How to Refresh For Fall

My weekly schedule is at capacity, between working full-time, blogging, church, family time and my social life. There's never a dull moment, but recently I decided to refresh for Fall. Today I'm going to share how I spend “Me Time” while enjoying Starbucks Refreshers® beverages. Recently, I was asked to participate in the #StarbucksRefreshers Campaign, sponsored by Starbucks at Walgreens. Although I have been compensated, all opinions are my own.

Backyard Chilling
If you’re going to refresh you need fresh air. I decided to spend a couple of hours in my backyard soaking up some sun, listening to soft music and planning out the rest of 2016.

I'm not a big coffee drinker, so I was nervous to try Starbucks Refreshers® revitalizing energy with coconut water and caffeine from green coffee bean extract, but to my surprise the Black Cherry Limeade won me over. It's packed with vitamins and fruit juice for a natural boost. This drink is perfect to kick-off a busy Saturday.

The Perfect Snack
I couldn’t refresh without fuel aka snacks. Every delicious drink needs a crunchy snack to go alongside it. I have been eating Quaker® Big Chewy Granola Bars since I was a kid, literally. I remember, eating chewy bars after cheerleading practice and during Sunday School at church. Chocolate chip is a classic favorite, but my absolute fav is peanut butter. Together, these items are the perfect pair for busy days when you don't have enough time for a warm breakfast or afternoon power snacks. Did I mention that there was no messy cleanup? #win I love eating, so snacks that don’t come with dishwashing always win me over.

Good Reads
It’s no secret that I love to read. Check out 2 books every 20 something should read here. During my Fall refresh, it was essential that I read empowering books along with planning. I decided to read a little bit of Girl Boss by the Founder of Nasty Gal and Instinct by Bishop T.D. Jakes. There’s nothing like refreshing with clean air, sun, tasty snacks and empowering reads.

Free Stuff
I know that you're busy and trying to do it all, so refresh yourself for Fall with a Starbucks Refreshers® beverage from Walgreens. They come in two ah-mazing flavors: Black Cherry Limeade and Peach Passion Fruit. Did I mention no artificial flavor, colors or sweeteners? Just an A1 energy boost with a great taste!
