Stormy days CAN be fun. [ :) ]

This picture was a blast to do! It just seemed so appropriate. Don't fly away Cydne!

Stormy Days

Today's photo shoot went pleasantly well. The dark stormy sky contrasted with the ocean's beautiful blues and greens creating marvelous composition within the photographs. I have done a few, and cannot wait to do more.

More to come!

Music

Reading my daily news stories for the day, I came across something extremely beneficial. Music, in all forms, whether it be playing your favorite instrument, humming your favorite tune, or blasting your speakers in your car, music has been proven to reduce stress and release chemicals which prove to protect the heart. Studies show that listening to a new hip song that you like can open up blood vessels and pump blood easily throughout the body, which in the end may in fact prevent aging. Although this seems flawless, they also found that listening to the same song over and over again does not have the same effect. Studies have also shown that listening to a type of music you dislike, will actually counteract the lively and beneficial effects of a song you enjoy, and in the end causing you to be stressed.

So the next time you find yourself conflicted in road rage, or your having an over all stressful day, find a favorite tune and dance around. Find your health in music.

(Favorite Tune at the moment-All American Rejects-Gives you Hell)

Fun in the Sun

Me and Gianna wanted to take pictures, and the sun was pretty much perfect. We had to hurry because it was going down, but I got to play with fun orange colors, sun rays, and lens flare. Heres a couple of pictures, with just a little touch up, nothing major. Enjoy!

Bruschetta Burgers

Last night after getting back from the long drive, we stopped at our friend Evan's place for a little dinner. He happened to pick up this recipe book called "Building Better Burgers", and it has all of these award winning recipes for 'better burgers'. The one last night that we made was the Bruschetta Burger, and to my surprise was not hard to make at all. We followed a very simply recipe for Bruschetta, mixed the ground beef with spices, onions, and Gorgonzola cheese, topped it off with ham, and placed it in the middle of toasted french bread. It was a mouth watering experience to say the least, and even more enjoyable when you know its fresh. If you are interested in recipes like this one, or just love burgers, I suggest picking up this book!

Happy Eating!

Simply for your Eyes' Enjoyment

This weekend me and Tommy went to Orlando to visit my sister and her husband. Most of our time was spent at Disney riding roller coasters, so the only things I got to capture was her turtle Skulmon who will live to be over 100 years old! And a little spider.

Haha!

Lemonhead

Summer time brings about cravings of the sun, the beach, and specialty drinks like lemonade. I've come across a way to make fresh, single serving lemonade that anyone can enjoy, and I'd like to share it with all of you!

Start with one whole lemon and cut it into eighths.

Next, take all the pieces of the lemon, toss them into a glass, and begin to muddle. (If you don't have a muddle, a big spoon works just as well).


After muddling all the lemon juice out, add about 3 tablespoons of sugar (add more or less depending on how sweet or tart you prefer it), and also add ice and water to the very top of the glass.

Lastly, poor your mixture into a shaker, and shake vigorously. (This enables it to become cold as well as helping the sugar to dissolve).

Now Serve!

Its fast and easy to enjoy! Try it out!

Happy sipping!

Love,
Kèra
