Mocktail Mashup - EP 2. Sweeping floors to Miley's "Flowers" and Pantone's colour of the year for your living room

This week Petra and I talk about the Netflix series we couldn’t stop watching and the song Andrew’s been playing ad nauseam. From current literary fiction that’s all the rage to some burning historical fiction, we cover some serious ground with laughs, a few more MAiD references and the big reveal on the colour of the year that we won’t be throwing on our walls any time soon.

This week’s mocktail is a Coconut, Cucumber, Lime, and Mint Cooler from Town & Country. (Andrew forgot to pick up coconut water, so we substituted with some Lime Bubly).
