Watermelon Sunday

There is so much I love about summer. I love holidays, swimming, picnics in the park, going to the farmers market and all the lovely summer fresh produce. I love watermelon. I could eat it almost every day during the summer and I could never get sick of it. There is nothing better than cutting into a big, juicy, red watermelon. It is the perfect cool-down treat. It's natural, no additives, it's hydrating and slimming for your figure too!

 Katy Perry loves it too!

 And wears it. . .

 Yum. Beautiful watermelon. . .

Now, I'm going to share with you another wonderfully refreshing cocktail recipe which is just perfect for a girly party or a bridal shower.  The Watermelon Gin Fizz.  It's so lovely light pink and tasty.
