For me, Autumn is all about traveling! Three years ago James and I took our first trip to Africa, last year we were in Australia and now we’re on a whole European tour. While in Africa, specifically Uganda we could not get a decent cup of coffee to save our lives (and I’m not snobby about much but lacking a good cup of java in the AM wrecks me). Once we moved on to Zanzibar, specifically to the Italian region we were saved by Lavazza. They had their coffee everywhere and it made our lives. Shortly after coming back from that trip I became a Lavazza ambassador (my enthusiasm for the brand did not go un-noticed by them over social media).
Since then James and I try to always spot their logo on our travels and obviously have to buy a cup every time we do. Sydney was my favorite spotting at the Taronga Zoo — good coffee and koalas — it doesn’t get any better then that.





















I’m so, so, so, SO, excited to announce that I’m the newest Lavazza Passionista! Which is a fancy way of saying I’m the latest ambassador for the coffee brand! I fell in love with 


4. GLOSSYBOX ($21/month) – Founded in Berlin, GLOSSYBOX is similar to Birchbox in concept, however while Birchbox is strong in bringing in new products from brands you know, love, and have likely purchased from your local Sephora; Glossybox is great for learning about new international products and brands you may have never heard of or tried before. Plus the wrapping is divine. It truly feels like you’re getting a present every month. Check out their holiday gifting specials:
