Fun· My Life

4 Jul

Hello! Happy 4th of July!!

america rocks america

I’m running and then heading to a BBQ. I’m pretty excited to hang out by the pool (drink in hand) and just relax with my peeps. That’s what summer is all about right?

Now it’s time to dance.

So, before I head over to the festivities here are two of my favorite skinny cocktail recipes –

Skinny Watermelon Margarita

    I love your Skinny Paloma-I made it today! This skinny coconut mojito is good too: http://www.breathedeeplyandsmile.com/2013/05/friday-favorites.html

    I had a lot of water and some beer. I’m solo today so I wasn’t feeling terribly ambitious drink-wise.

    I’m sticking to water with fun stuff thrown in like berries and lemon slices. Maybe throw in a Nuun if I’m feeling feisty later (i.e. hot and dehydrated). Hooray for being in the “family way”! And as soon as I can, I’m doing that watermelon margarita. It would be a crime not to!

    Congratulations America and a Happy independence day Monica. Your site has a unique title “runeatrepeat”. That is my first visit on your site. I liked the pictures especially the one after pink shoes in which you said its time to dance.
    A good blog I must say… Thanks.

    There might be a Caipirinha (official cocktail of Brazil) in my future as we watch the Brazil v. Columbia soccer, er futbol match. :o)

    I’m making my famous Skinny Sangria, which has been marinating since last night! The best part is all the boozy fruit! 🙂

    I always stick to beer when drinking all day at the lake. Safer that way. 🙂 Watermelon margaritas sound wonderful though!!

    I love skinny margs. I’m actually a beer girl, but a marg is nice when it’s so hot. I posted a Blueberry Mint Spritzer today. http://theskinny-life.com/4th-july-healthy-recipes/

    Definitely water. But I am going to a BBQ later and she never let’s us down. Sometimes Jell-O shots. Sometimes good old fashioned piña coladas. 🙂
