My Morning Cup O’ Joe
So I must have coffee every morning. Well, not just “any” coffee, it has to be Nespresso espresso. I’ve become a coffee snob, yes folks a coffee snob. Peet’s and Starbucks just doesn’t cut it anymore. Starbucks cappuccino’s are watered down and Peet’s Coffee is just rocket fuel in a cup, rather unpleasant if you like a nice rich flavored Cappuccino. All of this is my friend Delia’s fault. I blame her for my coffee snobbery. She introduced me to my first heavenly espresso about 3 years ago and ever since then I can’t turn back.
Their espresso’s are rich and have several notes in them depending on the variety that you choose. I always opt for Cappucinno’s or Latte’s because I love my frothy soy goodness mixed with different flavor Torani syrups. Some of my favorite combinations have been peanut butter and blackberry (PBJ), chocolate and coconut (yum) or banana cupcake (double yum). I have about 15 different syrups that I experiment with so every morning I have something different.
Right now I just enjoyed a peanut butter and vanilla cappuccino with a dusting of chocolate powder (image above) and now I’m ready to start my day.

♥ Yogurt
I had a wonderful healthy breakfast this morning using Organic Soy yogurt and Blackberries. I’ve never tried Soy yogurt before so when I found Wholesoy on one of my trips to Whole Foods I decided to give it a try. I bought the plain variety and added my blackberries and sprinkled them with Organic Raw Sugar as well as a little bit of Honey. Very fabulous way to start the day.
De Beaux Souvenirs
De Beaux Souvenirs has the most wonderful home accessories that are hand sculpted by French designer Claire Rougerie. I love the old world, vintage and rustic feel of her art. De Beaux Souvenirs was featured in the French magazine “Marie Claire idées” in the January issue 2010 and I can see why.
