Coffee is one of the quickest and often expensive ways to stay energized and motivated when you are feeling tired or ready to start the day. Whether it's a Frappuccino, Latte, Decaf or Regular, coffee is enjoyed by everyone. Overtime, many blends of coffee were created for customers to enjoy and it gives employees and college students the guaranteed boost they need in the morning. While coffee can become addicting, it also has some health benefits, and is known to prevent certain diseases. Drinking coffee can reduce the risk of heart and kidney disease in women. In honor of National Cappuccino Day, there are a variety of activities and blends of coffee that you can try to enjoy the holiday even more. Here are the best ones to experience.

1. Drink a cappuccino from your favorite coffee mug

When you wake up after getting dressed and making breakfast, having a cup of cappuccino is the best way to start your morning. Using your favorite cup makes it even better. This will put you in a great mood for the rest of the day.

2. Get an espresso machine

If you do not have one, go out and purchase an expresso maker to start brewing cappuccinos. They are easy to prepare with the right machine. Once you get one at the store or Amazon, you can make your favorite drinks for any occasion.

3. Post a photo of your cappuccino on social media

The images that baristas make in the foam of cappuccinos have become a type of art. Before enjoying your drink, snap of picture and post it on Facebook or Instagram. Make sure to use the hashtag #NationalCappuccinoDay to share your beverage with your friends.

4. Read about the history of coffee

While you are drinking the cappuccino of your choice; take a little time to research the history of coffee and where cappuccinos originated. It will give you something to do while relaxing. It's a difficult beverage to make for sure, but once the foam ratio is accurate, unique designs can be created on top of it.

5. Have an iced cappuccino

This drink is good if the weather is a little warmer. To make it, just add some ice with grounded coffee and cold foamed milk. Enjoy with a sandwich of your choice.

6. Buy a light cappuccino

This beverage contains more hot than foamed milk. Since the taste is diluted, it's like drinking a cafe latte with the addition of foam placed on top. It pairs with an oatmeal cookie.

7. Enjoy a dark cappuccino

Here is a cappuccino that has less milk compared to others. There is less steamed milk, the coffee has a darker color, the amount of foamed milk is higher, and it has a much stronger taste. Have this one with a delicious pastry.

8. Get a flavored cappuccino

This is the most popular cappuccino. Add your favorite choice of syrup like caramel, peppermint, cinnamon or pumpkin. Include some other flavors like chocolate sauce if you want, and enjoy with a scone.

9. Have a writer's meetup

If you have friends who are writers or joined a Facebook group for writers and coffee lovers, try to arrange a small meeting at your local cafe or make a Zoom call from home. Then you can talk about ideas, tell stories, and share your progress as a writer. Make your favorite cappuccino and get the conversation started.

10. Swap dinner and coffee recipes

Contact your family and friends. Ask them if they have any good dinner recipes for autumn, including coffee, and suggestions of the best cafes near you. Write down the information and then invite them out to have some coffee.

11. Visit your favorite coffee shop

Stop by any café and get a delicious cappuccino, and find out if anyplace is giving away a free cup for the holiday. Invite a friend and have a conversation. This is a great way to enjoy your coffee while spending time with one of your contacts.

12. Look for discounts for coffee makers and other merchandise

Go to your local coffee shop, retail store or favorite café website and find out if there are any sales. If you know someone who loves coffee, you can get them a gift card. Coffee themed calendars are fun surprise for their birthday or Christmas.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
