Oh, January - the month when 4 weeks feels like an eternity, when we’re all a little depressed the holidays are over and the decorations are down, and reality hits us all that we’ve probably been overindulging since….let’s be honest….Halloween. But January is also about fresh starts and I love the idea of starting 2024 off in a healthy, money saving way!
If you’re anything like me, Dry January might be something you’ve usually rolled your eyes about in the past. Four weeks off drinking in the worst month of the year?! However, this concept of a fresh, healthy start to the year has encouraged so many people to ditch the alcohol, save some money, and start the new year off on a positive note.
Check out my favorite recipe for a Spiced Apple Mocktini to make your Dry January a little more enjoyable!
