Happy Tuesday all :) Another gorgeous day here in NYC. I already went out and treated myself to some much needed beauty treats at Rite Aid. I feel if you watch your weight, and work out all the time and sacrifice for your health and looking good. You should reward yourself the right way. No put the cookie down, and pick up a lipstick instead . lol. Anywhoo here are the best tips I have ever found on brewing espresso, machiatto, coffee, storing, etc. Check them out they are amazing !
