But First, Coffee

Hell hath no fury like a woman without her coffee!

A couple months ago, I posted on my social media sites about my current coffee choice, the pros and cons, and a plea for suggestions to my peeps about what to do. The issue: holy tummy pain! I had been using Folgers Breakfast Blend for what seems like forever in my caffeinated career. Suddenly, the taste turned bitter, the aftermath was severe stomach pain after the first sip, this was heartbreaking! If anyone knows me well, they know I NEED coffee like a bum needs cardboard. Without it, adulting will not happen...well, it may happen, but not well!

A couple suggestions came and I decided to try a few! First, I tried Starbucks Blonde: Mellow and Soft. Since the name describes this as mellow and soft, I was open minded. I didn't want to try their breakfast blend since I wanted something completely new.
My snowman cup was a secret Santa gift and I use it year round!

 I really did like this so much better than the Folgers! No pain, smooth taste but could be a little bitter since it is darker than the breakfast blend I am used to. I stuck with this for a little while but it is NEVER in stock at my neighborhood stores so I needed to test another out for a back-up!

That is where McCafe Breakfast Blend filled the gap! I just started using this stuff in the past week and I love it! It is a smaller bag than the Starbucks coffee, but it is also cheaper. Hence the saying, you get what you pay for. In this instance, the size is what I sacrificed. But, I do find this to be a lot lighter in taste, I will have to get used to not using as much creamer!

Thank you for the suggestions! If you have any coffee obsessions you want to share, I'd love to try it! After all, coffee helps get things done until wine jumps in and finishes the job!

Growth, Perspective, and Silence

"Some days, I can conquer the world. Other days, it takes me three hours to convince myself to shower"- the perfect Pinterest quote! This 27th year has been one of growth and reflection. I truly thought looking at 27 year-old people then that by the time I had reached this point that I would be an independent, sexy, confident woman with this spectacular job and a hardworking stud by my side! Some of this came true, but not much! I've got the stud, that's about it! That being said, I came into this year thinking that I knew who I was, where I was heading and that I had a great man to share it all with. One thing that people normally won't tell you is that when your relationship becomes committed and you're around the other person practically 24/7, they begin to see your flaws and, if you're as lucky as I am, they begin to help you become a better person. One thing that anyone who knows us will tell you is that when you meet the beau and I for the first ti...

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

Thirty-Onederful!

Today I turned 31, it was a different birthday vibe than I usually have. Typically, I get really into my plans and can't wait for the day to come. Maybe it is because our plans changed drastically suddenly or because of the imminent threat of the hurricane looming in the back of my mind. But today ended up much better than originally anticipated! Of course, I needed the birthday Snapchat filter! Our plans were to go to Croom which is a motocross park ran by the state. The property used to be phosphate mines in Brooksville, it has since been used for motocross celebs and locals for enjoyment. Last minute, literally 5 hours before we were supposed to head north, the boyfriend tells me that due to the pain in the rump hurricane barreling towards the east coast they are closing the park. Talk about blonde emoji facepalm, ugh!! Now, I do not ride a dirt bike, heck I barely have the coordination to walk and chew gum at the same time. But I enjoy disconnecting, hiking, and relaxin...
