Great party and awesome host pack. It was wonderful to show our guests all the great reasons we love South Beach Living products and how easy you can add them to your diet. The flavors are perfect to take away cravings, you don't feel like your eating something that is good for you and you feel like it is an indulgence. The Smore & Mocha bars were sooooo yummy and the bottles were a huge hit, thanks HP & South Beach Living.

I am sooo excited for tonight! I took my free coupons for the wraps to BJ"s Wholesale Club and was able to buy the HUGE pack(4packs in all) for $5 each! So for $15 I bought 12 wrap packs and are cutting them up & using them as finger food!

I am so excited for tomorrow. A lot of close friends, family and neighbors will partake in the festivities. I love the water bottles, they really are high quality and very nice. I have been in weight loss mode and the South Beach Living products will help me achieve my goals. I admit I tried a S'mores bar today and it is totally delish! I am addicted! :)

Well, tomorrow is the big day and I am so ready. My family & friends and few coworkers will be there. We all need to shed some winter time weight and get ready for the summer. Which I cannot believe will be here soon. Time flies and sometimes too fast. Good Luck everyone and can't wait to see pics from the parties.

I love the South Beach living philosophy and I am thrilled to be able to share it with family and friends.
I am trying hard to walk every day - it's funny how often, as a busy mom, I forget to take a little time for myself. Walking for an hour every day on the treadmill is my "me time". Now I am changing my way of thinking. I feel I am setting a good example for my kids on how to live better and healthier!
One final note, I was perusing the South Beach Living website and found this awesome recipe for " Spicy nut mix". It looked easy and also great for a munchie for the party. Here it is, in case anyone is interested:
Spicy Nut Mix
Serves: 20
Details:
An outrageous blend of nuts, soybeans, and spices makes a supercharged snack that provides an energy boost. Don't be put off by the number of ingredients — the mix takes just 5 minutes to put together. We recommend packing small amounts of the cooled mixture into resealable bags for quick grab-and-go snacks.
Ingredients:
* 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
* 2 teaspoons ground ginger
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1 teaspoon chili powder
* 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
* 2 large egg whites
* 1 cup unsalted soy nuts
* 1 cup roasted edamame
* 1 cup pecan pieces
* 1 cup walnut pieces
* 1 cup raw almonds
* 1/4 cup granular sugar substitute
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 225° F. In a small bowl, add first 6 ingredients and blend. In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until foamy. Whisk in spice mixture. Add nuts and sugar substitute; toss to coat.
2. Evenly divide nut mixture between two nonstick baking sheets, preferably with sides. (If sheets are not nonstick, line them with parchment paper.) Spread nuts to evenly cover sheets. Bake 1 hour 5 minutes, until nuts are dry and toasted. Stir every 20 minutes. Cool on baking sheet.

Only 2 days, wow, I am so ready for this. I am giving away a couple of pedometers with the South Beach Living Bingo, to encourage not only eating right but walking for excersice. I wore one for a day, what a surprise, I need to walk more.
I have made a CD of Beach Boys Music too, it is snowing a little here, hopefully the weather will change for the beach theme

hi!!! I am so excited about my party & I just finished making my little gift bags!! I got these cute little tote bags in beachy colors.. just big enough to fit the water bottle, one smore bar, one cereal bar.. the on the inside of the bottle I printed out a smaller version of the razzmopolotin & the smart living tips, rolled that up put that inside along with another cereal bar so they could try both kinds!!! I added a drink umbrella!! hope everything goes well. I am making some appetizers I found on the southbeach web page that are like 60 calories each!! =)

This is going to be so cool. I got some different flavor packets and put them in the water bottles. Also, put the coupon for each guest in the bottle. We got a water Cooler so everyone will be able to try out the different flavors. We cheated and had to sample some of the goodies.. Needless to say, I have to buy more now. These are so good, it is hard to beleive they are healthy for you.. LOL
