So I like coffee, a whole lot actually.

They say everyone has a vice. Well, mine is undeniably coffee. I drink at least 3 cups every morning and more if I have access to a Tim Horton's or Starbucks in my daily travels. Sometimes I have tell myself, "Michelle, you need some real food today, not just coffee" or "Hey, it's 8:30pm, don't you want to sleep at all tonight". The truth is, it's an addiction, like anything else. There are worse things I could be doing I suppose but something just feels missing in the morning if I don't have a steaming cup of java next to me while I lose my 5 lives in candy Crush Saga.

So, on to the real story. I'm a member of Bzz Agent. If you don't know what that is, I will give you the short version. It's a site that selects people for these campaigns in which they send you a  product, for FREE and then you try it and write a review, talk to your friends and basically spread the "buzz". Now I've gotten some great campaigns in the past, but I have never been more excited then when I got this last one, which was fro Green Mountain Fair Trade Coffee. I drink Green Mountain all the time, but something about them giving me these 6 free K-cup packs sent me over the edge. I guess it would be like a crack addict scoring a few free rocks. I don't know. It was amazing, and somehow tasted better then any of the other coffee I had in the house. Maybe because I learned what "Fair Trade" means, I envisioned my little cup of heaven helping this poverty stricken village attain clean drinking water. My addiction was HELPING someone else. That's good right?

You can learn about feeding your addiction with Fair Trade Certified coffee and then you will be like me.



Now, I have to make another cup. Then I have to go buy more creamer. It's an endless cycle really.
