Last year, I did a segment called Favorite Things Friday, where I did a round-up of all sorts of things- quotes, cool products, my favorite bloggers, etc. I took a break from those posts, but have decided to revamp a little bit and see what you guys think! So after reading this post, I'd love some feedback in the comment section.
All Things Coffee
This week, I want to talk about coffee! You know, that sweet nectar of life that brings joy, alertness, and bliss to taste-buds? Yes, that's the one!
Everyone picks on me for my coffee habits. They say, "why don't you just drink soda or tea instead?"- B L A S P H E M Y ! It's not all about the caffeine, though that helps. Coffee is a ritual, a tradition that ushers in each day. When I have time to sit quietly, drinking my coffee, and blogging, things go much more smoothly.
1.) D.I.Y Coffee Bar!
Life Made Lovely |
I've wanted a coffee bar in my home for a while, but just don't have the right place for it right now. I've seen a lot of cute one's out there, but I love the way this one is done- the white brick, the teal cabinet, the eclectic jars and mugs, and a microwave, just in case you need to heat your coffee a little more! Perfect-o, if you ask me!
2.) Cute Mugs
Find them here! |
3.) Flavored Coffee
Sometimes, people get a little snobby about their coffee. It has to be bold, smooth, and pure. Well, all those things are wonderfully delicious, but I can also fully get on board with flavored-coffee-goodness.
My favorite at the moment is Mocha- Coconut K-cups (made by The Donut Shop brand), and then I add some hazelnut creamer. It takes like a chocolate-y, tropical paradise. I discovered this combo over the summer, and I seriously cannot quit. Trust me, if you haven't already, give it a try.
I also really love the Cinnabon K-cups, but who wouldn't?! I do try to stay away from those though, since it is light roast coffee (which means they have more caffeine).
4.) Homemade Coffee and Coffee Creamer Recipe Roundup
We all love Pinterest, right? And one of my favorite things to see on Pinterest is a good coffee drink recipe. So here are a few that look pretty dang amazing to me!
So what did you think of the new Favorite Things Friday? Do you love coffee as much as I do? What is your favorite way to drink it? Comment below.
Baby animals always cheer me up. How cute are they?!!

Yeah! Those quotes really stuck out to me during the week <3
DeleteLOVE THIS! :) I also love collecting cool coffee mugs...I never plan it, I just pick them up wherever I find one that "calls to me" haha. My boyfriend says I have too many too--not possible! I'll have to try you homemade recipes, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes! Same. It is never planned for me either! It just happens. lol
DeleteSaw the title and had to click :) Mmm coffee! I can't wait to have my own coffee bar some day. Happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteI know, right! I would have been the same way if it was someone else's post :)
DeleteTotally love coffee! Hot, cold, in my smoothie, etc. Recently I've been putting my postworkout powder in it (it's chocolate!), and it basically gives me a healthy morning mocha! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI love it too! Hot in the morning, cold in the afternoon :)
DeleteYes! Coffee everything! I've only had one cup today, so I'm kinda sad about that. It's time for more! And you can never have too many coffee mugs. My husband tries tell me that all the time, too. I feel like I just found a coffee soul mate! :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I will definitely be your coffee soul mate! We all need one of those!
DeleteMugs and k-cups are the best! I love me some iced coffee :)
ReplyDeletesmalltownsandcitylights.com
For sure! I feel the same way!
DeleteWhat a gorgeous coffee bar! I don't drink coffee, but some of the creamer flavors I see in stores these days sound so appealing!
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty awesome!If you drink tea, try brewing black tea very strong and then adding a touch of one of the creamers :)
DeleteAlready planning my future coffee bar for our new place. Cannot wait - it's a must have!
ReplyDeleteComing Up Roses
That's awesome! I cannot wait to have more space for a "proper" one!
DeleteIf only I could have a barista stay with me and make me delicious coffee each morning.
ReplyDeletehaha! You should learn the tricks of the trade!
DeleteCheers to hot coffee from a fellow caffeine addict, um I mean coffee lover ;)
ReplyDeletePeace, Sarah

Bahaha! Yes! Cheers right back to you ;)
DeleteThe Nutella Hazelnut seems like something I need to have in my life as soon as possible. Thanks so much for sharing this post! I found your blog through the Peony Project :) Hope you have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely need the Nutella Hazelnut in your life!!!! :)
DeleteWe have seven different ways to make coffee. It's such a fun hobby to get into. Especially learning about beans and roasting flavors/techniques! Also, you can never have too many cute mugs ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! I would love to pick up a few more brewing methods too!
DeleteFound your post through Blog Boss Babe! Love it! I do not own a Keurig, but my work is getting one so I have been so curious about what kind of K-cups to use. Since you seem to be a coffee expert, and I love flavored coffee, I am going to have to try your suggestions!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nadine! They really are amazing K-cups to try. They are one of my absolute favorites!
DeleteI like Keurigs for convenience, but I actually like a drip pot personally.

I think we're, like, coffee twins. I have a coffee area I'd love to cute up a little bit like that. I am mug-obsessed and my hubby says I have too many too. (Love all those mugs, by the way.) And Coconut Mocha is my faveeee K-cup! :) Now to try those creamers - that Nutella one is calling my name...
