THIS GIRL FOUND A GENIUS WAY TO KEEP A RECORD OF EVERY COFFEE SHOP SHE'S EVER VISITED WITHOUT USING A PEN. AT EACH NEW CAFE, SHE POURS A LITTLE COFFEE ONTO THE TABLE, PRESSES THE BOTTOM OF HER CUP INTO IT, AND STAMPS A RING ONTO A PAGE OF HER JOURNAL. UNDER THE RING GOES THE NAME AND THE ADDRESS. PAGE AFTER PAGE, CITY AFTER CITY, EVERY STAIN IS A PLACE SHE SAT DOWN.
