What is your favorite way to enjoy a cup of tea? Everyone has a unique way of enjoying tea, as well as their own individual preference for tea times and tea types—whether you enjoy your favorite cup as a morning pick me up, when socializing with family and friends, to relax before bed, or on vacation. For me, there's nothing better on a cold, winter day than curling up on the couch with a cup of hot tea! I love hot tea and there are so many delicious varieties available to us these days! Lately, I tend to reach for Green Tea, as it is soothing and I love the taste!

I'm Running on Dunkin' Donuts This Holiday Season! 

(i received a gift card to faciliate my review for this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Please see my disclosure policy)

I don't know about you, but I am officially in holiday mode right now! It has been a busy few weeks planning and preparing for Christmas and finishing up some last-minute work projects for 2017. I think that it is safe to say I am running on Dunkin' Donuts! I have stopped by Dunkin' Donuts several times these last few weeks to fuel up on my favorite holiday-flavored coffees and lattes! 

I love the new holiday-themed flavors this year! Peppermint Mocha, my personal fave, combines cool peppermint and rich chocolate flavors. The Brown Sugar Cinnamon, brings together the sweet taste of brown sugar and the flavor of cinnamon. Both flavors are available in Dunkin’ Donuts’ hot or iced coffees, lattes, macchiatos and Frozen Dunkin’ Coffee. In addition, Dunkin' has brought back their festive holiday cups. This year, they feature a festive design and the simple word, “Joy” to convey the happiness and spirit of the season. This year’s design incorporates seasonal graphic icons like snowflakes, peppermints, holly leaves and holiday trees to stir up the warm, nostalgic feelings associated with this special time of year.

If you are a Dunkin' Donuts doughnut lover, they have something for you as well! A holiday trio of seasonal donuts, highlights Dunkin’s merry menu. The new Frosted Sugar Cookie Donut is a frosted donut with cookie dough flavored filling and topped with crumbled frosted sugar cookies, while the new Gingerbread Cookie Donut features a caramel frosted donut sprinkled with ginger snap cookie topping. Dunkin’ Donuts also has the Snowflake Sprinkle Donut, a frosted donut with red icing and special snowflake sprinkles, and Snowflake Sprinkle MUNCHKINS, featuring the brand’s chocolate glazed MUNCHKINS donut hole treats rolled in snowflake sprinkles.

Be sure to stop by your local Dunkin' Donuts while you are out with friends and family this holiday season and fuel up on these delicious treats!

Nutrisystem Update: #NSNation #ad

Disclosure: I have been selected to be a part of the Nutrisystem Nation Blogger Program for the next 3 months in return for my honest opinion and review. All opinions are 100% mine.

(photo credit)

I know that it has been a few weeks since my last Nutrisystem update. I wanted to take a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of the holidays to share a recent update and to share with you a few thoughts that I have been pondering on lately. 

First of all, let me begin by saying that being on a weight-loss plan this time of the year is definitely not for the faint of heart. I am not going to lie. First of all Thanksgiving and now Christmas! While I did not totally veer off-track from my Nutrisystem plan, I have made a few bad food choices along the way and I have not been as consistent with my water intake. I am sharing my honesty with you so that you can see I am human and will make mistakes. BUT, I am back on track this week! The last time I got on the scale I was down 12 pounds. I am going to wait until Monday to get back on the scale to see where I am. I have a goal of at least 20 pounds so I am still on track for my goal! I love the quote above from Bo Jackson, "Set your goals high, and don't stop till you get there." My goal is a high one and I know that I am going to achieve it! 

Nutrisystem is such a great program and one of my favorite things is that all the food prep is pretty much already done for you. You don't have to think about what you will eat for breakast, lunch or dinner. The only thing that you have to do is to decide which delicious entree that you will eat for those meals. (and your snacks in-between) Oh, and don't forget that you get to eat a delicious snack each night! Score!! Look what I had for dinner tonight! My Nutrisystem Chicken Parmesan entree and roasted zucchini in the oven. So delicious and filling! 

Stay Focused- Remember, weight loss is a marathon towards your goals and not a sprint. Staying focused means being prepared for the unexpected. Nutrisystem is preparing me for healthy and attainable goals after I finish the program. I am finding myself making wise food choices when I have to eat out or having a flex meal at home. I am proud of myself for making these choices and it makes me feel so good! 

Want to get healthy and lose weight on Nutrisystem? GO HERE to take 40% off!
