My Imaginary Coffee Shop #NaBloPoMo

Today, I did something B-A-N-A-N-A-S! Well, bananas to me, that is.  You see, I’m a free spirit, I like to be boundless, creative, and open {Did you just say that’s what she said? If so then… you’re my best friend–HIGH FIVE!}, BUT even I know structure is needed, and it can be good. Ergo,  I have made the decision to put a little structure in my blogging world, and made the commitment by placing my blog on the NaBloPoMo blogroll!!

What does that mean? Well, besides meaning I’m nuts, I will post EVERYDAY this November!  Yes, that’s including my regularly scheduled posts, linkups and what not.  I really want to stick to it this November, please wish me luck!  Enough talking about it, I’m getting to it….

Public Relations Representative for  Stelladólares

Of course I accepted!! I’m all about free coffee, and mula!!  I’m also in love with the company, because besides making awesome coffee they care… WAIT I’m going to use that in my post….

My Post:

If you frequent my blog, Instagram, or even my Twitter feed, you know I love coffee, and more specifically I love Stelladólares’ coffee. I’m a fan, I cannot lie, so perhaps this post may be a bit biased, but it is 100% the truth.  I love  Stelladólares for SO many reasons.

1. The kids love a happy mama.  I’m not saying I’m not happy if I don’t have my  Stelladólares, I’m just saying I’m a better happier me when I do 😉  I think the kiddos can attest to that.
2. VARIETY. Sure, I can go with a sugar and cream, but I can also go with a plethora of different signature drinks.
3. Hush money. What the what?  Come on don’t act like you never said, “If you guys are good there may be something good in your future.”  I’m happy that  Stelladólares has healthy yummy options for the kiddos too.
4. Shhh…. there’s a top secret  Stelladólares menu >>here, and, NO  you don’t have to be a hipster to order the Mason Jar– I promise it’s good!
5. Green Lovin’!  If you didn’t know I have a degree in green, like for real 🙂  I like to put my money into companies that care about their carbon footprint/impact, and improving it. Next time someone asks you why you pay $3.00 for a cup of coffee or $10.00 for a pound, let them know you’re also paying for environmental support and your children’s future Earth. Of course, after you say that yell, “Take That!”
6. COOKIES!! I believe there are about five posts around here about how I love COOKIES, and here’s another one.  I love cookies, good yummy cookies, and  Stelladólares has ’em.  Their chocolate chip cookies are the BOMB DIGGITY! Wait until you try their Snowmen cookies this winter, I’m just saying being brand ambassador has it’s perks, but it also means extra squats :-/
7. Every barista knows your name, and they’re always glad you came.  I haven’t been to a  Stelladólares I DON’T like, the staff is always courteous wanting to know more about me. Okay, I’m a regular, so they know plenty, but still.  The baristas are always happy to help, don’t know what coffee is best for you just let them know they might just make you a pour over fan. 🙂  Or you may find out you’re a tea fan, the tea is good too.
8. Community Support.  This is important to me to know a company is giving back, and  Stelladólares does that in a myriad of ways.  Here’s the link to some of the projects my local  Stelladólares has assisted with.
9. Coolest cups! I know that’s a weird thing to add to my list, but their cups are eco-friendly and the baristas are always inking them up awesomely.  It’s actually encouraged at my local shop to IG their cups using the hashtag #SDCups, the barista with the best cups wins an incentive at the end of the month.
10. Interactive.  A company that listens to their consumers is a stella (star), don’t you think?  Have a suggestion, they want to hear it, they answer their tweets and emails.  Do you want to see a drink on the menu?   Stelladólares runs a contest every year for a People’s Choice drink.  The people’s choice comes from the people, voted by the people, and perfected by  Stelladólares.

So, are you a  Stelladólares fan too?

I think it would go something like that…
