Blue Green Smoothie


Just in! Green stone necklace and purple stone necklace with magnetic clasp and matching earrings on sterling ear wires. Necklace $18.00 and earrings $10.00

I got a lot of positive responses from my juice blog a bit ago, so I thought I would add a new smoothie for you to try. I call it my Blue-Green smoothie because it has blueberries and....hold on...SPINACH in it. Yum!

Here is the (kid friendly) recipe:

Juice of 2 valencia oranges and 1 lemon (fresh juice is best)

1 frozen banana (doesn't have to be frozen, but it does give it that slushy frozen effect)

1/2 Cup frozen blueberries (or fresh)

handful of baby spinach

a squeeze of flax oil

Blend this all in a blender and pour into a pretty glass to have for breakfast, or a snack or even dessert! In fact, this could be dinner on a hot day! BTW, to make really good smoothies you’ll need a really good blender. I use and recommend the Vita Mix.

Speaking of blues and greens...You can apply almost any mineral to any part of your face; this multi purpose feature is the beauty and flexibility of mineral makeup. However, blues and greens are regulated to your eyes only.



Now, I have, what I think is good news on the Mineral Makeup front.



As you know, I believe the "Affordable Mineral Makeup" to be one of the finest products you can use on your skin. I also appreciate the fact that the company is very eco-friendly.

However, I have been personally challenged by how the reps are treated in the company. For the past few months I have been researching to see what else is out there that would give us the same quality ingredients and wide range of color selections.

Well, I have found it! Drum roll please.....

Introducing DASH Natural Mineral Makeup!

Not only is the line the same quality that I have come to expect from the first line, but they have other great features as well.There is a more extensive lip color line, a Skin Care line with high quality ingredients (I am very excited about this), and what's more....their pricing is much better! Dash Natural Mineral Makeup is truly the AFFORDABLE Mineral Makeup. You get a lot more minerals for you money. Plus, they are so friendly! We all win!

And really, not only do we need to remove toxic ingredients from our products, we need to remove them for our emotional life's as well. Don't you agree?

I am no longer offering the old line of makeup. As much as I loved it, and still feel the product itself is excellent, I have not loved the company behind it. If you bought from me before, please know that if you want to continue to use the products you have, I will support you in that. However, I will be offering the new line of DASH Natural Minerals "You only need a little Dash" from this point on. I have a few other surprises as well, so don't go anywhere ;-)

When you are ready to make your next makeup purchase, let me know. I am excited to show you what DASH has to offer. Please call or email me so you can come to see the minerals in person. You always have the option of ordering online, but I am happy to show you live and in person the products. It just so much easier that way, as well as more fun! Plus, you will get to see the latest jewelry that I showcase. There are ALWAYS new designs coming in.

And there is more news...I have been VERY busy. Another drum roll please......

To go along with the new line of makeup....Also introducing....the new Style Essentials website
