How to Make a DAMN GOOD Southern Bourbon Peach Iced Tea
How to Make a DAMN GOOD Bourbon Peach Iced Tea
Hello Summer!!! Today marks the first official day of summer...
Serious Question: Um, where did Spring go?
No seriously, where did Spring go?
It seems like just yesterday I was enjoying my Spring ritual of rolling down all car windows and opening sunroofs to feel the breeze gently blow through my hair and sun kiss my winter skin. Pairing ever so perfectly with my Grammy-award winning off-key vocally styled musical performance of some catchy pop-song song that I'm guaranteed to be found singing to at the top of my lungs in my car. I am sure you have probably seen me. #NotEmbarrassedBlink! and it's today, the Summer Solstice (aka. the first official day of Summer). The Summer Solstice is also the one day a year with the longest hours of daylight. Judging by my personal hair humidity index, I am pretty sure we have been "welcoming" Summer in H-Town for the past 2 months; nonetheless, I am happy to officially see it. So queue the BBQ, delicious ice cream, snow cones, swimming pools, summer getaways and unforgettable backyard celebrations with family and friends.
Cheers to Summer with a great Bourbon Peach Tea and an awesome Summer playlist. Hello Summer!
