The best kind of milkshakes is the ones we make at home. The taste and the flavours are always incredible. They are healthy too and suitable for all age groups. My favourite milkshakes for the season are Oreos milkshake and blueberry milkshake. These, like other milkshake varieties, can even be spiked with alcohol.

This is the grandfather of the peppered meat family. It’s everything spicy and delicious. Need I say more? I’ll like to conclude on this note. December is a great time to relax and have fun. But you must not spend extravagantly to have fun. Besides, you must also remember that as the old year is ending, a new one is beginning. Thus, if you don’t detty your December with sense, you will begin January. Merry Christmas, My Beautiful People. Featured Image Source: My Diaspora Kitchen
