Very energetic post, I enjoyed that a lot. Will there be a part 2?
Really does anyone recognize or suggest Pure pomegranate for sale?
Yes, there definitely will be a part 2 in spring/summer, so don’t be shy with your pomegranate juice recipes! In the meantime, Ms S is planning a detox in January, so please feel free to send through seasonal suggestions
