Short & Sweet - Sunrise, Starbucks, & States

In my Short & Sweet post last week, I challenged myself to wake up at 6:15 each morning this week and enjoy the sunrise, a nutritious breakfast, and take my time getting ready.  For 5 straight days now, I've done just that.  I can honestly say that waking up early, having breakfast at home, and taking my time to get ready have truly had an impact on my outlook for the day and my productivity level.  I've noticed how much more attentive I've been at work, I've felt less stressed and rushed to get things done, and I've had a more productive workout in the afternoon as well.  Hopefully I can keep this new routine up as the weeks go on.


Ah...the power of Starbucks.  Whether it's a frappuccino to start your day off right or a latte to keep you going till 5:00, Starbucks is definitely a pick-me-up.  If you frequent Starbucks, I would highly suggest you sign up for Starbucks Rewards.  I usually get a weekly email that ranges from a free breakfast sandwich to 25% off a drink.  Who doesn't love free Starbucks?!?


The Virginia state canvas is officially complete!  It took a bit of tweaking from my original plan, but I must say that it looks amazing!  Can't wait to finish Tennessee and Connecticut to complete the gallery wall.

  1. I just signed up for Starbucks Reward right now. I can't believe I didn't know about this before. I wish I could be one of those people that got up early! I've noticed that the earlier I wake up, the more that I get done around the apartment.
