The fall season brings so much stress.  First we have the back to school season, and that is immediately followed by the holiday season.  This also just happens to be the time that is the busiest for my business.  With everything going on, it is absolutely essential that I am feeling well and have plenty of energy.  One thing that I find helps with this is Emergen-C®.  Today I’m going to tell you why Emergen-C is a fall must-have for me, and I’ve got a delicious “better for you” popsicle recipe featuring the product!

Emergen-C is a dietary supplement.  It comes in powder form that, when mixed with water, makes a delicious fizzy drink that’s great for a morning pick me up or as an electrolyte replacement after your workout.  It also provides a great source of Vitamin C and antioxidants for immune support and B vitamins to enhance your energy without caffeine.  [Read more…]

Friday Favorites – Week 325 – Summer Recipes with Fresh Fruit

Welcome friends! And Happy Friday.  As I perused last week’s link up, I came across some amazing summer recipes!  In particular, I was impressed by today’s three for three reasons: they include fruit (which is cool and perfect for summer), they are colorful in presentation, and they are also unique and creative.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Hi everyone. I am Christine from Must Love Home. I was honored when Jerri asked me to be a part of her Summer Recipe series at Simply Sweet Home. At Must Love Home, I am able to share my love of DIY, decor, creating easy recipes, cooking, and well…eating!

Today I want to share one of my most delicious and simple recipes: Mini Lemon tarts with Strawberries. The beauty of making these tarts is that you do not need any expensive tart pans. I use wide mouth mason jar lids!! And the recipe only calls for four ingredients. Let’s get started!

LO Fruit Beverage Review

Lo Drinks

With all the heat and humidity out there, we’ve been going through juice, sports drinks, and other beverages like they’re going out of style.  I recently stocked the fridge with an assortment of Lo Fruit Beverages. LO is a low sugar, and low carb fruit beverage that tastes great.

This is a great product for those who are health conscious or have dietary restrictions.  It is naturally sweetened with Stevia, and it contains ActiVin®, an all-natural Red Grape Seed Extract rich in polyphenols – powerful plant-based antioxidants called proanthocyanidins.

One ten ounce serving of LO contains the same amount of calories (35 – 45), carbs (8 – 11 grams), and sugars (7 – 10 grams) as found in one whole fruit. Additionally, LO Fruit Beverage is a certified low GI (glycemic index) product, as clinically test by Glycemic Index Laboratories, kosher, vegan, and gluten free.

LO comes in great flavors like Mango Mojito, Pomegranate Mojito, Acai-Blue, and Pomegranate.  I think I like the Acai-Blue the best! These can be purchased in packs of 4 and 12.  And you can choose packages with the individual flavors or choose a mix of flavors.

My favorite thing about the product is its versatility.  The product may be enjoyed as a cool drink straight out of the bottle, or you may also use it as a mixer for smoothies, and even cocktails!

You can place your order for Lo Fruit Beverages on their website, or look for the product on Amazon.

Kool-Aid Drink Cart

With summer time comes a season of picnics, pool parties, and backyard barbecues.  We just set up new patio furniture and a new grill on our back deck and have already grilled three times in the past couple of weeks.  If you’re planning any backyard barbecues yourself, Kool-Aid can certainly help you out with some cool drinks and refreshments.  Without a doubt, I’m sure you are familiar with the Kool-Aid powders, Jammers, and other products.  But did you know Kool-Aid also comes in a Ready to Drink 96 ounce bottle?
