If you remember I had the opportunity to meet the CEO of Pura Vida Tequila & Godsmack, as well as attend the Rockstar UpRoar Music Festival. If you haven’t read about my experience yet, you can read about it here. As part of this experience I also have the opportunity to review Pura Vida Tequila and create recipes using them.
Lets start with a meal that your family and friends will love: Tequila Lime Chicken Tacos! It’s easy to make and it’s delicious!
The chicken is marinated in a homemade tequila lime & cilantro marinade and then grilled. Simply top with cheese, cilantro leaves and garnish with a lime to squeeze over the whole thing.

These tacos were made with Pura Vida Tequila Silver. Pura Vida Silver delivers pure agave flavor and unparalleled drinking pleasure when making your favorite cocktail or the ultimate margarita. But purists may prefer to simply savor its untarnished agave flavor on its own – unchilled and unadulterated. Aroma: Pure Blue Agave, mint, jasmine and laurel. Taste: Smooth taste of agave with a touch of thyme, jasmine flavor. The tequila has various Blue Agave elements with a slightly spicy smooth finish to it. Finish: Warm
Pura Vida, español for pure life or the good life, means living life to the fullest, pushing the limits of excitement, or, as far as your sense of adventure takes you.

One of the most important things you must address if you want to take back control of your weight and body shape is the food you eat and the exercise you take part in. If you continue to indulge in high fat, salt or sugar foods that are highly processed or artificial in their ingredients, then it’s extremely likely you will gain weight. Though it may be tempting to cruise to the drive-thru rather than prepare yourself a fresh and healthy meal, it’s vital that you can change the way that you eat to sculpt your figure and lose fat. When you eat well you will also improve other aspects of your health too, including the way you feel mentally. The preservatives and flavors that are included in many grocery store food items can encourage mood swings, which could have a bad effect on your confidence and self-worth if you regularly experience a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Exercise is a key contributing factor when it comes to achieving the ideal summer body, but you don’t have to hit the gym 7 days a week to lose weight. Starting off with something basic such as yoga or swimming can be a great way to tone your body and burn calories at the same time, so don’t be afraid to get out there and work up a sweat.
Extra Enhancements
There are several extra enchantments that you might wish to consider to help you achieve the summer body you are dreaming of, from specialized accessories to surgical procedures. First of all, a very popular choice to support women in achieving a smaller waist is a corset trainer – the regular pressure of the corset can really help to cinch in your stomach to create a more hourglass shape, and they’re commonly very inexpensive to purchase too. If you’re looking for something a little more permanent, then researching for a respected breast augmentation specialist to talk through some options with you might be the best idea. There are also procedures such as liposuction that can help to remove fat and create a more slender appearance.
Prepping your summer body has never been so simple when you can utilize the tips detailed above!
