For some reason I can't open messages...
Oh well My Name is Tea and I want everyone to be properly hydrated! Spread the word... We officially start Nov 1. You can start now by gradually increasing your intake so that your restroom trips balance out over time (there is a upswing initially, you get used to it)
See you all soon!!!1 -
