After a long year of mindlessly drinking pre-ground french press or instant (shame me) coffee, it felt like a tiring morning task to get me through the day. Recently my friend convinced me to put more love into making my morning cup of coffee. That means hand grinding and measuring my beans to make sure that I can make a consistently tasty cup every single time. It all started with this JavaPresse hand grinder for the beans, and an Aeropress coffee maker brewed using the inverted method for consistency. The difference in smell and taste is remarkable, and I don't think I'll ever settle for less. Sure it takes more time and effort, but it has become a healthy and refreshing self care routine to kick the day.

sometimes being a coffee snob feels so good. making yourself a pourover at home instead of spending money at a cafe can be so special, something about taking the extra time and being meticulous with it feels really grounding

then making it every day for the next year. this is the best way to become dependent on caffeine with the added benefit of knowing how to make your own coffee. it's not nearly the same as drinking an energy drink or preworkout, but there's an artisanal quality to it that makes life worth living.

How does one slog through the diurnal despair? The sickness unto death? The quotidian fear and trembling? It’s simple: v60, simple burr grinder, single origin coffee beans, spring water, heat source, and a scale. This is, truly, what brings me joy. What brings me hope. I know, before I go to sleep each night, that awaiting me the next day is a cup(s) of Joe that rivals anything being served in “specialty coffee shops” all across the world. Seriously. It’s the ritual. I recommend tradecoffee for ur beans. Godbless

While everyone is raving about their trendy nonstick pans, I’m here to bring the spotlight back to cast iron cookware. There’s a huge stigma around how hard it is to take care of cast irons, but it’s really not bad! You just gotta keep using it, and over time, it basically becomes nonstick. This article has sent off a tangent, and now I am a proud owner of a well-seasoned cast iron pan and griddle.

I’ve never been to Disney as a kid and as I grew older I always felt like I was too old for it. I spontaneously tagged along with my family the day before they left and I think that was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m a huge fan of Star Wars and Avatar, and even as an adult I think I had the best week of my life and I felt like a kid again. I legitimately had real tears of joy on some of the rides. It’s never too late!

Antique shops have a special place in my heart because it reminds me of my childhood road trips. When I was little, I always thought antique shops were just useless junk. As I grew older, I’ve learned to appreciate the “junk” a bit more. Browsing through the aisles, they kind of feel like a time machine. My top things to look out for are vintage cameras, dutch ovens, and vintage porcelain.
