Life fueled by food and travel.

Mellow Mornings {Life and Links}

11/22/2019

{Life and Links} is a new feature here at Figs and Flights. A few weeks ago I shared my tips, tricks, and favorite products for Falling into Halloween. I loved it and it seemed that you readers did, too. 

The motto here at Figs and Flights is "life fueled by food and travel." {Life + Links} is how I'll share my lists for creating a calm, happy, fulfilling life between the food and travel adventures. It will focus on day to day life. The themes will vary seasonally, include tips and tricks and my favorite items aka the stuff that's so good I need to share it with you. 

Some of the links that I provide will take you will connect you to Amazon while others will not. Here's what I want you to know about the things I'm recommending to you:
  • I will only recommend items that I use regularly and that I absolutely LOVE
  • When you buy something with Amazon via Figs and Flights I will get a small commission so THANKS for shopping that with me
  • I'd love to hear what you think about something I've recommended! Shoot me an email or tag me on Instagram to show off your favorite new thing.

Mornings are a peaceful and productive time for me. It wasn't always this way, though.

I caught a small glimmer of myself as a morning person in college on days when I had a test. My routine was to get up EXTRA SUPER early and camp out in a coffee shop. I'd spend several hours there cramming, fueled by plenty of caffeine and a bagel with cream cheese, before a test. I'd take the test, go to my other classes, then head home and nap like a true college champ. Other than those really productive test-day mornings I didn't really do mornings back then.

Mornings began to feel like a ticking time bomb as soon as I started working full time. I'd run out the door with wet hair, without eating breakfast or having packing a lunch, feeling totally disheveled and unprepared for the day. I really admired people who showed up to work looking and seeming ready for the day rather than being smacked over the head by it! How did they do that?

I didn't set out to find the key to mellow mornings but I did! Here are a few ways I learned to make a better morning routine for myself.

Falling into Halloween {Life and Links}

For my fellow SUMMER lovers and my future self, specifically. As summer turns into a frosty fall, here's a little recap of what I did to ease the pain this year. 

​Remember that you have Halloween and then Christmas to look forward to, even when you're cold! Leaves are pretty, blankets are cozy, and you can actually drink hot drinks and eat soup every day.

You can't help but take a second look at blue skies and bright orange leaves.

Appreciate the colors.
