100% Fruit Sorbet

I love sorbet… way too much!! I’m also looking for ways to cut out sugars and processed food.

A couple years ago I received the best gift ever! A Yonana! It’s an ice cream and smoothie maker. It uses only 100% pure fruit.

It’s a great little appliance to own, and it makes some great healthy and clean cold dishes.

How to make:

Freeze your fruit for a few hours or over night, then thaw.

I chose 1/2 cup blueberries, 1 cup of watermelon and 2 peaches (skin gone.)
I froze them all in separate containers overnight, then thawed on the counter for about 20mins before I was ready to make my sorbet.
Place each fruit separately or mix it up into Yonana or blender and press into a large bowl. Use an ice cream scoop to serve, and voila!

Fresh, real and healthy sorbet!

Quick & refreshing Aloe Face Mask at home!

Summer is well into the swing of things, and before we know it, it’s going to be over!

Our skin is getting lots of sun exposure, wind (from out door activities, or recovering from winter) and my face in particular is just feeling a bit, well… blah! As I am starting to reach into my late, late 20’s, my skin is changing. Maybe… not in my favor. But, that’s just the way it’s going to be. I also love being in the sun, even though it can cause breakouts!

When ever my face needs a little pick-me-up, I always go for my favorite at home face mask! It’s never let me down, and really does refresh and re-energize my skin!

It’s the Aloe Vera Face Spa, with aloe & green tea. You can find it at Walmart or Shoppers Drug Mart type stores in the beauty section.
This mask is Vegetarian certified, and BUAV approved (Cruelty free.)

All you have to do is cleanse (I use the ‘Simple’ face wash or ‘Dove’, apply mask , leave for 5-10 minutes, massage and rinse!

Enjoy! Your face will thank you!
