Infused Water with Square by Clean Bottle

I just started getting into drinking infused waters because my Square by Clean Water makes it easy to infuse fruits and leafy greens in the water bottle itself and take it on the go. I originally received my Square bottle as apart of a #Blogchella Survival kit to keep hydrated during the festival weekend; the bottle came with the infuser and a purifier module in case I needed to filter water.

I really enjoy using this bottle because of it's versatility and functionality, as well as it's bright pink color, you can see the other colors available here. Infused waters not only make your water look pretty and taste delicious, it's has many health benefits and cleansing and detoxifying properties.

I tried a few different infused waters which you can see below. If you drink the water immediately after adding the fruit or greens, the flavors won't be very prominent. I left most of my infused waters in the fridge overnight and the next morning the waters were so infused with the contents that it almost tasted like I was drinking fruit juice; it also tasted very fresh. Read about the benefits of the fruits and leafy greens that I used:

• Oranges- aid in blood circulation, lowers cholesterol, boosts heart health and can provide a burst of energy
• Strawberries- is a superfood, packed with antioxidants that promote eye health, reduce joint inflammation, and boosts immunity
• Lemons-decreases wrinkles and blemishes, blood purifier, balances pH, and relieves respiratory problems
• Cucumbers- good source of B vitamins and electrolytes, has anti-inflammatory properties (which is why people put cucumber slices on their eyes), and re-hydrates the body
• Mint- promotes digestion and alleviates stomach issues by activating salivary glands and digestive enzymes
• Pineapple- aid in lowering blood pressure, promotes regularity in digestive tract, filled with potassium, fiber and Vitamin C which promote heart health

Have you made or tried infused waters? If so, what were your fave combos or what do you want to try next?

Triple Thread OC Tiger Top and Levi's Boyfriend Jeans

I just started a partnership with OC-based boutique, Triple Thread OC, and was excited to receive my first bundle of items last week which included this amazing tiger-printed top (which is so ridiculously velvet-y soft). As apart of a blazer & jeans story I'm currently writing for eHOW, I styled the blazer and top with a pair of my all-time favorite boyfriend cut jeans, the Levi's 501 CT in Torn Indigo (which I had received in my #BLOGCHELLA Survival Kit) and a classic pair of high-top Converse Chucks.

Blue Tie Dye Dress for Coachella Parties

When I attended Coachella day parties last Saturday during Weekend 1, I was excited to get to rock this PJ Salvage Tie-Dye Dress as it is quite fitting for the Coachella style. I received it as apart of my #Blogchella Survival Kit and the dress was very breezy, comfy, and I didn't own anything like it before. I styled the dress with camel colored sandals, mint sunnies, and a statement zinc necklace. The photos were taken at one of my fave hotels, The Saguaro in Palm Springs; I just swoon over all the colorful places in and around the hotel. Also, have you noticed that my hair is a different color? I recently had it dyed blue by Casie of Conway Grooming and I can't wait to share that experience with you; we also have some amazing hair tutorials coming your way! See details on this look below:
