Classic Mojito, how I love thee

With summer, comes my longing for cold and refreshing adult beverages. The mojito of course is one that I crave most.

Right after college I spent some time working as a server at a Cuban restaurant and learned how the classic cocktail was made, and since have been kind of a snob about it (I even have a hard time ordering them places  now because so often they get ruined by sour mix).

Luckily, with the help of google you too can make the perfect mojito.

What is your ideal summer cocktail?

Product of the week: The PERFECT summer body lotion

I tend to play favorites with my products. I use things religiously. My most recent and favorite body lotion has been Avalon Organics Lavender hand & body lotion. But on a recent trip to Target I took a chance on a new product. I've tried several of the organix brand shampoos and conditioners, but I smelled (and, okay.. sampled) some of this tea tree & peppermint lotion ($8.24) from the brand and seriously fell in love. I can definitely see myself using this after laying out in the sun or on a hot day to cool off and refresh my skin.

Not only does it feel great, but I am actually really loving how much my skin absorbs this stuff. My skin feels soft and moisturized but not greasy which is great because I hate greasy feeling products.

I totally 100% absolutely recommend this stuff. Grab a bottle for summer and thank me later ;]!

What are some of your favorite summertime splurges?
