i hate to say it… but coffee isn’t my main character anymore ☕️💔

Before you clutch your emotional support latte, relax.
I still love coffee. Coffee and I have history. Coffee held me during my “I’ll sleep when I’m dead era”, like a ride or die friend who never asked questions and always showed up hot.

But lately?

She’s been a little too loud.
Jittery. Crashy. Giving anxious ex energy who texts at 7 am for no reason.

So I did something shocking.
Something controversial.
Something very girls that get it.

I started begining mornings with bone broth.
Yes, bone broth. Stay with me.

the warm little switch that changed my mornings 🍲✨

e.

Every morning, instead of immediately mainlining caffeine, I sip a mug of Kettle and Fire lemongrass ginger beef bone broth with turmeric and fresh ground black pepper. The pepper is non negotiable. We will discuss this later.

And let me tell you, this combo is doing things.
Good things.

It’s warm. It’s savory. It feels like my body pauses, exhales, and says oh wow, you’re actually taking care of us today. Like swapping a blaring alarm for soft morning light through a window.

why i’m low key obsessed and why you might be too

skin that looks like it drinks water 💅

Bone broth is packed with collagen, which supports skin elasticity, hair strength, and nail growth. You know that glassy, hydrated look that makes people ask if you went on vacation? That vibe.

Is bone broth the only reason my skin’s been giving well rested goddess? No.
Is it helping? Absolutely yes, and I will take the win.

gut peace equals confidence you can feel 🦠

A happy gut changes everything, and I mean everything.

Better digestion.
Less bloating.
Less inflammation.

Which translates to fewer days where your jeans feel like they’re holding a personal grudge. There is nothing more humbling than feeling cute until your stomach says otherwise, and bone broth has been quietly keeping the peace.

anti inflammatory energy that minds its business 🔥

Turmeric and black pepper together are a power couple. Think old Hollywood romance, not modern chaos.

They support joints, help calm inflammation, and give grounded energy instead of caffeine chaos. The kind of calm that feels like a clean kitchen and an empty inbox, even if neither of those things are actually true.

Important note that I will say with love. Black pepper helps your body absorb turmeric. Do not skip it unless you enjoy sabotaging yourself just a little.

calm, focused, unbothered mornings 🧠

This is the biggest shift.

Before, my mornings looked like racing thoughts, a mid morning crash, and anxiety with no clear plot.

Now, I feel steady. Nourished. Like I have my life together, even when my laundry situation says otherwise.

Coffee still comes later.
Bone broth just sets the tone first, like stretching before a workout or putting your phone down during previews at the movie theater. It changes the whole experience.

is it complicated because absolutely not

Let’s be clear, this is not a twelve step wellness ritual.

You heat the broth.
You add in some fresh or dry/ground turmeric.
You add fresh ground black pepper.
You sip it like a wellness influencer who actually sleeps.

That’s it.

No blender.
No powders with names you can’t pronounce.
No cult initiation.

final thoughts from my morning routine influencer era 💋

This isn’t about giving up coffee. I would never betray her like that.
It’s about adding something that loves you back.

Bone broth feels grounding.
Feminine.
Very I care about my future skin and my present mood.

If you’re a girl that gets it, you already know this to be true.
How you start your morning changes everything.

And this one?
She’s staying.
