Godiva Coffee {& cookie!} GIVEAWAY

October 30, 2011 by Hillary 112 Comments

Good morning, friends!

Hope you’re enjoying the last Sunday of October – crazy, isn’t it? As a way of procrastinating my academic to-do list and weekend chores this morning, I’m finally putting up my review of the Godiva coffee I received as a part of Foodbuzz’s Tastemaker Program.

We all know that I love chocolate and coffee, so I was more than happy to find two pounds of coffee in my mailbox from Godiva Chocolatier. The flavors I received – Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Pecan Bark – “are inspired by Godiva’s most popular chocolates and crafted with high quality, medium-roasted, 100% Arabica beans for a rich, smooth taste”.

Both of the coffees had wonderful aromas; though upon first glance at the festive packaging, I spotted two words that I avoid religiously: “artificially flavored”.

As a committed Foodbuzz publisher and tastemaker, I put my personal food philosophy aside and sampled both coffees. Not surprisingly, my tongue wasn’t a fan of the artificial aftertastes that it isn’t accustomed to. However, my roommates are thoroughly enjoying the festive, flavored coffees on these chilly autumn mornings – the Pumpkin Spice in particular.

Do you like flavored coffee?

    My favorite way to drink coffee is some kind of flavored blend (current fave is Archer Farms White Chocolate Cranberry) with a packet of Stevia and steamed skim milk, extra frothy, and a sprinkle of cinnamon and Stevia on top. :)

    I love coffee in the morning in copious amounts with breakfast. Breakfast just isn’t the same if coffee isn’t with it. Usually with something creamy like peanut butter toast or waffles. But anything will do. I can literally drink coffee and take a nap after, I drink so much. But flavored is the way to go–so many out there to taste test. I would love to try Godiva–but first I have to find where they sell it around here! :)
    Happy Halloween!

“Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. “Anxiety is a symptom, not a diagnosis.” - Dr. George Papanicolaou

It’s no secret that I suffer from chronic anxiety and panic attacks. Or at least I don’t intend it to be. Because while there can be a lot of shame and embarrassment around both of these, I know I’m not alone in my experiences. While I’ve leaned toward the more anxious side most of life, my bothersome anxiety has steadily increased since my mid-twenties - some periods being worse than others. 

It’s not a complete surprise that my mental health has taken a dip during my first full gloomy Seattle winter — in the height of a pandemic. 

Here are some ways I have been nurturing my body & mind as I work with a team of practitioners to work on understanding the **root causes** of my panic, and to live with more ease. 

» no coffee (not even decaf)

» meditating regularly - I’m using @insighttimer 

» gentle movement

» weekly therapy sessions

» attempting cold showers (this is hard for me!): if you’re interested, you can research how this impacts the nervous system

» working with a naturopathic doctor to focus on gut + hormone health

» trying a new Rx - a decision that took years of consideration

» lastly, opening myself up to vulnerable conversations/sharing my story and my experiences in efforts to reduce any shame and connect with others 

I am not my anxiety. 

[image: a photo I snapped to send to my mom of my naturally red palm holding my Rx on the first day I took it]
This rare blue sky day in February is having me da This rare blue sky day in February is having me day dreaming about long, light-filled summer days... they’ll be here soon.

Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴 I was expect Leavenworth, WA • Where To Eat🍴

I was expecting all things beer, brats and pretzels in Leavenworth (not really my jam) 🍺🥨🧀, and while there’s plenty of it, I was delighted to find plenty of delicious eats for my “foodie” taste. 

We went to all of these 3 places more than once during our quick stay - highly recommend! 

☕️ @argonautespressobar: Located at one end of Front Street, this adorable coffee bar has delicious espresso drinks, breakfast items, and the best view! 

🥐 @tumwaterbakery: Incredible pastries, avocado toast on artisanal bread that’s a feast for your eyes... and I’m eager to go back and try their wood-fired pizza! 

🍜 @yodelinbroth: Literally some of the best food I’ve had (ever!), and that’s saying a lot. I had the Yodelin soup with housemade wild PNW halibut bone coconut curry broth, udon noodles, heaps of veggies and wild salmon - it was nourishing to my core as we ate it outside in 30 degree weather. I even bought some of the broth to recreate this meal at home, yum!

winter wonderland getaway ✔️ We had snow much winter wonderland getaway ✔️

We had snow much fun exploring the picturesque Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA for a much-needed mid-week getaway to the mountains. 🏔

We stayed in a cozy little cabin @logecamps right on the Wenatchee River (one day I’ll be back to stay at the stunning @phleavenworth), played in Enchantment Park, took a drive to Lake Wenatchee, and discovered some of the best food downtown (I’m saving my food recs for another post).

Nestled between the snow-capped Cascade Mountains with the river running through town, it’s quite magical in the middle of winter. ❄️ I’m already dreaming of heading back for some summer adventures!
I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in I’m sure Koba is wondering why we ever lived in Florida for two years.
