Hunu Collapsible Pocket Cup

March 26, 2021 No Comments

Hi Friends,

Hope you’re all keeping well. I haven’t been on the blog for a while because we’ve been renovating our new house, but I took a little break today. I was chuffed to receive my Hunu collapsible pocket cup in the post yesterday.

Thanks to the lovely people over at Hunu I was able to have my coffee on the go this morning!

The great thing about the Hunu collapsible cup is that it fits compactly in your pocket or bag and is light as a feather. It comes with a little heatproof band for when using with hot drinks to protect your hand. That wraps around the cup when its folded down so it’s really compact for traveling. read more

June 4, 2019 2 Comments

Hi Friends,

Today I am doing a review of my new fave eco-friendly reusable bamboo coffee cup and straw. Sorry I’ve been absent from the blog lately but I have been crazy busy. Moving house, renovating our new bar and restaurant and having guests come to stay. We are opening in just over a week so it has been a tad hectic to say the least! I will be updating you guys on that soon but I want to spread the word about my latest fab finds first!

I am a member of the Ethical Influencers team and as a lovely perk of that, I was given the opportunity to receive a gift of choice from a wonderful eco-friendly and sustainable shop called WAKEcup. They sell a range of sustainable everyday goods that help cut down on single-use plastics. I was delighted to be given the opportunity to try their eco-friendly reusable bamboo coffee cup and straw. read more

holding hands on a path - symbolising giving up alcohol as a journey

Hello Friends,

I gave up drinking over a month ago so I thought I should post a blog post on how I gave up alcohol and tips to quit or cut down. I genuinely feel way better in myself and my life has changed so positively since kicking the drink.

Giving up alcohol was a huge step for me. I have thought about it so many times over the years, too many to remember. Growing up in Ireland, the drinking culture was a big part of life. It seemed as though, once I was old enough to buy alcohol, it was a huge victory. I was somehow led to believe that alcohol was the be all and end all of life! read more

A nice teapot and teacup for brewing healthy tea and relaxing

There have been many studies done on the various teas available and their health and skin benefits so I am going to highlight some of the findings here. Some teas have been found to help with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, cholesterol and weight loss. Flavonoids in teas are good for your heart and may even reduce cancer. Tea has antimicrobial qualities. There are many and varied types of tea available on the market with plenty of variations to choose from. However, the main and purest form of teas are green tea, black tea, white tea, oolong tea and pu-erh teas. All of those originate from a plant called Camellia sinensis which is native to India and China. Among the flavonoids and antioxidants in this plant is ECGC. It is known to fight against the free radicals that are associated with cancer, clogged arteries and heart disease. read more
