I cannot believe Mothers Day is almost here! If you are like me, you’re wondering what the heck happened to April! Well honestly, I’m not really sure where it went because it happened so fast.
Here at Element Style, the owner, Carrie, has been the most incredible work mom that I have ever had. So I want to start out this post by giving her a HUGE thank you. Thank you for your continued support and your kindness throughout these past four years that I have been fortunate enough to be a part of this incredible ES family.
And now I want to thank all you Moms out there that are reading this. Without all of you, this store would not be possible. We are so grateful for all of your support that you have given us over the past years and for your continued support during this time. Since we still cannot celebrate with you in person, I came up with a different type of gift for this year.
I wanted to share some easy drink recipes that are healthy and delicious! Whenever I make myself a smoothie or shake in the morning, I am always more productive than when I don’t. Being stuck in quarantine, these drinks also boost my mood so much and I am so much happier drinking these.
My first one is one that I have been drinking every day since I first tried it because it is so healthy and tastes amazing. Do any of you like Rocky Road Ice Cream? Well this Almond Chocolate Shake tastes just like Rocky Road to me! (without the marshmallows and with way less calories).
Almond milk is a skin-friendly alternative to dairy since it is packed with nutrients that work harder for your skin than a dairy milk does. It is low in fat but is very high in protein and fatty acids that give you energy. The almond milk I used for my drinks was an organic brand so that I steered clear of unnecessary added sweeteners.
The second drink is one I made up a few summers ago. It has only three ingredients! Watermelon, pineapple, and orange juice!
Watermelon is full of water and contains skin-feeding nutrients, which is great for replenishing and rehydrating your body and your skin. During summer, it is especially important to eat your water so that your body is staying hydrated all day. Fun Fact: watermelon contains vitamins A and C which gives the skin exactly what it needs to give off a radient and youthful glow, thanks to its collagen-boosting properties. The lycopene in the fruit also protects our sun from UV damage. What all that means is that watermelon is a must for summer!!
Orange juice is packed with vitamin C which strengthens the immune system, and can have calcium to strengthen teeth and bones.
This recipe is going to make you feel great and look great, while also tasting amazing.
I hope all of you are still doing great, whether you are in quarantine or whether you are working during these challenges time. The good news is, we are finally starting to see an end to all of this! Hopefully soon we can all celebrate and reopen the store!
Until then, make sure to tune into our Facebook Live Shopping Events on Monday and Wednesday nights at 7 pm.
We love you all so much and cannot wait to see your beautiful faces in the store.
Much Love from your ES Girl,
Lys
