Pumpkin
Did you know that pumpkin’s orange hue is from carotenoids? Carotenoids are wrinkle-fighting plant pigments that help neutralize free radicals in the skin, keeping them from damaging the cells that fast-forward aging. Pumpkin is filled with vitamins A, C, and E, as well as powerful enzymes that help to cleanse the skin. Pumpkin also has hydrating properties. All this good stuiff is found in the pulp, not the seeds ( I know they are good to eat too).

1.Margarita. Margaritas may be the summer’s most fattening drink. If you use a sugar-saturated Margarita mix, tequila and Triple Sec, along with a salt-rimmed glass, the result could set you back 800 calories. Freshly made Margarita mix can slash those calories in half.
2. Mudslide. A 12-ounce frozen mudslide—made with vodka, Kahlua liqueur, Bailey’s Irish Cream and vanilla ice cream—tastes like an alcoholic milkshake. It canalso have over 800 calories and 25 grams of fat! Try skipping the ice cream in and and you can save a few hundred calories.
