Well, it's finally the end of what felt like a forever month- maybe I don't know? Anyways, it's time for me to share what were my favorites this month- so I'm going to share it for you all today. This month I hadn't felt as much joy but tried to incorporate it in small amounts in my everyday life whenever possible. Let's get into it!
Favorite Coffees (whole bean + Nespresso favorites- might include the Nespresso faves in every other month for you guys):
Canyon Organic Whole Bean Beachwood Coffee (link- http://canyoncoffee.co/products/beachwood): this was such a smooth coffee and the milk chocolate and caramel notes are more pronounced when you add to milk to it. Delicious as a homemade cold brew coffee, too!
Tower 15 Daybreak Whole Bean Coffee (link-http://www.tower15coffee.com/products/daybreak): this was such a unique coffee to try- notes of apple, toffee, and brown sugar- the sweetness notes in the coffee wasn't overpowering either.
Nespresso Pod Favorites: Nespresso Esperanza De Colombia Coffee (the fruity undertones in this pod were nice and the coffee alone was smooth- was hesitant to try this one as I'm not crazy about fruity notes in coffee): link- http://www.nespresso.com/us/en/order/capsules/vertuo/vertuo-esperanza-de-colombia-coffee-pods
The free samples I ended up liking in my most recent Nespresso order: Costa Rica Gran Lungo (it's an americano inspired pod- it was perfectly smooth and "clean" tasting if that is such a thing) + Colombian Coffee Pod (perfectly smooth- enough said). link #1 (Costa Rica Gran Lungo): http://www.nespresso.com/us/en/order/capsules/vertuo/costa-rica-vertuo-coffee-pods; link #2 (Colombian coffee): http://www.nespresso.com/us/en/order/capsules/vertuo/master-origin-colombia-vertuo-coffee-pods
Favorite New Coffee Appliance (found this item at Marshall's so I don't know if I will be available to link it):
A French Press- been learning to use one as I've never owned one myself before- also if you do have one- do use coarsely ground coffee- nothing too fine as it's not recommended.
Favorite Music:
"Shelter" by MOD SUN ft. Avril Lavigne: https://youtu.be/qYIlAuAilq4
"Yeah Yeah Yeah" by Cayucas: https://youtu.be/MXFcaW2jrOY

Favorite Memories/Highlights:
Visiting my mom and sister in VA- also got to see my new baby cousin Mario James within that trip too!
Favorite Thing I Streamed This Month:
"Your Place or Mine"- a cute rom-com with Ashton Kutcher + Reese Witherspoon on Netflix (enjoyed all the romantic stuff and all the humor in it).
I hope you enjoyed reading this month's favorite post- if you not been feeling the joy lately go out today and do something that sparks that joy! Just do it!
-Love, Lauren-
