i'm pretty sensitive to caffeine, so i have to stay away from it sometimes. but i still like finding ways to have a fun little drink! green & black teas both have a bit of caffeine, but herbal teas have no caffeine. if you want to replicate the feeling of getting a latte, you could ask the barista to froth any kind of milk into an herbal tea. you can also add cold foam or syrups to make it feel more like a coffee latte. some places even offer sweeter or dessert-flavored herbal teas with chocolate, or things like that.
you can also make your own tea lattes at home! all you need is tea bags or loose-leaf tea, milk, & a really cheap milk frother. you can even make your own syrups by dissolving sugar into hot water, or sweetening it with honey! there's a big range of herbal teas out there, so you might be able to find one you like, or one that tastes similar to coffee.
WRNING: if the herbal tea has citrus in it, don't add milk! citrus + dairy curdle when they're put together :(

I love to make a whole thing out of having caffeine by adding something different every now and then or elevating the drink with a steamed milk or infusion. Examples include adding mango nectar to my matcha lattes, adding chai to my iced lattes, mixing hibiscus tea into my green tea or adding fresh lemon, etc. Spending a little more time to jazz it up seems to be such a minute thing that has made the morning less painful

if iām at my favorite coffee shop iām getting their special honey cinnamon iced latte. SO DELICIOUS !!!!!!!!! but if iām somewhere else i usually go iced latte with soy milk. if iām feeling fancy i get a little vanilla syrup in there too which blends with the soy milk to make a subtle marshmallowy taste.

What @MOSSYELFIE said but also for your coffee shop dilemma, order decaf. Even if it's not on the menu they all usually have it. Or get a hot chocolate, or an orange juice, or a soda, or a pastry. You can still go to your coffee meet ups and get a little treat. I know the importance of meeting up for coffee. You could also suggest a different place tho, usually I feel like a dessert is a good stand in. Boba, fro-yo, ice cream, cookie shop, bagels, that sort of thing.

This is the only thing that keeps me sane at work. It's so slow right now. If anyone is wondering why I've posted like 9 times today.

I love doing collages, cuz all you really need are magazine cutouts and glue. There's a very low barrier to entry, skill-wise AND supply-wise, unlike painting. Digital collages are fun too, but I try to have less screentime by doing the paper ones. If I want to re-use pieces instead of gluing them down permanently, sometimes I'll just take a picture of the current arrangement to immortalize it, and then start over on a new composition. That way, I don't have to constantly buy new magazines to get new cutouts. This is one of my favorite ones I've done so far:

if you have a job that lets u read in ur downtime, they're a great portable option that doesn't require you to invest full focus like you would if you cracked a novel open on the clock! plus they are cheap & open you up to all sorts of niche content you wouldn't encounter otherwise :)
