little bird morning's

little bird morning's started way earlier then i wake up now, and usually consisted of either natalie or i behind the counter sipping on some delicious counter culture coffee and listening to one of the many playlists i created just for the shop.my beverage of choice was a jojo special which was two shots of espresso, a touch of honey, and half soy/half almond milk. early morning song was usually fleet foxes,
" blue ridge mountain," or neil young "harverst moon" (my favorite morning song!).
creating the enviornment of the shop was always just as important to me as the food and beverage we served. i believe as humans we get the most out of our experiences by using all of our senses.
customers use to comment how before they knew who we were , they would think we were a florist. the front of the little bird was filled with the most beautiful flowers and plants i could find, especially in the early months before the heat wave killed most of our plants and then the cruel winter took over and made it impossible.
so here are early morning tips of the day! they make me smile and hope it will for you to

1. set an intention  = it isn't always easy getting out of bed but when you have a clear purpose for doing so it makes it that much easier

2. play music= listen to a song you love, it will get you out of your head and in the mood!

3. hot beverage= whether it is coffee or tea, i find a hot beverage to be very soothing, and to be honest sometimes that is all i need to get me out of bed; knowing there is a delicious coffee waiting for me

4. flowers/plants= if you don't have one, go get one today....you will be amazed how fast your spirits lift!
