MY TV SHOW PREMIERE!

LEMON AND CUCUMBER MINT INFUSED WATER (MORNING TEA)
I’m sure you all know the benefits of drinking water, but sometimes, it could be somewhat difficult getting your daily amounts of water a day, plus drinking plain water isn’t something to look forward to (except you are water obsessed like me) because it isn’t exciting. However, you have to drink more water and drink…
