I am a peach snob. I am a peach elitist. I am a picky, persnickety, PITA peach picker. In short, I am a narrow minded white peach lover. White peaches only. Yellow peaches, step to the left. DENIED!
No, you're just not good enough. You're just not!

I’m all for perfume. In fact, I used to work at one of the largest perfume houses in the world so you know I love the stuff. (In case you’re wondering, I prefer citrus or white flower notes in my perfumes. I hate, hate, hate, hate, HATE musky, vanilla, overly sweet fragrances. Vanilla belongs in baked goods, people and not on your skin!)

Share on FacebookYet another addition to the “I <3 fizzy citrus dink drinks” file. What can I say? I like what I like and I REALLY like fizzy citrus drinks!
I love, love, love, love, LOVE mangoes so when I first spotted this drink at (of all places!) Mitsuwa marketplace, I had to try it. (Blood oranges are great – I like them alot – but mangoes are always my #1 fruit.) I never had a mango soda before and I was curious to find out how this tasted. It’s a good thing I tried it because I love the way it tastes! The soda’s got a nice light carbonation, it’s not too sweet and it has a great, well, mango-y & citrus-y flavor to it.
Boylans' MASH Mango & Blood Orange Soda. YUM.

What would they taste like? They're so structured.
