WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS…

I’m back behind my desk at Amayzine.com. My thoughts frequently running back to the Côte D’Azur where I was last week. Every morning I’d order a citron pressé (water with fresh lemon juice), no place better to drink this than in France. Opinions differ to whether it’s considered healthy or not, some bloggers say it’s not so healthy for your body but I can tell you; works great for me. I’m a lemon fan because there’s no end to things you can do with them; I’ll give you 5 examples to try; varying from household tips with lemon to lemony food and drink.

Beachy blonde? Squeeze some lemon in your hair and you whisks and you’ll go blonde.  If it’s healthy for your hair is a totally different story, but it works. Do watch out for lemon juice the sun and your skin. Once while on a tropical island I spilt lemon juice on my leg and immediately burnt my skin. Blisters and all I still have the scar to prove it.

I really hate standing under a shower with a miserable spout. I’m rather poor at cleaning bathrooms. Don’t know I just think it stinks, but what I do to keep my showerhead clean is hang it in a bowl of lemon juice to clean off the lime the moment the holes start clogging up. Seriously works a charm.

Another quirky tip is when your fridge smells a little off. Put a cup of lemon juice in and all bad odors will disappear.

You can make delicious lemonade. Mix some Agave syrup with water, add a tray of ice cubes and you’re done. Throw in some slices of lemon, a sprig of mint a cute straw and you have a wonderful summery drink.

Put some lemon juice into an ice cube tray and freeze. Cute an nice in a glass of water at dinner.
