Watermelon Smoothies – Delicious and SO Refreshing!
If you’ve been to this site before, you probably already know that I’m a big fan of Green Smoothies – I’ve been having them for breakfast pretty much every day for the past several years.

The American Cancer Society recommends four easy, fun, and safe sun habits: Slip, Slap, Slop and Speak out. It all sounds so easy – grab a bottle of sunscreen, apply it, and you’re safe to go out into the sun.
