Adding Flavor To My Life

This is sponsored content from BlogHer and Coffee-mate.



I've only got one chance at this life here on Earth, so I try to add as much flavor as possible. One way I do this is by changing my hair style and color every month or so. A gal's gotta keep things fun and exciting, right?!...especially when most days feel like Groundhog's Day over and over again. (can I getta "amen", you stay-at-home-moms?)

My life is never boring with a household of quadruplets...maybe all the gray hair that I've been accumulating in my 20's (!) has something to do with the funky blond highlights I am currently sporting?



A great haircut is just what I need to re-energize and feel like a brand new person! I've had just about every hair style that you could possibly imagine.

From short and spikey,


to long and classy.


Curls.


Flipped out.


Straight.


Reddish.


Dark Brown.


Light Brown.


Blond Highlights.


PINK Highlights.

You name it, I've probably done it!


And the same is true for my COFFEE-MATE flavors. My husband and I are professed coffee-haulics and cannot function without our morning cup.


We are constantly switching up our COFFEE-MATE flavors. Our current COFFEE-MATE flavor is Fat Free Hazelnut- we cannot get enough of it!


Before that, it was Fat Free French Vanilla...


You see, coffee is like life -- it's better when you add your flavor. With a wide variety of over 25 flavors, COFFEE-MATE is the delicious way to personalize every cup. Head over to Coffee-mate.com to find over 25 ways to add your flavor. Discover what your newest favorite could be!


And if you would like to win a $100 Visa Gift Card, leave a comment and tell me:

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the peppermint mocha (I hope that is what it is called!)

Suz said...

I love the cinnamon bun flavor...can't start my day without it :)

Chris said...

I have to use Coffee-Mate and a little sugar for my coffee, my husband says it's more like a dessert than a cup of coffee. Yes siree! I don't really have a single favorite flavor though, it changes with the season - and my mood!

Betty W. said...

My hubby is the coffee drinker of the fam...likes his black. However, who says Coffee-Mate is only for coffee?! Try French Vanilla (or any of the other delicious flavors) in a bowl of hot oatmeal! We love it!

Heather! said...

I LOVE my coffee with Hazelnut CoffeeMate creamer! Can't have it without it! :)

I don't drink coffee, but occasionally I'll enjoy a touch of coffee flavor in an ice cream treat.

Creme Brulee blows me away. Keep those new ones coming!

When I learned to drink coffee, first I tried it black. It tasted like dirt. So then I put sugar in it. It tasted like sweet dirt. So then I put milk in it and it tasted like mud. So then I put sugar in it and it tasted like sweet mud. So then I decided that I was always going to have a weight problem and might as well drink it black..... but then I discovered mint coffee! Yumm!

I like Equal and Coffee-Mate. I never know which flavor I will buy until I am at the store! Love your hair! I like to try a different color every couple of months but not so much a new cut.

I love sugar free Hazelnut.... but during the holidays it's pumkin pie spice and gingerbread.... yum yum!

Rae Rae Rock On said...

Black or with a little milk. Flavor-wise I go for the classics - hazelnut or vanilla.

(I got an error page when I submmitted, so I'm submitting another comment. Please delete it if it's a duplicate.)

I add Coffee-mate original to my hot chocolate, and Cinnamon Bun to my coffee. I couldn't even FACE you without a cup of coffee in the morning. My best friend insists on Coffee-mate original, and no substitutes. So it's always available in my cupboard.

Unknown said...

I'm not a huge coffee fan, but I do really like mochas. Caramel mochas are good too. :D

Amanda said...

I love coffee with vanilla caramel creamer and two splendas!!

AtlanticVamp said...

I take my coffee strong, with two packets (or one teaspoon) of sugar and just enough half-n-half to lighten it.

Anonymous said...

Coffee is my life...with hazelnut. PERIOD. simple..decadent.

SLM said...

Love my coffee. I use sugar in my coffee, and Coffee Mate. I like to use different flavors of Coffee Mate depending on what I'm in the mood for. I recently tried the Italian Sweet Creme, and I think it's going to be another flavor staple. I love the seasonal flavors also.

Lagniappe said...

I have made it my job at work (not in the job description, I might add) to prepare the first pot of coffee.

Even purchased one that makes it into a 12 cup Thermos jug (which I preheat with very hot water, so that the coffee doesn't need to heat the jug!).

Can't bear the smell/taste of burned coffee oils in a glass jug sitting on a hotplate all morning.

I only use the original fat free Coffee-Mate, as I appreciate the coffee/creamy flavor rather than one spiked with other flavors. Mind you, I do enjoy the scent of other folk's choices.

VickieB said...

Although I usually drink my coffee black, I occasionally like it sweet & with french vanilla

There’s nothing that makes me feel more relaxed and special than sipping a cup of flavored coffee while sitting in the porch swing watching hummingbirds at the feeder. But not just any flavored coffee. My absolute favorite is Coffeemate Amaretto! In fact I’m enjoying a cup right now. :) Coffee just isn’t coffee without Coffeemate, and Amaretto adds that little touch of variety and luxury that makes it all mine. I keep a stock of it at all times, both liquid and powder. Love it!!

I am a member of the brew crew team and I add flavor to my life each day with a cup of coffee flavored wet coffee mate hazelnut or French vanilla. While drinking a cup of coffee each day flavored with my favorite coffee mate cream I get a lot of energy to complete my morning exercise using my stationary bike. Depending on my mood I have many flavors to choose between using the coffee made flavored creams.

Sariah said...

Holiday flavors of creamer. I don't drink coffee but love flavored creamers in my HOT CHOCOLATE! YUM!

I love the SMELL of coffee, but I've never liked the taste. That said, I love your current hair!

I'm more of a tea drinker than a coffee drinker. But coffee really smells good. I think I would like to try their hazelnut creamer.

I'm an espresso girl myself! One big shot- and all that caffeine!

jengd said...

LOVE the hairstyles! As for my coffee, not sure I can "legally" post this on this contest but honestly, not much of a fan. I absolutely love the way it smells, particularly when flavored creamers are used (and my parents have used CoffeeMate for years!), but the tasted... not so much.

Sonya said...

I use Cinnamon Vanilla Creme Coffee Mate..it's my absolute favorite!

I don't drink coffee - only tea. To like my coffee I have to add too much sugar and then I don't taste it anymore.

I love coffee! With cream and sugar, thank you!

I use unflavored cream in my coffee but I use Coffee Mate Caramel in my oatmeal!! I love it! French Vanilla is a good one too.
