5 Ingredients or Less Challenge



I am finishing up 100 miles in September for cancerfree kids. I've been power walking like a crazy lady this month 🤣

Alcohol- I know...trust me I know. Alcohol was my calming elixer, my social boost, my work companion. In my mind it made me more social, relaxed me, helped me fall asleep, helped me work late in hotels on the road, helped my golf game, made concerts, sporting events, and pretty much everything in life better.
