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 and I find it helps me to take a good break and I like doing my content creating with my mug filled. My tea and coffee is my fuel and gives me that boost I need each day.

It stops me from buying coffee from the coffee shop as doing this all the time can be expensive and I love making myself a coffee in one of my mugs. I like instant coffee and my source of medicine, if it is Caffeinated or Decaf. 

Some may frown on this like people do these days, but I like my coffee and my tea and not willing to give these up. They along with spending time with my son, family and friends, help me to get up each morning and you have to have these luxuries in your life. 

If you known someone who may be lonely then why not make them a coffee even if it is neighbour and invite them round, and have them bring a mug of their own or if you can spare money to buy them their own mug for when they come round then why not do that and have a chat, do a puzzle and just keep them company. 

I just watched along with writing this post watched a programme that was on Channel 4 (but I watched it on Youtube) called Dispatches and talking about forgotten pensioners and it is so upsetting to see people struggling and so want to share because the more we highlight these issues the difference we can all make. See it here via this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btAffz83MB4 

Mugs can be great as gifts with different teas and coffees, and great to sell at a Car Boot sale. 

There are so many ideas and I love receiving mugs as a gift, not hinting in anyway, but if friends and family read this then an idea. 

Many thanks for reading,


Carrie X

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

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
