If you’re anything like me, you’re always searching for the perfect drink that is low in calories and sugar yet tastes great. Don’t get me wrong, I love water but sometimes I want something with some flavor (that doesn’t taste like chemicals). I have a new obsession that I call “lite lemonade”.
Fill up a glass or water bottle with water. I recommend the Starbucks Venti To-Go Tumbler with a straw (I find that a straw always makes me drink more). Add a splash or two of Santa Cruz Organic Pure Lemon Juice. Stir in an all-natural sweetener like Truvia (in my opinion, it’s the best on the market).
It’s easy to make, refreshing, tastes great and is good for you. You can’t get much better than that! Enjoy.

Check out the TruLemmon/orange/lime/grapefruit products. I found them at my local natural grocer, and got hooked. I now buy them in bulk, online. :) The natural fruit essences dissolve in water and taste great. And the regular lemonade and raspberry lemonade are sweetened with stevia as well. Wonderful! I like a huge bottle of water with the lemonade, with an extra packet of orange. Yum!!

It’s funny, but my friend and I have always done this at restaurants! We were always trying to save money, so we’d ask for a glass of ice water with a wedge or two of lemon, and then squeeze it into the glass, add a packet of equal (this was pre-Truvia days…) and, voila!… “Lemonade!”

Bobbi,
First off, let me say that I really love that your makeup is so natural and your models look so pretty and natural. It’s just the kind of make up that most women want to have, natural and radiant. Having said that, I want to give some
sincere and honest Criticism about your book. I just finished reading the Makeup Manual. I was very disappointed that when discussing women from different races, that the book always portrayed a “Chinese” or an East Asian looking woman when talking about the Asian Race. You have to understand that the term Asians is being used very loosely and as an Indian woman myself; I am an “Asian” too, albeit a South Asian. I think I speak for many Indian women when I say that finding good looking natural makeup is very tough for our skin tone. We have a lot of pigmentation and uneven skin tone that many foundations do not target. They are either too yellow or too pink. Till date I haven’t found a perfect foundation and concealer match for my skin tone. Every time I go to a makeup counter I am either slammed on the face with a foundation that looks too light or something too dark and orange meant for African American women. I think you have the potential to address this and I really feel you should. It’s a HUGE market potential. I would like you to do a makeup tutorial on Indian women that is of medium color with uneven skin tone.
Secondly, in your book you have a chapter for a 10 step makeup lesson. However, between Step 4 to step 6 the model is magically wearing an eyeliner and step 7 she has no eyeliner again. The actual step for eyeliner comes only at Step 9. I don’t how your editing team didn’t catch that. In my eyes it’s a big mistake when you say its makeup lesson for beginners and somehow you/your team confuse the steps.
Thanks

Excellent idea, Bobbi! I find that I am drinking more water at work now that my office has a water filter and an ice machine. Like you, I love lemon, so this will be a nice reminder to drink “Lite Lemonade” instead of a Diet Coke. And you’re spot-on about TruVia (it’s much healthier and easier for your body to process and digest than nearly all non-sugar sweeteners).
