cuter caffeine

When i think of cute coffee, i think of ceramic cups and latte art. In the boring world, that's not always an option. But a simple way to make your takeout coffee cuter is to order a "short" size. If eight or ten ounces doesn't have enough caffeine for you, you can always add a shot or two of espresso. Anyway, the best lattes i've ever had, the Alaskan lattes, were double shorts. And they came in plain white paper cups i could decorate however i wanted, and cute stickers to cover the hole in the lid. And you buy them from tiny little roadside huts, each uniquely named and decorated. (Or, of course, at your favorite car wash.)

If you must have a bigger coffee, get a cute travel mug. My friend Julie got one from Target for my birthday -- it's white ceramic with a pink silicone lid and "sleeve." Really cute and simple.
