A Day in LA

As you probably know if you've read my older posts, I live in the sunny and beautiful Southern California. I love my home and the communities around it. It's so incredible to me how much of a variety of things and people there are around me. Today for fun, my family and I decided to go on a little day trip to Melrose Ave and The Grove. Here's a little sneak peak of my day.

Melrose Ave

I took this right by my car park and this little boutique is literally the cutest thing in the world.

For lunch we had some delicious rice balls from kawaba rice ball. Incase you were wondering, I ordered a Takana Rice Ball (gluten free and vegan).

As a fan of Justin Bieber, I couldn't resist adding this pic:)

Infused Water Recipe

Being that may has just begun, summer is just around the corner! One of my favorite things to drink on these scorching hot summer days is an infused water. It is guilt-free, super healthy, and it looks so fun and pretty. If you're like me and drink a lot of water but sometimes gets bored of it, but you're still too lazy to try anything crazy this idea will be perfect for you.

All you have to do is grab a jar or cup, add some fruit, citrus, and herbs, and fill it up with water and drink right away or, for more flavor, put it in the fridge and wait at least two hours. 

For this particular on above, I sliced 2 medium strawberries, 2 slices of lemon, and a little mint.

Here are some of my favorite combinations:

strawberry, mint, lemon

orange, cucumber, lime

ginger, blueberry(smash them for more flavor)

honeydew, mint

strawberry, blackberry, basil

watermelon, mint, lime

You can also add an herbal or green tea bag for extra flavor. I love adding camomile tea or peppermint the most.

I hope you guys like this recipe and find it helpful. I love how refreshing and easy it is. Share with your friends, comment below your favorite combinations, and follow me on my instagrams @lemanadee @eliselemans it would make me so happy!
