Self care is a must have ☕️

On today’s self care activities I started a new book and stopped at Dutch.

Current book: Last seen by J.T. Elison

What I order: Dirty chai with 1 shot of espresso

Why I like it: It’s an after work drink with not a lot of caffeine but enough to get me through the day since I wake up early.

Tips: Add soft top to make it creamier and some vanilla for that extra sweetness ☕️

... Read moreTaking time for self-care is essential, and combining a beloved book with a comforting drink can elevate this experience even more. "Last Seen" by J.T. Ellison, a New York Times bestselling author known for thrilling storytelling, offers an engaging escape that perfectly complements relaxing moments. Readers often find that immersing themselves in a captivating book helps reduce stress and enhances mental well-being. A favorite beverage to accompany such reading sessions is the dirty chai latte—a blend of spicy chai tea and a shot of espresso. This drink is ideal for individuals who want a moderate caffeine boost after a long day, especially if they start their mornings early. Adding a soft top creates a creamy texture that feels indulgent, while including vanilla adds a touch of sweetness that balances the spices perfectly. For those seeking a community experience, joining book clubs like #lemon8bookclub or engaging with the #booktok community can offer recommendations, discussions, and a shared enthusiasm for reading. Purchasing physical copies from local bookstores, such as Powell's City of Books, supports independent shops and enriches the reading culture. Incorporating these elements into your self-care routine not only nurtures your mind but also creates a comforting ritual that helps you unwind and recharge. Whether it’s savoring the balanced flavors of a dirty chai or getting lost in the suspenseful pages of J.T. Ellison’s novel, these simple pleasures can profoundly impact your well-being.
