I slept 12 hours last night, and I'm still tired. We had a really fun weekend I went to breakfast yesterday at like 10. I came home, and I was just like lazy all day And I slept for 12 hours We went to Billy Bob's if you guys saw that on Instagram with a party bus or in the last vlog It was so much fun. I went to breakfast stuff yesterday, and then I slept for 12 hours last night, and I'm somehow still tired Isn't that fun? So I walked the dogs Showered, and I want to make breakfast and do my cute little morning routine that I always eat my coffee for this So that's what we're doing. Okay. I'm so tired. We're gonna make coffee right now because I need it So this is CVS pharmacies new exclusive gold emblem fair trade certified coffee They have a variety of different flavors as well as forms because these coffees are fair trade certified I feel good knowing that these products empower farmers and also protect the environment, which is so important Okay, also something else I love about these is that proceeds from the purchase of these coffees Also find initiatives like training in sustainable coffee production Healthcare services and scholarship programs, which is really cool These are also at an affordable price with larger value size options available, which is awesome They have great flavors like donut shop, Colombian french vanilla and french roast And you can only find these gold emblem fair trade certified coffees at CVS and because so many of us live near CVS It's super convenient this morning.

I'm gonna go with donut shop It smells so good So every morning over coffee. I do my morning reading. I go through like whatever kind of book I'm reading at the moment right now. I'm going through 101 essays that will change the way you think It's really good. And then I also journal and a lot of the times I like take notes on things or whatever So this coffee line is available at CVS. You guys can shop online or in store I'm just gonna do my little like morning routine morning reading thing over coffee You guys know I am a creature of habit and routine And I always grew up with my dad having coffee with him and he'll be reading in the morning So it's something that I just carried on as my own routine as a young adult So that's what we're doing this morning It takes me like an hour to drink my coffee. I need to answer some emails. I'm gonna listen to podcast Finishing in my coffee and then I need to record for this week's episode And then I have my Monday errands next week.

I'm vlogging But I just really like using Mondays like prep my week make sure everything is set and then Monday nights I typically like to be very antisocial and read for like four hours So I'm looking forward to that I was staying in this area because it's kind of far from my house and I was waiting for the photos to get developed And it's the one place that I can develop Disposables that's like within like one or two hours. So I called them to check in that does Disposable developing fast photographing right now is like a week and a half out And like I just am so impatient. I'm gonna drive home. I just need like a nice Relaxing like refreshing day. It's a late afternoon. I ordered some lunch from a calisthenic. I have some sweet tea here I'm calm below if you like sweet tea. I think it's pretty polarizing But you didn't get the move maybe no I don't have a straw Oh, I got two mac and cheese is on accident So Mondays are kind of hard for me to vlog just because I'm pretty much just sitting on my computer and like doing laundry and things That like aren't very exciting But I wanted to give you guys my kind of like productivity Hacks that I do weekly that I found really work for me in my schedule I have a few different things that I do So I try to focus like one day is on filming one day is on editing one day is on podcasting One day is on whatever it is and Mondays are kind of like my mashup day Cocoa just will not stop Okay, so while I eat I'm gonna take a break and watch one tree Hill the other thing That's honestly become the main thing is just making sure that I'm like taking care of myself like today I know that tonight I really just need time to myself and I need to read and do things that like recharge me and refuel me so that I'm ready for Like the later part of the week. That's what I do I'm gonna continue to watch one tree Hill and eat my lunch and then get back on my computer Exciting things I got something on my shirt and my like handyman just came over to Talk about fixing a window and also getting different lighting in this house and also dealing with my like AC stuff guys I just for the life of me.
