10 Drinks That Are Almost As Good As Coffee

Because sadly, coffee makes some people break out. *cries*

10 Drinks That Are Almost As Good As Coffee
Wikipedia

Confession: This past semester, I became obsessed with coffee. I drank so much coffee that I eventually could sleep right after drinking it because I was so used to having caffeine in my system. While I really loved coffee (the hazelnut one in the dining hall is actually pretty good, just so you guys know), I finally realized last week that it was contributing to a bunch of new breakouts that I was getting. Much to my disappointment, I finally realized two days ago that I needed to cut coffee out of my life—at least for a while—in order to let my skin take a break.

I was a tea drinker before this last semester, but now most tea just tastes kind of bland. I am now on the hunt to find new and comforting drinks, so here are some that are almost as good as coffee:

1. The Republic of Tea Cardamon Cinnamon Herbal Tea Bags


This tea is almost spicy and just tastes like it's good for the soul.

2. Matcha Green Tea

Matcha is a grassier, fuller tea, so it is actually almost—not really—kind of like coffee. You could also mix it with milk to make matcha lattes.

3. The Medford (London) Fog

This earl grey latte is great to wake you up and has sugary vanilla syrup.

4. Hot Chocolate

It's not like sugary drinks are good for your skin, but at least this doesn't have caffeine.

5. Jasmine tea

Besides tasting good, jasmine tea is actually really good for you health wise, and can help you sleep better.

6. Chai

I'm not talking about Starbucks Chai tea lattes here, but actual authentic chai tea, which is beautiful. Here's a recipe.

7. Maple Spiced Almond Milk

I've never actually tried this before, but it sounds fantastic.

8. Mexican Spiced Hot Chocolate


Yeah, it's not healthy, but it has cayenne pepper, so whatever.

9. Pumpkin Spice Tea

Why would you drink Pumpkin Spice Latte's when you could drink this tea? (Just kidding, I'd rather drink the latte. However, if you want to be healthier, tea's a great option!)

10. "Get Gorgeous" Tea


Instead of drinking coffee, which can make breakouts worse, you could actually drink a tea that helps your skin—who knew?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
