Watermelon agua fresca

 
Cool off this Cinco de Mayo with a beverage that’s super popular in Mexico as well as Central America and the Caribbean. Agua fresca (or water refreshments) is a traditional sip that’s typically made with fruits found locally. Now that watermelon has hit farmer’s markets and grocery stores, we can’t wait to try this riff on a classic recipe.

 

Ingredients:

1 cup finely cut watermelon

7 cups coarsely chopped watermelon

6 cups watermelon juice

1/2 cup sugar

1 large lime, juiced

 

Directions:

Combine all ingredients in a large serving pitcher and stir to mix well. Garnish with watermelon wedges and mint and serve over ice in tumblers, mason jars or margarita glasses for a festive effect.

ok so my hands get super sweaty! im in a play for school and i have to hold a guy's hand but my hands get all sweaty so i pull my sweatshirt sleave over my hand during practice, but i dont know what to do for the play, also we have a jr high dance coming up and when i have my hands on a guy's shoulders, they still get all sweaty!! my mom says it is part of puberty but that there is something i can do to make it stop for a little bit. do you know what i culd do? thanks!! oh and im noty nervous or stressed or anything, and it also happens when we hold hands in church and stuff, so its not being nervous about guys or anything! thanks!!




Hey babe,

Check out this article about sweaty hands. Turns out, this is TOTALLY normal! The best thing to do is calm down, because stressing out can cause us to sweat more - even if you're not stressed about holding hands - you're thinking about the sweat and worrying about it, so it works you up. Take deep breaths and, if you have questions about the sweat (if it's getting to be REALLY bad), ask your doctor Smile

I have a period sitch:/ my mom won't let me wear tamponsFrown its my 4th period and it's swimming season:/ Also in August I have a cruise,That goes to the beach:/ she said I can't swim when I'm on my period(since I "can't" wear tampons) any help to how to get her to let me? I'm 12 years old she says she wants to wait till I'm older but its MY body!!!! She said she wants to do a little research but I bet you she forgot about it:/ also I have to show pigs and it feels like I wet my pants especially when it squirts out:/ any ideas?




Hey Girlie,

There's no "right" age to wear a tampon! You should sit down with your mom and tell her exactly what you just told me: That it is YOUR body and that you want to swim and avoid embarrassing moments when something leaks! Sometimes parents want to hold on to the idea that their little girl is always going to be that little girl... But you are growing up and the fact that you have your period is a sign that you're turning into a women! Maybe you both can go see a doc and talk about the situation! I'm sure a doc can take your mom's worries! Hope this helps Smile
