First Glass


Whenever I think of cucumber water, I think back to my first spa experience. I was 16, sitting in the waiting area before my first "real" massage, and was given a glass of cucumber water. I thought it was the most delicious, refreshing thing in the entire world. At the same time, I was amazed by the simplicity of it and the difference such a small change could make to a plain glass of water.


The wonderful feeling of refreshment that surrounded that day has always stuck with me. Its that amazing feeling you get after you finish a gut-wrenching workout. The feeling you get after picking fresh vegetables and herbs from a garden and whipping them into something totally delicious. And the feeling you get when you are putting the fresh flowers you bought on a whim into your car to take home.

And that is how the title of this blog was born. I've been meaning to start a blog for awhile now...I'm getting married in three months and have to confess I'm totally obsessed right now with wedding blogs. But it seems so silly to start one this late, and I honestly enjoy reading about (and totally borrowing) other people's ideas moreso than blogging about my own.

But in the last week, three different people have told me I need some sort of blog or outlet for my ideas/tips/finds. Had to be a sign! I have always had a passion for writing, healthy living, cooking, and guilty pleasure bargain shopping (its not always a bargain but I have ways of justifying!) so that will be the content of this blog - healthy living tips, amazing recipies and all of the guilty shopping pleasures that are just begging to be shared.

So thanks for visiting - I can't wait to get started!
xoxo
