Make Mornings Better with Coffee-mate

Mornings are rough. Whether you’re heading off to work, school, or a day full of errands, mornings always make the day seem so daunting. Like life is the tallest mountain in the world. And it needs to be conquered.

How do we conquer that mountain? Coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. If you’re anything like me, black coffee isn’t exactly your thing. It always smells really good, but the taste never lives up to that smell. Never. Going to your favorite coffee shop is always an option. It is expensive, though, plus sometimes you need that caffeine fix before you face the world . . . and other people.

That’s why Coffee-mate is a staple in my refrigerator. It comes in a plethora of flavors so I never get bored. Most of the time I’m a classic French Vanilla gal though. The creaminess it adds, along with the flavor, makes my homemade coffee rival those fancy professionally made drinks. All the bitterness my lackluster coffee has fades away.

Right now Target has exclusive David Bromstad designed Coffee-mate bottles to add a fashionable flair to not so fashionable mornings. You all know how I love fashion! The design star was inspired by coffee and Coffee-mate when creating these limited addition bottles in the partnership with Target and Coffee-mate. Wait! Limited edition? I better stock up now! I always think food in a pretty package tastes better too. In addition to my typical French Vanilla, I had to pick up a bottle of Hazelnut to check out and it just might be my new favorite. The scent alone is enough to transport me to a coffee shop in Italy.

Make Mornings Better with Coffee-mate

With my cup of coffee, sometimes with more Coffee-mate than coffee, I am fully prepared to conquer my day and no matter what it throws at me. When I wake up in the morning and fear my to-do list is going to crush me, I know that Coffee-mate “latte” I’ve made for myself is going to help me crush the to-do list! It will no doubt help you too.

For more inspired fun, snap a photo of the newly designed bottles and share it on Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #CMInspiresSweepsEntry for a chance to win a year’s worth of Coffee-mate, $500 Target GiftCards, and a signed print from David Bromstad!

Plus, Coffee-mate has been kind enough to offer one lucky winner an awesome Coffee-mate prize pack with 5 mini journals, a pack of colorful pens, a coffee poster, and two full value product coupons. The prize pack is valued at $45! Between the Coffee-mate and colorful pens, your days will be a lot more fun.
