Tis the season for peppermint mocha lattes and I’m all for making it in the coziness of my own home! ☕️ I just got the @lavazzausa Expert Classy Plus Single Serve Coffee Maker and I am truly obsessed. 😍 It has options for espresso, lungo, and coffee AND 3 different milk based drinks like macchiatos and lattes. Since it has a built-in milk frother all you have to do is pour the milk into the included glass mug, attach it to the machine and select which option suits your fancy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And unlike some of the competitor machines I’ve used, it steams the milk while frothing so it’s truly barista quality.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To make the peppermint mocha, all you need to do is:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎄 Fill the Lavazza frothing mug to the latte line with milk of your choice
🎄Add 1 tsp of cocoa powder
🎄Add ¼ tsp peppermint extract (*optional sweetener of choice)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then just let the Lavazza Classy Plus work its magic! For a little extra sweet treat, I stirred in a chocolate peppermint stick.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This definitely makes a great holiday gift so be sure to SAVE this post to reference when you’re doing your shopping! {ad}
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS: Head to the Lavazza website to save 45% off the Classy Plus machine & 20% off capsules with a subscription! {Plus free shipping} ☕️ #lavazzacoffee #peppermintmocha #blackfridaydeal

Small #healthyhabits for personal growth to get yo

Small #healthyhabits for personal growth to get you one step closer to the person you are wanting to be:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ by setting boundaries with our time & energy, we learn to develop a more solid sense of self that helps us take control of what is important to us
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ continuous learning can help us feel happier, more fulfilled, and open ourselves to new perspectives that give us a bigger picture point of view
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ challenging ourself is one of the best ways to grow, become healthier, learn how to work through failure, and build self esteem
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ physically writing our thoughts, gratitude, and to do lists is a powerful way to track progress, reduce stress, enhance creativity and find inspiration. That’s why I created my Mindful Morning Planner to help promote deeper moments of introspection and self growth
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ engaging in honest self reflection is the only way to process all of your learning experiences and effectively identify the consequences or rewards of your words and actions
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which of these habits are you currently working on?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
{wellness, self care, healthy routine, self growth, personal development, goal setting, well-being}

We hosted our first Phillips Friendsgiving last ni

We hosted our first Phillips Friendsgiving last night in our new home and I still can’t stop smiling. There’s nothing better than bringing friends together, most who were meeting for the first time and enjoying an evening of good food and festive sips 🍷
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are some tips for hosting your own:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🫶🏼 create a Google sheet for food signups so there aren’t any duplicate side dishes or desserts
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🫶🏼 have an icebreaker game (I found this free Thanksgiving “get to know you” themed bingo printout on Pinterest)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🫶🏼 make a tablescape using $3 eucalyptus bundles from TJs, candles, pine cones and pumpkins
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🫶🏼 fold your cloth napkins to look extra fancy
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🫶🏼 have a signature cocktail to greet guests with — we did apple cider mimosas! 🥂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🫶🏼 give everyone takeout containers so they can bring leftovers home with them at the end of the night
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope you find this helpful for your own Thanksgiving get together! #friendsgivingdinner
