Strawberry Limeade

With summer right around the corner now is the time to be thinking about great refreshments to make to stay cool. Since strawberries and limes make a good combination why not incorporate it into a wonderful drink. It is real easy to turn this recipe into a daiquiri just by adding a little rum to the mix. If you want this drink all year round you can just add frozen berries if there are no fresh berries available.

Ingredients
6-10 fresh or frozen thawed strawberries
2 ounces simple syrup (directions to make will follow)
3 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice
8-10 ounces chilled club soda or water

Directions
1. If you have fresh strawberries, cut them in quarters. Place the berries in a cocktail shaker or large glass and smash them a bit with a muddler, a pestle or just the back of a spoon. You don't have to worry about getting them pureed; you just want them to release some juice.

2. Add the simple syrup and lime juice and a few ice cubes. If you're using a cocktail
shaker, shake for 30 seconds or so. If you're using a glass, stir vigorously.

3. Using a small, medium-fine strainer, strain the strawberry lime liquid evenly into two glasses (about 9 ounces; highball glasses are a good choice). Use the muddler or spoon to press down on the solids in the strainer to get all the liquid out.

4. Fill the glasses about a third full with ice cubes and pour the club soda or water over. Gently but thoroughly stir to combine. Adjust with more simple syrup or lime juice if necessary. Garnish with a wedge of lime or a strawberry split halfway (if you're using fresh berries).

Simple Syrup

Just combine equal parts (by volume) of granulated sugar and water. Shake or stir to dissolve the sugar. If the water is warm or hot, the sugar will dissolve more easily, but you'll want to chill the syrup (at least to room temperature) before using. You can keep the extra simple syrup in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.

You can replace the strawberries with raspberries and the lime juice with lemon for an equally refreshing drink.

Things I wanted to share

I am on a site with some wonderful writers and sometimes it is difficult to share our articles on sites like Twitter and Facebook. So a friend suggested to me to try another way to share these articles to everyone I can come across. Well, here are a few articles I would love to share today. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did.

So as you can see I like reading different types of articles and I don't mind sharing them as well. Please take the time to read each one above. Thank you.

Ivory 2-In-1 Hair and Body Wash

I received a new vox-box from Influenster and the kids and I wasted no time in trying it out. I was a little skeptical at first but I tried it and I really liked the silky feeling it left on my body. This product saved up so much space around my tub area. I didn't have three separate items just laying around.
My oldest son was so happy to use this product. He was tired of having to use two different products for his hair and his body. He really likes being able to wash everything with one item.
I like the fresh yet gentle scent of Ivory® 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash. The smell is not overwhelming like some of those perfume body washes. It was simply fresh and clean!Ivory® 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash is overall wonderful. It’s a great body wash leaving your skin clean and moisturized. It’s nice for shaving, leaving your legs smooth and soft. And I absolutely love it for my hair cause its quick and simple, and after a few uses I noticed it made my hair super smooth and soft!So empty your shower of the six different kinds of soap/shampoo you have and run right out and get ONE bottle of Ivory® 2-IN-1 Hair & Body Wash! Then relax and Enjoy!

TastyKake Kandy Bar Kakes

I received my Spring VoxBox today and it contained a TastyKake Kandy Bar Kake S'mores flavored. It was melted due to the fact that its hot outside and was probably even hotter inside the mailbox. I let my son Alex open the new treat and he half of it with me. Although most of the chocolate was melted off of the S'mores you can still taste the moistness of this wonderful and fluffy cake.




I can't wait to try the other brands (Peppermint and Peanut Butter) that they have.

Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+

I received this product today in the mail thanks to Influenster. I received the Osis Gelastic.



This product is an ultra strong flex gel that provides all day definition and control and dries with a firm finish. The only thing I hate about it is that it was a little hard to get all of my hair when washing it.

ImPress Press on Manicure

I received my set of press on nails a few weeks ago. I'm not really into wearing fake nails, but these were a little different. I like that these nails didn't require any special glue to hold them in place. I still don't like fake nails, but I might buy these on special occasions.




Important Note: I received these products complimentary for testing purposes from Influenster.
