I put my special twist to the mix but feel free to make it your own. Watch the video or follow the complete recipe below for all you need to add this super easy drink to your at-home beverage rotation!

Got the travel bug again? I definitely do but I'm playing it safe and taking short/day trips not far from home for now. Once it's safe to expand my horizons, I have a long list of places I'm headed to. This week's list will help you plan colorful trips of all sizes:

• If you need some destination ideas, I found this list of 21 of the best travel movies very inspiring. (Full Suitcase)

• Before you pull out the passport, check this list of countries that Americans can travel to. (NY Times)

• If the Caribbean is on your trip list, check out the Instagram feed of this travel enthusiast who also makes her hometown of Miami look really good.

• I'm not big on tour traveling. Call me a control freak but vacations shouldn't be about schedules and timetables. Nevertheless, a few of these international food tours would make me break my own rules. 

• Are you a light packer? These backpacks are the absolute best for IMO.

• This article about the safety of cruise ships was extremely surprising to me. (Yahoo News)

• Travel in style with one of these colorful and protective passport cases.

• Washington, DC has always been a weekend getaway destination for me. Despite all that has occurred there in recent months (and years), I can't wait to return to check out some of the places Vice President Kamala Harris frequents. (Travel and Leisure)

• Pop these in your carry-on for a luxurious moisturizing skin care treat.

• You'll be able to find your luggage on the airport baggage carousel with ease with one of these colorful spinners.

Until next time, may your life be filled with COLOR!
