S & E's Tip #5 ☕️💗

S & E's TIP OF THE WEEK: Munchie Mate! (Have a meal together that you normally wouldn't have together!)

When S & I were in college we started this thing that we called Munchie Mate Mondays!

Although we lived together we found ourselves really busy with school and work and we wanted to try to fit some time in together. It's also important to note that we both went to different schools and worked at different places... none were close to each other lol.

I had about an hour between my classes every Monday so we coordinated it so S would meet me at my school (he had more time open than me) and we'd go have lunch somewhere together for the hour. Our schedules weren't really aligning great at the time so it was really nice to get that extra time together and go on a mini date!

We kept it up for the semester after that (our final semester)... even though it was moved to a different day so we just shortened the name to Munchie Mate! But the timings got a little weird that semester so we changed it up and met somewhere in the middle!

Now that we've graduated and work from home we still try to keep the idea of munchie mate going in our daily lives! We usually have dinner together which is pretty easy for us but sometimes lunch could get a little complicated. We try to put in the extra effort to coordinate our schedules to make sure that we can sit down and have lunch together.

If you and your person don't work from home it can get a bit tougher but still doable! (We did it so you can do it too!) You can try meeting somewhere in the middle for lunch or if one of you has a bit more time than the other then they can meet the other person a bit closer! Or you can try doing breakfast together before you go to work! Maybe if one of you leaves before the other you can wake up a bit earlier to have breakfast together! If your schedules really don't allow you both to meet up you can even do a video call! It's all about putting in that extra effort to ensure that extra strong and special relationship.

No matter what your situation is you can customize your own Munchie Mate and it definitely can be super helpful in your relationship. Sometimes when things get too busy in life it can be easy to feel disconnected with each other. Munchie Mate is a great way to regroup, spend some special dedicated time with your person, and keep your connection strong!

It's easy to share a meal together when you both have the free time but it makes it even more special when you both put in the effort to share a meal together when it's not necessarily the ideal time but you both figure it out anyway.

SO FOR THIS WEEK:

Try out a Munchie Mate and have a meal together that you normally wouldn't have! So if you always do dinner together but never do breakfast try adding a breakfast! Or if you always do lunch but never dinner try adding a dinner etc! It doesn't have to be every day, it can be 1 day, 3 says, 5 days, or 7 days a week! It's all up to you and your person! Just put in the extra effort and your relationship will thank you for it!

Well that's all for this weeks Tips and Tea with S & E! ☕️💗

Let's keep our relationship growing
and our connection glowing!
