Sassy Water

Hi!

I came across this recipe on Pinterest....what else is new? So I tried this water out this past weekend and it's so refreshing and tastes great. It says the water is suppose to help you maintain a flat belly. I don't know if that is really true but it tastes GREAT! I doubled the recipe in the picture.

Here's what you need to do:

It's very easy to make: in 2 l water add 1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced, 1 lemon, thinly sliced, 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger and around 10 spearmint leaves.
leave in the fridge for a few hours or overnight and in the morning you'll have a cold and really refreshing drink.

Enjoy guys!

Maple Syrup Cookies

Hello Everyone,

Sorry it has been a while. But I'm back...I know you were worried. Anyway, my brother, Mike, made this amazing Maple Syrup from VERMONT TREES last year. I was lucky enough to get a couple pints from him. I decided to search good old Pinterest for a recipe and I wanted to share it with you! Next time I may add pecans...YUM!

Maple Syrup Cookies
So buttery, fluffy and moist these cookies are truly a worthwhile indulgence.

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup real maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
Granulated or organic sugar for rolling

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Add the egg, syrup and vanilla. Mix until well blended. Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda. Stir into mixture until well blended. Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in sugar. Place on cookie sheets about 2 inches apart and flatten slightly.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Let cool on wire rack.

Makes about 60 cookies.

Enjoy everyone!

Shaving with Conditioner

Hello Ladies and Gents...It's been way too long.

So this may be old news to most people but it's new to me. I am not the type of leg shaver that uses shaving cream. I don't know why but it just annoys me. I always use soap or nothing at all....I know I know...gross. But the other day I came across a website that said to try using conditioner. So I tried it last night and it was fantastic. I didn't even have to put on lotion after. For all you shaving cream fans, it does not lather up like a typical cream so it may be hard for you....but you have probably been shaving for 15+ years so you should pick it quickly :) haha.

This new discovery is AWESOME because I have a giant Costco size bottle of conditioner in my shower. It's the little things.
