Morning Ritual

When I go to bed each night, I am already looking forward to my morning coffee. I just love our Nespresso maker (we recently upgraded from this one which is also great) and frothing my own milk each day. For the past few years, I have been making oat milk lattes at home with this Oatly milk (I also love this brand for cashew milk) but for many years I made almond milk lattes by making my own almond milk. It was quite easy with our Vitamix and this nut milk bag. The one thing that hasn’t changed with this morning ritual is picking out a cute mug for my latte. I have several in my collection and it so fun choosing one based upon my mood and sometimes outfit! This is the first impression of your day and I think you should have something in your hands that makes you smile and that sparks joy for you! It’s such a great way to set your day up for beauty and gratitude. This one is my favorite right now and this one is so special as there is a small hot air balloon inside that reminds me of our own hot air balloon adventure in Napa (I have it saved on my Instagram story reel named Napa if you’d like to see it). This was the first one I added to my collection slowly followed by this one and this one. Some of them have scallops and some of them have none. I love this striped one and I have my eye on this one next. Instead of reaching for a pretty mug my husband loves these classic mugs as he can fit more in it and chug away. Do you hate when your coffee gets cold?! Me too! This gadget will change your life and coffee temperature forever! You can even control it from your iPhone!!! And if you must take your joe on the go, I love these disposable cups which are great for car rides, walks, etc. so, you don’t have empty mugs rolling about the car or you can have free hands if your walk lasts longer than your coffee does. They are also great for tea, smoothies, and cocktails/wine for evening walks! As you can see, I don’t take my coffee mugs or containers lightly.
