Don't Mind If I Do


PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket

Good morning, loves!  How's the week shaping up for you? 

Dreaming of having a little outdoor time this week before a heatwave hits on Thursday.  It's going to be 97 degrees here in NYC which means I'll be all about the AC for a few days.  And if I have to be outside I'd like to have one of two of these refreshers to make it more bearable.  Juices of blackberries and cucumbers are mixed with muddled fresh mint, laced with Hendricks gin, then poured over lots of ice.  Sounds good to me.  What do you say?  Care to join me?

Enjoy the day, sweets!

xoxo

    I visited NYC in a massive heat wave once... the smells were not pretty. Logan and I sought refuge at the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa. Stay cool Dawn. xo

    Those refreshers sound just perfect to beat the heat. I can't believe it's going to be so hot tomorrow. That's like a beach day! I got my hair cut yesterday to prepare for it ;)

    Count me in! Our weather is still hit and miss with some overcast and drizzle until July.. I can't imagine 97 degrees (and humidity!) Those kinds of temps require extra hydration ;)

    Dear Dawn, we are already there with the temperature, I went out today to buy me an ice cream and I was dying, but summer is still my favorite season :D I am all about mint refreshers, so yours sounds like heaven! :*
