The only problem is it does horrible things to my breath! I have to give my teeth and tongue at least two good brushes afterwards to get things right again. But, it's usually worth it. (: Another thing I enjoy is Grand Marnier, so that Romanoff sounds amazing to me. I bet I could add Grand Marnier to any fruit salad to give it that extra <i>je ne sais quoi</i>. I don't know why I never thought of adding it before...oh right, the kids. ;) Elise Fallsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14734537117333738468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-84809559996795728062013-06-18T01:41:40.523-04:002013-06-18T01:41:40.523-04:00I love the look of this Romanoff.
