Today's Cup

I'm sipping on Melita’s Columbian coffee with a dash of almond milk and a teaspoon of honey ☕🍯🥛 this morning. I’ve also added a few drops of this mint CBD oil tincture. Use the promo code BIANCA for 10% off your order. What about you? Let me know in the comments.

The Latest

I’m growing some lavender from Home Depot. I figure I could use it to make tea and fresh garnishes for cocktails. So far, I’m not seeing any progress, but the package said it could take at least thirty days so I’ll give it some more time.

Just tried a new meal kit delivery service last month and the review is already up on the blog, so here’s $40 off your first Sunbasket order. Gobble is still my favorite meal kit subscription, but I just like trying new meal delivery services. I look forward to your dish pics so please email them or comment below.

The Best

I’ve been catching up on my favorite Netflix shows again, picking up new shows like Money Heist. So good! I also recommend Behind Her Eyes and Ratched, which is sort of a prequel to One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

Now that the weather is warmer, I’ve been going for more walks in the morning whenever it’s not raining. But since it’s that time of year, I’ve also been doing lots of “Spring Cleaning,” donating my clothes to the Bottomless Closet, but also a sustainable fashion company that rewards you for recycling your clothing called ThredUp. This one’s new for me, so stay tuned for a blog post sharing my experience, because as you can see Poshmark isn’t really working for me. It’s amazing how many clothing items are sitting in my closet that I either don’t wear or still have the tags on them.

The Most

I have been doing the most with my morning coffee routine, since the beginning of the quarantine last year. I’ve got all kinds of coffee making accessories for pour over induced coffee drinks. There are so many different non-dairy and powdered collagen creamers. I’ve been cleaning out my closet like no tomorrow. Check out my recent post on three of my favorite coffee additives. Plus, this year has been such a great time for me to purge unwanted clothes from my closet, which I donated to my local Dress for Success chapter.

Q&A

These questions are from email newsletter replies and my social media inboxes, mostly Instagram. Just one this month.

Do you actually take that collagen stuff EVERY single day? (IG DM) Yes, I do take Trim and Biocell (aka liquid collagen) EVERY single day. It's just part of my daily routine, just like any other vitamins and supplements I take.

The Not-So-Great

I put all of the weight I lost last month back on, so I’m hitting the gym extra hard again before Summer gets here. Nothing more to the story… Just too much alcohol, fast food, and eating out. My daily goals are basically a one hour workout and 20k steps, so we’ll see how it goes.
