For the Love of Blogs

I'm super obsessed with perfecting my at home coffee making because all in all; I am a coffeeholic! A couple of years ago while I was working at a Dunkin Donuts, I was introduced to the famous "Turbo" shots. It's a shot of espresso in your regular coffee (for those who know nothing about coffee!) Hesitantly, I allowed a gal working with me to put one in my iced coffee! Holy Sinfullll. It was amazing. I was now hooked on what she called, "Crack in a Cup!" I'm an all around drinker, so for me trying new kinds of coffee is kinda my thing. While I will say that black coffee is my least favorite, I realize a lot of people LOVE black coffee. If you're trying to behave on calories then my suggestion would be to add a teaspoon or two of sugar and leave it sitting on the bottom of the cup instead of stirring it: it's not bad! if you follow CoffeeAddictMama on Insta, then you may have already watched her video on how to make the best coffee! i...

Typically, I suck when it comes to staging for photos and I really love photos around this time of year, so take a look at some delightful homes for the holidays and share your tips as well! 1.) Don't Go All Out. Keep it simple, elegant and classy. Less is More! 2.) Grab some things that you can mix and match! Nothing has to be the same! 3.) White is Wonderful but add some colors! 4.) I appreciate white backgrounds versus colored because you can see the items you're trying to show off way better! 5.) BRING THE OUTDOORS IN- add some branches or pick a few flowers to throw in an old mug/glass. It's amazing what the nature from outside looks like and it makes you feel tons better! Mood enhancer! 6.) Toss wine into a photo and it's smooth sailing! 7.) Take the photo a little closer, cutting off parts of the item. 8.) Lighting is so important. Dark rooms reek ugly. Open window curtains, blinds and turn the lights on. 9.) Turn off your flash. Better photos are...

Over the years I have been a huge collector of Vintage. My love for it grew when I moved back to NY and found a ton of stuff on the curbs each weekend. People put their leftover sale boxes out and I'd find expensive glassware, dinnerware and just started hoarding like you wouldn't believe. I hit up the local thrift shops every week and came across things I wanted to try. Like this percolator. Being the coffee addict that I am, I decided to try it after I experienced a French Press over the summer and by all means, coffee in anything but a modern day coffee maker is the best! it's simple, easy to make and tastes so rich compared to anything else i've ever made coffee in. You just plug it in and bam....Good Coffee! The Farberware Percolator is fast. There are a few Simple Steps: Open the Lid and Empty the compartments Fill with water to the line Scoop your ground coffee into the filter and then attach the inside water line connector to the bo...
