Sunrise Spa Water
Greet the day with a toast to your health and happiness! This sunny
beverage makes a gorgeous addition to a home spa party, as the juices
layer in the glass like a beautiful sunrise. High in vitamin C and
antioxidants, the citrus fruit aids digestion and liver cleansing, and the
pomegranate juice is packed with beneficial vitamins and antioxidants
that fight free radicals. Pomegranate is also anti-inflammatory and heart-
healthy and has been shown to protect the system from certain cancers.
