a new way to "chill":

Anybody who knows me will tell you that I am ABSOLUTELY not a hot-weather person. I think it's all of this hair. Even when I pull it up into a messy bun, there's just SO much of it. New Jersey gets ridiculously humid and my bangs stick to my forehead and sweat happens and there is nothing fun or attractive about it. It's the worst! However, I do look forward to coming home after an outside shoot or a day at the beach to some delicious fruit-infused water. It's the most refreshing substance on the planet, I am convinced of this! All you need is a pitcher and some fruit. (I like to use frozen fruit so that the fruit will double as ice cubes!) 

Here, I've tried watermelon, raspberries and blueberries, and pineapple, strawberry, and honeydew. Use whatever fruit strikes your fancy! The longer that your fruit sits in the pitcher, the more flavor your water will have. Leave a pitcher in your fridge so it'll be waiting for you when you get home. Be as creative as you can be! I think I want to try cucumbers, lemons, and mint later. Do you have any delicious ideas? Leave them in the comments below, I'd love to try some new combinations!
