Call me crazy, but I prefer to ring in the New Year quietly. Ideally at home, with a few friends, a partner (should there be one in my life at the time) or even, alone. No crazy parties, loud music or making small talk for me. Calm, quiet and intentional.

Why am I talking about New Years Eve nearly half way through January? Because I’ve got celebration and cake on my mind!

Spicy Hot Chocolate

I believe a key to my success has been continuing to enjoy seasonal drinks like this Spicy Hot Chocolate 😉  It’s my take on a winter classic.
