“Me Time” & Peach Moscato Slush

Believe it or not, Summer is actually one of the busiest, craziest times of year for me. Not only do I have to keep up with my regular blogging schedule, Little Crafter is home from school and wants to play all day long. Plus, we have day trips and other activities that I’m involved with that keep me running. I have more to do than usual, and less time in which to do it since my six-year-old sidekick is always around. You may not know this about me if we’ve never met in person, but as much as I enjoy people, I’m actually an introvert. So, this kind of schedule can leave me feeling completely drained at the end of the day. I’ve learned that it’s essential for me to carve out a little bit of “me time” each day so that I can relax and recharge…which in turn makes me a better mom, wife, and blogger.
One of my favorite things to do just for myself is to curl up in one of my new adirondack chairs on the deck with a few good magazines and a drink. If you’ve been following the blog for awhile, you know that I’m interested in fashion, so my indulgences of choice are magazines like PEOPLE StyleWatch® and InStyle®. I love browsing the pages and seeing what the latest trends are, then figuring out how I can incorporate them into my own wardrobe. And after all, it’s my job to stay informed so I can share those tips with you, right? Every time I read a new issue, I come away with at least one new idea for putting together an outfit, a simple hairstyle, or a fun accessory.
I typically pick up my copies while I’m at my local Target…I’m there all the time anyway, and right now you can save 20% off certain titles (PEOPLE®, InStyle®, PEOPLE® StyleWatch, Us Weekly®) using the Target Cartwheel Digital Offer. Also, you can receive 20% off special edition magazines. Both offers are available until 7/10/15 (while supplies last).
Persuing the pages of the magazines is so relaxing, especially with a tasty drink in hand. This is my personal favorite for summer because of how light and refreshing it is, and you only need three ingredients!
Peach Moscato Slush
Ingredients {per drink}:
– 1/2 Cup chilled moscato
– 3/4 C frozen peach slices
– 1 T sugar
Combine moscato, fruit, and sugar in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into glass and garnish with fresh {or thawed} fruit. Serve immediately.
This is one of my absolute favorite drinks for summertime. It’s delicious, light, and fruity, and so easy to make. I also love how simple it is to make just one serving…perfect for my “me time” escapes!
Of course, you can substitute non-alcoholic wine or white grape juice for the moscato to make a version of this treat that everyone can enjoy, since invariably, me-time eventually ends up being “us time.”
What are some of your favorite ways to relax and take some time just for yourself?
Love this recipe as we drink moscato every evening to wind down from the day so we know where your coming from. We now make it quite often as it’s so refreshing . Thank you for the recipe Amy.
