Minty!
To ring in recent birthday s, I was all about ordering up mojitos
Passionfruit Mojito topped with Cocktail Fruit from La Canela Peruvian Restaurant
First, to celebrate my Tita Fe Passionfruit Mojito at the Peruvian restaurant ~ thanks to my cousin & her hubby!
Then I enjoyed a refreshing Frozen Blueberry Mojito at my own Bday Brunch from Miguel’s Mex Tex Café (Mex intentionally before Tex)!
Most recently, I toasted to my cousin’s birthday with this Twisted Madre Mango Margarita ~ another special from Miguel’s Agave Bar!
Twisted Madre : Frozen Margarita swirled with Mango Flavor topped with Lime and dressed with Chile Salt on the Sim from Miguel’s Mex Tex Café
S is for …
Freebie for my Bday : Mocha Coconut Hazelnut Frappé
More Sweet Treats … this time without spirits:
Starbucks Birthday Rewards
First, from my research university before my BiG #-#: Hazelnut topped with Coconut
Next, from our busiest local coffee shop: the new Blackberries & Creme Frappuccino
Blessed with Rest (sort of) on my Bday … Real quick before I get back into it!

H2O 🌊hydration is essential for our healthy lifestyles above anything else that our 🚹body🚺 consumes. We especially crave it during this 🌅summer🌞 💥heat !
I call this 🌠Star🌌 Water (after my mother ‘s first name ~ Estrella ~ which means “star”) that calls for: 💧Water💦 Fresh slices of the following: cucumber * lemon🍋 ginger🍈 * mint leaves 🌿 honey🍯 added ~ but it’s optional for sweetness [I prefer none to savor the tangy taste])
My mom , the retired Registered Nurse😷 after almost 4-1/2 decades, has been mixing up this cool concoction that offers a wealth💸 of physical health benefits, including ingredients in her cold medicine💊 when I lost my voice last spring🍀 & my hangover solutions + another from Lisa LMT ‘s post-massage💆🏻 🍹cocktail🍸 …
Cheers to Mami Aya

Once I kicked👟 my dissertation📖 work into high gear transitioning from July into August, I’ve actually resisted turning away from my work💼 after several-hours⌚️ worth of “shifts” lately!
🎓Scholar Mode = In-the-Zone🌟
But to prevent myself from 🍳frying⚡️ my 💡brain💭 from dozens of hours⏰ in front of my 💻computer ~ executing💥 my challenges while exercising my 💪🏽strengths:
I had to ❤️break💔 away for a bit …
Especially since last night offered my 🌼summer🌻 📺shows !
Complete combo with this 🚢Captain’s⚓️ 🍹cocktail🍸
Beachy SceneMyrtle Beach Iced Tea (as opposed to Long Island ) that calls for Arnold Palmer (tea & lemonade named for the golfer) spiked w/your spirit(s) of choice ~ mine was Midori and green color ~ + a cherry on top … Or to sink this ship! 🌊🌴🍹🍋🍈🍒⚓️🚢
That can be served ❄️chilled🍧 and 🍉chunky🍌
Peachy Keen : Other fruit to add to the mix (sweet if they swim in the drink while you sip): peaches * pineapple * strawberries 🍑🍍🍓🍒🍹
🍺Cheers🍻 to this 😅chillaxation😜 😴Getaway💤
