TGIF, amiright?? Whoever said lazy summers will continue into adulthood wasn’t exactly stating facts. Do we have relaxing nights and fun weekends? Absolutely. But all the in-between stuff can be exhausting. Oof! So, I’m ringing in another summer weekend with a few delicious drinks that are also really, really pretty.
