Tuesday Things.
1. This chocolate pumpkin pie is the best of both worlds. I want it.
2. I’m currently off of regular coffee – caffeine (sometimes it makes me too anxious and I need a break) but I still really want something that will pep me up a little in the mornings. And not matcha. Help!
3. Really could not laughed harder at this piece about IG reels.
4. I’d love to lean into the darkness of winter but, I mean, how is it getting dark at 4pm. Whyyyy does it feel so new every November? Ha.
5. TV things!! Yellowstone!! Cue all my exclamation points. So glad it’s back. I thought the premier was so good, albeit heartbreaking. I also watched all of Love is Blind 3. What a wild ride.
6. Yesterday I finished Matthew Perry’s new memoir. WOW. All the feels. I listened to it because he narrates it. I couldn’t stop listening.
7. Why what we want tells us who we are.
8. Current favorite podcast? Share! I need some new ones.

Yogi perfect energy vanilla spice tea. I love coffee but have a cup of this for an afternoon kick in the pants. Too much caffeine after 3 can mess with my sleep. Just enough caffeine to get the job done! Â And could the Matthew Perry book be any better!?!? I listened to it too. Tragic but very compelling. Â
oh this sounds amazing!! thank you!!

Lastly, I love a re-watch podcast. Â My current go tos are Boy Meets Pod (Boy Meets World) and I am All in w/ Scott Patterson (Gilmore Girls)Â
I spend a lot of time driving and love listening to podcasts hence my exhausting list- I left out my murder/true crime podcastsÂ
Â
love these, thanks!!!
Chai lattes are the way to go if you want a little bread from coffee. Target has so many amazing concentrate mixes to try, just add a little milk, microwave and viola!
Podcast – I love Pivot with Kara swisher and scott galloway, it’s about tech, business and politics. Don’t know why, but I just love it, and they’re crazy smart and funny!
Have you tried Verb Energy? They have protein and snack bars, and flavored energy drink mixes.

I love the Celebrity Memoir Book Club podcast! They actually just recently did an episode on the Matthew Perry memoir!
The early darkness is not fun! The cold makes missing going out less though.
Podcast 🎧 Hidden Brain 🧠so many interesting topics to learn from.
I love Normal Gossip, Scam Goddess, and Nobody’s Listening, Right? Also, From the Front Porch is a good book related podcast!
Best Friend Energy with the girls from The Home Edit is light and funny! I also like to catch First Thing with Kevin Manno to get a quick highlight of current events!
Podcasts: The Popcast for pop culture delights and hilarity, and What Should I Read Next for endless TBR suggestions!
Please try Peet’s DECAF Major Dickason ground coffee. I too had to shut down the caffeine and tried tons of coffees. This is absolute perfection-rich, bold, not a wussie usual decaf. Also literally thousands of almost 5 star reviews just on Amazon. Sorry I sound like a commercial but it’s great. Good luck!
Podcasts: The Lazy Genius w/ Kendra Adachi and Here’s Where It Gets Interesting w/Sharon McMahon
I’ve been looking for a non caffeine pick me up that doesn’t have sugar. I picked up OM Mushroom Superfood latte powder at Whole Foods as they had them in the “travel” section so I got 2 different kinds. I really liked it. Made a latte with Macadamia milk. I know these have been the rage for awhile, but I’m late to that.
Meghan Markle has a newer podcast called Archetypes! It is so good!
Ahemmmm
Any other reason you are off caffeine? (I say with expectant hope…)
Love you!
The Popcast with Knox & Jamie, Noble Blood, Love Letters, Here’s Where It Gets Interesting with Sharon McMahon are some of my must-listen podcasts!
And SOOO agree on the darkness — whyyyy??! Struggling here in Texas with the dark and the cold…and my toddler wanting to go outside regardless! hah!
What Kimberly said,,,Peet’s Major D’s Decaf. However the decaf pod they sell is supposed to be the best decaf, but my vote goes with Major D!
My husband just got me some brewed cacao (https://criobru.com/), and though it takes a little time and work, it’s good for a pick-me-up!
Blue Bottle Night Light Decaf. I too get anxious and had to cut the caffeine. This still gives me a little buzz.
Teecino! It comes in flavors like Java or Hazelnut and it comes ground, like coffee, or in tea bags. I love it for evenings when I’m craving coffee but it’s too late for caffeine. I get it from Vitacost.Â
I’m in the middle of reading the Matthew Perry memoir. But I think I’m gonna do what you did and also losyeb to it since he narrates. I was always a fan of friends I think he’s a great actor, comic but never knew about his struggle.Â
For podcasts, I love Naked Lunch with Phil Rosenthal and David Wild and Clear & Vivid with Alan Alda.
