JUST THE CAPPUCCINO FROTH. FOR YOUR WEEKEND.

If you read Espuma #44, here, you’ll know that we’ve been waiting 5 weeks for a new refrigerator! Today is the sweet day — the day that the new fridge will come. Please cross your fingers that everything installs smoothly. We cannot WAIT to have a new fridge; it’s been such a process only using the freezer for all of our meals and refilling an ice box every 12 hours to try and keep vegetables or meat… not to mention milk for coffee… for 5 long weeks. We’re so thankful for our other appliances and comforts that still run, including air conditioning during this week’s scorching temps.

Thanks again to our sister who bought us a coffee during this stressful time. If you like our writing, we’d be honored and grateful if you bought us a coffee, too. Wishing you a great weekend.

Coffee & Reading the morning paper

Quote for the weekend

“What a liberation to realize that the ‘voice in my head’ is not who I am. Who am I then? The one who sees that.”

your Coffee shop outfit + Coffee Shop Interior

It’s mid August and we’re so excited about back to school fashion. Dark academia and Harry Potter vibes. Do you Pinterest? We’ve already started to pin to our “autumn coffee aesthetic” board. Get inspired with autumn hues, curated here.

In the meantime, please enjoy our sustainable fashion picks that emulate the style seen in the photos, below!

  • We can almost smell the soft pink roses through this photograph. The textures of this image are simply incredible… The crusted French bread, the soft hat and smooth black leather purse… & we’re swooning over that purple skirt. We found close color matches in this button dress, and this smooth midi skirt or this ruffled midi skirt. Romantic.

Some chocolate dessert

  • [Recipe] We LOVE this next blogger. We have no affiliation with her (yet :)) but honestly, love everything that she makes. She’s been coming out with recipe after recipe for coffee or chocolate lately. Check some out, below:
    • Coffee and Fudge Ice Cream Cake – “Super easy, simple, yet so delicious. The filling is made with 3 layers of ice cream…chocolate, coffee, and vanilla…then layered with graham crackers and the fudgiest homemade sauce!”
    • Iced Brown Sugar Latte with Shaken Espresso – “Homemade vanilla brown sugar syrup gets shaken up with triple shots of espresso and a couple dashes of cinnamon. Pour this sweet coffee over ice and add creamy oat milk.”
    • Frozen Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups – “These treats are so easy to make with only 6 ingredients and zero baking, nothing not to love! Salted chocolate cups stuffed with a sweet and super creamy peanut butter filling are frozen until they’re ice cold.” Sounds like a plan.

❤️

Have a lovely weekenD, with a time cupsoul, or two.
