Current Obsessions
I felt like posting a round up of my current addictions. It feels quite narcissistic to do so, but hey, I feel like sharing. So here they are: Latte (especially Vanilla) I’m not usually a big fan of coffee, preferring my beloved tea any day, however I tried a cup of Vanilla Latte at Costa the other day and now can’t stop drinking it.

I’ve been dealing with a serious case of January Blues recently so I needed one of Costa’s seasonal drinks to perk me up. It did the trick.
