We’ve Redecorated!

disneytoon2Some people are certainly going to ask why I changed the Signature Sweet Shoppe website, and the reason is that it was a business move to stay more current with how the search engines ranked me.  Although the pages from the old site are still there and accessible all the time, the new site, which is designed within a Wordpress template, should help me become more visible on the search engines – and that’s what it’s all about!   Being visible!

Because summer is upon us and many of you are home bakers, don’t forget to drink plenty of water when you are baking!  The general rule for staying hydrated is to divide your weight in half and drink that many ounces of water.  So… if you weight 140 lbs, half of that is 70, so you should drink 70 ounces, or 2 liters per day.  If you are working in a hot kitchen, drink more.

Do not, however, drink too much water at one time.  This can throw off your electrolytes and can cause hyper-hydration, a potentially deadly condition – although it usually happens with tons of water, like binge water drinking at fraternity hazings.  Stupid.   Just sip it slow and steady throughout the day.  Will you pee a lot more?  Only if you drink a ton at once.  Your body will adjust to the hydration, and it will help you flush out toxins in your system and leave your skin oh so soft!
