6 Healthy Alternatives To Your Favorite Treats
Mamiverse

Now that it’s officially summer and the weather is starting to get warmer I know a lot of my friends are starting to crave that delicious cold treat, ice cream. Except ice cream isn’t the best treat to reach for. Especially when you’re trying to stay in shape for the beach. Below are healthy alternatives that you and your friends could make instead of spending your money and the adding on the calories.

Chocolate Covered Kiwi or Strawberries

Nothing taste more refreshing then chocolate and fresh fruit in the summer. I suggested kiwi and strawberries but you could pretty much pair any fruit you like with chocolate.

Cantaloupe Sherbet

When I think of sherbet I think of the scene from The Princess Diaries where she eats it really quickly and gets a brain freeze. Cantaloupe is only one of the many flavors sold. Sherbet is a healthy alternative to ice cream and taste lovely in the summer.

Blueberry Banana Ice Cream

Before you freak you and ask why I listed ice cream, it isn't actually ice cream. What this is made up of is almond milk and ice (if needed). You put the blueberries and bananas in a food processor which ends up making the ice cream consistency.

Strawberry Cheesecake Pops

Cheesecake is one of my favorite desserts regardless of the time of year so these popsicles are a great substitute.

Coconut Mango Pops

The combination of the coconut and mango are sure to be a mouthwatering treat.

Chocolate Sorbet

Whether it is chocolate or vanilla you love a good bowl of ice cream regardless of the flavorless. Sorbet is healthier option and very effortless to make. You won't ever remember what ice cream is!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
