ED BLOG: Mini Vacay Relaxtion Recipe

 
Last week I took a mini vacay to say hi to my family and buh-bye to summer. While I was gone, I came up with a new relaxation recipe:
 
START WITH FAB FRIENDS        
When I’m with the people I heart, what we’re doing is totally secondary. I hung out in my friends’ backyards and we chatted for hours. When I got bored, I tried to…
 
ADD A BUNCH OF FUN ‘N’ FREE STUFF
I’m trying to save cash, so my bro and I broke out the games, big time: Bocce, paddleball, Wiffle ball, the works. We had a volleyball tourney with a bunch of friends, too. Another amazing freebie? Running!
 
THROW IN A DASH OF CREATIVITY
I whipped up smoothies one day for a post-beach cool-down. My fam weighed in and I jotted down the final recipe (Sunset Smoothies: 3/4 cup frozen pineapple, 1/4 cup each frozen banana and strawberries, 1/4 cup O.J. and 1/4 cup vanilla yogurt). Play around with your faves, write the recipe on cards and send it out to friends and fam as a sweet pick-me-up.
 
Plus, I’ve been filling out this funky journal. It gives you wacky multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank options about your day.

My vacay…
a.)  was filled with laughs  b.) cost less than $10  c.) will keep me smilin’ for weeks or d.) all of the above!
 
The answer is pretty obvious, right? What a blast!
 
Healthy hearts,
Katie A.

 
Blog it out...What’s your recipe for relaxing? Are you doing anything fun on Labor Day? What kind of smoothies do you love?

I'm not sure if I'm going camping on Labor Day, but if I'm not, I'll probably get my friends together that aren't leaving town for the weekend and have a mini vacation together! This article gives some great ideas!

MOD MOD MOD!!! i want to ask this person out this year. Any tips




Hey girl, the best way to do it is to give him some signs you're interested in him. Flirt a bit. If you're getting good signals, causally suggest you hang out and see how he reacts. Yes? There could be something there. No? Step back but no worries! There's tons of other guys out there just waiting for you to find them!
