A seasonal lifestyle blog

A love letter to style, heirloom recipes, creative pursuits, motherhood, and life’s little joys through my camera lens.

Cucumber Ginger Agua Fresca

You know how ginger and cucumber have natural anti-inflammatory properties? Can we make an argument that this drink will de-puff, de-bloat, and de-stress? I am thinking yes.
