Philosophical Musings From a Mylk Maid

I'm beautiful was a big hit last weekend at our markets and in the shop with super beautiful aMYLK lattes. They were pink perfection. We plan to have those again this weekend as well as a number of valentine themed healthy treats at the shop.  You won't want to miss this special event day at aMYLK!
