BODY BALM REVIEW








Grill Season Is upon Us!

 
                                                     Grill Season Is Upon Us!!





Summer is back! There will be pool parties, barbecues, and 4th of July engagements galore. All of which include food so what's a vegan or vegetarian to do? Bring these black bean burgers, of course!
Try this hearty yet flavorful vegan recipe that can be either grilled right away or kept frozen until needed.

                                                                  Ingredients:
                                                      2 cups of cooked black beans
                                                      1/4 of a green pepper diced
                                                      1/4 onion diced
                                                      1 serrano, jalapeno or fresno pepper diced
                                                      3 sprigs of fresh oregano or 1 1/2 tsp of dry
                                                      1/2 tsp cumin
                                                      1/4 cup corn
                                                      1 tsp of chili powder
                                                      1/4 cup of ground oats
                                                      2 tbsp corn meal
                                                      1 tbsp of flax mixed with a 1/4 cup water

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and place a pan of water on the lowest rack to keep the burgers from drying out.

Prepare the mixture of flax and water first as this mixture will need to sit for 10 minutes until it becomes  viscous. This is your egg substitute and will act as the binding agent to keep the patties together.

Add rinsed beans, onions and peppers together and mash. Then adding the flax/water mixture, ground oats, corn meal and spices and mix/mash thoroughly. Mix corn in last to keep kernels whole. Oil baking sheet and form patties to make 3 large  4 small ones. You can also double up this recipe if you are cooking for more people. Throw them on the cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes on each side. They are then ready to put on the grill immediately or you can freeze them for a later date. They are best served on a pretzel bun with avocado, mixed greens and tomato.

Celebrate Mommas

Our Mothers changed our diapers, taught us how to apply eyeliner, and forgave more than a few stains on the carpet and broken vases. Our mothers gave us the best years of their lives so now it's time to give them one day of the year. That means we better make the absolute best of it an pamper them like crazy! In addition to the flowers, try getting your Momma a relaxing bath product like a Bath Bomb powder or Sugar Scrub. You could also treat your madre to one of our face creams like our night cream or eye cream to help her look as young on the outside as she is on the inside. From now until May 11 enter the code "MOMMA" to receive 25% off your Lulu Blossom order!

Spring is in the air…..

Spring has sprung at Lulu Blossom!
Spring is a great time to start planning your new fresh skin care regimen. Shed your dry winter layers and get ready to show the world the beauty in you. The focus for spring should be to exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. Sugar scrubs are a great and natural way to get your skin ready for fun in the sun. It's important to exfoliate before lathering up in lotions, potions, and balms so that dead skin doesn't trap unwanted moisture and oil under the surface. Our Lulu Blossom tip of the day is to exfoliate, moisturize, and repeat!
