If you’ve been following me for a hot second, you know I like my coffee and lots of it! I like trying a new coffee spot as much as I like getting my hair color which is saying a lot! There’s something about the steady hum of the roasters and espresso machines that maks me focused and productive.

Read MoreI take my mornings very seriously. And because I am NOT a morning person...you better not mess with my rituals which include, but are not limited to, coffee, coffee, coffee and a delicious pastry.
