La Croix Coconut Flavored Sparkling Water {Product Review}
*I was not compensated for this review. I did not receive any free products. The opinions expressed are my own. I was in the grocery store when I noticed the display for this product.

But, surprisingly, it did not. La Croix Coconut Flavored Sparkling Water is a very natural flavored beverage. There is no artificial sweetener. Only natural coconut flavor. In addition, there is no sodium or calories, and no artificial colors. The are only two…

I wasn’t absolutely certain what it was, but I had a good idea that it was a pastry. After all, everyone knows how I adore pastries. Well, he brought my special gift to me, and as I suspected it was a pastry. A beautiful cake! And there was coconut on it, so I was immediately pleased. He wasn’t sure exactly if it was a coconut cake; he knew to tell the baker that I love coconut. But once I cut into, I realized…
