SkinnyMint Me

I want to be like Barbie
(I bet she drinks tea,
not just any other tea,
it’s got to be S k i n n y M i n t,
TeaTox).

#DareToBeGorgeous
#DiscoverTheNewYou

The skinny’s in the mint.
There’s mint in the skinny.

Don’t you see? This
tea, it burns fat,
boosts metabolism,
breaks your buck but if you
#DareToBeGorgeous what’s
$69.90 for 28 days of grace?

The skinny’s in the mint.
There’s mint in the skinny.

I Dare to Discover The New Me.
Make me Gorgeous, please!
(just like Barbie, I drink tea)
SkinnyMint me.
