It's also the perfect dish to make if your kitchen is under construction like mine was for this video. It's a cold dish so nothing to heat up. 

First, mix together two cans of drained whole-kernel corn, two cups of mexican blend cheese, one cup of light mayo, diced red pepper, pepper and a bit of cilantro in a bowl. Then, add crushed Chili Cheese Fritos and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

This is my favorite way to make a regular drink feel fancy! Sprinkle a little edible glitter in a silicone mold and fill with water and freeze. When it melts, your drink will be cute and sparkly.

My drink today is two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach syrup, lemon juice and club soda! Stir and watch it sparkle.

First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

The Best Post-Workout Water

So now that we’ve moved into a neighborhood, I’ve started running. Yep, you read right. It’s pretty hilarious and resembles Bambi learning to walk sometimes, but I’m doing it. I’ve said time and time again on this blog that I don’t run. However when I do, I lose the most amount of weight in the shortest amount of time. Lately, time has not been on my side, so it’s an easy way to spend 30 minutes and get a good workout.

It’s time to start getting in shape consistently again. I did great before the wedding, but then fell off the wagon when I didn’t eat anything delicious for 10 months. Recently, I’ve hopped back on again though. And my new friend Alkalife TEN water is helping me do it.

I am super duper picky about my water (which I realize is a weird thing to be super duper picky about, but I am). I can taste the difference between the brands and there are some brands of water I just can’t drink. However, this brand just tastes so…pure. I guess that is the best way to describe it. It just tastes like delicious, crisp, clear water. Nothing added, everything gross taken away, it’s just good water.

The moment I had my first sip, I knew this was my new brand. It’s now the bottle I grab when I’m thirsty or finishing a workout. BONUS: for those of us who aren’t 21 anymore and can’t bounce back from a night of margaritas quite as easily, this water is your new best friend. It’s full of electrolytes, but doesn’t have the sugars of Gatorade and doesn’t make you feel ridiculous like you do when drinking Pedialyte. No, you don’t do that? Just me? Cool.

Anywayyyys, I maintain that honesty is my numero uno policy around here. I was given a case of water to test out,  but immediately fell in love and had to share this find. You can purchase Alkalife TEN here (24 pack) and here (6 pack.)

What’s your favorite way to exercise?

    Ahh I didn’t realize this had electrolytes too! I used to love Gatorade for that reason but it’s a bit too sweet for me now.

    Nice! I’ve never heard of this product about I am thoroughly interested! I’m definitely going to look for it.

    Never heard of this brand but I love that it has electrolytes in it! You definitely need those after a work out and sometimes I just can’t drink a whole bottle of Gatorade!

    You go girl! I know what you mean.. the water needs to taste right, but how can water taste right? haha

Picking just a few photos to share from our family Picking just a few photos to share from our family photoshoot with @keikilaniphotography was the hardest thing ever! 

I'm saving Ben's 2-year-old portraits for his birthday so that made it a little easier, but every picture Jennifer sent us is just perfection.

Love these two with all my heart. So grateful for this life. 💕
