Reliant Stadium Pictures

Starbucks in Houston on Main

Near the Reliant Stadium, is this Starbucks. Not the safest or quickest one, it still isn't half bad for meeting people in this area for meetings especially if you don't want them at your home.
Lots of Rice and UH students can be seen studying inside. The drive through isn't very efficient and is small and cramped in the back of the store. Not great planning.

Getting my first Pumpkin Spiced Latte of the season!

IHOP Sugar Land

IHOP in Sugar Land is one of my favorite breakfast spot. It has a good wait staff, and my food always comes quickly. If you go between 3-6pm seniors eat cheaply. Great deal!

Kids love their kids meals and I am sure yours will too. They always have a special. This month's is Peach French Toast. I can't wait to try it. Yum!!!

Epsom Salts Detox Bath

Epsom salts remove toxins from our bodies. The best way to use them for this purpose is by soaking in a hot bath with 2 cups of Epsom salts.

Add your favorite essential oils including lavender, tea tree oil, or spearmint to add to your relaxation and enjoyment.

Lavender- calms and induces sleep
Tea Tree oil- helps detox the body when used in hot water
Spearmint-Awakens the senses

Soak between 20-40 minutes for the best detox results.

Drink plenty of water during and after your Epsom Salts detox to help remove toxins.

Enjoy!

Apple Store Discounts Chargers For I Phones

Do you use a fake I Phone charger like the ones at Academy or Walgreens?? Be careful. They can spark when heated and start fires.

After a woman's death in China this past August, Mac is offering a special offer to I Phone customers. If they return their fake charger to Mac, then they will give you one of their real I Phone chargers for only $10. These are regularly $30.

Fulshear Soaps At Imperial Farmer's Market

Dear Readers,
This morning I spoke with a friendly woman named Lisa who with her husband owns Fulshear Soaps. I am in LOVE with her products. My favorite soaps thus far are Lavender and Lilac.

Lisa told me she also has a men's line with more manly scents. Perfect for the men in your home. I look forward to purchasing these soaps for holidays gifts this upcoming December.

Every purchase gets a free real loofah sponge!

Please check out Fulshear Soaps at the Imperial Farmer's Market in Sugar Land, TX outside of Houston.

Thai Iced Coffee Recipe


Hi Readers,


Good morning to you all! If you are like me, you are trying to cut back on the money you spend at pricey coffee shops like Starbucks. It can easily and quickly add up to $50.00 a week.


I enjoy Thai Iced Coffee when I eat out at local Thai restaurants in Houston, Texas. I decided last Sunday night to make homemade Thai Iced Coffee. It tasted wonderful. Every morning I poured some of the Thai Iced Coffee into a coffee cup with a little ice and drank it on the way to work.


The Recipe for Thai Iced Coffee-

8 cups cold brewed coffee-I recommend Starbucks Pike
1 16 oz. can of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk
A large pitcher
A long spoon
Ice
Coffee Cup
Foil


Pour the coffee into the pitcher. Put the condensed milk in the pitcher after the coffee. Stir for at least a minute. Cover with foil. Let sit over night.

In the morning, pour into a coffee mug or cup. Cover back with foil. Use within 5 days. Enjoy my coffee lover readers.

Best,
K Lukes

Using Ginger to Cure Inflammation

Good morning Readers,
I learned earlier today that Ginger is a wonderful and natural way to relieve inflammation in the human body. Experts on ginger recommend boiling a cut up piece of ginger in a quart of water to make Ginger Tea.  Other people get ginger in powder former at the grocery store. Either way you digest your ginger, it will help your joints. It's natural and great for you.

Try ginger today!
