Vanilla is In, Boring is Out

I look forward to my Saturday mornings almost every hour of the work week.  It is my time I spend snuggling up with my still half asleep babies before their energy kicks in, while I drink my coffee and the world waits.  I have nowhere to be and nothing to do but just be present with them.  In these moments is where I find my peace.

It appears so simple, so mundane, so vanilla – but it makes my heart soar.  My most favorite part of my entire week is this very hour.

I like my life the way I like my coffee, really.  Not a whole lot of embellishment or extravagances on the exterior but rich and vibrant and incredibly fulfilling.

If you’re using Vanilla as a synonym for boring, you’re using it wrong. Vanilla is anything but boring.  For me, vanilla is kinda perfect.

Coffee-mate is on a mission to take back vanilla and remind every one just how awesome it really is.  Their new liquid creamer, Classic Vanilla, is delicious.  If you thought vanilla was plain, I bet you didn’t know it has over 170 notes.  How’s that for simple?

There’s vanilla in everyone. The next time someone calls you vanilla, take it as a compliment.

Vanilla is familiar and calming but it’s also upbeat and exciting. And now you can have both.

Do you love Classic Vanilla too? Snap a photo of your own vanilla moment and share it with the hashtag #TakeBackVanilla (on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram) for a chance to have your photo featured on Coffee-mate’s social channels.
