In What’s the Deal with “Skinny” Coffee?, I brought up the new trend of “skinny” coffee, also advertised as keto coffee, fit coffee, detox coffee, etc. As a coffee lover short on time, I thought it was only right to try it myself. I mentioned […]

As my first “getaway” weekend trip in 2018, we made the drive to Raleigh, North Carolina for a change of scenery. With traffic from Baltimore, Maryland, the trip was about five hours each way. The long drive was well worth it! Having booked accommodations the day of travel, we stayed in the town of Cary. The […]

As someone active on social media, I have noticed a recent surge in the advertising of health and fitness products. One of my more recent discoveries has been of powdered “health” or “skinny” coffee.

Hello there! To start this post, I would like to wish happy holidays to everyone celebrating during this time.

Happy Tuesday! For those of you returning to work from the long Thanksgiving Weekend – hang in there. For this month’s We Are the World Blogfest (WATWB) post, I would like to share a rather somber and politically-charged story with a silver lining. The story, recently posted by the Washington Post, is that of a German […]

Hello Everyone! This month’s We Are the World Blogfest (WATWB) post is dedicated to my hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. As a four-year resident of the neighborhood of Pigtown in Baltimore, I am always inspired by local efforts to beautify our Baltimore communities. This article from none other than The Baltimore Sun features the work of artist Tamara […]

This short post highlights an equally brief “Girls’ Trip” to Key West not too long before the hurricanes devastated the Florida Keys, Caribbean islands, and other surrounding areas. Just two days after our travel to Key West, the Florida Keys were evacuated. We hope that this will inspire you to take the journey to the areas impacted […]

We have arrived! The “Coffee” portion of Life. Travel. Coffee. (Have you noticed the pattern yet?) Please accept our apologies for the wait – that will be addressed more in the next post. In the meantime, let’s get started with today’s discussion on home coffee brewing. For me, life is fueled by caffeine – probably […]
