Cucumber Honeydew Melon Smoothie

We all love summer, but some of us hate the heat and all the sweating involved! Something I love making in summer is refreshing smoothies, and I always try to make healthy ones even though I am chocolate smoothie's #1 fan! If you check out my board Skinny and Healthy drinks you'll see some drinks I've saved that look amazing and aren't hard on our waistline. Today I'd like to talk about one specific one I did the other day and it was amazing! And it was so refreshing! My hubby also loved it, so I am definitely doing this recipe again.

It's called "Cucumber Honeydew Melon Smoothie" by dashofeast. The link from the pin is actually not working now, it was ok before but now it just says: Not found. If you have a link to this recipe please let me know!

Just looking at it makes me want to make it again...right now!

The recipe ingredients I made was:

1 cup frozen honeydew melon cut into small pieces

1/2 cup cucumber cut into small pieces (peeled & seeded)

1 teaspoon of lemon juice

1/4 cup plain yogurt (I used greek yogurt)

1 tablespoon honey

You blend all of that up and you get:

I didn't really sit down and decorate the drink, I just wanted to drink it! This Pin was beyond easy! And if you don't have time to wait for the melon to freeze, then throw in some ice cubes! It's refreshing, yummy, and doesn't have a ton of calories!

Mani Monday: DIY Matte Nails

Matte nails have been in style for quite some time now. I believe it's something that will always be there despite not every single person using it. And you will see some people using it because it does look sophisticated and it does look perfect with some nail styles. When all of the matte nail rave came along you could buy either the nail polish that had a matte finish or you could use one of your favorite shades and apply a matte topcoat when done. However, these options were a bit pricey because everything that is a new trend is always pricey.
