Its a double cup kind of day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I used to have two cups of coffee a day - one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Cream and sugar. For years (altho I only started drinking coffee later in life) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then for a personal goal to find one sugary thing to give up, I decided to give up the sugar and cream in my coffee. I could still enjoy the health benefits of coffee while saving on some calories. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Drinking black coffee took some serious getting used to but I haven’t looked back since. I’m even down to one cup in the morning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although I prefer afternoon tea (black or green) there are days, like today, when Im just feeling sluggish, that call for 2nd cup, grande. 😬 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s to ‘it’s almost Friday’! ☕️☕️ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #sorrycoffee #YYZeats #cafe #coffee #coffeelover #coffeeshop #coffeeshopcorners #TOfoodie #foodieTO #blogTO #foodagram #lifestyle #lifestyleblogger #blooryorkville #healthylifestyle #canadianblogger #yyzfoodie #shotoniphone #iphone6s #yorkville #torontoliving #discoverunder5k #torontoblogger #lifestylebloggerWhat was the last bold move you made? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Said “no” to something or someone you would normally say yes too? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Said, “yes” to something you would normally say “no” to? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Cut your hair?

Just can’t seem to get excited about clothes and fashion like I used to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I mean, your girl was a style enthusiast (aka a shopaholic) 😬 I even had a Tumblr account dedicated to my style addiction! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But I’ve since scaled back and started focusing more on my finances and less on my wardrobe. Ive also been purging over the years, donating and giving items away which has been liberating. . Don’t get me wrong, I still ❤️ fashion (you’ve heard me mention my stack of fashion magazines that I can’t seem to part with🤦🏾♀️!) but I don’t shop as much, follow trends, or put as much thought into what I wear in the same way I did years ago. 💫 As I write this, I’m wondering if this too is one of those things that happen has you get older, like the sudden appearance of a muffin top where your abs used to be 🤔 (I’m told that can happen...I dunno if that’s true or not 🤷🏾♀️) 💫 . Anyhow, I’ve been finding inspiration from some stylish folks like @mycurvesandcurls and decided to take a look at my wardrobe with fresh eyes and try styling a few pieces in hopes of getting style groove back (shoulder shimmying) . Wish me luck! I may try one of those 30 day wardrobe challenges but I’m not sure if I’ve got the stamina to take on all of that...but then again, it might just add that spark in my style I’ve been looking for. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m curious, have you guys done a wardrobe style challenge? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #cassmcdstyle #effortlessstyle #stylebyme #realoutfit #fashiongram #aboutalook #stylingmywardrobe #styleatanyage #blackgirlmagic #stylepost #torontoblogger #lifestyleblogger #whatiamwearing #everyddayoutfit #discoverunder5k #canadianblogger #personalstyle #styleover40 #fashionover40 #fortyplusstyle #midlifestyle #attainablestyle #outfitinspo #instabloggerstyle #agingracefully“Becoming is never giving up on the idea that there’s more growing to be done” | Michelle Obama, Becoming . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #currentreads #whatiamreading #indigofaves #motivationmonday #currentlyreading #qotd #becomingmichelleobama #bookish #booksofinstagram #personalstyle #alwaysreading #2019reads #chaptersindigo #whatareyoureading #winterreads #styleover40 #personaldevelopment #booklover #fortheloveofbooks #wordstoliveby #planoly #effortlessstyle #readersofinstagram #yyzblogger #torontoblogger #canadianblogger #lifestyleblogger #discoverunder5k #midlifestyleBlogs I Follow
