Taylor! I switched to matcha and I haven't touched coffee in over 3 months now. I used to drink 2 cups and pre-workout before but now I only have 1 cup of matcha with unsweetened oat milk and I don't think I'll go back to coffee again!
Your question about coffee, I've gone years without it (pregnancies, breastfeeding...etc.) and since then, came back to it a couple of times, but never in a regular basis. The reason is, I realized (yes really late) I had ADD and I am medicated now. It may be not the case for you, but you never know, maybe good to look it up. Since then, coffee is not a need, it's more a fun thing to drink sometimes. Hope it helps 💚
So funny .. Tom is getting into his outspoken husbandry !! Y'all are so cute. Loved having a vid this week !! I miss you when I don't see you for awhile. But life changes and evolves ❤ and hugs for all 3 of you.!
Tom: Husband Negativity. Taylor: I will be more aware of this. I didn’t realize I was doing it. This is awesome communication. The willingness to make changes for your partner. This will be a long and strong marriage!👏🥰
I agree! 👍We are not robots! I do not drink coffee or caffeine. I think by not taking stimulants we can better take care of ourselves and slow down as we need to.
YES. I have never had coffee in my life because my mom is a coffaholic and it was the first smell I had all life in the morning. Anyway people ask me how I do it and I say that capitalism is trying to make us robots and according to latest science people who are overworked get dementia later in life and also die of heart diseases. If I’m tired my body tells me to rest and I rest.
I have no idea how can you do it, guys. If I don't drink coffee i get instant migraines and look like a zombie. It doesn't have any negative effects on me tho. I can drink coffee in the morning to wake up, and at night to fall asleep haha
Taylor, I like these types of vlogs the best. I like seeing the area, the restaurants, what you eat, the weather, and I love seeing Tom and Rosie in your vlogs.....loved this one and was hoping you would do one like this soon! I like to see you and Tom interact, it's cute! I have to have 1 cup of coffee in the a.m. first thing and then that is it for the day. What if you just have 1 in the morning and none in the afternoon? I could not sleep if I had afternoon coffee ! I def feel a difference, foggy etc. when I don't have my coffee in the morning, if you have to drive somewhere it could be dangerous! ....at least for me. :)
Thanks for letting me know ❤️ I could go back to one but I thought it’d be best if I just cut it all out for now. One of the main reasons is for fertility.
Havent' watched taylor in a while, but I saw her thumbnail pop up in my feed. Watching this vid gave made me how much I missed watching taylor! Binge marathon incoming
I was a caffeine addict and I've been on decaf for a month as well! It's a torture, but I realizes it improved my mental/physical health a lot. Hope it'll work out well for you too!💛🧡
Love this! Especially how up front you were about your disaster lunch experience. Not many influencers show the reality of those kinds of days 😊 also loved your sudden detour about coffee 😄
I went a whole year without caffeine in my life and I never stop craving it and I was on holiday one time and had a bit of caffeine best feeling ever and yes I got hooked straight back on to it. 😅
Always love to see / hear Tom in the vlogs!! His sense of humor is so dang funny. Love these recaps of the month as well .. glad to see you two doing well and the truth about insta lunches going wrong 😂
Went without coffee few times. Life is not as enjoyable. I love coffee, I enjoy coffee, everything about it makes me happy. Plus, caffeine doesn’t affect me so, coffee will stay in my life ☺️☕️
I’m convinced your dog is just a robot. There’s no way shes real, she never makes a peep and always looks like she understands you. She’s too cute to be real!!!
I really appreciate how real and genuine you make your content. Nice to see creators not filtering out every tiny "imperfection" of their daily lives. xxx
I watch your videos while working. i play it in the background. Your voice is calming. Please consider doing a podcast. Hearing you talk helps me focus. Seriously! 😍
Hi Taylor! The pacing of this video was great! I was so happy to see a ~25mins video and enjoying the shots ^_^ Tom is so funny when he said it was a DISASTER hahaha.... Bless your family!
This is one of the most authentic TH-cam channels there is. Such great content and the editing is extraordinary. Thank you for the fascinating insight into life in Hong Kong.
I've had coffee maybe 10 times in my life (I'm 28). I always shock people when I say I don't drink it. I don't like the taste, the way caffeine makes me feel (nervous and paranoid), and now as I've gotten older I've noticed that even decaf gives me gastrointestinal problems. I pretty much only drink water and my favorite drink in the morning is ice cold water.
I quit coffee 2 years ago. Initially because of stomach problems but the positive impact it had on my sleep was really surprising. I occasionally drink black or green tea, when I have one of these afternoon slumps at work. Also like half a cup with friends or family :). This is my first time commenting, I really like your videos.☺️
I missed your vlogs so much Taylor! Absolutely love them 💕 The rain was so cosy 🥺 I personally swapped coffee for matcha latte and never looked back. It’s a perfect morning or afternoon treat, gently boosts your focus and calms you at the same time. Plus all the antioxidants! It’s the best alternative imo 😉
I’ve been having some really bad days and I was thinking that the only thing I wanted to do is watch a new video from you and this popped out as I opened YT. Let me tell you I felt so grateful for having a new vlog from you, Tay. You always achieve to calm me down and I owe you a lot for your amazing content, for all these years of bringing me and all of us so much joy 💛 Pls be careful out there and I’ll be waiting for more wholesome content of yours. Love from Spain xx
I quit coffee 6 years ago and I don't miss at all anymore! I still drink tea, occasional decaf and I can't drink coffee anymore as it makes my heart beat too fast. But it'll be the best decision you make- all the health benefits AND you save so much money. When i do visit cafes (quite often) I opt for a chai/matcha latte instead :) Keep it up!
I'm now caffeine free well decade and it was hard to start especially with focus since I have ADHD but I've found that breaks every 5 minute after 30mins of work helped me. Love you girl I'm glad to see your doing well!
Hey Tay! Transitioning to decaf or no coffee at all can be harsh, I found that doing it slowly is a good option: I suggest that to begin with, you mix some decaf ground coffee to some regular one and day by day you decrease the amount of regular coffee in the mixture to, finally, none at all. This way your body gets used to it and you don't go through a withdrawal as bad as this one! Lots of love
I stopped and the first day was hard but it got so much better. I felt more energy actually and less nervous. Now I do drink coffee again, but very consciously only when I know it would actually help me to drink a cup of coffee now, when I’m extremely tired and I need to be in an appointment or meeting.it feels like I took control over it and before coffee had control over me. Feeling balanced now 🙏
Getting notifications of you uploading make me so happy and excited! I miss the times you uploaded so much, but im also glad that you upload less but long and amazing content :) its better for you mental health as well. Gosh just crazy how time flies having in count im here for 6 years already and i will forever say you the best and my fav youtuber ( also you got me hocked and crazy with Japan )
I had a similar experience going off caffeine recently. I think it's good to take breaks and let your body go without it for a bit, but then I find myself always going back because I enjoy my life more when I have a good drink to look forward to. Loved your video!
I just love the way how Tom gets more and more comfortable being in your vlogs and shows bits of his humorous side hahaha, it really makes me laugh how serious you try to be in your vlogs, explaining things and he be like on the background acting silly and ruining the seriousness hahahaha.
Thoroughly enjoyed the vlog! Tom's commentary was hilarious 😂 I’m not addicted to coffee. In fact I’m actually caffeine sensitive to the point that I shouldn’t drink anything caffeinated past noon or else I run the risk of not going to bed by a reasonable. The reduction of coffee might help you feel less anxious too. I can drink matcha in the mornings, and it’s been a great addition to my morning routine.
Lovely video and outfits featured! I love all the places you take us. I love watching your videos when I am feeling depressed and having trouble getting out of the house. Your videos, attitude, thoughts, daily habits, and lovely video style really help put me in the right frame of mind to leave the house 🥰. Thank you, negativity husband-san (😂), and Lil Rosie.
In my hometown, we are being lockdown for covid pandamic and I sick enough to stay at home for a long period. Your excursion boost my spirit really much. Give you a hug
I tried to stop drinking coffee about 2-3 years ago, but found I missed it so I tried drinking a cup or two of coffee after 12:00 (mid-day) instead. It worked much better for me and my sleep, and I still try to keep it like that today, even if I have coffee cravings in the morning.
I've been decaf only for years, but on the occasion somebody gives non-decaf by mistake (everyone is human - it happens!), I do feel super hyper and sometimes very anxious. If it's matcha, less so than if it's coffee.
So, my weather matched your rainy weather. With coffee, in summer I'm good on my morning coffee only. Winter, I have 2 - one in the morning and one around 7pmish.
I also quit drinking coffee. The concentration difficulties will fade. Trust me. I also miss it, but I feel so much better so I won't go back to regularly drink coffee. Coffee is more a treat for me. The hotel room as well as the food looked amazing. If I get the chance to travel to Hong Kong I definitely would love to stay there.
I went back! Haha I love tea and coffee. It brings me so much calmness and joy drinking it because I think of memories like being with my grandparents. BUT I have started trying to have weak coffee and decaff at night.
You make me want to move to Hong Kong so bad 😭 Haha. Do you think you guys will stay there for good? You're so good at showing local culture and hidden spots!
@@ErininCopenhagen hong kong is very expensive it looks good because she married a rich man and she come from wealthy family also. Literally some people live in cages there sorry don’t believe all fantasy you see in youtube for few minutes
@@desertmoonlee6631 you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. People living cages are just on the lower end of the poverty line. That’s like saying don’t move to the US there are homeless tents everywhere. You don’t have to be rich to enjoy Hong Kong. My family is middle class, you don’t need to be rich for Hong Kong’s amazing cuisine and culture
@@desertmoonlee6631 well you are talking about two different extreme here, people with average income would live with their family in some 400 square feet unit, and certainly people with average income won’t drive around or catch taxi on a daily basis - this is luxury living.
Taylor, if you add sugar it counteracts the salt :) It won't work perfectly so if it's way too salty it might not be salvageable, but it's definitely worth a try! Lemon juice (citrus in general) works too - next time you oversalt something just add sugar and some lemon juice :)
I usually do a 1 week coffee detox once every 1-2 months just because I tend to overdo it and then the caffiene doesn't even wake me up anymore. Its good to give your body a break! But I really enjoy coffee so I always go back to it 🤎
I love these vlogs with travel and cuisine that are not easily accessible to me. This time I am also taking away two recommendations (1) the paddle brush straightener technique (2) the Majolica Majorca lash expander.
I had to give up coffee (drs orders!) for a bit and after a month you do totally adjust. Then one night I had my favorite tiramisu for dessert and I couldn't sleep! I didn't even think about the coffee in it! Now I do a lot of half-caf and it gives me the gentle pickup and I don't need multiple coffees to get me through the day.
The raining parts were so calming. We really havent gotten rain in south finland its too hot and dry for a nordic country(inned finland had bad storm yesterday tho but it skipped the coast areas)
Billow! That’s a restaurant I’ve known since childhood because we’d always go past it on the train - it’s super visible being so white and all 🚂 Definitely brings back memories! 🥺
I had fresh juice for a month to kick the caffeine habit. The juice gave me a lot of energy. I only went back to it because my husband was having heart issues and when you stuck in the hospital that was the only thing I thought about so went for it and I am not giving it up again.
I tried quitting coffee for a month. I drink so much coffee you wouldn't believe it - some days it's all I drunk. So I decided to quit to feel better or at least different. I was scared for withdrawal and headaches and tiredness, but literally nothing felt like it changed! I could totally go without, and what I missed most was the warm feeling and the smell of coffee in the morning.
I cut off coffee back in june, and have been without it ever since. Like you said my sleep has gotten better. I do drink 1 cup of Black tea and that's usually enough to keep me fueled. I don't miss it
I gave up caffeine over 5 years ago. I felt similar to how you described the afternoon. It was a struggle to accomplish anything. My doc said to increase my water intake but it wasn’t enough. My boss allowed me to take longer break - I started a 10+ minute light exercise/yoga/stretch/walk routine around 2 or 3pm with water (or another liquid: juice, smoothie, etc) to get back that energy. It’s worked so well after the first week or two. Now, I do yoga or walk at that time even on the weekends.
I like coffee for taste! ❤️❤️❤️ I feel the Rainy Season pain! This year in NY/NJ we're having Asian/tropical rainy season with afternoon rain most days (and nearly every weekend all day!) I like rain, but after a while "it's enough". I find you and Tom so relatable! Been on both sides of the "restaurant recommendation" story! Also, RIP your beautiful dish! Potato hack works...but I guess not for that magnitude. 😭
I felt so unwell when I went back to coffee after not having it for a few months, I felt nauseous and dizzy and spaced out. I occasionally have caffeinated tea now but mainly stick to decaf and I feel a lot healthier for it 💕
I quit coffee for 6 weeks and during that time, I had great fun drinking every herbal tea under the sun! When I tried coffee again after that, I got jittery and couldn't concentrate at all because the caffiene hit me so strongly. I love the taste of coffee though, so it is now back in my life.
I haven't been watching your videos in years and now I come back to see that Elbow-san is now called Tom :') Time flies so fast, and it's so nice to see him being comfortable with the camera now!
I switched last year to half caff because fully caffeinated coffee increases my anxiety. I did notice an improvement in sleep. If I need an afternoon pick-me-up, I first try drinking water. If that's not enough, I will then allow myself a cup of decaf.
I went for a full month without coffee in January. It was really hard at first but got better. I felt the same way as you do/did after one month. Right now I am only drinking one cup of coffee in the afternoon, so I could easier concentrate. After one month without coffee, my first sip of coffee felt like I was in a sugar rush. Caffein also helps me with my migraines. In the mornings I usually drink green tea.
1:34 i don’t know when you took this video but we had the type stormy/ rainy climat in France it was awful for a couple of days lol also very depressing when you think you’re in summer and you’re gonna enjoy yourself outside and weather blocks everything 😂 Also side note but your thumbnails since a couple of vids are looking really cool loving the format it feels more dynamic 🥰
I quit coffee since May, it was so tough on the first 5 days of withdrawal, I was so slow, foggy and tired 😫 😴 I didn't realize how much addicted I was to coffee until I stopped! Now I am doing so much better and as you said, sleep is way better 😊 Keep going Taylor 💪 you can do this as well 😊❤
Am without coffee for over a year and a half now. Still drink tea but I find that I'm no longer sluggish or craving caffeine late in the afternoon and sometimes even forget to have caffeine at all. I also drank coffee because I loved the smell and taste. You mind find yourself quite jittery or not able to sleep even 8 hrs after your first coffee. My heart was beating soooo fast when I started up again last time I stopped. Don't think I'll ever go back now though.
Try matcha! Its usually around 50% less caffeine than coffee. It has lots of health benefits as well. Personally drink it in the afternoon as a pick me up
Hi!! I quit drinking tea last year because I was moving countries and I thought it would help me with my anxiety. I went about 6 weeks without relying on caffeine of any kind and I have to say I wouldn't recommend it at all! It left me way less productive and almost made me feel depressed? I think I'm so used to having that morning buzz that my body was in shock... I will still go without caffeine on days where I'm feeling anxious, as I'm usually running on adrenaline anyway, but this is rare. I think I've struck a happy balance where a single cup of Earl Grey tea in the morning is just the right amount of caffeine I need for the day. I never have caffeine in the afternoon or evening and I sleep like a rock! Good luck finding what works for you!
Love your videos! Oh my goodness is it ever hard to kick caffeine / coffee. I literally drink it all day. I’ve tried to switch to barley tea but I love that first sip of a perfect homemade coffee in the morning and buzz while I work from home it’s kind of engrained in me at this point! Hope you have a lovely weekend. Sending love from 💌Winnipeg, Canada 🇨🇦♥️
I only started drinking coffee in the last few years and have tried to stop but have the same issue. I really need it to stay focused and awake while I'm studying. I just can't go without it. Tea doesn't do it for me. But if I am just at work, I don't need it.
I’ve been watching your videos since you were in Japan wearing liz Lisa and I haven’t been subscribed during this whole time~ subscribing from a long time viewer!
Omg!! I realised that whenever I straighten my hair I always run my fingers through the strand of hair while running the straightner along with it and that's why my hair straightens with little effort while having wavy hair too. People always wondered if its my old ass straightner doing the trick, but now I'll just let them know 😯 Great video Tay
Basically June was filled with rain 🌧 and some other fun things that are highlighted in this vlog. Hope you enjoy it! 🥰❤️
You are so pretty I am awestruck.
Nothing beats the sound of rain ! Lovely vlog. Kisses from sunny Portugal
Taylor! I switched to matcha and I haven't touched coffee in over 3 months now. I used to drink 2 cups and pre-workout before but now I only have 1 cup of matcha with unsweetened oat milk and I don't think I'll go back to coffee again!

It may be not the case for you, but you never know, maybe good to look it up.

I love how many things went “not according to plan” but the positive attitude and and not taking it too seriously was really refreshing :)
☺️❤️
Tom was so funny in this one. I'm so glad he's willing to be part of your videos now 😊
I laughed so much when he kept nodding in the elevator lmao
@@mirrormimi me too!
Tom is getting so comfortable with camera and his personality is so cute 😍
I’ll show him this, he’ll be so happy ☺️❤️
So funny .. Tom is getting into his outspoken husbandry !!
Y'all are so cute.

This is awesome communication. The willingness to make changes for your partner. This will be a long and strong marriage!👏🥰
Tom saying "Disaster" would be an amazing ring tone for texts from someone you don't want to hear from
😂😂
looool Tom in this video:
"Then Rorsie peed, pooped and vomited all at the same time."
"Disaster"
"Makes no sense!"
"Husband negativity."
Rosie probably had heatstroke.
oh and do not forget him repeating the "gO tO YoUr hapPY PLace kEeP cIRCuling" lmao

Tom is hilarious 🤣 Rosie pooped! And peed! And vomited! ALL AT THE SAME TIME 🤣🤣🤣 DISASTER
I've been decaf only for years, but on the occasion somebody gives non-decaf by mistake (everyone is human - it happens!), I do feel super hyper and sometimes very anxious. If it's matcha, less so than if it's coffee.
Such a fun video so so good to see you and Tom and Rosie again
看Taylor的视频 真的能感受到生活的快乐！作为一个美好的女孩子 真的好好啊！幸福 快乐！！好好努力 充实的生活！乐观积极 真棒！！！taylor多多更新视频呀！！
So, my weather matched your rainy weather.
With coffee, in summer I'm good on my morning coffee only. Winter, I have 2 - one in the morning and one around 7pmish.
I also quit drinking coffee. The concentration difficulties will fade. Trust me. I also miss it, but I feel so much better so I won't go back to regularly drink coffee. Coffee is more a treat for me.
The hotel room as well as the food looked amazing. If I get the chance to travel to Hong Kong I definitely would love to stay there.
I went back! Haha
I love tea and coffee. It brings me so much calmness and joy drinking it because I think of memories like being with my grandparents. BUT I have started trying to have weak coffee and decaff at night.
You make me want to move to Hong Kong so bad 😭 Haha. Do you think you guys will stay there for good? You're so good at showing local culture and hidden spots!
I’m really happy to be here, I love this city!
We do plan on moving to Canada later on when our family grows ☺️
@@Taylor_R Can't wait to see that chapter unfold for you 😊 You'll be a great mom one day ❤️
@@ErininCopenhagen hong kong is very expensive it looks good because she married a rich man and she come from wealthy family also. Literally some people live in cages there sorry don’t believe all fantasy you see in youtube for few minutes
@@desertmoonlee6631 you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. People living cages are just on the lower end of the poverty line. That’s like saying don’t move to the US there are homeless tents everywhere. You don’t have to be rich to enjoy Hong Kong. My family is middle class, you don’t need to be rich for Hong Kong’s amazing cuisine and culture
@@desertmoonlee6631 well you are talking about two different extreme here, people with average income would live with their family in some 400 square feet unit, and certainly people with average income won’t drive around or catch taxi on a daily basis - this is luxury living.
Taylor, if you add sugar it counteracts the salt :) It won't work perfectly so if it's way too salty it might not be salvageable, but it's definitely worth a try! Lemon juice (citrus in general) works too - next time you oversalt something just add sugar and some lemon juice :)
I usually do a 1 week coffee detox once every 1-2 months just because I tend to overdo it and then the caffiene doesn't even wake me up anymore. Its good to give your body a break! But I really enjoy coffee so I always go back to it 🤎
I love these vlogs with travel and cuisine that are not easily accessible to me. This time I am also taking away two recommendations (1) the paddle brush straightener technique (2) the Majolica Majorca lash expander.
I had to give up coffee (drs orders!) for a bit and after a month you do totally adjust. Then one night I had my favorite tiramisu for dessert and I couldn't sleep! I didn't even think about the coffee in it! Now I do a lot of half-caf and it gives me the gentle pickup and I don't need multiple coffees to get me through the day.
The raining parts were so calming. We really havent gotten rain in south finland its too hot and dry for a nordic country(inned finland had bad storm yesterday tho but it skipped the coast areas)
Billow! That’s a restaurant I’ve known since childhood because we’d always go past it on the train - it’s super visible being so white and all 🚂 Definitely brings back memories! 🥺
I had fresh juice for a month to kick the caffeine habit. The juice gave me a lot of energy. I only went back to it because my husband was having heart issues and when you stuck in the hospital that was the only thing I thought about so went for it and I am not giving it up again.
I tried quitting coffee for a month. I drink so much coffee you wouldn't believe it - some days it's all I drunk. So I decided to quit to feel better or at least different. I was scared for withdrawal and headaches and tiredness, but literally nothing felt like it changed! I could totally go without, and what I missed most was the warm feeling and the smell of coffee in the morning.
That "go to your happy place, keep circling" made me crack 😂😂😂
I cut off coffee back in june, and have been without it ever since. Like you said my sleep has gotten better. I do drink 1 cup of Black tea and that's usually enough to keep me fueled. I don't miss it
I gave up caffeine over 5 years ago. I felt similar to how you described the afternoon. It was a struggle to accomplish anything. My doc said to increase my water intake but it wasn’t enough. My boss allowed me to take longer break - I started a 10+ minute light exercise/yoga/stretch/walk routine around 2 or 3pm with water (or another liquid: juice, smoothie, etc) to get back that energy. It’s worked so well after the first week or two. Now, I do yoga or walk at that time even on the weekends.
What a beautiful restaurant! Completely understand why it’s always booked out.
I like coffee for taste! ❤️❤️❤️ I feel the Rainy Season pain! This year in NY/NJ we're having Asian/tropical rainy season with afternoon rain most days (and nearly every weekend all day!) I like rain, but after a while "it's enough". I find you and Tom so relatable! Been on both sides of the "restaurant recommendation" story! Also, RIP your beautiful dish! Potato hack works...but I guess not for that magnitude. 😭
I felt so unwell when I went back to coffee after not having it for a few months, I felt nauseous and dizzy and spaced out. I occasionally have caffeinated tea now but mainly stick to decaf and I feel a lot healthier for it 💕
I stopped drinking coffee as often and have noticed the sleep thing. I also have stopped focusing on stuff!
I quit coffee for 6 weeks and during that time, I had great fun drinking every herbal tea under the sun! When I tried coffee again after that, I got jittery and couldn't concentrate at all because the caffiene hit me so strongly. I love the taste of coffee though, so it is now back in my life.
Hahahahahaha Tom nodding in the background of the furniture shopping clip sent me xD
I haven't been watching your videos in years and now I come back to see that Elbow-san is now called Tom :') Time flies so fast, and it's so nice to see him being comfortable with the camera now!
I switched last year to half caff because fully caffeinated coffee increases my anxiety. I did notice an improvement in sleep. If I need an afternoon pick-me-up, I first try drinking water. If that's not enough, I will then allow myself a cup of decaf.
You can honestly pull off any style so effortlessly, from beautiful billowing dresses ☺️ to super edgy ensembles 😎 and always with confidence
Love your husband's honesty when he shared his commentary of lunch🤣
I went for a full month without coffee in January. It was really hard at first but got better. I felt the same way as you do/did after one month. Right now I am only drinking one cup of coffee in the afternoon, so I could easier concentrate. After one month without coffee, my first sip of coffee felt like I was in a sugar rush. Caffein also helps me with my migraines. In the mornings I usually drink green tea.
1:34 i don’t know when you took this video but we had the type stormy/ rainy climat in France it was awful for a couple of days lol also very depressing when you think you’re in summer and you’re gonna enjoy yourself outside and weather blocks everything 😂
Also side note but your thumbnails since a couple of vids are looking really cool loving the format it feels more dynamic 🥰
I quit coffee since May, it was so tough on the first 5 days of withdrawal, I was so slow, foggy and tired 😫 😴 I didn't realize how much addicted I was to coffee until I stopped!
Now I am doing so much better and as you said, sleep is way better 😊
Keep going Taylor 💪 you can do this as well 😊❤
Am without coffee for over a year and a half now. Still drink tea but I find that I'm no longer sluggish or craving caffeine late in the afternoon and sometimes even forget to have caffeine at all. I also drank coffee because I loved the smell and taste. You mind find yourself quite jittery or not able to sleep even 8 hrs after your first coffee. My heart was beating soooo fast when I started up again last time I stopped. Don't think I'll ever go back now though.
you are my fave, Tay. Send you lots of love and a huge hug. xx
Try matcha! Its usually around 50% less caffeine than coffee. It has lots of health benefits as well. Personally drink it in the afternoon as a pick me up
Love your vlogs, Tay! :)
Hi!! I quit drinking tea last year because I was moving countries and I thought it would help me with my anxiety. I went about 6 weeks without relying on caffeine of any kind and I have to say I wouldn't recommend it at all! It left me way less productive and almost made me feel depressed? I think I'm so used to having that morning buzz that my body was in shock...
I will still go without caffeine on days where I'm feeling anxious, as I'm usually running on adrenaline anyway, but this is rare. I think I've struck a happy balance where a single cup of Earl Grey tea in the morning is just the right amount of caffeine I need for the day. I never have caffeine in the afternoon or evening and I sleep like a rock! Good luck finding what works for you!
I hack for the dinner mistake. Put everything through a sieve and make a new sauce. Done it before. XD
Love your videos! Oh my goodness is it ever hard to kick caffeine / coffee. I literally drink it all day. I’ve tried to switch to barley tea but I love that first sip of a perfect homemade coffee in the morning and buzz while I work from home it’s kind of engrained in me at this point! Hope you have a lovely weekend. Sending love from 💌Winnipeg, Canada 🇨🇦♥️
Even when things go wrong, you guys still have fun!
I only started drinking coffee in the last few years and have tried to stop but have the same issue. I really need it to stay focused and awake while I'm studying. I just can't go without it. Tea doesn't do it for me. But if I am just at work, I don't need it.
I came back to see the before after haircut photo so satisfying 💗💗
I’ve been watching your videos since you were in Japan wearing liz Lisa and I haven’t been subscribed during this whole time~ subscribing from a long time viewer!
Omg!! I realised that whenever I straighten my hair I always run my fingers through the strand of hair while running the straightner along with it and that's why my hair straightens with little effort while having wavy hair too. People always wondered if its my old ass straightner doing the trick, but now I'll just let them know 😯 Great video Tay
