bloomsday/cinco de mayo

Happy Cinco de Mayo! Hope you all have a fun day. Since it's my last Cinco de Mayo in college, I'm going to celebrate for sure at the lake in Coeur d'Alene. It's such a nice, warm day (my fave weather) so a bunch of us are going to the "beach" part of the lake. Yay!

This morning I'm running Bloomsday, a huge road race in Spokane. This is my first year doing it so I'm excited. I enjoy running, but today I'm not doing it competitively or with a set time in mind. I'll run part of it and walk part of it with some friends.

Enjoy your Cinco! I'll be back either later tonight or tomorrow with an outfit post.

Thomas Hammer

Thomas Hammer, a local coffee roaster, has ten shops in the inland northwest area. We have one in our business school on campus and I often treat myself to an iced mocha when I have class in the building. My other favorite treats are the white chocolate covered espresso beans and the OMG Bar (a peanut butter bar with a chocolate layer on top). Yum! 

While the coffee alone is amazing, the marketing is just as good! They use funny statements that capture the brand's personality well.

I laughed out loud the first time I saw this coffee mug! I like the play on words.

Another funny mug.

Other Thomas Hammer lines I like are, "Helps Straight Think You" and "You Won't Regret This In The Morning."

The creativity of the marketing makes me like the brand even more than I already do!

Darn the sun for going down before 4pm. I blame winter, not my decision of taking an outfit photo later in the day. The last couple of outfit pics don't have the best lighting. I've been so busy with finals that I hardly have any time to take photos of my outfits! Finals...blahh.

This morning a few friends and I went to Chaps, a restaurant in Spokane that a friend of mine works at. Since she is studying abroad next semester, today was her last day so we went there to visit her at work and have breakfast. And get free candy canes. It was a great start to a Saturday morning.
