• We’re a week into the new year and if you made a resolutions, there’s a 50% chance it’s already been broken. By the end of this month 90% of resolutions will be shot.
• Plain ol’ coffee creamer? We don’t know her. It’s 2019, and these days java-lovers have the freedom to choose among a host of mouthwatering creamer flavors, from Reese’s and Oreo to Snickers and Dove Dark Chocolate Almond. As if it isn’t already difficult enough to decide between all those options, International Delight is shaking things up by releasing a Peeps coffee creamer. Yep, you read that correctly, folks: Peeps coffee creamer. The limited-edition Peeps creamer is “sweet, marshmallow-y, and yellow” to mimic the color of the original chick-shaped candies. The sugary coffee addition is now available at major retailers, and each 32-ounce bottle costs $3.79.
• When two o’clock comes around and your head is periodically hitting the keyboard, keep walking past the coffee pot and go stare at a tree. Research (University of Michigan) shows that a walk in a natural setting goes farther to recharge your batteries than a stroll in the city streets.
