KEEP CALM the COFFEE IS READY

coffee. vanilla latte. ice coffee, splash of soy, two pumps of vanilla syrup. no matter how it is made, i love my coffee. it is one of the first things i do in the morning to make sure i don't have a pounding headache all day. i might say that i have become an addict.. oops. 

so today my amazing friend, benit took me to an awesome coffee shop THIRTY minutes away from me! but i totally knew it was going to be worth it, so of course i hopped into the car and we made our way to yet another adventure. this amazing coffee shop called Old Soul definitely had that h i p s t e r vibe, but i didn't mind because i was getting my coffee. it was a typical coffee shop; way too comfy couches that you don't wanna get off of, indie music playing in the background, and your typical foam art. but I'm not gonna lie, the vanilla latte was awesome! for food... they had a breakfast sandwich that look incredible but i ended up getting the banana bread that was so flavorful and definitely left me wanting more. i will definitely be visiting again but it just sucks that it is unfortunately 30 minutes away from me. 

i had an awesome day drinking an delicious cup of coffee & chatting with some glorious friends. I guess friends and coffee make the perfect blend ;) another adventurous day in the books for 2014. what were some of your adventures?

2014. The Beginning of Something Beautiful

As I sit here watching the Auburn vs. Florida football game trying to kill time until the Bachelor is on.  With a cup of coffee in my hand, (don't worry its decaf- hopefully i'll sleep tonight), and my sleepy puppy laying by my side, I couldn't help but right another blog- Just trying to catch up on the loss days. 

While watching the football game, I started to think about New Years Resolutions, thinking about the ones I had for the year of 2014. For this year, I wanted my resolutions to be different from the past years. I feel like people always create them on December 31 and by January 1 they already break half of them. Am I right!? I was one of them. I would simple forget about the list I had created but I new that this year I would do something different. And I did. As I was making the list I wanted to make the simpler and easier to achieve. For instance, I was NOT going to put "lose 40 pounds" because I knew I wouldn't accomplish that. So I thought about it and what I wanted for me and my life this year.  

New Years Resolutions 2014

1. be happier with your life
2. smile more
3. read the bible daily
4. love
5. grow deeper in your faith
6. be adventurous 
7. be healthy
8. have fun, you're only young once
9. laugh on the daily
10. be in the moment not on your phone

I hope my list inspired you to make a sensible resolution list for 2o14 that you can accomplish. I would love to hear whats on your list! Please share. Blessings to all.

Resolution

We are three days into 2014. Thinking about this scares me a little, I'm not going to lie. But with a new year comes new goals, new things you want to accomplish, and new ideas. One goal that I want to accomplish this year in 2014 is to.. RELAX. 

I am the queen of worrying & stress. I want to work on trying to relax and enjoy what's around me. I want to be able to appreciate the life I have. However, for me. It's hard to do that when school, work, family, relationships, and money are always on my mind. I think everyone can relate one way or another with me. We all tend to stress out some point in our lives. Stress=not good. So I want to relax more. Hopefully I will be able to accomplish this! Sooo.. Take a deep breathe and just simply enjoy what you have, who you are, the things & people around you. 

Relax.
