My love of "beach hair"

Happy Friday to all!

One thing that I love is the beach, I love walking on it, I love being in it, I love just sitting and looking at it. But my all time favorite is how my looks, acts and feels t the beach. Now since I live about 60 miles from any beach out in the Inland Empire. I have found a product that helps me have my "beach hair" everyday. It is from my favorite skin care line Babyface called Ocean Water sea salt texturizing spray. I use after I use my gel on my wet hair, blow dry and scrunch it up. I have that beachy, sexy hair anytime I want.

So check it and trust me, you will love it!

Summer Succotash

Wow, time has flown by and I have been traveling and busy around the house. I have to get back to blogging and sharing the new things that I love.

Here is a recipe from The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone, it is light and full of flavor.

1 T of Earth Balance Butter
1 t olive oil
1 c diced red onion
1 garlic cloved, minced
1 (10oz) package of frozen baby lima beans, thawed
1 c fresh or frozen corn
1 c cherry tomatoes, halved
2 T chopped fresh parsley
2 T chopped fresh basil
1 T red or white balsamic vinegar

Heat the butter and oil together in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and saute' for 5-7 mins or until onion begins to brown. Add the garlic, and cook 1 min longer.

Stir in the beans, and saute' for 5 mins. Add the corn and tomatoes, and saute' 1 min longer or until just heated thought. You don't want the tomatoes to collapse just release their juices. Remove from heat, and stir in the parsley, basil, and vinegar. Served warm or chilled.

Today in So Cal the sun is shining and a wonderful 88 degrees, this was the perfect lunch for such a beautiful day. Enjoy
