Aromas waft through the house.
GINGER LEMONADE
Apres Mask wearing refresher
After a day breathing behind my ski mask all day , a fresh zippy tangy cocktail is so refreshing. Make these up ahead and have them ready in the fridge for your return. The sweet & pucker give me a bit of end of day pizzazz . Cutting the booze helps me feel more refreshed in the am too.
