Graphic Tees and Nitro Coffee Please

Hello my friends! Are you officially experiencing spring yet? We have sunshine friends. I repeat we have sunshine and temps in the 70s. You know what this means, right? Iced-coffee! And we could all move on into the happy thoughts of sun dresses and iced coffee but before we do I think we should consider a trending cup of joe, known as nitro coffee. Have you heard of it?

I had my first taste of nitro coffee last year and I was just as fascinated by the process as I was by the taste! It's cold brewed, put into a keg and then infused with nitro gas. It's bubbly and frothy and it's dispensed out of a tap. After being served my first glass of nitro coffee I watched with rapt attention as the nitro caused a cascading effect throughout the coffee.

I was skeptical about the taste, as no sweetener is added.  Just the same, the barista insured me that the nitro added a creamy texture with an unexpected sweetness that has everything to do with the nature of the brewing.

So I put aside my doubts and took a big swig. First came the frothy fun and then the promised smooth texture and an undeniable sweetness. It was so different from my usual cup of coffee. There was not even a hint of bitterness. I enjoyed my first cup of nitro cold brewed coffee that day, but that coffee shop was not local to me so I figured nitro coffee would be a rare experience for me.

That is until our local Tradewind Coffee Co. told me they added cold brew coffee to the menu and invited me to sample their brew. Of course I heartily agreed and added it to my list of mini-adventures. In true "Chrissy-form", I posted a live IG video, IG stories and even a Facebook live!

I went home with an exclusive Tradewind Nitro Cold Brew glass, all ready for my next cup of nitro!

The "Shine" Tee

Can I pause for a moment and point out the fact that one of my sons is laying flat out on the floor at the Get Air trampoline park?? We were naughty parents and checked our two older boys out of school to celebrate Evan and Caden's 9th birthday. They wanted their big brothers to go jump with them and both boys said this park wore them out. Good memories!

Ok...

Now let's get to the outfits with the adorable graphic tee. As I mentioned in the previous post, featuring the "local favorite" (read about it HERE), my friend Jen, creator and designer for Beats and Breath tees, gifted four tees with two different phrases or words: "local favorite" and "shine". She also challenged me to keep and style 2 of them for myself and then share 2 with others in the community that "shine" and/or are "local favorites".

The other tees in my possession are solid grey and I can't wait to disperse them, but it's not as easy as I anticipated. Praying for direction there!
