Good Morning!  I'm sitting in my beautiful hotel room at the Ritz Carlton in Washington D.C. writing this blog post!  I'm really excited to grab my camera and walk around this beautiful city to see the sights!  I'm with my friend Britt and we're planning to do some shopping in Georgetown, eat a delicious lunch at Fiola Mare and who knows what else!  It's a beautiful day!

Today's post is filled with things that caught my eye from around the web!  I hope you enjoy!

I've ordered a new book called Quench by Dana Cohen, MD.  We've been told for ages that we should drink eight glasses of water a day, but according to Dana Cohen, there is a smarter way to hydrate.  Dr. Cohen is a traditionally trained physician who has practiced integrative/functional medicine for over 20 years.  Evidently, dehydration can affect everything from cognitive thinking to movement!  You can read more about this interesting book here.

Earlier in the week, I wrote a blog post about how to prevent and reverse dementia.  This article from Dr. Axe, gives 8 Surprising Ways to Lower Dementia Risk including sleeping in a brain friendly position.  I found this article very interesting and will be incorporating these suggestions in addition what I'm already doing. 

Female face shaving is a real thing and I'll admit that I've been doing it for years.  I don't like to have any fuzz on my face and it's easy to just shave it off every day.  If you've ever thought about it, you'll be interested in this article.  When done properly, it's a great way to remove unwanted hair and exfoliate.

Just in time for peach season...you want to make this delicious recipe for Corn, Cucumber, Peach and Avocado Salad from Love and Lemons!

The ultimate summer coffee table book is Poolside with Slim Aarons!  Slim Aarons offers images of jet-setters and the wealthy, of beautiful, glittering people living the glamorous life.  

This year has been a good one for movies and I'm excited about McQueen hit theaters on July 20.  McQueen is an intimate look into the man whose fashion house broke the rules and forged new territory in the world of fashion – Alexander McQueen.

Here are a few links for things that I'm loving right now!  Some are affordable and some are just wishful thinking for me, but I thought you might enjoy!

I'm off to have a wonderful day in Washington D.C.!  Check back soon for all the fun details about my trip including where to stay, shop and most importantly...where to eat!  Thanks for reading today!
