Cinco de Mayo celebrations! Giovanni Cosmetics Ultra Sleek and Ultra Moist hair towelettes can keep hair party ready

Hello Gorgeous,
Wow. Are you recovering from all of the #MayTheFourthBeWithYou celebrations that mushed right into Met Gala parties?

Well it's time to tell your liver who is boss because today is Cinco de Mayo. In Arizona, it's a big deal. Maybe in most south western states it is. Not so sure about Maryland.

Here's a little history on Cinco de Mayo which I found on www.history.com, my favorite skinny margarita recipe and of course a beauty product review to help you in your celebrations!




History of Cinco de Mayo: Battle of Puebla

In 1861 the liberal Mexican Benito Juárez (1806-1872) became president of a country in financial ruin, and he was forced to default on his debts to European governments. In response, France, Britain and Spain sent naval forces to Veracruz to demand reimbursement. Britain and Spain negotiated with Mexico and withdrew, but France, ruled by Napoleon III (1808-1873), decided to use the opportunity to carve a dependent empire out of Mexican territory. Late in 1861, a well-armed French fleet stormed Veracruz, landing a large French force and driving President Juárez and his government into retreat.



Certain that success would come swiftly, 6,000 French troops under General Charles Latrille de Lorencez (1814-1892) set out to attack Puebla de Los Angeles, a small town in east-central Mexico. From his new headquarters in the north, Juárez rounded up a rag-tag force of 2,000 loyal men—many of them either indigenous Mexicans or of mixed ancestry—and sent them to Puebla. Led by Texas-born General Ignacio Zaragoza (1829-1862), the vastly outnumbered and poorly supplied Mexicans fortified the town and prepared for the French assault. On May 5, 1862, Lorencez drew his army, well provisioned and supported by heavy artillery, before the city of Puebla and led an assault from the north. The battle lasted from daybreak to early evening, and when the French finally retreated they had lost nearly 500 soldiers. Fewer than 100 Mexicans had been killed in the clash.


The best margarita ever starts with a great tequila, I like Herrardura Reposado.

The recipe calls for:

Instructions

In a shaker filled with ice, add ingredients and shake to mix. Strain into a salt-rimmed rocks glass.


 Personally-I do not put the Cointreau or agave in. Too sweet!
