5 Things Coffee And Tea Lovers Need In Their Lives

If you're a hardcore devotee to the coffee and teas, prepare to be impressed by these gadgets that will enhance your hot beverage experience. Modern advancements are amazing and you'll wonder how you've made it through life so far without these items.

1. This French Press Travel Mug

Take an extra step out of your morning with this french press travel mug. No more waiting for your coffee or tea to steep in a regular press before pouring it to-go. Just toss your grounds/leaves in, add your hot water and you're out the door. Easy-peasy.

2. Coffee Joulies

We all know how annoying it is to have to wait for hot coffee to cool down so you can get that first hit of caffeine (or if you're like me, you just go for it anyway and burn all the skin on your tongue off). But these cool (literally) little guys are here to save the day. Coffee Joulies are stainless steel "beans" specially designed to regulate your coffee temperature. Toss 'em in and they'll absorb any excess heat, cooling your coffee to optimal drinking temperature while storing that heat for later so that your coffee also stays warmer longer.

3. This Self-Stirring Mug

For those of you who like milk or cream in your drink, this is all you. Keep your drink consistently warm and prevent that annoying layer of goop (you know what I'm talking about) at the bottom of your mug, with this battery-powered, self-stirring mug. One push of a button and all of your problems are solved. Welcome to the future.

4. This Sofa Tray Table

Now you can drink your tea and sit on the couch...at the same time. No more worries about where you'll set your drink without spilling. Life is good with this this flexible piece that fits any couch arm and provides a sturdy resting spot for your hot bev.

5. This Donut Warming Mug

Don't let all that heat go to waste! This mug lets you keep your pastry of choice warm without the need for a microwave. Soeconomical.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
