    Giraffe Fun

    Happy Friday! Some fun facts (from bestfunfacts.com) about giraffes that would be cool if true about humans too!

    Strawberry Lemon Infused Water

    If you are like me, you go through the fridge looking for something sugary to eat. Lately, I found a great way to fight this bad habit with a healthier alternative: Fruit-infused water. Some of the high end spas have done this for decades. Great news! No need to go to a high end spa…

    I absolutely love fruit scones! I recently found this gluten-free recipe and it wasn’t bad at all! I really enjoyed making this simple scone. It’s best when eaten fresh out of the oven..it’s nice and warm and yummy! Great with your morning coffee/tea/fruit-infused water. Makes about 8 scones. Ingredients: 1 egg 1/4 cup coconut oil 1/4 cup…
