New Year, New...Water?

 Has everyone already broken their New Year's Resolution yet?

Well, I have...on my third day too! :-/ My resolution was trying to actually be on time- getting to work & leaving work as well! I think with resolutions it's easier to just take it one day at a time & not to focus on the whole year all at once.

Usually, my resolutions are something to do with being more healthy & leading a more active lifestyle (for the most part those resolutions lasted about as long as mine this year...I can't help it that chocolate loves me & I love it back!).

Some weeks are better than others, but really my simplest goal is always to drink more water. A few months ago, i got a wonderful glass jar with a spout for my birthday so I could use it for my sun steeped tea & homemade flavored waters. I discovered that the best way to trick myself into drinking more water was to flavor it with something subtle & delicious- this also works if you are one of those weirdos that doesn't like the 'taste' of water.

Here are a couple recipes to try out that I personally think taste yummy & delicious:
Raspberry Rose Vanilla
Blackberry Sage
Pineapple Mint
Orange Cranberry
Strawberry & Basil
Peaches'n Cream
Watermelon & Lime Green Tea

Hopefully, you all haven't broken your resolutions & are still going strong, but for those of you who had a goal of being more healthy & needed another option instead of your go-to soda, I hope I helped you out! Here’s to a happy, healthy new year for all of us, & a few more glasses of water!


peace & love,
Lindsey

I'll Take a Summer Spritzer Please...

Summer entertaining is easy. Thanks to the beautiful sunshine, impromptu parties with friends & family can happen anywhere — from your backyard, patio, & deck to picnics at the park, pool, or beach. Or if you're like me & have no outdoor space, you can simply open the windows & whip up a batch of sangria in your home for a summer soiree indoors! These candy colored drinkware tools, serving pieces, & cocktail accessories can add a little bit of style & a festive feel to any delicious gathering you have this summer!

Love the Craspedia flower!


It’s been a long week, already & that’s not to say it has been bad. Mine has been filled with evening walks, playing with my sweet puppy, red lines on projects, kick off meeting at work (for the project I will be lead project manager for!), and lots of productivity.

I’m excited for a relaxing weekend though, really who wouldn't be?!, & just enough down time to recharge for next week.

Until the weekend, here are a few of my favorite treats as of right now!

A glass tea jar
I am in pursuit of finding a cute one that's actually made out of glass!
I want to make some sun tea this summer...in this Texas heat!

 Enjoy your the rest of your week & come back to enjoy some more sweet treats later!


peace & love,
Lynz
