Happy Almost Labor Day

We have been encouraging you to enjoy more health conscience choices for better living and improved health, but what do you do on holiday weekends when food will be plentiful, but most of it will not be considered healthy?

Tips:

• Don't skip the event! Being with people and chatting and talking with them is so important to our overall health and wellness.  
• Instead eat something healthy before hand so that you do not eat as much of the less healthy food at the party or event.  
• Bring something you know you will enjoy and that others can enjoy.  Whole grain salads, Fruit Salads, or veggie salads are great options to share with others. 
• Smaller portions- for some of us the desire in our minds can overwhelm our tummy's ability to stretch and when we finally give in we binge.  So take a small spoonful of everything and sample it all. 

We hope you have a wonderful weekend and remember that Radiance Spa is here for your pre-event or post-event pampering.  Please look forward to our future series outlining some of the party options you can plan at Radiance Spa! And if you are going to be out in the sun, stop by and pick up some Coola Sunscreen. 

Now time for a recipe!  I would probably have the cilantro on the side as so many people dislike it, but check out the link as there are lots of pictures.
