Oh...Lent

For Lent, I gave up my favorite drink. Cranberry juice! I'm lame and don't drink alcohol often; cranberry juice is what I drink when I go out & still want to drink something with a pretty color. Lately, I've been drinking a lot of flavored water. Instead of being lazy and grabbing the Crystal Light or Vitamin Water, I've been making infused water. I was inspired by Jamie Oliver. I even added different kinds of herbs to a few of them in order to make my beverages extra special. Even if you're not celebrating Lent, or picked something else to give up, flavoring your water is a great way to mix it up and still get enough water in the day.
I tried the following combinations:

❀ Lemon and Cucumber
❀ Blueberry and Mint
❀ Strawberry and Basil
❀Orange and Ginger
❀Blackberry and Peppermint

My favorite was Blueberry and Mint. I think it's common knowledge around here that blueberry anything is my favorite. (: Just throw some blueberries (I used frozen, because they're obvious more cold) and some mint in a pitcher of water. I waited two days and my water turned this pretty purple color. A great thing about mint is, it helps with stomach pains. It's a good thing to drink if you're not feeling well, but it's too hot for tea. 

 It's nearly Spring in Las Vegas, I'm very excited and happy for the sunny days ahead! What's the weather like where you are?
