Lemon - what a wonderful
fruit!
As soon as I saw these
recipes I had to try them.
I found this recipe for a
beverage, which surely will quench your thirst and at the same time it works as
a diuretic. It also cleanses your body from inside. All this will help you to
lose weight. (Maybe, if you don't eat too much all the goodies.)
For the beverage you'll need
the following ingredients:
2 liter fresh water
1 cucumber
1 lemon
10 leaves of mint
Slice the cucumber and the
lemon and add them with the leaves of mint in a jug. Cover the jug and
refridgerate. The beverage is ready after 8 hours.
Drink a glass of this
beverage in the morning to an empty stomach and it will speed up your
metabolism. There's enough beverage for the whole day and then in the evening
you can make another jug to be enjoyed the next day.
I recommend!
While updating my blog (for
few days) I've done couple of other versions of this recipe. I used blood
orange with lemon and it was tasty too. Now I'm waiting ginger-mango mixture to
get ready. We'll see how it tastes.:)
Another lemony thing is this.
Lemon sugar peeling hassle
I saw this piece of advice on
the internet and as a curious person I wanted to test it. I read many user
experiences and I must say that luckily I did! :) The idea in this thing is
that by using sugar peeling and shaving your legs in turn makes your legs
smooth. YES! Do it right and you'll see
and feel it.
Make the exfoliator first.
You'll need:
2,4 dl white sugar
1,2 dl oil (any oil you use
for cooking will do.) I used olive oil.
3 tbsp lemon juice
A tight jar. A big spoon or
whatever is convienient for ”shoveling” it out of the jar.
Mix these ingredients and
pour it into the jar. I recommend a glass jar which you can close tightly for
later use. This amount will be enough for few times.
You should also have a piece
of soap and a small towel nearby and I recommend to do this for instance in a
basin for the floor will become very slippery. And it's easier to wash it of the basin than
to clean the whole floor.
This is how it goes: Moisten
your legs and shave them ( use some cream or conditioner as a help.) This you
can do anywhere:) Next take with a tablespoon a lump (a size of your palm) of
the exfoliator and rub it into your leg for about 3 minutes. Rinse with water.
At this point it already feels quite smooth. Repeat shaving and don't cheat.
While repeating the shaving stage you need to rinse the blade very often and it pays off to do it thoroughly. After this
peel, rinse and dry your legs (by tapping) again. It seems to me that many of
us will still use some cream or lotion but for me it was quite enough moisture
that was left on my skin. Do not let any water in the jar so that the bugs won't
grow in it. So always use clean and dry spoon or whatever you are using to get
the stuff out.
The result was so silky that
I hardly could resist petting my legs. In addition to silky legs the
circulation in my legs seemed to improve. So I'm definately going to do this
again.
I read that some women peel
their whole body with this exfoliator but then you need to wash the whole floor
again unless you are so lucky that you have your own bathtub.
Joyful peeling and silky skin
to all of you who try this!
