Randy has been part of The Spicy Olive family since Dec. 2013 and we all are behind him in his endeavor to ride his bicycle across the US! Randy has pedaled 1000 miles and is 1/3 of the way across the US. He is in the New Mexico/Texas area and the  weather has not been cooperating lately as it has been in the 40's with wind and sleet! Please keep Randy and Jeff in your thoughts and prayers and if you haven't donated to the MS fund please consider doing so. Click on the link below to learn more.

Here is a unique idea to pamper Mom! 

Make a great face wash using our local honey and fresh olive oils. Honey promotes skin healing and has natural antimicrobial properties. Olive oil is full of antioxidant vitamins A & E and is a great  moisturizer!

Just use a teaspoon of honey and add a few drops of Lemon or Blood Orange olive oil to the honey. Mix together and rub on your face to clean. Use a little olive oil as a moisturizer after washing!

Spicy Olive Salt or Sugar Scrub

Fill decorative jar with coarse sea salt or sugar crystals. Fill jar with The Spicy Olive's Lemon or Blood Orange olive oil and put on lid. Mom can use a small spoon to scoop out a little into the palm of her hand and exfoliate away any rough spots on her hands as she washes! The Lemon or Blood Orange oil leaves hands with a great fresh scent!

Try the Citrus Salad recipe above or put the two together on fish and grill! Try the Grapefruit white balsamic in a Summer Sipper. Simply mix 2 teaspoons or more to taste of the Grapefruit balsamic with La Croix Grapefruit sparkling water or Squirt soft drink if you prefer a sweeter cocktail over ice. Add 1-2 oz of vodka and stir. Enjoy!
