Weekend Recap:

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoying the first few days of summer. I know we've been waiting all year for the slower paced, more relaxed, outdoor time and I for one am so glad it's here. 

Aaron's family is here visiting for the week and we kicked off the weekend  grilling out. My dad gave us a little recipe for burgers which included powdered onion soup mix, Eggs, and garlic and they were delicious! As new Griller's the only thing we had a little tough time with was how long to cook the burgers on the grill. Do you have any tips or rules of thumbs for doing so? Luckily... Our burgers came out medium well  but we had to cut into the burgers a few times to make sure .  Have you ever had pesto on corn? One of my favorite goodies, Bobby Flay once introduced me to this marvel and I haven't been able to go back since. Basically, you grill your corn with butter and pesto sauce (out of a jar from the grocery store) for about 10-15 mins slowly on the coolest part of your grill. I dare you to try it... You may never go back :-).

Food Idea to get your week started:

During the warmer months of the year, I crave smoothies. They are a sweet little treat that I look forward to everyday. The neat thing about smoothies is that there really is a choice for every facet of life; smoothies for energy, skin, diet, health and/or indulgence.  My pick this week is an energizing Triple Berry Smoothie.

Need a little fun?  This past week we dined on seafood burritos and I found the perfect summer cocktail recipe from fellow foodie, David Venable. It's a mouthwatering Kiwi Cilantro Margarita. Check out the recipe here in my ToGather collection. 

Beauty Obsession: Clarisonic Plus Sonic System with Bliss a254456

I think by now we all know and love the story of what Clarisonic can do for our face... But I always feel like we are leaving out the best part... Total body cleansing. Here's why I bring it up...

During the summer months I feel like there's a lot that goes into our skin... Sticky SPF's, self tanners, moisturizers with illuminizing  properties, sweat, dirt, and gosh knows what else our hectic life entails...

Why not treat yourself to total body exfoliation so you can set you skin up to receive all the goodness of your beauty products, but then if you decide to go au natural, you skin is back to basics, feeling soft and smooth.

Here's where Clarisonic is genius ... They give you a body brush which magically sends the Plus a message to switch its timer to three mins- I'm glad they have the timer function on there. I either exfoliated way too long or not enough. Clarisonic then paired  it with Bliss' amazing exfoliated for body and face that takes this grainy exfoliate to a frothy soft spa like experience- and I can say that because they use this in their facials world wide.

What do you think? Are you up for full body exfoliation?!

PM Style:

What's your fav Wen Scent/formula? I just picked up Bamboo Green Tea, which is step out of the box from my tea tree days but I'm really excited to try this treatment based formula . We've got the gallons in the show tonight... So get yours before they're gone, a255710.

Here's the jacket I'll be wearing from Joan tonight...a235133
