Happy September, friends. I love this time of year for many reasons, such as the late summer days with their crisp, cool mornings and warm, sunny afternoons. Another thing I really love about September is that parents, especially Moms, get a little break in their busy routines with kids back in school, making it the perfect time to host a coffee gathering! These whimsical Language of Flowers mugs are sure to bring smiles to your guests.
As a blogger and digital content creator, I have the opportunity to try lots of new products that might not normally show up on my shopping radar. June has been bountiful in this department, so I thought it would be fun to start a new (to me) blog series Friday Five! Each month I’ll share five new products I think would be helpful to you as well. This month’s Friday Five is fun foods for summer. I hope you enjoy this new series and these product recommendations.
With another birthday nearing, I decided it was time to make my health and wellness a
priority by moving more, improving my sleep, and like many of you have
discussed on social media, I need to reverse some of the pandemic weight gain
so that I can fully enjoy summer. I read an article about taking a look at what
you do from the very moment you wake up and see if you can make positive changes.
For me that meant overhauling my morning coffee, so when Viva Naturals offered
to send me their MCT Oil for review, I took it as a sign to give coffee with
organic MCT oil a try.
