I pick a new
month

then another
everything
passes me by
at least I'll
get better
at least
I'll get better
I'll get
I'm getting
am I getting

Beverage
Diet Coke with Angostura bitters and a lime
This was on the NA list as a Diet Coke Highball at a bar I went to on Thursday with a friend, which I do question a little since bitters are certainly not zero proof. A bitters and soda (or this version of a bitters and soda) is extremely low ABV, which is great but not truly non-alcoholic. Of course, neither is cough syrup, but you know.
Anyway, I am a big bitters and soda orderer and drinker, and I do judge a bartender by how much bitters goes into that glass. I want more than a little sprinkle! I actually want kind of a lot.
But I ordered this version on Thursday and then went to get dinner last night and ordered one as basically a call drink (lol). The bartender had a good hand with the bitters, the whole thing got nice and foamy, and the lime has the best zing.
When I am once again settled in my own spot, I can guarantee these will be on regrettably heavy rotation. Imagine one on pebble ice...
Scent
Tea-forward scents
I have a little eau de toilette from Capri that I procured as a teen and still have, and the scent is a light citrus and green tea. I love it. I was thinking about it this week, and I am preparing to dabble in tea-forward options. But in the eau de parfum arena because I don't really like "get" wearing eau de toilette, to be honest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know.
