Oxford Definition: A beverage produced by fermenting sweet tea with a culture of yeast and bacteria.
Lane’s Definition: A light, sparkling beverage that fuels my day, provides probiotics and antioxidants, cleanses my body, and eliminates my craving for soda. Take that Oxford!
It’s just a new day! And another chance to be good to your body. And so on, and so on….
Is the dryer shrinking your clothes again? (wink, wink) Try eating a vegetable with every meal or snack today. I know that may seem weird, but your clothes and I have faith that you’ll figure it out.
