Drinking coffee is part of our daily routine. Whether you have to have it first thing in the morning, grab it on the way to work, or leisurely sip it during the office hour, coffee restores our energy.

You can have your coffee in many different ways - black, with milk, with chocolate or egg, but in this piece, we're delving into two of the most popular methods of making coffee - espresso and drip coffee.

So what’s the difference between the two? It all comes down to the brewing process. To brew drip coffee, you simply pour hot water over coffee grind. Espresso is a bit more complicated and requires a machine to shoot hot, pressurized water through fine ground-coffee beans.

To brew the perfect espresso and drip coffee at the comfort of your own home, here are some tips to get you started.

Are you feeling the diet drain?

This is the phrase I use to refer to how it feels when you’re a few weeks into a diet and just can’t seem to get yourself to feel content or motivated about your new, healthy eating plan.

Check out my following explanation of these two ovens to know which is right for you and why!

My little Beagle Max and I love to play outdoors. In our yard, at the dog park, and even on hiking trails, we have a great time exploring together.

But I always have the thought of “oh, we have to get home soon” on my mind when I’m out with Max, so I never feel truly relaxed. After talking about this with some dog-owning friends including Helen, founder of Hi5dog.com, my best friend, they suggested we all go on an overnight camping adventure… with our dogs!

And that is how Max and I ended up spending just over 30 hours at Malibu Creek State Park with some friends. Here’s what we did - and why I think you and your pup should try it, too!
