DEAR COFFEE:

I think I must be really craving caffeine this morning (and thinking about My  Dear Coffee posts from a while ago), because I decided to write this letter to my trusty friend, coffee.Dear Coffee…It’s been a while since I have posted about coffee on here, but by now you should know that I really love you. LOL, so I really do think about you a lot. But today I want to chat about how I have a whole latte love for your cousin, the latte…See, coffee, I really love you but I’m also super into lattes right now. They’re made with a shot of espresso (or two or three if you are really needing a boost!) and steamed milk, which is foamy and delicious. Lately I’ve seen so many different latte options at coffee places around White Rock and I’m interested to try them. You can get a latte with whole milk, nonfat milk, soy milk, almond milk, and even coconut milk at some places. And on top of that, there are tons of flavors out there like vanilla, chocolate, hazelnut, and many more. So basically there are so many ways to customize your latte.Anyways, coffee, I don’t want you to think I don’t love you still—I do! I’m just having a bit of a latte moment. But you will always be my first true love :)xoxo,Sharlene (and all my latte lovers out there!)Soooo basically this morning is off to a great start. LOL!What’s your favorite coffee drink of all time?Share your silly thoughts and letters in the comments below!xoxoSharlene

I Need Some Coffee Loving...

I never thought I’d say this, but I am really loving coffee these days. I just started drinking it randomly a while back and now I probably have a cup every morning. I even find myself craving the taste when I wake up and now I have a cup pretty much every morning.

 I guess you could say my coffee habit was inevitable considering my mother has one of those super easy to use kettle thing. Since it's is so simple, I haven’t had to learn how to make coffee the traditional way. I just buy the little coffee cans, pop some in my cute little Disney mugs and voila—I have a deliciously yummy cup of hot coffee. I like French Vanilla coffee mix that you can buy from Tim hortens or I like nestle coffee powder with some French vanilla flavoured syrup and a splash of milk.

When I’m craving something a little sweeter I use almond milk since it definitely gives it a nice warm nutty flavor. I also add in some sugar too, which add a tad of sweetness as well. But if I'm making the coffee then I make it pretty darn strong. I really like the almond milk and FV syrup combination because it makes me feel like I’m drinking a super sugary, Starbucks-like drink that’s actually a lot more healthier than it tastes. Recently, I’ve dabbled into iced coffee when I’m out and about with friends, but I’m still not hooked on them yet. Usually I only drink them when my friends get one… Maybe it will catch on soon? Do you drink iced coffee? If so, any suggestions for me?

I used to live Timmies Iced caps and now I prefer the Regular McDonalds Iced Coffee's!

apple juice gives me strength.

YUM

I've been surviving off of burgers and hot chocolate (not together) for a week. By.... choice.
By the way, I make the best Hot Chocolate in the world and I shamelessly brag about it.

my secret?? This bad ass right here:
