A Perfect Saturday

For those of you in San Diego, you are well aware of the gnarly heat wave we have been experiencing. Not only has it been too hot to do anything, I'm broke. But that doesn't effect my mood, because if there is one thing that makes me happier than anything, it's sunshine!

On Saturday my friend Kelly came over and we layed out on beach chairs on my front patio. ALL DAY. By Saturday night, we were the perfect shade of golden brown and felt like pampered princesses.

Before Kelly came over, with a 6 pack of beer in one hand and a box of popcicles in the other (that's my girl!) I did a little bit of preparation.

One indulgence that I love that literally costs less than a $1 is Cucumber Water. I prepared this delightfully refreshing beverage first thing in the morning, and when Kelly got there, I poured us each a glass with lots of ice, straws and a lemon slice. You can't drink this delicious luxury - like refreshment in any old plastic cup. That's why I used jumbo plastic wine glasses complete with our own little charms.
