Beautiful Mornings Deserve Strong Coffee!

Quote of the Day:

“Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise” -George Washington Carver

...It's pretty amazing how one day it can be so cold, rainy, icy, and just a simple day that should be focused on relaxing, cuddling, and schnuggling and then the next morning is absolutely Beautiful! The sunrise - amazing with its bright pinks and oranges, and the roads all clear of any ice worry. :) Enjoy these beautiful mornings!!

Nessa's Beauty Tip of the Day:
Coffee. One cup. Not much sugar or fattening creams. But coffee. It is good for the mind, body, and soul.

1. Cancer... "Coffee is a widely consumed beverage worldwide and a growing body of scientific research indicates that coffee consumption does not have a harmful effect in relation to risk of cancer and there is substantial research pointing to its favorable influence on risk of some cancers."
2. Exercise... "Research shows that caffeine is an ergogenic aid and helps to improve muscular work capacity in most if not all exercises."
3. Hydration... "A moderate intake of coffee and other caffeinated drinks does not lead to dehydration and may count towards our daily fluid intake."
4. Safe driving... "Much research has been undertaken to find out the best way of alleviating sleepiness among drivers. Some laboratory studies show that moderate amounts of caffeine, 100-200 mg (approximately one or two regular sized cups of coffee), significantly improved alertness in sleepy subjects."

So, don't be afraid that caffeine in coffee will harm you... in many ways, it will actually aid you. And one last thing that a wise woman once told me: "Lattes and cappuccinos may taste more yummy than regular coffee and even though lattes have espresso in them, an actual cup of coffee has more caffeine in it than a latte." So, don't be fulled. If you want that healthy drink that will boost you up for your day as well as give you added benefits - drink one cup of coffee a day. :)


Much love, Nessa xoxo
