The Most Amazing Pomegranate Lemonade {That gives you energy}

I can’t believe that I haven’t posted anything in a long time! Things around here have been a little crazy. I have been working two jobs, buying a house, planning a wedding and spending some time with the most amazing fiancé ever, all while living in a house with 9 other people.

I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for my daily vitamins and this energy tea, I don’t think I would be able to make it through all of this.

My vitamins keep me sane and focused all day long and my tea gives me the energy to last the entire day without getting all jittery or crashing come night fall (AKA midnight).

You only need 3 things:

1. Lemons
2. Stevia – I used liquid although powder works just as well

3. Energizing Pomegranate Tea – There is also a Energizing Green Tea (I personally prefer the green tea hot apposed to iced but both work well.

Here is a short video showing you just how I make my famous Pomegranate Lemonade Iced Tea.

It is just 4 simple steps:

1. Fill cup up with ice and water.

2. Open tea and pour it in.
3. Squeeze a wedge of lemon into your drink.

4. Add Stevia to taste and stir.

There you have it, My Famous Pomegranate Lemonade!!!!

I have had so many people ask me how I make this energy tea and I finally got around to making a video for you.

This is just one of my favorite types of teas. Are you a tea drinker? Do you have a recipe that you would like me to try? I would love to know what other people are drinking!

Chocolate Mocha Latte Smoothie

When it comes to me and my smoothies, there is nothing I would rather have in the morning! I probably have over 50 recipes up in my head that I need to write down to share with all of you. They are so filling and refreshing.

Today I am sharing a recipe that I actually got from Shaklee itself. It is so good and I know that you are going to love it. Don’t get me wrong I still love my Chocolate Frape Smoothie. But this is a great alternative if you don’t have coffee cubes on hand.

You will need:

1 scoop Shaklee 180™ Café Latte Smoothee Mix
1 scoop Shaklee 180™ Chocolate Smoothee Mix
8 oz non fat milk (low-fat soy milk can also be used)
1/4 tsp instant coffee
Ice (as needed)

Combine all ingredients in blender. Blend until creamy.

260 calories, 31g carbohydrates, 24g protein, 3g fat,6g fiber

I just wanted to share with all of you a little piece of reality! This is what it looks like behind the senses of most of my blog posts. This is breakfast time at the Heasley house!

This is what my picture looks like for all of you, hehe!

Do you ever have smoothies for breakfast?

If not what do you like to have?

You can find more recipes on my Facebook page.

Designing My Wedding Center Pieces {Using Clear Wine Bottles}

With the wedding only four and a half months away I feel like there is still so much to do. I know that I am going to have a ton of DIY things for the reception since I want to make sure that everything is cost efficient. Ok, and because I want everything to be perfect and just what I have envisioned.

Pinterest has been a great help with all of my planning so far! It has helped me decide so many things, for instance: My wedding color scheme along with some of my other Wedding ideas.

Although today I am going to need a little bit of your help. I can’t decide what I want to do with all of these clear glass wine bottles. My Mom and Dad were down at a winery in Missouri, where they picked up a couple dozen empty clear wine bottles that I can use for the wedding.

So naturally I would go on pinterest to see what kind of DIY’s I could come up with for clear wine glasses. These were my favorites:

This one I cold even use all of the corks I have been collecting.

Meanwhile, I had to get these bottles in shape for the wedding. I needed to remove the tops and the labels off of all of them. I thought it would take hours because there were so many.

I filled up our sink with hot water and put a quarter of a teaspoon of Basic H into the tub and let them soak for 10 minutes.

To my surprise all of the labels came right off! Thank you Basic H!

I am so glad it only took me 10 minutes to get all of these cleaned and not a couple of hours like I thought it would.

So after all of that work, the question still stands: What do you think I should do with all of these wine bottles? I just can’t make up my mind.

Cleaning Your Winter Boots

I have been talking a lot about Chicago winters and how they take a toll everything. I would have to say that my winter boots take the biggest toll of all. The amount of salt that is laid on the ground to melt the snow is more than enough to to wreck my boots and I don’t take care of them the way I know I should.

Here is a short video showing you exactly what I do to not only clean off my boots but to keep them clean as well.

My mom (From Parents Of A Dozen) has a great video showing you just how we make these organic handy wipes using an all natural house hold cleaner. I have been using these wipes around my house of over 10 years now and I will never go back to store bought wipes again.

Are your boots having a rough time with all of this winter salt? Do you even live in place where there is salt because the snow is never ending?

Thanks for following along!
