Nespresso Love

Well I think I have officially converted from Keurig to Nespresso. As a massive coffee lover, I have been eyeing up the Nespresso line for the past couple of months. The name 'Nespresso' itself has been floating around the net for a while, so I knew I just had to check it out! The VertuoLine was what caught my eye at first because it has the ability to make both top-of-the-line coffee and espresso in one machine.

In literally the push of a button, you can enjoy a beautiful cup of coffee; this is definitely my kind of style when it's 6am and I have to go to school or work that morning. I purchased the VertuoLine with the Aeroccino so I can make some fancy drinks when I want to treat myself. Ever since I visited a specialty coffee shop in Toronto (Dineen Coffee Co.), coffee was never the same until now. Although I can't make a fancy design just yet, I'll be sure to practice like a true barista... Ha!

The machine itself is perfect if you don't have a lot of counter space! It is actually a lot smaller than the Keurig! The machine also has a choice of colours. I was in love with the chrome, but was soon worried about finger prints showing up every time you touched the thing! The next best was the black, which I chose. It still looks sleek, but it won't show the finger prints as badly. Then there was red, which wasn't the most suitable colour for my kitchen!

Here's the beauty Aeroccino machine. It can froth your milk hot or cold! Just perfect if you want to make a fancy iced coffee. And again, just one push of a button...

Along with the machine that I purchased, you automatically receive a box full of the different samples of coffee and espressos. So far I have sampled the Vanilla and Half-Caffeinated. Both were amazing! Each individual capsule has its own barcode that the machine scans itself, which is why it's so easy to operate. With every variety of coffee and espresso, there is a short and sweet description of the coffee/espresso, along with the intensity. Love!

The design of the different capsules are great too, because you are sure to never pick the wrong one! When you order the coffee, it also comes straight to your door within 48 hours of purchase.. Talk about great service!

I would strongly suggest to purchase one of these if you love good coffee and if you want to save a bit of money instead of going to Tim Horton's or Starbucks! In the long run, you save loads of money while getting to enjoy a great drink! The options are endless..

Do you have any Nespresso machines or would like to purchase one? What do you think?

Hope you enjoyed this post! I love coffee so much, and I'm absolutely thrilled to be writing a post about my new coffee machine! I literally can't wait to make my next cup of coffee in the morning!

Much love,

Rainy Night In

Tonight, I've decided to just relax and stay in. It has rained all day and I've been puttering around throughout the day so after a while, it gets pretty tiring... As an introvert, it feels so rejuvenating to have some me-time to sit back and relax.

First of all, I've been eyeing up some Doc Martens. I find the 3-eyed shoe in the cherry colour absolutely gorgeous. They are so incredibly comfortable (I tried them on today) and I think I'm ready to go back and buy them! I love the selection on Urban Outfitters though, so that was the store that I spent the past hour browsing through. I feel the shopping urge coming on as it gets closer and closer to going back to school. I was also eyeing up the 8-eyed smooth leather boot in black or navy! I'm having the hardest time deciding... I love them both!

Along with a nice cup of camomile tea and two hershey's kisses, I enjoyed my elephant candle! I believe it was from HomeSense, but it smells amazing regardless.

Other than that, I have been watching some classic movies on Netflix in the corner of my eye. All great movies that I've seen before; Hitch, Freaky Friday, Dirty Dancing, etc!

What do you like to do on rainy days?

Much love,

The Cottage

One of my absolute favourite places to be during summer is at camp. When I was younger I lived there throughout the entire season. I had always found something do to no matter what kind of day it was. The lake is absolutely beautiful. It is one of the most peaceful places I've ever been too. Cars are rare on the road, the lake brushing up against the sandy beach is insanely calming, and the wildlife is pretty well interesting. Here are a few photos that I snapped while venturing amongst the beach. Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to fish as it was a bit too windy (and at one point, too rainy) to go out on the lake on a small boat. I will make a point to create a bit more adventure on my next visit!

Sunset #1

Every night is beautiful like this, and I've never seen an ugly sunset!

While walking along the beach, my grandmother and I found patches of both blueberries and raspberries! That night, we decided to make fresh raspberry pie... And let's just say I had more than one piece... Ha!

Saskatoon berries are also quite popular while going on adventures.. They sit right along the beach, and can be found in many more places!

Sunset #2 - One of my favourites... I love the vibrant orange!

This is the view walking along the path towards the beach! Love!

The rest of the photos are particularly of my view on the beach. It's always really quiet as there are few people that are out and about on the property! As you can now see why it is one of the most peaceful places I've been! 

Hope you enjoyed these photos. I love that I can share my favourite things with you. I miss visiting here all summer, but that's what happens when we grow up!

Much love,
JessicaLynn
