Sassy Water

After a recent visit to the Student Health Center, and a astonishing revelation on the scale- it's been decided that I'm going on a diet. My favorite part of this diet, Sassy Water!

Sassy Water
2 liters water
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1 medium cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium lemon, thinly sliced
12 small spearmint leaves

Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher and let flavors blend overnight. Drink the entire pitcher by the end of each day.
(Eat the cucumber after emptying the pitcher. You can even use the cold pieces on your eyes to reduce puffiness.)


Attempting an olive oil hair masque. (Looks odd, but it worked)

Another recent obsession of mine is OLIVE OIL. One of my friends suggested shaving my legs with it instead of using shaving cream, and it changed my life. Go now- go to your kitchen, grab some olive oil and GET IN THE SHOWER! I'm not kidding. My legs have been smooth for three straight days. They are normally smooth for three hours. After that revelation, I googled other options, and I learned of olive oil's other magic properties. After going down the list of things olive oil can do for you, I decided to try it on my head- and.... ABRA KADABRA- smooth, shiny hair!!! I'm not normally a hair masque, face masque sort of girl, but this was great! I may just become obsessed.

Olive Oil Hair Masque
4 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Eggs

Whip them together and rub into hair.
Cover with saran wrap (or plastic bag) and let sit for 30 minutes.
Wash out thoroughly with shampoo.

2010 has already taught me many things...
I'll keep you updated on how the diet is going.
