Block Island Organics was the sunblock I brought with me when I recently went to hang out at my neighbors pool.  So before we went into the pool my neighbors and I put Block Island Organics all over our exposed bodies.  And you know when you are in a bathing suit that is a lot of area to cover.

Now Terry, who normally does not wear sunblock at all, could not believe how Block Island Organics covered her skin.  I started to explain that Block Island was an organic lightweight, non-nano and instantly absorbing mineral based sunscreen safe for sensitive skin.  Block Island Organic provides hours of all natural, highly effective broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, a small amount goes a long way.

VO5 Silky Experiences Pure Sunshine Shampoo and Conditioner

My niece Sandra was over making herself at home. While I was washing the dishes I heard her say “Wow, this smells great! ” I agreed, this was the  VO5 Silky Experiences Pure Sunshine Shampoo and Conditioner.     Fresh and clean, with delicate notes of pacific rose apple, white peony and cashmere wood.  No wonder it was voted the next new scent.   Smells like summer!!  Since I happened to have picked up  two sets from the Getting Gorgeous Conference and I find that paying it forward is a good thing ,  I gave her a set. Love that happy face.

I was expecting macaroni or potato salad at the BBQ. What a nice surprise this Greek Style Orzo Salad was.  I was not the only who loved it. Here is the recipe my sister Marianne (she made this salad for us) gave me, hope you try it.

Orzo Salad – Greek Style
serves 6-8

1 1/2 cups uncooked orzo pasta
2 (6 ounce) cans marinated artichoke hearts – chopped
 1 large tomato, seeded and chopped
1 cucumber, seeded and chopped
1 red onion, chopped
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 (2 ounce) can black olives, drained
1/4 cup fresh parsley – chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper

Bring a large pot of  salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. Drain artichoke hearts, reserving liquid marinade .  In large bowl combine pasta, artichoke hearts, tomato, cucumber, onion, feta, olives, parsley, lemon juice, oregano and lemon pepper. Toss, cover  and chill for 1 hour in refrigerator.Just before serving, drizzle reserved artichoke marinade over salad and toss gently.
