I can’t take the heat. As I write this post, I’m practically in a bathing suit sitting in front of my computer as sweat drips down my body. So glamorous right? My beloved 70º So-Cal weather is no where to be found, we are currently going through a heat wave. Yesterday we had a record high of 100º and today my car thermometer said it was 104º. I think it might be time I break down and buy this pretty AC unit!
In attempt to beat the heat I made some watermelon, lime, mint agua fresca – so easy and quick! A great treat in this heat, but probably better if I was sitting pool side instead of computer side.
