DIY │ How to Make Beergarita's



Hi Everyone!
 
 I am always looking for new cocktails to try out. I recently found a new one you can make ahead. It's perfect for parties and summer BBQ's or a relaxing night with friends - Beergaritas!
 
Similar to a Margarita, this cocktail contains Beer and Tequila together! I know that might sound a little much but when mixed with the other ingredients this cocktail is perfectly balanced in taste.
 
 This was my first time trying a Beergarita and they are absolutely delicious!
 
Thanks to my friend Ms. Dalia for sharing the recipe. Now I will share with ya'll!
 
 
What you will need to made Beergarita's:
 
 Beer (we used Corona)
Tequila
Frozen Limeade concentrate
7-up or Sprite
Salt
Chile con Limon
Ice
Serving pitcher
Wooden spoon
 
Add to serving pitcher one bottle of beer and one frozen Limeade concentrate. Use the empty Limeade container to measure Tequila and 7-up. Add one container full of Tequila and one container full of 7-up. Add ice and stir. To prepare the rim of the cup or glass. Wet the rim of your glass with water or a little lemon juice. Mix salt and the Chile con Limon together on a plate or shallow dish. Place rim of glass in the mixture. Now your ready to pour your Beergarita's, serve and enjoy!
 
 
Beergarita's are sure to be a hit at your next summer get together!
 
 Try them out and let me know what you think!
 
Enjoy!

Hi Everyone!
 
Visited my local Pet Smart today and I always stop by to see the cats they have from the Humane Society ready to be adopted. I just happen to see this cute guy and he just seemed like he would make a really good pet. I would have loved to take him home but I already have 2 cats at home. :( I know this cutie will make somebody a great companion.

June Beauty Favorites

 
 
Hi Everyone!
Welcome To Summer!
I just realized that it has been 6 months since I started my blog! Where has the year gone??? It has really flown by... literally! ;) For June's beauty favorites I have some really awesome products to share with you and I think that you will like them as much as I do :)
 
For my first favorite I have the Beauty Protector Protect & Detangle Spray. I tend to have dry and hard to comb hair especially when its wet so, a little of this spray has really helped with being able to comb through my hair easily after a shower. It also provides heat and color protection and has an amazing vanilla scent. This is a product I really enjoy using everyday. You can purchase this product through +Birchbox  and I believe it cost around $20. It will last you a long time so you find that the price is worth it.
 

 
 
My next June favorite is Color Club Professional Nail Lacquer in London Calling #6024 Wanderlust Collection. I absolutely love this color! After wearing it only one time I had so many complements. I even had a TSA agent at the airport comment on it!  It is a very pale mint green color in the bottle but once its on your nails it looks almost like a neon "highlighter" pen color. It is great color for the summer. You can purchase this at +Birchbox  also. The set includes 4 mini polishes for $8.00.
 
 
 
Another product that I have been really enjoying is the Boscia Self-Defense Vital Antioxidant Moisture with SPF 30. It is a very light weight yet rich with antioxidants to help promote anti-aging. It absorbs quickly and my face does not feel oily afterward. It is a great everyday moisturizer. Some other great things about this product is that it has no sulfates, parabens, alcohol, preservatives, or artificial fragrance. It actually has no scent and I love that!! You can purchase this product at +Sephora for $36.


 
Last but not least... The favorite I have been loving the most this month...
it’s the Sephora Triple Action Cleansing Water. This is a gentle makeup remover for the entire face and it works amazingly! It reminds me of a toner but it’s also a makeup remover! You can use this before you wash your face or after….  I like using after. It really gets every little bit of makeup off and you don’t have to rinse your face afterwards! The formula is gentle on the skin as it is alcohol free and paraben free.  There are other beauty brands with similar cleansing water products that do the same thing but they are much more expensive in price compared to the Sephora brand. This Sephora product is very affordable at $6, $12 or $20 depending on the size. +Sephora 
 
I hope that you all enjoyed my June Beauty Favorites and I would love to hear about what products you have been loving this summer. Let me know by commenting down below :)

It's a photo challenge where I will snapping a photo everyday for one month and posting on my blog.
