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!

Tropic Like it's Hot!

Oh Florida summers... Goodness, is it hot?! Growing up in Fort Myers, you lived for Disney Original Movie marathons, ice cream, pool day and that rainy 3pm nap. That was life for us! After living in Central Florida for a little bit, I will say there is no better cure my Summer woes except for being in Fort Myers. Don't get me wrong, Mt Dora was beautiful but there is just something about my hometown! This week was the second at the new dermatology job, I'm slowly but surely learning the lingo. I have been in the medical field 10 years, but this specialty has a language all it's own! It's hard to keep your confidence, this position is more hands on involving anesthesia and sutures, but I'll get there! I will say though, I truly despise being the "new girl". Everyone asks the same question, patients and peers are a tad nervous since you're a stranger and all they have to go off of for your experience is your word. It's intimidating but adds to

Slap on a Little Lipstick and Pull Yourself Together!

It's hump day!  Halfway to the weekend, which usually means nothing to me since I work at a restaurant in a massive theme park! However, this weekend I have one of my closest friends coming to visit and I couldn't be more excited!! She was behind the motivation for me to start this blog, so yall be thankful! Heading into work, I wanted to post just a little something! First off, this blog is means more to me than just an outlet to express myself. It is becoming a way of releasing confidence that I've built up within myself in the last few years. I used to be the girl who threw on whatever slightly matched and didn't give a second glance at my roots or makeup! If I put eyeliner on, I would stun my beau at the time! Since then, I've grown to love myself and learn what makes me feel beautiful, now I want to share that knowledge! Quite wise, haha that's literally laughable! But if some person is taking time out of their day to read this, then I must be

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine.
