Cue the Coffee: January 2020

Word of the Year JOY mug

Hello, and welcome back to the blog! I decided that I wanted to start up a "Coffee Date" weekly blog post basically just rounding up the week with links to everything from new items in the Etsy shop, the new podcast episode from the week, and any other links or products that I've been loving recently!

I had a lot of fun putting together this first Coffee Date post and thinking about my favorite things from the week!

Let me know in the comments what your favorite thing is or if you end up trying anything from this list!

Etsy Fav of the Week:

My Etsy shop favorite of the week is the small "Te Amo" hoodie! I've been wearing it nonstop since I got it in the mail and I just think its the coziest thing ever. I also really like the simplicity of the smaller design in the corner, I think it looks really nice and is easy to pair with some leggings and sneakers for a cozy athleisure look, or your favorite pair of jeans for a more "dressed up" look!

New in the Shop:

Since the last time I wrote a blog post we have released a whole new "self love" collection on Etsy! This collection is focused all on love and self love because we believe that a focus on love doesn't just have to be in February, but it can be celebrated year-round! You can see and shop the new collection here! And below are some of my new favorite designs and items :)

This Week's Podcast Episode:
In the most recent podcast episode I talked about why I like choosing a word of the year, what the story behind my 2020 word of the year is and some helpful tips and tricks to help you pick yours out if you still are deciding!

You can listen with the link below or find it on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, just search "Cue the Coffee".

Five Favorite Finds From the Week:
I recently ordered Body Love by Kelly Leveque on Amazon to learn more about food and nutrition. This book also has a handful of good smoothie and lunch recipes in it that I can't wait to try out! I'm only a couple pages into reading it but already I've learned so much and can't wait to implement my new knowledge into my diet :)

I loved this week's podcast episode from Collin and Bianca's Easy way or Hard Way Podcast that was all about manifestation and gratitude. It inspired me to start a little journal where I can write the manifestations that I want to happen in my life as well as things I'm grateful for that day!

I forgot how much I loved my St. Anne tote from Barrington Gifts! Its huge and fits everything but also looks professional so it's been the perfect tote to take with me to interviews these past couple of weeks!

I got a new candle from Target this past weekend and you need it. Its the "wildberry froze" scent from the opalhouse collection and smells exactly like the blue scooby doo fruit snacks you used to eat when you were younger. I know that's like super specific, but wow its just so good, ha!

My last favorite of the week is...Uno! Lol! My BF and I picked this up on one of many Target runs because we had a pretty bad snow storm and were basically snowed in for the whole day and wanted something to do. We played probably about 5 games of Uno with my dad and it was so fun, I forgot how much I liked it! So, if you're looking for something to keep you and your friends busy this winter, invest the $5.99 and pick up a game of Uno!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great weekend and see ya on Monday!

Hello friends, and happy new year! I hope you all had safe and fun celebrations over the holidays and are refreshed and ready for the new year ahead!

I have been keeping pretty busy lately with Cue the Coffee because there is officially NEW MERCH now available in the Etsy Shop! My sister and I worked together on this new launch and had the fun idea to compile some of our favorite words of the year people have chosen and put those on t-shirts, crew neck sweaters, and coffee mugs! Our idea behind this launch was to give you the opportunity to have an item or piece of clothing that represents what you want to accomplish for the new year ahead, because when you pick your word of the year you want to make sure you write it down and just have it everywhere so you are always motivated to get after it!

In almost all of these designs you can see that we chose to do a repeating design of the word, and this was such a purposeful design pick for us (bonus it's pretty trendy right now too!). We chose to have the words repeat to reinforce the idea that these items are meant to be a constant reminder as to WHY you chose this specific word to help guide you through the new year ahead. I just love how they all turned out so much! We have four available in the shop currently and will be adding a fifth one very soon.

So, without further adieu here are are Word of the Year designs for 2020:
