I am one of those people who prefers coffee over tea. Maybe it's because I've been drinking coffee since I was little (don't worry, it was always decaf). As someone who can only drink decaf, I really only drink coffee for the comfort of having a warm drink and for the taste. I know a lot of people think that's strange and wonder why I love the taste of coffee so much, but I just do. I also really love the smell of coffee. It's very relaxing to me.

Whenever I go to grab a cup of coffee or I'm making some at home, I like to look for flavors that are not so common. Seeing as I'm a person who likes to try new things, I never drink the same things all the time. Recently, I was introduced to Bean Box. This a gourmet coffee subscription company from Seattle, WA and, lucky me, they sent me some decaf coffee to try out! (They shipped it within 2 days, I was impressed).

First of all, the way they package their coffee is done so perfectly and it's very organized. Definitely a good representation when opening a package for the first time. I was sent four different types of coffee: Three Ravens Blend Decaf, Ladro Roasting Decaf, Honduras Cocafelol Decaf, and Slate Coffee Roasters Nightcap Decaf. All of them sounded amazing and I didn't know which one I should try first. I opened up each bag to smell to see which one was the most appealing to me. The winner was the Ladro Roasting bag. This has notes of grapefruit, dark chocolate, and hazelnut. I brewed two cups for my dad and I and we were just blown away by the taste and quality. If only you could've seen the looks on our faces when we took that first sip.

We have yet to make it to the other three packs of coffee beans since I can't have too much coffee during the week, but I honestly can't wait to try the rest. My next one that I will make will be the Slate Coffee Roasters Nightcap. The notes in this are semi-sweet chocolate, pecan, and citrus. I have a feeling that I'll love this one.

If you're interested in trying it out, click here and choose your plan, your roast preference, and your payment plan. You will not be disappointed!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
