A Coffee Diva

Good afternoon everyone. It's a cold Thursday here in N.Y.C. I have been working non-stop but I will try to stay up to date as much as I can. I stumbled upon Celestial Seasonings holiday line up of teas. Check them out here . They look delicious :) Do you guys buy "holiday teas" around this time of year? Or just serve your year round regular favorites. Me myself I just drink regular during the holiday season. But these do look yummy. I'd be willing to make a switch. Signing off a "Tea" Diva

My coffee people! I have missed you all. I just recently accepted another job part time working in a really great store. I will be starting later this week. So wish me well :) It's October. I can't believe that. As usual the days are just flying by. I am here to give you the best of everything Pumpkin ! Which is pretty much anywhere you look . Own a Keurig Brewer?? Here are some great Pumpkin K-Cups From Greenmountain Own a traditional coffee maker? Love to recreate your own recipes? Well here is a great Pumpkin Pie Spice Latte Recipe from McCormick Spices . If you own a Tassimo brewer (as I lucky received from Tassimo for free) they have their own Pumpkin Spice Latte discs as well. I can't wait to try these. I am sure they are amazing. The Tassimo brewer makes barista quality drinks. If you are like my mom and you love flavored creamers, well you will definitely want to try International Delight's Pumpkin Pie Spice creamer . It is to die for !!! ...

A beautiful happy Saturday to all. I just came back from a nice treat. I went to get a pedicure with my sister at the nail salon. It felt great. After such a stressful week and month. I needed that. I haven't slept in days so I was practically asleep in the chair lol. I am enjoying a nice cup of Jamaica Me Crazy. It is the last K-Cup I had from that blend. Now I am ready to stock up on fall/winter flavors. But it was okay since it is warm here in N.Y.C. I am a member of houseparty.com. I have gotten one party in the two years or so I have been applying. It is very competitive and at times I get frustrated for never getting picked. None the less I still apply. You never know right? Well the newest party they have is " Gevalia For The Love Of Foam". It looks awesome! I applied and I hope I win. Here is the link so you can apply. It is very easy. http://www.houseparty.com/event/gevaliacafe I hope you win! Good luck :) Signing off A " Coffee " ...

Good Afternoon Thursday readers. It is a very sticky,humid, and rainy August day here in N.Y.C. Yuck. It makes me feel sleepy. I have been home today because a piece in my shower is broken so I had to wait for the super to finally make his way up to my apartment and fix it. I was reduced to taking a bath a few days and washing my head in the sink. That was fun(not really). Well what can you do? These are the exciting activities that grown ups have to deal with on a daily basis. I am glad to be in an apartment when things like this happen so I never have to fix anything lol. Today on my Facebook page I saw Lipton Tea now has Tea K-Cups!! Love this idea. I drink Lipton Tea all the time. They are available to purchase on Amazon.com . $12.39 for a 24 count pack. I think that's reasonable for K-Cups. Lipton has three flavors so far. Black Tea,Green Tea, and Iced Tea. I would love to try the black Tea K-Cups. Have you guys purchased any Tea in K-Cup form? Do you find they taste g...

I started out this week with a bang. I felt renewed with the cooler fresh air. I had tons of energy. Somewhere down the week from yesterday on I lost my spark. This happens a lot to me. As I got older and my lifestyle changed from going to clubs every night to being a housewife. I always have these spurts of energy. But then it dies out after a while. I could just be relaxing and then boom! I have to get up and go do something. I am not satisfied unless I am constantly doing stuff. Which stinks, because there are days that we should be able to just relax. And go with the flow. But I am trying. My husband hates when I am like this. He feels I work very hard and I should enjoy myself whenever I have the free time(One of the many reasons why I love him so much). If anything it is a compliment to myself if I do have some free time at the end of the night. That means my house is spotless. Work is done. My husband is taken care of. And now it's time for me :) How do you guys unw...

What a beautiful day it is here in N.Y.C. The humidity dropped and cool air took over. Finally good weather to do my Zumba in! I don't know about you guys, but when it is very hot and humid out I just can't be doing Zumba or cardio like that. Makes me feel like I'm going to pass out. I usually just do sit ups, push ups, & yoga in the summer. I do the same in winter but with my Zumba when I first get up. I was so happy I did an hour advanced session and it felt great. I always feel good when I am eating healthy and working out. Speaking of being healthy, another thing I try to do every day if I am home is have afternoon tea. I usually stop drinking coffee after the morning time and I love the soothing feeling of stoping for a little bit mid-day and just relaxing. Savoring the moment. I usually go on my porch. Or read a little bit. I have so many different varieties of tea that I drink. Black, green, white, etc. Most are caffeine free which is another reason I sw...
