{colossal FUN 4th of JULY}

I had a wonderful 4th of July weekend.

I am truly blessed and feel so lucky to have been surrounded

by family and friends for the long holiday weekend.

Everyone laughing as we swam in the pool,

splash in the ocean and created fabulous sandcastles.

That is our youngest daughter Destiny in the blue swim goggles

sporting her awesomeness on her boogie board.

This is our oldest daughter with our sooooooooo precious Granddaughter.

I got my feet buried in the cool sand.

We pretended to be on WIPE OUT as we bounce and jumped off

our huge float into the ocean.

Yes, that is me in the hat waving HELLO to all of you in blogville.

We enjoyed the breathtaking and beautiful Florida sunset and

watched the spectacular FIREWORKS from the beach on Casey Key.

Flower Power

I have fond memories of spending girl time with my Mom and my sweet sister Penny. Steam facials is one affair that we would often take part in which involved hanging our heads over a bowl of steaming hot water. My face would feel so amazing after the water vapors hydrated my face and my heart would feel joyful from silly conversations.

Here is the recipe for a homemade steam facial that you may want to try. Have fun mix it up and experiment with different flowers to come up with your own a version floral facial.

Flower Petal Steam Facial

The power of flowers should not be taken for granted this summer.  All of the flowers are in full bloom and do wonders to keep your skin soft and hydrated.
Ingredients:

4 cups of Distilled Water

1/2 cup of Fresh Flower Petals (lilac, rose, pansy, camellia, or jasmine petals)

Directions:

Bring water to a boil and then remove the pot from the heat, carefully transfer to a large bowl then and add the flower petals, stirring gently. Let the mixture rest for five minutes then lean over the pot, keeping your face about 12 inches off the surface of the water, and drape a towel over your head to trap the steam. Sit for five to ten minutes over the stem then rinse your face with cool water and pat dry.
