What could be better than Dunkin’ coffee and amazing-smelling candles combined into one? To celebrate National Coffee Day on Sept 29th, Dunkin’ has announced a new collaboration with home fragrance company, Homesick. Starting at 10. am. on Sept 27th, coffee lovers can browse and purchase these limited-time coffee candles right from Homesick’s website.

Back in 2019, Dunkin’ offered a similar collaboration with Homesick — so we’re excited to see what this year’s collaboration will bring. The following two options will be available for purchase:

Original Blend Candle ($34.95): The candle features notes of espresso bean, cold brewed coffee and cream.
Perfect Combo Car Freshener ($12): The air freshener combines the scent of a Dunkin’ frosted strawberry sprinkle donut with iced coffee.

Could more coffee keep you stronger as you age? New study says yes

Maybe drinking 4 to 6 cups a day is the answer

Pouring a cup of coffee

Have you been secretly hoping there's something good from your coffee addiction? New research suggests that coffee drinkers who regularly consume 4 to 6 cups of coffee per day may be at a decreased risk of frailty. According to a new study published in the European Journal of Nutrition, consuming 4- 6+ cups of coffee daily is associated with a lower risk of frailty in older adults. This latest study finding is the first that explores how coffee intake can impact various components of frailty, based on Fried's five-component frailty phenotype, a tool used to assess frailty in older adults. The tool examines multiple symptoms of frailty, such as weight loss, weakness, exhaustion, slow gait (walking) speed, and low physical activity.

Unlike previous studies that link coffee consumption to a decreased risk of developing chronic diseases, this innovative study explores how long-term coffee-drinking habits could affect strength. The researchers used data from the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA), which followed 1,161 adults aged 55 and over for seven years. Ultimately, the results of this study indicate that those with a higher habitual coffee consumption may be at an overall lower risk of frailty, which could be a direct result of the antioxidant content found in coffee. Researchers hypothesize that antioxidants may reduce inflammation and fight against muscle loss and damage.

Make yourself a grown up cognac cocktail for National Lemonade Day

Lemons

The first Saturday in May each year is dedicated to National Lemonade Day, as the weather warms up and the demand for cool drinks soars. Kids are encouraged to try their hands at entrepreneurship by setting up their own lemonade stands, and everyone gets to enjoy a refreshing beverage. And as a European, even I must admit that American lemonade, with its sharp flavors from fresh lemons, is truly a cut above the soda-like beverage which we call lemonade on our side of the pond.

If you're looking for a more adult take on a lemonade, though, then you can always try out a cocktail. While there are plenty of classic cocktails which feature lemon juice -- most notably, the whole family of sours, which consist of lemon juice, a little sugar syrup, and a spirit -- there are fewer which take advantage of lemonade. With its bold flavors and plentiful sweetness, lemonade can be overpowering to some ingredients, so you need to use a spirit with plenty of body and flavor such as a cognac.

I tried Dunkin’s Signature Pistachio Lattes — and loved the surprise

Waffle cone pieces are an unexpected, yet welcomed surprise

Dunkin' Signature Pistachio Lattes

Pistachio is the hot new flavor in the world of coffee, and Dunkin' is joining in on the fun. Launched yesterday, Dunkin's new menu items are here for spring, which include the Iced Pistachio Signature Latte and the Hot Pistachio Signature Latte. Since 2018, Pistachio Coffee has been a returning fan favorite at Dunkin', but this is the first time the brand has created a latte variation of Pistachio Coffee.

This new twist, available in hot or iced form, combines rich espresso with a swirl of nutty, subtly sweet pistachio flavor, topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and waffle cone pieces. (Yes, you heard that correctly) Dunkin' has added waffle cone pieces to these new lattes, an unexpected addition that took me by surprise -- in the best way possible.
