I’m going to let you in on a little secret.

Sometimes I don’t drink my coffee until I get to work so that I have incentive to get to the office.  After waking up by 6am, going to the gym, showering, getting dressed, making lunch and eating breakfast, it is a long way to go to that first sip of coffee around 9am9:30.  But it is something to look forward to and sometimes we all need a little motivation to go to work.

But over the last few months, I’ve been cheating on my routine.  The humid summer made hot coffee unappealing so I switched to iced coffee.  And at $2+ a pop, I started making my own.  That means coffee is enjoyed on my way to work and that walk up Park Avenue is a little slower than it used to be.

When I received samples of the new Godiva Coffee flavors in the mail, I couldn’t wait to incorporate them into my morning.  The Pumpkin Spice coffee in iced form is the perfect way to ease into fall and I can’t wait to try the Caramel Pecan Bark.  I have a feeling my walk to the office is going to get slower and slower.
