Not Your Everyday Lemonade Stand

Summertime in my family means lots of lemonade. Anything easy to hydrate the kids that's not soda and full of sugar is OKAY with me.

Our FAVORITE drink WAS Crystal Light Lemonade and the delish Chick-fil-A Lemonade with Splenda.  Oh how I thought I found the perfect drink. Until.....(que sound effects.....dun, dun, dun) 

I schooled myself on artificial sweeteners.  

Don't despair, we have brought back lemonade and I am here to share it with you. You will need lemon juice. I purchase organic lemon juice from Costco. Water. I use the wonderful reverse osmosis water from my well. Sweetener.  Your choices are stevia, xylitol, maple syrup, honey.  

My typical mix is 1 Cup Lemon Juice to 6 Cups Water

Sweeten to taste. 

Good Things Take Time

My business is like a crockpot, the longer you let things 

simmer and cook, the better it is.  

I tried a new one on my family last night.  In honor of our late cousin, Bijan Bouzari, who lost his life to brain cancer, I made Persian food.  I started with some amazing ingredients. Organic, free range, natural. It took a little mixing and prep.  Then some time in the crock pot.  Slow and steady.  I stirred it. I checked to make sure the pot was not too hot or too cold. Made some adjustments.

It reminds me of my business and mission to help others adopt a healthier lifestyle with Arbonne.  I just have to consistently put the great ingredients together, put them in the pot.  Check the pot every once-in-awhile.  Make sure it's not too hot or cold.  Then most of the people in there will come out Health, Wealthy and Wise. So Delish!

Persian Slow Cooked Chicken

In the olive oil browning.

I used Almond Flour instead of wheat flour and added a little salt. Served with Lundberg's Organic Short Grain Brown Rice and Quinoa and Organic Frozen Green Beans both from Costco.  Costco even sells organic boneless skinless chicken thighs.  I shortened the crockpot time and it turned out great. 

My husbands plate. He went for seconds!

Up in my Kitchen!!!!

It just got REAL Christmas & 

Thin Mint up in my kitchen!

Thanks to this peppermint oil and Arbonne's chocolate protein powder!



I have been drinking this Chocolate goodness daily for the past 16 months.  

Now, I know I did not discover some great new flavor combination. 

I am just slow at putting mint together with my 20 grams of vegan chocolate protein shake mix. Do you like chocolate? 

OH so delicious!

2 Scoops Arbonne Chocolate protein powder

Clean Eating on a Stick

I think some people think I drink shakes

all day and don't eat real food.  

Beware of any quick fix weight loss/health scheme.  

Just eat REAL food.
I love food.

I love meat.
I love meat free of hormones and that was not fed GMO grains and corn.

Here is an EASY healthy dinner.

1 pound of grass fed beef sirloin
1-2 Organic Bell Peppers*
1-2 Zucchini* or Yellow Squash*
1 - Medium Onion
1 package whole mushrooms
1T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1T Lemon Juice
Salt and Pepper
Mix and let it be all happy together in the bowl for 1-2 hours.
*These need to be organic because they are on the Dirty Dozen list 

 Kids like it because it is on a stick. 

Grill it and serve it up with some Lundberg non GMO Short Grain Brown Rice. 

28 Day Clean Eating Challenges usually start the 1st and 3rd Monday of each month. 

Curious, ask for more info. 

It's not a FAD, It's a MOVEMENT!

I was introduced in clean eating in May of 2013. At that time, I knew a few people who read labels and others that veered away from gluten.  That May I was asked to do the Arbonne 28 Day Clean Eating Challenge and my world has never been the same. It not only revolutionized my kitchen.....It created an income stream by serving others up the same nutritious education.

This Clean Eating thing, is not a FAD.  Parachute Pants, that was a fad.  Humans caring to know what is in the food they are eating is a MOVEMENT.  Last March, my local grocery store chain (HEB) came out with an entire line of organic foods.  It is a global movement according to Robyn O'Brien's recent article.

Along with the changes at the store, more and more people are joining my Arbonne team to share and educate and learn about wellness.  I met with three people this week who are interested in joining this business because they believe in wellness and wealth!

What we put IN our bodies and ON our bodies really do matter.

Arbonne has been around for 35 years and has ALWAYS been mindful of their ingredients. The Clean Eating Challenge's I lead teaches people how to eat REAL food and most importantly, WHY.

There is not one drink or pill that will restore your health.  It starts with FOOD.

If you are looking to get healthy and don't know where to start.  Or if you are looking for an additional income stream to add to your finances.  NOW is the time.  Arbonne is the place. We are a global business that HAS what people are looking for.  There is a storm of success brewing, the tides are shifting.  Get on board and ride!

If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it!
