New Obsession

It's no secret that I don't have a green thumb. So, I decided to try my luck with mint. Because it's a weed. And I do have luck with growing weeds. I mean- you can google mint, and come up with hundreds of articles about easy it is to grow mint. Well, folks- I managed to kill my first mint plant (it does need to be watered every now and then). Oops. So, it's not fail-safe. Since I'm not one to give up, I decided to give it a second chance.  And with just a bit of TLC, I have managed to grow my mint into the above picture. A co-worker of mine even felt sorry that I killed off my first mint plant, so she bought be another one. Now, I have more mint than I know what to do with.

This is no gardening post- because why would you want advice from a mint-killer? I really just wanted to share with you my new fave obsession:

My mint and lemon combo

Making my own flavored water! I am typically a plain water drinker. Water and coffee (oh yeah, and wine) are my liquids of choice. Anything else can really throw off my running game. Since its summer, I've been flavoring my own water with whatever I can get my hands on. My two favorite combos have been mint and lemon and mint and strawberry. I've also done peppermint and cucumber and mint. The possibilities are endless, and it is especially refreshing during this hot summer. Flavor away and enjoy!
