Must Have Monday : Favorite Drink and Mug

    There are a lot of people who can't function without that first cup of coffee in the morning, I am not one of them. Actually coffee is only something I drink occasionally, instead my drink of choice is green tea. On cold mornings I have such a hard time getting out of bed to make tea before work with enough time to sit and enjoy it so instead I drink it when I get home. It's like a treat or reward. I have several really cute mugs that I love but I tend to always go with a certain one. Nothing taste better than your favorite drink in your favorite mug.


   My favorite mug was actually a gift from my mom and stepdad. They bought it at a Starbucks outside of NYC while on vacation. I love NYC! As a kid I always dreamed of living in New York wearing heels to a fancy job on the 100th floor of a skyscraper with a great view of old rustic buildings. None of that happened but my love for NYC has not diminished. The mug is such a great rendition of New York. I like how it's black and white except for the Starbucks sign and yellow taxi. I want to get another mug to have a set.



   Green tea with blueberry honey is my first choice of beverage but occasionally I like to mix it up. I recently bought the Tazo Chocolate Chai tea mix. It's really good but really rich so I only make small cups and drink it every once in a while. It's super easy to make, you take equal parts chai mix and milk then heat it up. I use 2% but you can use almond milk, coconut milk, hemp milk, or whatever you like. When a day has been really good or really bad I may add a little whip cream as well. 

    What's your favorite drink? Do you also tend to reach for the same mug?

Happy Weekend 🍁

    Hello readers! For some reason this morning I woke up before 7:30am, the only people who wake up at that time on a Saturday are morning people and parents but I am neither. Since I was up I decided to clean house especially my room which has clothes everywhere. I finished my laundry and breakfast and now I am free to enjoy this rainy fall day! I think I will write a letter to my sister, read a book, and of course stop at Starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte!





    I hope you all enjoy your weekend! October is a great month for fall festivals and long walks in a cozy sweatshirt. Make sure to take time for you this weekend and enjoy all the blessings around you! Go buy some pumpkins and hot chocolates and have fun! Happy weekend friends!
