letter from THE

editor

Happy Spring! Bring on the pink tulips and yellow daffodils – I promised myself that I will have fresh flowers on my kitchen table throughout summer! How about you? What are you going to do for yourself that will awaken your senses, soothe your soul, or just plain feel good? A lot of us have been recovering from winter’s flu, stress from the holidays, or feeling drained from being that lady who is always trying to please everyone else but ourselves. I promise you… if there’s any time to get a fresh start… it is Spring!

Open your windows, close your eyes and inhale the warm breeze of delightful scented flowers that are blooming right outside your windows and welcome spring into your home. Enjoy sipping slowly on a refreshing spring water infused with fresh lemons or limes and before you know it, a smile will appear, and your hopes and dreams will become clearer and seem more reachable.

We all know that most places in the US have been putting our bodies to the test during winter.

Us Midwest girls used to take a trip to Florida to revitalize ourselves. In fact, I never knew what it was like to bring a shovel to work with me to shovel my car out after a day’s work until I lived in Buffalo. I do have to say - it made me tough, but now living in Florida I have realized there is a much more enjoyable solution to recovering from winter right around the corner. Come visit us at the spa and experience our Lavender Limeade massage and body scrub w/aromatherapy followed by sipping on a refreshing Limeade Mojito. This will be a sure cure to the winter blues.

So girls, open your arms to spring, keep your promises that you’ve made to yourself and be the person that you’ve always dreamed you would be!

Stay happy and healthy,

and see you in the summer…

XOXO! Kim

Spring WRITTEN BY: SARAH DELMONTE

Maybe you didn’t stick with your New Year’s Resolution or perhaps gave up chocolate for Lent then ate a whole bowl of Hershey Kisses. Okay that may or may not have been me. It’s fine. It’s spring, a time to start anew.

Known as the season of rejuvenation and regrowth, however, I always think of it as a time for new beginnings and experiences.

The abundance of lush greenery and active wildlife only match the beautiful weather we start to see. If you live in colder environments like me, you can definitely feel the switching of seasons. Sometimes you hear people say they live somewhere because they like “the seasons” and it sounds corny, but it’s true. I could probably do with a few months less of winter, but it’s a pretty amazing thing to see and feel the changes. If it wasn’t for the cold, dreary months, however, my appreciation of spring might not be as high. Once you learn to appreciate what surrounds you, big and small; you become grateful for everything.

As I write this, I have every window open in my house. It’s only 41 degrees out, and I have a hoodie on, but it feels like a perfect day. The sun is beaming through, and I can hear the birds chatting away. I often wonder what they talk about; they’re probably excited that spring is here too. It can be easy to take things for granted, even something as simple as the sun. We all know what it feels like to go a few cloudy days in a row. You aren’t as happy; it’s something about when it’s sunny that makes us smile and feel better. A lot of experts now believe Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is linked more to lack of sunlight than the temperature dropping. The sun is proving to make you emotionally happier; this is why it’s so important just to get outside. With a lot of our jobs, we’re indoors with artificial

lighting, recycled air and sometimes just dirty conditions. Get some fresh air. Spend your breaks outside. On the weekends get out of the malls and off the couch and in the presence of nature. I went for a walk through this gorgeous park last weekend, and it was incredible. I was covered in mud and walked into a couple of branches but was worth all of it. I saw natural rock foundations that would rival the work of Picasso. I heard beautiful melodies from water running off enchanting waterfalls, the types of sounds they sell on CD to help you relax. Save your money and experience it firsthand. It’s important to get outside and immerse yourself in nature.

You may think you can’t appreciate the seasonal changes if you live in a warm climate but you’re wrong. No matter where you live there’s so much to admire. Florida’s weather is pretty amazing year-round but, it gets even better in the spring. Not only do different flowers and animals come about but farmers go to work. A lot of their fruit and vegetable crops start mass producing this time of year. They supply delicious food to the whole country. A simple little change in the season enables them to provide nourishment to millions of people every day. Think about how amazing that is.

Spring is a time to encompass all things new. They’re new challenges, new journeys, and new growth. Enjoy it all and reflect on the changes and appreciate them. There is so much to experience out there that we often take for granted. Once you realize this, it’s a humbling feeling. Leave the last few months behind and don’t think about what we messed up on or what we didn’t accomplish. Instead, use this opportunity to get excited. It’s about new beginnings and embracing all the beautiful changes that surround us.

C O C K TA I L WRITTEN BY: SARAH DELMONTE

We see beautiful flowers and hear melodious songs from birds. We begin to find ourselves and our neighbors outside more. It’s a time to not only enjoy this refreshing change in weather but refreshing cocktails as well. There are a lot of amazing drinks that mysteriously disappear during those winter months but make their comeback now. This cucumber cocktail is one of them. Delicious all year round but perfect for this time of year. It embodies all things spring, even the colors.

1 ½ oz. Skinny Girl Cucumber Vodka 3 oz. Prosecco 1 oz. simple syrup (make with truvia to save calories) 1 tbsp. of seedless cucumber, sliced or finely chopped Juice from half a lime (save the other half for garnishing) Optional: 1/4 cup raspberries Directions: In a cocktail shaker, muddle the chopped cucumber with the lime juice. Add the vodka, simple syrup and a few ice cubes, and shake away. Strain into a glass filled with ice. Top with lime wedges, layer in sliced cucumber and mint leaves. Cheers to spring!

-healthy & freshsalads WRITTEN BY: SARAH DELMONTE

Welcome spring with this healthy and fresh salad that’s bursting with flavor. In the beginning spring months, we start to see new plants and flowers pop out of the ground. Florida has great weather yearround, creating a long and bountiful planting season. Spring, however, is when their crops begin to shine. It’s a beautiful season because it’s a time of regrowth. Embrace it. This salad encompasses all things spring. The fresh herbs and juicy fruit make this unique dish a crowd pleaser. Make one big salad for your family or set up individualized ones in mason jars so that you can see the vibrantly colored layers. They say we eat with our eyes first; well enjoy. The colors and textures of this salad will leave your mouth watering.

This recipe makes four individual salads.

Ingredients 8 oz. sweet basil 1 cup of blueberries 4 peaches ( cut into pieces) 1 cup of crumbled goat cheese 4 tbsp. chopped cashews Layer everything in mason jars and make your dressing.

Citrus Vinaigrette Dressing 3 tbsp. olive oil 3 tbsp. lemon juice 1/2 tsp. freshly grated garlic 1 tbsp. finely diced red onion Whisk together and pour over your salads.

Clean Green WHY

Safe for you and your family | Easy on the pocket | Highly effective | Environmentally friendly

FactS: n Many household cleaners contain toxic chemicals. These chemicals may cause short-term and long-term health problems when you use them. n Children are often more vulnerable to chemical exposure during developmental stages, and certain chemicals may interfere with the development of their neurological, endocrine, and immune systems.

Main routes of exposure: eating, drinking, breathing, and touching. n Younger children have higher respiratory rates than adults, therefore they absorb more air contaminants per unit of weight, meaning they experience a higher inhaled dose. n According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside a typical home is 200–500 percent more polluted than the air outside mainly due to toxic household cleaning products.

Must-Have Basics BAKING SODA: Absorbs and eliminates odor. Use to clean countertops, sinks, and tubs. Sprinkle some baking soda on your carpet and vacuum after 15 minutes for a fresher look and feel.

WHITE VINEGAR: Contains natural anti-fungal and antibacterial properties. Cuts grease and dissolves mineral deposits.

CASTILE SOAP: Lifts dirt, cuts grease, and eliminates tough stains. Pour a small amount over baking sheets and pans then scrub for a few minutes, and you’ll have clean, shiny results.

SALT: Salt is an effective scouring agent. Pour salt mixed with hot water down the kitchen sink regularly to deodorize and keep grease from building up. Mix salt with Lemon essential oil and use to remove stubborn coffee and tea cup stains.

BEST ESSENTIAL OILS FOR CLEANING

Lemon | Lime | Wild Orange | Douglas Fir | Eucalyptus | Melaleuca (Tea Tree) | Thyme | Peppermint Tip: Replace toxic air fresheners with a diffuser.
