Summertime (Wineless) Sangria



We all know that I love a good Sangria, but sometimes, due to my migraines and not being a total wino, I just want something wine free that is also light and summery.  Nicole sent me this recipe from  Kate at the Small Things blog and we decided we should try it.  It is so delicious and perfect for summer on by the pool!  Of course, if you aren't feeling the no alcohol idea, you can substitute the cranberry Ginger Ale for Prosecco or Champagne and doe cranberry juice. 

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Country Time Lemonade Mix
  • 1 liter (about half the big bottle) Cranberry Ginger Ale
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 oranges, sliced
  • 2 limes, sliced
  • 5-8 strawberries, sliced


                                Directions 

  • Layer sliced, fresh fruit on the bottom of a pitcher.




  • Add the lemonade mix.
  • Pour orange juice and lime juice over top of that.
  • When ready to serve, pour cranberry ginger ale into the pitcher, stirring as you pour.  
  • Let the drink sit for about 30 minutes to let the lemonade mix dissolve and the flavors come together.

Fab Friday Fives 6.8.18

Happy Friday everyone!  Its been a couple weeks again, but hey, its almost summer! I've been enjoying the weather and the time is flying.  Josh is still on nights, its been about 3 weeks now.  That seems to make time go faster too.  It looks like our time in finally coming to an end here in Waldorf, we gave our notice for our apartment for the end of July!  We really don't know what the future holds but we are looking forward to another adventure.  Everyone have a great weekend! 




I got my hair done while I was at the house last week and I love it!  Its finally the icy, ash blonde I have been wanting for ages.  Thanks to Serena at Pearl at Sola! 


I haven't gotten a FabFitFun box for a while, but I was super excited that I found a coupon code to get this summer box.  It has some stuff in it I love! Has anyone seen or tried out the Foreo?  It's a little device that can tell you how hydrated your skin is, as well as your skin age and how your should be cleansing and moisturizing and it also has a scrubby vibrating side that helps you cleanse properly.  So cool!  I also LOVE Coola face sunscreen.  Everything else in the box really is great too, including the environmentally friendly straw that isn't in the picture because I didn't find it until after I had taken the picture.  If anyone is interested in getting a FabFitFun box, use this code http://xo.fff.me/jboac to get $10 off your first box.


I rarely buy ice cream for Josh and I as I don't actually love ice cream but I had a coupon for Ben & Jerry's and bought us a pint.  This is the best flavor of hard ice cream that I have every had!  Like an oatmeal cookie in cream with some chunks of chocolate for good measure.
A couple months ago I signed up to be s Dave's Killer Bread "Breadhead" (like a brand rep). I got my swag the other day and it was pretty cool.  A bunch of coupons for free bread, a toque, a bunch of hilarious greeting cards and bumper sticker. Eat Dave's Killer Bread! 



Josh and I went to see Jake Owen and Chris Janson at Calvert Marine Museum last week and like last year it was a great show.  This is a small really cool venue at an even cooler museum, if you ever get a chance to check it out.
