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.
