How do you add flavor to your life? Those small things that just sweeten your days?
The way I add some flavor to my life these days is by yardsale and thriftstore shopping. It is always the thrill of the hunt, chasing down bargains and having a mental list that I go through while out scouring the sales. Usually I find the items on my wishlist, if I wait long enough.
Before I leave for one of these early morning treasure hunts, I grab myself a to-go cup of coffee and flavor it up just right for me.
How do you like your coffee?
I’ll admit, I have not always been a coffee drinker, so it surprises me sometimes just how much I enjoy that one cup of coffee I have each and every morning. My hubby gets up and grinds the beans and makes a full pot of coffee every morning and when I get up, the first thing I do is go in the kitchen and make myself a nice, sweet cup of java.
No plain cup of coffee for me, it must have flavor and LOTS of sweet. I’ll take a little coffee with my creamer, please. 🙂 I rely on Coffee-mate flavors to give some extra sweetness and mellow flavor to my coffee and that completely takes out the bitterness that coffee sometimes has for me. These are 2 of my fave recent flavors that I picked up to use, French Vanilla and Italian Sweet Creme. Anything creamy or vanilla-y is good for me.

I flavor up my coffee by adding coffee mate. I want to try the italian sweet creme. I flavor up my day by not being afraid to try new things.

I flavor up my coffee with the coffee mate vanilla caramel! that one is so yummy. I like the french vanilla better, so I cant wait till I finish my bottle. I flavor up my day by listening to music to keep me happy and energetic.

My husband and I are not coffee drinkers but we have a keurig coffee maker so others can flavor their day any way they want. Our grandkids flavor our days.

Just tried the new “Italian Sweet Cream” and really find it exceptionaly good. Never thought any flavor would come close to “Creme Brulee”. It is a keeper.

I flavor my coffee with chocolate…well, when I actually attempt to drink it. I’m not a coffee drinker. At all. But mocha. Yes, I can do that!
I flavor my days with three kids. Yep, three wonderful, busy, energetic, fun children!

I’m a teacher working with over 100 teenagers each day, so I have a ton of flavor in my life! As for my coffee, the Chocolate Raspberry is the most amazing flavor and I have it every afternoon in my coffee. Thanks for the great giveaway.

I love french vanilla- coffee is not the same without it! I have to have a “cup o’ joe” every morning to start my day.
annalene says
I personally don’t drink coffee, but the other members of my household and every single one of my friends do! Most seem to like just cream and sugar, but some also use soy or coconut milk or creamer!

I add flavor o my life by being creative. I enjoy painting, sewing, writing, and cooking.
Christina Muso says
I love Coffee Mate creamers! My favorites are Italian Biscotti and Pumpkin Spice. I wish the pumpkin spice was available year round. I look forward to trying new flavors.

I try to be spontaneous as much as I can as a natural planner type person! LOL I will suggest weekend road trips on a Saturday morning or surprise my hubby with his favorite meal when he doesn’t expect it. May not seem like much, but for me its a lot! LOL As for coffee, I love to add all sorts of stuff to it. LOL I will add vanilla or flavored syrup to it and have been known to make my own homemade frozen coffee drinks too!
Tomi says
Flavoring my coffee is easy thanks to Coffee Mate and a good cup of coffee certainly helps me flavor up my day! Gives me that lil’ jolt I need. Here’s a lil’ secret I learned from my dad, Coffee Mate is an excellent addition to corn bread. Add a little French Vanilla to your batter and ooh la la!

I actually do not drink coffee but I do use Coffee-Mate! I use it in my tea! I love all the variety of flavors I can get and just mix it with a plain black tea. yummy!
Julie L says
I don’t drink a lot of coffee but when I do I drink it black …boring I know ;)Quite simply, I am a people person. My mom tells me, that since I was knee high to a grasshopper, that I never meet a stranger. I love interacting with others-etc. it brings me joy and “flavor” to my life.

Coffeee. Yum~!!! I’m a simple girl about my morning coffee. I drink it in a BIG footed mug with powdered creamer and 3 Splenda’s that have fiber in them. HOWEVER, if I’m out shopping and I stop at a Starbucks, I either get a caramel machiato or a white chocolate mocha sometimes with an extra shot! It’s been fun reading how everyone enjoys theirs!
rich says
I love the creaminess that coffee mate gives my coffee. Not big on flavored coffee, myself, but the original is a long-time favorite!
Sarah says
I flavor up my coffee with hazelnut Coffeemate!! Love that stuff! I flavor up my life by seeing the positive and the humor in everything around me 😉

I use Coffee Mate Original in my coffee. It has been my choice for many years.
