Happy Labor Day! Tips on how to make the most of your day off!

On behalf of all my fellow workers congrats on making it more than half of the year without tearing your hair out or your bosses! Great job, you deserve the day off! ( just don't show up tomorrow and let the craziness out for all the office to see!) for today since its pretty much lazy day, I thought the best thing to post is better ways to enjoy your lazy day!

Its five o' clock somewhere and why not enjoy your leisure time off the way you want! The best way I can think of is by hanging with my BFF's and drinking some bubbly cocktails! Whether you can enjoy with friends or not this recipe is sure to make you forget that tomorrow is a work day! 

I had a small get together and these were hitting the spot...

Strawberry Moscato Lemonade! 
 

What you need:

Friends to drink with or an unsuspecting liver!

Moscato

Lemon Juice

Sugar

Strawberries

The fancy way to serve is mix some strawberries the lemon juice sugar and ice until well blended and serve over Moscato with ice. Its that easy! But if you're like me and rather get to the drinking faster it also works just fine by mixing all of the ingredients in a container. Voila a drink you'll have to keep reminding yourself is alcoholic cause it'll remind you of those hot summer days! 

Get ready for tomorrow!

Milk Maid Braids

I know I know the last thing you wanna think of is work but tomorrow is Tuesday and guess what?! Work will still be there so why not show off a cute new hair style!

These Milk Maid Braids are just wonderful! There are so many styles to choose from but the one above is my personal favorite...

Part hair in middle and gather hair from top to make a bump (try to keep it out of Snooki heights) 

Next, after you have your bump set; separate hair on each side and on one side make two braids, tie with elastic, then move on to the next side and twist hair up. All that is left is pinning hair on opposite side with bobby pins, spray with hair spray and add any little charms you might have laying around. This works better with longer hair but if you have mid length hair just remember to braid up; it'll give you a little extra length to work with! 

And since I'm sure today is your only Monday off for the whole year why don't you take advantage of the warm sun and go out for a walk, job, run, bicycle ride, swim anything where you are active. We as a nation are already falling victims to obesity, diabetes and many other food related diseases. I know in some cases food isn't the only culprit but what are you doing to help your body defend itself against these major problems and also smaller ones like the cold, sore muscles... CHILDREN! Even though we don't realize it, what we intake will affect us now and later on in life. 

I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life but trust me just take these as suggestions that your body will love! 

Treat Yo'self! By being active!

After that walk or exercise always remember to replenish all the nutrients you used to burn those calories! My best and favorite post work out snack is fruit smoothies! 

Here's a great example that I found at www.mamaslatinas.com

Just pick a base of greens: spinach, kale, lettuce (the darker green the better)

Then add your favorite fruits my personal favorites are mango, berries, and bananas! 

If that's still not enough add Greek yogurt if you like it creamier along with ice and blend! 

Enjoy!

I hope you all are having a great Labor Day so far and remember the day is not over yet make it the best day off you've had until next year! Thank you for reading! :)
