Ahhhh Monday. My new morning ritual is dog walk → make tea (today’s was fresh ginger and lemon) → turn on some jazz, open my computer, and start grinding. Lemme tell ya, some soft jazz in the morning has really changed my life. Especially with this fall weather… chef’s kiss. I highly recommend.

If you’re trying to get into your jazz era with me, enter our giveaway to see Jeff Goldblum & the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra with the Seattle Symphony at ​Benaroya Hall on 10/11!*
