Wednesday Pick-Me-Ups

It's that time of the week when hope is on the horizon -- you're halfway through the work week! Even if you don't have a Monday to Friday job, there is always that one day when you tell yourself, "You're almost there! Only a couple more days until relief!"

For me, this day usually isn't marked by anything significant other than extra positive thoughts pushing me through the rest of the week. Don't get me wrong; I love my job, but I love the weekends just a little bit more!

But this Wednesday, my fiance and I made a little stop at Starbucks on the way to work, and I got my favorite drink -- a chai latte.



Something about this drink always soothes me and relaxes my mind and soul. But at the same time, it gives me a little energy boost, which is perfect. It's exactly the right treat to get me through the rest of the week.

Do you do anything special when the week is halfway over? Maybe look at certain motivational websites or pictures? Buy yourself a yummy snack or drink?

Things like this are a rare treat for me, but that is what makes them special :)

    1. I have been hooked on chai for a few years now! Usually when I go into a coffee shop, I'll end up getting chai instead of any sort of coffee, lol. Sticking with what I know is good!

    1. It is so easy to drag in the winter. I just want to curl up and stay home! Starbucks is good, but I don't go super often. I like to frequent local coffee shops and support small business when I can! Even so, I just don't go out for coffee a whole lot in general, so this was definitely a nice treat.

  6. Not on a specific day, but I also love to treat myself to Starbucks every once in a while. :) A salted caramel mocha latte is the perfect sweet pick-me-up.

  7. I love that you've got a mid-week tradition where you treat yourself like this. :) When I had an office job, I'd hit up the nearby Starbucks, too, for a nice afternoon treat, or the local sweet shop for some dark chocolate-covered pretzels because they were a divine reminder that the week was halfway through.

    Now that I work at home, it's a bit different, but I still love treating myself to a nice cup of coffee (or a latte) as a 'woohoo! halfway down!' treat.
