Did you know Valentine’s Day marks the biggest sales for flowers and chocolate? It’s true! The Society of American Florists say 71% of flowers given on Valentine’s Day are roses, and 196 million roses are grown solely for this holiday!

That’s just roses, think about all the other flowers, chocolate and cards that go with it! Valentine’s Day is now an $18 billion dollar industry, and its growth continues each and every year!

This Valentine’s Day, surprise your loved one with organic chocolate, and fresh handpicked flowers instead of stopping by your local grocer. Try thinking outside the box this year and get something unrelated to the typical gifts…you will love the reaction!

This time of year is a favorite among children, and even adults! Halloween is known for fun, creative costumes, and of course candy! Trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle for not only yourself, but also your family can be hard at this time of the year. Try to steer away from all the candy by offering these options:

• Caramel apples
• Roasted pumpkin seeds
• Organic dark chocolate
• Halloween themed organic granola bars
• Orange organic jello

When the time comes tomorrow to hand out your treats to the neighbor children, remember their parents may live a healthy lifestyle as well. Try to give out non-food related items that are fun to play with rather than candy.

• Temporary tattoos
• Stickers
• Pencils
• Erasers
• Bubbles
• Play vampire teeth

I hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday and a Happy Halloween!

It truly is the simple things in life that provide us with some of our happiest moments. One experience I always look forward to is relaxing under the sun with my favorite iced drink, the margarita!

The only problem with ordering margaritas while your out is they are filled with sugar and random chemicals. Making it homemade is the way to go!

I wanted to share this awesome recipe for you to try the next time you want to relax under the sun with a delicious and organically made drink!

• 1.5 ounces of tequila (4 Copas makes organic tequila)
• ½ ounce of pure organic acai
• ¾ ounce of organic agave nectar
• ½ ounce of organic egg white
• 1 organic lime, squeezed

Shake until the outside of your shaker is lightly frosted, then strain into your glass and enjoy!
