Coffee has always been at the center of my life in happy moments, when I felt stuck, during catch-ups with friends, quick lunch breaks, long walks, and quiet holidays. It’s the small ritual that keeps me grounded. So here’s my 2025 coffee recap and a little wish for the new year: more joy, new spaces to grow, and moments that truly feel good… always with coffee. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🤎

Resetting my life before the new year something I do every year. Not to become a new person, but to come back to myself.
I slow down, clear my space, reset my habits, and gently ask what I want to carry into the next year.

If you do a yearly reset too, save this for later ✨ And tell me what are you letting go of this year?
