Watermelons are a must at our family’s 4th of July gatherings, and today I created a tasty Salted Watermelon Slushie for you and your family to enjoy. These slushies are perfect for an outdoor gathering when the heat is on!

I think everything composed made a great deal of sense.
However, what about this? what if you were to create a killer headline?
I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added a headline
to maybe grab people’s attention? I mean Salted Watermelon Slushies Recipe – Cherished Bliss is kinda plain. You should
look at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create post titles to get people interested.
You might add a related video or a picture or two to grab
readers excited about everything’ve written. In my opinion,
it would bring your posts a little bit more interesting.Reply
