Mommy Needs Her Coffee #GiveACup

I shared this post as part of a campaign for Peet's Coffee. I receive a promotional item as a thank you. All opinions are 100% my own.

I LOVE coffee. I was never a coffee drinker before I had my daughter though. I started really drinking coffee when she was about a year old and I started watching my friend's daughter. I have NO idea how working mama's don't drink coffee and how I ever went without it. Do I have an addiction? Maybe a slight one, but I'm okay with it!

I love my Keurig and the fact that Peet's Single Cups have arrived! Anyone who drinks Peet’s coffee knows how uncompromising they are when it comes to flavor. So when they started working on their Single Cups, they took their time – 5 years, to be exact! They worked to perfect each blend, using more coffee than most, designing a specific dose for each blend, and using a different kind of filter than allows more flavor to pass into the cup.

And now they’re HERE! And to celebrate this journey, Peet’s has launched Give A Cup – the Internet’s very first social sampling experiment! Here’s how it works. Each week, you can go to doyougiveacup.com and vote on a topic. The topics are fun, current and sometimes a bit quirky. Your votes determine where Peet’s hosts their sampling events each week!

So what do you give a cup about?

Working Out In Style #EllieAmbassador

I am sharing this review as part of being an Ellie Ambassador. I received the outfit for free to review, but all opinions are my own.

Ellie.com Review

I have seen Ellie Active Wear around the web and I always LOVED their stuff but I honestly never thought that I could look good wearing such snug work out clothes. So when I was offered the opportunity to review an outfit as an Ellie Ambassador, I jumped at the opportunity. As you might know, I have been on a weightloss journey so I won't have the blood pressure issues that I had during my first pregnancy when we decide to try for baby number two.

Ellie.com Review

Ellie makes me feel sexy while I'm working out. My friend even said how cute I looked. I love how breathable the material is. Ellie activewear is comfortable and stylish, what every working out mama needs. Ellie is an activewear brand designed for women that is both high quality and reasonably priced. The way it works is members answer a simple style quiz about their fashion and lifestyle preferences, and Ellie’s stylists will send a once-a-month customized case of workout gear. Members can join the FitFashionista club and choose two pieces per month for just $49.95.

My issue with the top is that it was dry clean only. Who has time for that with their work out clothes? I washed the top and let it air dry and that seemed to work just fine. I didn't read the instructions properly before I washed the pants and they are unraveling, my bad. I love my outfit either way and am exited that I received this opportunity.
