Cup of tea and a Mag

Shopping with my son I really wanted to read a magazine with a cup of tea. It took me ages to find where they were and not something I buy all the time now. Buying a magazine all the time, I wouldn't read them so would be a waste, so it is something I buy now and then and will on the occasion buy the Big Issue.


I love to just have a cup of tea, Yorkshire Tea or Tetley Teabags and a the Woman And Home magazine. 

It is good to read up interviews and just a break from books. I do love books but treat myself to a mag and do get inspired by many of them articles. Not just celebrities but normal folk where people have begun a hobby and now it is their business. 

I remember reading about a woman who lost her legs in the London Bombings and became a wheelchair Professional Wheelchair Netball Player.

It is good to have sometime to chill and on Saturday it was a rainy day. When shopping we each allowed us to pick 4 things to buy and it was good. Doing different things and having that time to read about others lives is great for my mind and my body. 

Switching off being online can be a relief to your mind and having such lovely home comforts. 

I like to have coffee on most days, but I like tea if I have a magazine and just small pleasures fills me up and helps to manage my thoughts and ease tension. I am a anxious person so learned by doing things that help manage my wellbeing, calming and manage my thoughts and relax. 

It is good to switch off. It is good to have some time by yourself. It is good to read a magazine whilst travelling. It is what fulfills you and having a magazine with a cup tea does that for me.

What do you do to switch off? Do you like a magazine with a cup of tea? You can leave comment box below. 

Many thanks for reading,

Why I love baths

Image
Just had a lovely bath with Himalaya Salts and feel so refreshed. No this is not an advert, I just love that I have baths instead of showers now. I been listening to a Podcast and listened to one by Ken Bruce, Greatest Hits Radio with Elkie Brooks and singer I grew up listening to as my dad would play her songs.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhyn1WSGhXQ I don't have baths everyday, but every other day and alternate with my son, so he has a bath one evening and I have a bath the next evening and is my time I like to spend. Yes I do get disturbed being a parent, when in the bath. I am sure you can resonate, if you to are a parent too. There was a time where I'd have showers and I do at the weekend, but love having soak to relax and recuperate.  What do you prefer bath or shower? Please put down in the comment box below.  As I walk a lot, I like to allow my body to recover and some do ice baths. This has become a trend and seen on Instagram of celebrities getting ont...

Spending a day on the sofa

Image
Today took me a while to wake up and always happens this time of year, autumn 2024 and I have been active, did a walk on the treadmill and now going to spend the day on the sofa.  I find this time I have to myself, whilst my son is at school to be chilled and peaceful as my son is so energetic that it is can be a shock to wake up early and so have time to work on blogs, have a nice lunch in between and tomorrow going to go out and to have a coffee, do some writing in a coffee shop and go to B&M, which is now one of my favourite stores.  However, today it is me watching a bit of Youtube, catching up on my google blogs and other blogs I write on Wordpress, along with working on a book I am writing and going through emails.  Of course I do need to dry up from Breakfast, but will do this once it gets closer to lunch and hydrate and then get back on the couch and do some more on my laptop and may catch up on some TV.  Well that lasted. As my husband just popped in, wh...

Having a Coffee and a Mince Pie

Image
It is less than 19 days before Christmas and luckily I have only two more gifts to buy and then there is the food and already got items to drink and not going to drink the whole day but as we get nearer and afterwards too and looking forward to a chill out day.  My son decorating his tree We have our decorations up and not bought anything as we have quite a bit and put the Christmas tree into my sons room as we have no space in the Living room and he was very pleased, because he had decorated it all by himself.  As I write this blog I am having a coffee with a Mince Pie and why I wanted to write this post as Christmas is about not worrying about weight or feeling guilty but enjoyment and something I have to have when it is Christmas time. It wouldn't be the same if I didn't. I feel it is going to be a good Christmas with no expectations, but having food and drink that I don't have for the rest of the year and music too.  Watching a bit of TV and what I miss about not havi...
