Finding a decent coffee

I love having a my coffee each day and been trying to not buy coffee from a coffee shop all of the time and use the jars of coffee I have and has made a difference but will treat myself to a Costa Coffee for example, but not all of the time. If you add up the amount a coffee from a coffee shop costs it can really damage your bank balance. 

I am choosy when it comes to coffee and Greggs for do a decent Latte and is out of a machine rather than a coffee maker, and is cheaper than a coffee shop. 

When it comes to a cup of coffee you want it to be smooth and not bitter. Cafe Nero for example I find their coffee too strong and so will go for a Chai Latte or a Hot Chocolate. 

They say that Coffee can cause Anxiety which I read in a book, but for me it is different and it wakes me up and find it fills me up, and have to have a cup. I have the Sainsbury's Freeze Dry Jar of coffee and is my favourite out of the others ones, and was once upon a time, would be Kenco but no, not now and so worth a try. 

It all depends on how strong you like your coffee. Paul's is very nice and very smooth, and do nice mini chocolate donuts, which is a treat, but good to have at the weekend, or today I had a hot chocolate to have a break from coffee with a chocolate twist and so worth it. 

So where do you like to get a decent coffee? Please leave a comment below.

Coffee and cakes

So I thought my son had his first Babyccino this week, but found out that it wasn't and he didn't like the hot milk version but cold. This was in Costas and I love their cornflakes cakes and even though I do have a coffee machine in my home they aren't as good. However, using the coffee machine at home, has saved me a lot of money and same with instant coffee, which I have at my son's home in Epsom, and going to buy myself another jar of coffee and cold latte sachets to save the pennies.  My son drinking his Babyccino I do often will pay a visit to Cafe Nero if I fancy a Chai Latte and love their Bacon and Brie Panini, but can be pricey so I now cut this down to having this once a month, and tomorrow was planning to visit Starbucks, but I had to catch myself, because why buy a coffee from Starbucks, when I buying coffee in a supermarket?  Am I alone in this?  It is double the expense, and I know I could stop drinking coffee, but I love my coffee in the morning and dayti

Why I like my own mug

Hello sorry it has been a while since writing on this blog. If you didn't know I am doing a life coaching programme "The Summer Project 2023" and is helping you have a better year and happy life, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   I have created videos that are on my main Youtube channel for this project and so check it here via this link:  typicallondongal  It is June 2023 and today whilst having my first cup of tea completed the first draft of my book and feels so good to have this done. Having my own mug helps with that and it just something that gives me comfort.  When working in offices you would be asked to have your own mug if you wanted a cup of tea and coffee and thought that this was such a good idea and it makes it a homely environment. Of course if you work in a supermarket not so good because eating and drinking in front of customer is unprofessional, but doesn't mean you can't bring your own mug use it when you take a break

Take good care of your skin

Noone likes dry skin including myself and if I don't moisturise each day that is exactly what it does and from a kid have looked after my skin and it can really help how you are feeling and so having a good skincare routine each day is important.  My main two are my Nivea creams, and for a while would use baby oil and E45 but these products can be expensive, not unless you have a Savers near you or Poundland. I would like to try different brands, like I have one by Olay, but not really used it.  Getting into the habit can help do wake you up each day and I mean the skin. I do wear make up but not a lot because I like my skin to breath.  I am trying to balance it out though as I would like to put on make up regularly, but can't establish a routine at the moment, as I have been concentrating on getting back into my exercise.  It's not that I don't like the make I have, its just putting on a simple look but I am going to try as of tomorrow as it does help my confidence, an
