Thanks so much for joining Coco and me for the Ultimate Coffee Date January 2021 edition. We made it! Happy New Year everyone. I have lots to chat about with you today. First, if we were having coffee, IRL I would give you the biggest hug because I sure miss everything IRL. Grab you mugs and let’s chat!
Ultimate Coffee Date January 2021 Happy New Year
If we were having a coffee date, I would tell you…
I am in serious need of a new pillow. I wish there was someone who could ask you a few questions about your sleeping habits, maybe measure your neck or shoulders and pick out the perfect pillow for you. A Pillow Concierge or a Personal Pillow Shopper! I have bought so many that I think will work and then, nope not comfy. It’s a serious issue. Any ideas that might help me?
If we were having a coffee date, I would tell you…
I have always been a winter weather runner. There are so many things to love about cooler weather runs and I just discovered another one. I don’t have to shave my legs very often. Ha ha it’s the little things right!? How often do you shave your legs? inquiring minds want to know?
If we were having a coffee date, I would tell you…
I was sort of surprised to see that my “top nine for 2020” was all Peloton photos. With no finish line photos or silly group photos to speak of, I focused a lot of my photo skills on creating fun Peloton pics. I also embraced all of the strength training classes on Peloton beginning in March. Previously, I did all of my strength with a trainer which ended abruptly in March as well. Were you surprised by your top nine?
Your turn! If we were having a coffee date, what would you tell me? Thanks for joining the January 2021 Ulitmate Coffee Date bring on the new year!
Ha ha ha…I may (or may not) shave the legs as often this time of year either. My Top Nine was fun, but featured all pics from December (except for a Turkey Trot pic). What the what??? I even tried doing it a couple different times, all with the same result (or similar) results. I’m tempted to make one of my own. But oh well…not worth dwelling. Happy 2021!!!!!
think there are 2 diff sites that do the top nine /best nine one of them also gave me only December pics so I did the other
I have a Sleep Number pillow and I love it. The dog has hijacked my other pillow so I’ve sort of given up on that one. Ha! Your top 9 is very cute! My top 9 is not surprising, although a throwback pic from the 2019 London Marathon made it in. That was sort of unexpected. Happy New Year!
I am going to check out the sleep number pillow thanks for the tip!
I sleep on very old feather pillow, so I can’t help you shop! I know I should replace them, but they are oh so comfy!
I haven’t done my top nine yet, but I guess I should! No surprise that yours is all peloton. you’ve been crushing it this year.
Happy New Year!
Peloton did kind of take over my year this year so it’s kind of appropos. Re the pillow-if it’s not broke…
I bought an Enerplex pillow on Amazon. It’s only been a few months, but I like it.
The amount I shave doesn’t change with the season. In some areas of my life I’m low maintenance. 😊
Happy New Year!
I used to religiously shave every other day, but this week I figured why bother!?
You may have already tried this, but they make memory foam pillows that conform to the shape of your head/neck. It might work for you!
I still shave the same amount… creature of habit, lol.
I will check out those pillows thanks. I used to shave every other day out of habit but this week, I just figured eh why bother!
Oh, but you do have an in-studio Peloton pic, so that’s awesome! Shaving? Once a week if I remember. :-0 Wearing leggings I don’t even notice myself! Now that we’ve shared TMI — Happy New Year!
ha right back at ya!
Honestly, I rarely shave in the winter… no one sees my legs in tights. LOL
I couldn’t post the Top Nine. My most liked photo was the ultrasound of my grandson (who died in utero). 🙁
Happy New Year! Hope it’s a happy healthy year and one with real races (and blogger meetups).
oh no I am sorry that’s hard to see again. xoxo
I love your Peloton photos! They are well worth the effort.
I use an epilator for my legs. Over the years, the hair grow less and less, so that now I only use it once a week. And weirdly, I use it on my arms as well (from the elbow to the wrist).
I have heard that people like those maybe I should try it
I didn’t plan on doing a Top 9 this year because I was sure that I wouldn’t like it (since there would be no racing photos), but I might do it today to see what pops up!
I was surprised that all my photos were Peloton but I did spend a lot of time with it this year.
Your Top Nine is very fitting 🙂 Thank goodness for Peloton this year! I guess I should check out what mine looks like.
I share your pillow struggles so I hope you get some good suggestions.
Happy New Year!
Peloton was a life saver this year for so many of us!
I like very flat pillows because fluffy ones hurt my neck. I even bought flat ones to keep at the beach house and my mom’s house so I don’t have to travel with them. Most hotels seem to have enough of a variety that I’m “usually” okay.
During the summer I shave my legs about twice a week and during the winter I shave them once a week. I have two advantages, though… 1. the hair on my legs is somewhat blonde 2. as I get older, I have less hair on my legs. Ouch!
I goofed up my Best Nine (I couldn’t get Top Nine to load) and had to redo it and got a few completely different pictures the second time around. Fortunately, I’d done a screen shot of the first go through and used it.
Thanks for the linkup and have a great weekend! Happy New Year!
The pillow thing is very personal indeed. I am on a quest to find my perfect pillow
I’m team “every other day” for shaving. It only takes a minute and I really don’t like the feeling of being furry. Good luck with the pillow search, and hopefully someone with the right skills will see your post and develop a pillow matching service.
ah wouldn’t that be just amazing!
I am missing hugs too! I must admit, I “accidentally” hugged someone this summer and I still feel guilty about it. I am a hugger and I just forgot! Your photos are all so good – professional looking. I need to up my photo game. Maybe that could be a resolution. Ha! And…I usually shave my legs once a week in the winter. Maybe 8 days. Sometimes 9.
I miss hugging so much! I have been working on my photos a lot so thanks! I have a set of filters that I use on all my photos to keep them consistent looking.
thanks!
I can’t tell you how many pillows I’ve tried that then became either a guest pillow or a kid pillow. I have a foam one that I like now, but it may have been just a cheap purchase from Target as a temporary that ended up staying LOL. As for shaving, I do it occasionally, but I’m blessed with super fine blond hair, so it’s hardly noticeable when I don’t shave.
The pillow thing is a serious issue! I think I may have found a good one on order. I will solve this crisis 🙂
I think I’m the only person who hasn’t looked at/posted my top nine this year. I won a super-comfy pillow in an IG giveaway this past year. I’ll have to look at the brand and let you know what it is!
Yes please do taking recommendations !
That would be so nice! I really like the pillow I have right now, but have no idea where it came from (sorry that I have no helpful suggestions 🙁 ).
I couldn’t find a way to get my top 9 without the watermark, so I’m not sure what mine has! I think a lot of them were from my road trip back in 2019!
the top nine was harder to do this year. I am on a mission to find my perfect pillow
I shave my legs every day when I shower. I also wear a bra and regular clothes every day. Many people in my life think these things are super weird. I’m a creature of habit. I kind of do it automatically! 😉 My top nine was really weird. One #tbt race photo got in there! NYC Marathon 2019.
Oh I have to wear a bra no question! In the summer I shave daily but this week I figured what the heck!
I love your Peloton Top Nine. I started using the app in August and haven’t looked back. Such a great way to keep moving!
Oh yes it’s the best! If you need any class suggestions let me know
Happy New Year! I prefer winter running too…but you don’t want to know what my legs look like right now, LMAO! It’s definitely been interesting to see the Top 9 this year, mine mostly were made up of throwback photos! Thanks for hosting coffee!
I caved in and shaved mine! 🙂
Whoops, I missed this. Totally hear you on the hugs. I just want to (safely) sit with a friend and chat and catch up.
I was just having this leg shaving conversation with a friend. While I get pedis year-round I do not regularly shave my legs in winter. In fact I’m pretty sure I didn’t between Florida stints. Mine isn’t that thick so it’s not terrible. If it was I’d probably be weekly.
I feel you on the pilow. Fell in love with one here last time and spent weeks trying to find it. I didn’t, and now that I’m sleeping on it again it’s more good than wow. I’m over soft pillows though. I need the firm ones. Doesn’t help though that I’n not so much a back/stomach/side sleeper as a “however I fall asleep”
I am happy to report that after much research, I ordered a new side sleeping pillow. I hope it does the trick
