LEMON AID!

So good for you!

Looking to have a fresh start to spring? Yes it is on its way...Get a fresh start! Does drinking lemon water daily sound exciting to you? I did not think it would, but there are amazing benefits to this little citrus fruit squeezed into water. Besides being Vitamin C rich, it also contains vitamin B, has calcium, riboflavin, magnesium, just to name a few nutrients.

Too much cozying up next to the fire with hot chocolate and cookies this winter could be cause for your spring wardrobe fitting little snug. Adding lemon water daily can assist you in any weight loss program. It paves the road to quicker weight loss; it will help your body to eliminate toxins, cleanse and even help with some of your aches and pains because it is a diuretic. A great way to start your morning would be to take hot water (I use my biggest water glass) and squeeze half a lemon into it, before you have caffeine. If you cannot contemplate plain water and lemon, add a bit of agave nectar or honey. If you start out with a smaller piece of lemon, your taste buds will grow to accept it without sweetener, so I would recommend just try it that way. When I was on a veggie detox, starting my day with this, on about the fourth or fifth day it actually tasted sweet. I read a recommendation to actually do this twice a day; I may try that because there are so many other benefits to doing so.

It will help your complexion, keep you regular, aid in digestion, its antibacterial properties can help with sore throats and respiratory issues (I actually wipe down my wood cutting board with it rather than soap--then lightly rub in Mineral Oil~that is an extraJ), helps lower blood pressure and relax the mind (stress reduction), and, the pectin can also assist in cholesterol lowering. There are too many benefits as far as I can see to not incorporate this into daily intake. Why, it sounds like sitting down and relaxing with a nice cup of tea as my grandmother used to enjoyJ, not discounting the benefits of green tea here of course, but her tea consisted of lots of sugar and milk taking the benefits away other than it was her method to relax.

So, get your system ready for the freshness of spring. Start your day cleansing and purifying; add to that an exercise routine, healthy eating, and, you will be off on the right foot. When you bring out your spring wardrobe, it will still fit; as an added benefit you just might also have glowing skin to match it. Did I mention anti-aging as well? TimelessBeauty4U!

Above is a link with a write up verifying what I originally said.  Take care of your heart and your love's heart this Valentines Day.  My Salad suggestion was not only loaded with tomatoes, but also Omega rich avocado.  Avocado also contains Folate and Vitamin E for heart health and cancer prevention, assists in lowering colesterol levels.  Some recommend an avocado a day, I even use it in place of mayonnaise.  You can google health benefits of avocado, this link even tells you the best way to peel them in order to get the most nutrition
out of your fruit.  http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=5  WebMD also has great information.  As you add avocado, you will be eating something good for your heart and also good for your skin.  Timeless beauty for you!  Enjoy

Set the Mood this Valentines Day

Valentines day is next week.  Are you ready?  Last year in lieu of going out to a restaurant, I decided I wanted to prepare a special meal at home.  It was beautiful, we were alone and not in a room full of strangers, I controlled our food quantity and seasonings.  I saw this on my husband's calendar several weeks ago "dinner with Cindy", so I am now thinking about what to do.  If he is planning something, I would not want to rob him of his blessing.  I may do my meal on Sunday, but we do go out often.  We actually just got home from a week in the sun with a couple of special dinners out.  When ever I do make our special meal, my menu has not been decided; but I do know I will be making Red Velvet cup cakes 

(especially since I found silicone heart shaped cup cake molds).  

The following link is a blog with a very interesting recipe~~ http://bestcupcakerecipes.blogspot.com/2009/02/red-velvet-cupcake-recipe.html.  

Had I not found the heart molds I think I would be making Red Velvet Whoopie Pies (I'll try it some other time) http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/cousin-jonnies-red-velvet-whoopee-pies-recipe/index.html.  Well, enough about me and what I will make, this is for you.

We all want to set the mood for romance, don't we.  We will fix our hair to our best ability, put on our 

make-up, his favorite dress or outfit, light a scented candle (by the way...if you are preparing a scrumptious meal and filling the house with great aroma of cooking, you don't want to compete with it), set the table with your good china.  It doesn't have to be a complicated meal.  A simple Shrimp Scampi (look on line for recipes~~you should be able find a simple one), some grilled or roasted asparagus topped with some slivered almonds, salad of cut up avocado, tomato (about equal parts), a little arugula, thinly sliced red onion or shallots on top, and a simple balsamic vinaigrette. Just make it something out of the ordinary and it will be special.  I almost always google recipes, read several and come up with my own ideas from what I see.

Now, if you are in the season of life with young kids at home, you may need to be creative for a solution for a romantic evening alone.  How about trading kids with a friend on Saturday and Sunday night; you will each have one quiet night alone.  When the kids are over, opt for chicken nuggets and pasta salad with broccoli and bow-ties or mac and cheese.  With a little bit of advanced planning, you can set the mood for a quiet romantic evening at home, whether it be on Valentines Day or any other day.  You have all that is needed for a timelessly beautiful evening.  Make the magic happen.  Have a truly beautiful celebration of your love.

 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is (springs) from God; 

and he who loves [his fellowmen] is begotten (born) 

of God and is coming [progressively] to know and understand God [to perceive and recognize and get a better and clearer knowledge of Him]. 

1 John 4: 7 Amplified Version
