If we were “having” coffee #14 😗☕️

Hi everyone! Welcome to a good ol’ chatty post where I fill you in on the comings and goings of my life and hopefully get an insight into yours too (because I’m a nosy bish 😉🤣). I don’t want to bring the mood down but things have been rough lately as one of my cats died. She was only a little over a year old and she got hit by a car. She was really my sisters cat as they were very close so its been hard navigating through this time. We’ve been looking for the small joys in anything and everything in order to get by and right now I’m really in the mood to type out a cosy blog post so that is exactly what I’m gonna do! We all get through things differently and I’ve always found blogging to be a very healing activity and source of escapism so here I am world, take me or leave me 🫡.

I’d like to start off our “having” coffee chat by saying a massive THANK YOU for your support on my last post where I told you about my new small business!! 🥹 I honestly can’t put into words how your comments made me feel (but I’mma try! 🤣). I was so nervous thinking was it the right time to open myself up in a sense and let people know as I’ve just been head down focusing on it by myself for so long but it actually feels like a huge relief that you know now because I can prattle on about it openly and we can be excited together ☺️. I’m so happy that we are going on this new journey and I hope to make you guys proud with it ✨️💗.

Without further ado, let’s get down to the nitty gritty of our chat, the literally coffee granules! (Decaff for me of course, I’m not out here tryin’ to get a migraine 🤣). If we were “having” coffee…..

I would tell you that I passed my marketing communications course!! 🥳 Well my tutor said I passed, that could completely change once the board are assessing for my certificate but we won’t talk about that (a lil snippet of my stress showing its rear end there 😂). *Update: My award was verified by the board and I’m getting my cert in September 🥳🥳 . It feels good that the course is done as since then I’ve been focusing on my tshirt business and a few other things that I’ve lumbered myself with because its like I don’t want to not be busy or something 😅. This shows itself in the fact that:

…At the time of typing out this post I am currently taking part in a webinar boot camp (I won’t say what its called as my personal info is on there) but it started today (I’m typing this out on a Monday night), its carrying on again tomorrow and then the last live is on Wednesday but I just love webinars and learning new things so I’ve got a completely separate webinar happening on Thursday and then I’m sure I signed up for something on the 30th but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was or find it now 🤯. Anyway, I enjoyed today’s first insight of the boot camp and got a lot of information from it so I’m looking forward to the rest of it!

If we were “having” coffee I would ask you if you like to learn new things and also how would you compare that to when you were in school? I feel like I kinda enjoyed my last year of school as I was working at my own pace from home even tho it was tough but I’ve become much more of a “learner lover” in 2025. Theres just so much out there! 😯

If we were “having” coffee I would mention about how I’ve been cooking and baking a lot! I’ve made banana nut breakfast bread, jaffa cake brownies, Mongolian Pork, tteokbokki, Spanish meatballs in an almond sauce, sweet potato tikka masala and high protein chia pudding which you can find the recipe for here. Of course this is all spaced out over the last 2 or so months but I just love being out in the kitchen with the radio on dancing the day away!

If we were “having” coffee I would ask you what your favourite meal is and do you make it yourself? I’d love to know as I feel like there might be a huge difference in choices as we’re a community that is all over the world! 🌎 My favourite meal at the moment is teriyaki chicken skewers that have leek on them as well, they’re from Tesco and they’re too good 🤤 I could live off of them I tell you! 🤣

If we were “having” coffee I would tell you about last Saturday night! Our electricity went when my sister and I were watching an UDY Loyalty Test episode on YouTube (seriously, check them out if you havent already! Any other fans out there? ❤️‍🔥). We tried watching something on my tablet but decided that we wanted to go for a drive instead to break up the evening as my mum had rung to check when the electricity would be back and the automatic area call said 1am so we were like “we’re outta here!” 🤣.

At the last minute I decided that I would surprise my sister and I’d buy us some Taki’s (these spicy crisp things) as on UDY their tagline mentions that you go get some takis because its about to get GOOD before they show someone cheating 🤣. My sister had no idea I was gonna buy us Takis as I thought it would be so funny. I ran into Tesco ten minutes before it closed and grabbed them alongside the new 7UP Pink Lemonade as my sister had mentioned she wanted to try it and we parked up in the car where I showed her what I’d got us and we just had a really nice time chatting and listening to an Oasis tribute that was going on in town, we could hear the crowd screaming! 🤣 It was just a really nice moment together and a great way to round off the day that I’d told you about my small business! 💝

If we were “having” coffee I would ask you if you’ve ever seen a tribute concert and what it was? I’ve just been to loads of Beatles tributes with my dad 🤣. My sister has been to way more than me, mostly centred around The Beatles and David Bowie and The Beach Boys (the latter was an early birthday gift from me! She went with dad as do you guys remember how I said The Beach Boys weird me out a bit in this post? 🤣😅).

If we were “having” coffee I would ask you if you feel like this year is going by fast?? 😵‍💫 I feel like this is the year that I’ve been doing more things to account for my days but they still seem to be zooming by! Like my mums birthday was at the beginning of July, then my dad’s will be at the beginning of August and my sister is in September….it feels like there’s not enough time between these events to process what’s going on 🤣 but luckily I’m all prepped for them as its been a fun things to keep my mind on just to give them all a good day! ✨️

If we were “having” coffee I would ask you how you have been doing? like seriously. I hope you’re well and finding joy in the little moments in life because we all know they amount to so much more 💫. Let me know in the comments what you’ve been up to lately! What’s the weather like where you are? Yeah, I truly wanna know, ti’s raining here in Ireland so send us some sun….please? 😚🤣

I’ve gotta go now but I really enjoyed this coffee chat, we need to have more!! I don’t really talk that much IRL with the medication I’m on kinda numbing me but when I write, it all comes flowing out and it feels sooo good!! 😄 I hope you enjoyed reading and got involved in the comments if you wanted to as thats a choice you gotta make! 🤣

I’m gonna love you and leave you, sorry (I’m not sorry – as dear old Demi Lovato says, not that they’re old!…….do you know what, I’mma just leave 😂). Sending good vibes your way for a happy and healthy day, stay safe, take care and buh-bye! ✨️💗
