Today officially feels like the first day of waking up to Daylight Savings, because let's be honest, I was in no rush to wake up early yesterday morning. But, this morning, I had to wake up early so I could enjoy my new tea!
Ok, I actually didn't wake up just to enjoy my tea. I like to get a head start on my morning by organizing my work cut out for me that day or week (can you say list-making?!), get lecture notes printed and trying to get some homework questions done for my chem course, if I can!
I did have to drink the tea this morning though. Reason? I got a total score on it yesterday. Listen to this breakdown:
Originally $5.79, on blowout sale for $2.99, plus I had a $2 off coupon. You do the math people. It was impossible to pass up and it was delicious. Extreme Couponers...watch out!
You know what else was impossible to pass up yesterday? A pomegranate.
I haven't expressed my obsession with pomegranates on this blog yet only because they have not been available (or someone has been hiding them!) for a looooong time at the grocery stores in my town. My mouth almost dropped to the floor when I found them yesterday during our grocery run. Let's just say this thing didn't last long...at all. I, of course, gave myself the half that I felt had more arils than the husband's. It was gone in about 5 minutes flat.
Although it was expensive (I doubt anyone else would be as crazy as me to pay the amount they were), it was worth it, but unfortunately, I cannot buy 5 of them in a week like I used to when they were half the price.
It's totally what helped with the easy rising this morning! Read: I think pomegranates are the secret drug to staying healthy...I'm not kidding.
Since I'm done the rising part (I'm actually on campus now!), I still have the 'shining' part to fulfill. So, in the spirit of my larabar giveaway, I decided to indulge myself and bring one for my lunch. Blueberry Muffin sure does make me (or anyone) shine because it's sooooo delicious!
There you have it. Happy Monday!
QUESTION: What helps you rise and shine each morning?!
