But there is something about that logo and hot sleeve on a starbucks cup. I don't know what it is. I travel for work, and when I show up with that cup in my hand, I feel more powerful. I have no idea why. I think it is just the hard hitting world of consumerism that we live in. I always think I am above it, but I am not. To show the world that I can afford this coffee (which is more expensive for me to make soy), and enjoy it like everyone else gives me worth.
I call BS on myself.
Saying all of that out loud makes me sound ridiculous. I am a strong, powerful, and frugal gal who is above all the marketing and media. I am. I don't need no stinkin starbucks cup! That stands for more of what I DON'T want to be than what I do want to be. So lately I have been embracing another power symbol; the reusable mug!
That's right everyone, I am a mom, with a super corny travel mug of my husband and my baby. I am drinking homemade tea/coffee because I am smarter than paying for a 5$ cup of coffee, so I am making it at home for 16 cents! And I am earth conscious at the same time.
Bam!
That's what I think about that.
