Wake Up With Lavazza + Giveaway!

Who woke up to a video call from Italy this morning? This gal! As part of my Lavazza experience, I had my alarm app set to go off this morning. I thought I had time to quickly brew a cup of the Perfetto expresso roast and make it back before the alarm went off. Just as the last drop hit the cup, I heard an operatic "Buongiornooooooooooo" from their spokesperson and I hurried over to see that the call had started. Whew, close one!

I suffer from "foot-in-mouth" syndrome often, so I did not have high hopes for myself during a video call. But I think I survived with minimal embarrassment! Fingers crossed! It was a lovely start to my morning to learn more about Lavazza.

Oh, we talked about many things like my blog and music. We talked about positivity and of course, coffee. Glorious coffee. It took me out of my comfort zone and I'm glad. I mentioned on Twitter the other day how I was trying to be more positive and how it is working for me. If you put good out in the world, good comes to you. Lavazza has proven that to me in a big way. They have treated me kindly and made me feel like my voice matters. That's a big deal! I can stand behind a company that has those kind of standards.

This has been a fantastic experience and I cannot say enough good things. I hate surprises and they kept a lot of this secret from me until it was time to know something. That would normally drive me crazy, but I think it actually added to the adventure. I enjoyed not knowing what was in the box when it arrived and I enjoyed not knowing what to fully expect when the alarm went off (probably the only time I will ever be a morning person and it not be Christmas morning!). You can read more in my last post!

Lavazza is offered in K-Cups and you can read more about them here. I was sent all four to try and it's hard to choose favorites, but I can't stay away from Gran Aroma and Perfetto. My MIL loves dark and bold roasts and has really been enjoying the Gran Selezione.That's not a knock against Classico, by any means!

Now, I want to give one lucky reader a chance to try all four. In this giveaway, I've picked something to represent the three main categories of my blog- lifestyle, beauty, and fashion. The winner will receive two K-Cups of each Lavazza flavor to sample, a rose gold bow cuff, a Korres lip butter in Quince, and an One Direction mascara (an extra one from one of my sets that has never been opened). This will end on December 15, 2014 at 12AM EST. Open internationally!
