While riding my bike for miles on end in the hot summer heat I decided to stop into a 7-11 to obtain a nice cold slurpee. As I walked into the cool AC and stepped up to the machine I had second thoughts. I looked at the list of ingredients and my rule of thumb is if I don’t know what it is (or worse if I do) I don’t put it in my body. So, now I’m left here hot, sweaty and thirsty. Oh wait! I can totally make a slurpee! I hopped back onto my bike and peddled home as quickly as possible. Time for a slurpee Miss Poundcake style.

Watermelon Slush is sweet, appealing to the eye and will quench your thirst. Enjoy!

Watermelon Slush

Preparation Time: 10 minutes (if you have to cut up an entire watermelon)

Total Time: 15 minutes

Serves 1

Ingredients

2 cups of organic, ice cold watermelon

1 cup of ice

1/4 cup of water

Directions

1. Cut a watermelon into slices. If the watermelon isn’t cold I recommend that you place it into the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
2. Place 2 cups of watermelon chunks aside.
3. Add 1 cup of ice to a blender.
4. Add the 2 cups of watermelon into the blender.
5. Add the 1/4 cup of water to the blender.
6. Put the top onto the blender.
7. Blend for about 30 to 60 seconds.
8. Pour into a pretty glass.
9. Serve!

One of my best Dolls is heartbroken after a devastating break-up with her Dick so I’ve decided to share with all my Dolls (especially you bella) how to make sure to keep yourself together and stay fabulous.

• Go away! Either take a vacation or go spend a week at your parents house to escape all the drama.
• Pamper yourself. You’d be surprised how a facial, mani & pedi can change your mood instantly.
• Get rid of all his things preferably in the garbage but if you must drop it off than at least drop it off at one of his cute friends apartment (even though all you are doing is dropping off his things it will drive him mad to think about you and “Bobby” all alone).
• Workout. Not only will working out totally clear your head but it will keep your body banging and we all know that the best revenge is looking good.
• Put down the ice-cream and have a smoothie. The smoothie will cure your sweet tooth and not leave you feeling guilty.

As we all have been told in the past, only time will heal a broken heart but great friends and healthy food helps too. I love you Doll. Stay strong. Remember, there will be a new Dick in no time.

A much needed drink was in order yesterday afternoon with the scattered thunderstorms in Puerto Rico which kept me at the hotel bar. I looked at the cocktail list and ordered the “Heaven” drink. The bartender, Manuel, looked at me and smiled. He than said, “I think you’d rather sin.”

“Well, of course! I do like to live a vibrant life” I replied.

He than pointed to the menu and showed me the available “Sin” cocktail. I smiled and agreed to try it. Who would have thought sin could taste so heavenly.
