Ahhh … the refreshing taste of an ice-cold margarita … the smell of fresh squeezed lime … the salted rim that allows every sip to become a heavenly combination of salty and sweet. Sworn off tequila for, shall we say, more personal reasons?  How about a special Margarita pedicure in honor of Cinco d’Mayo instead?
