Listography - My Top 5 Mugs!

-
Oh my word!  How did I miss Kate's Listography this week??!  Loving the weirdness of it all.  It appeals to me as I often say and do completely random things.  Great idea Kate!


1.  My 'Alison' Mug
My mom bought this for me roughly 16 years ago when I still lived in South Africa.  I remember seeing them at the Pick 'n Pay in Constantia Village shopping centre and just had to have it for some reason.  This is by far my favourite mug.  I usually have a nice cup of Rooibos tea with a dash of honey in this.
2. Her Ladyship Mug
Another mug from my mom.  I think it came from Past Times?  My hubby has the His Lordship mug.  It holds less water than most so it's perfect for a small cup of tea before bed.  Don't think I drink coffee in this one?


3.  Gorgeous Petunia Mug
This is one of a set of 6 beautiful floral mugs which funny enough, also came from my mom!  These were bought as either an engagement or wedding present and I use them when I have guests around.  I tend to use them more in summer for some bizarre reason?  


This is definitely a tea mug for me but if you want coffee in this, I'll happily make it of course!


4.  Super Mum Mug
This was bought for me by friends for my 28th birthday when I was 6 months pregnant with Isabella.  We had a delicious lunch at the Fighting Cocks which is said to be one of the oldest pubs in England.  It's one of my favourite places to go for summer drinks as it's so close to the park.  


I would like to think that Isabella thinks I'm a Super Mum?  This is definitely a coffee mug!
5.  Party Animal Mug
This is a Secret Santa gift from my previous job in London before I went on maternity leave.  I think it was Christmas 2007 or 2008? I'm not quite sure.  It had a sleep over party at Strawberry Moons.  Another definite coffee mug.  Love it!

Beanies Christmas Coffees and Fab #Giveaway

A few days ago I introduced you to Beanies, The Flavour Co.  Their coffees are lovingly made in a special process bringing to you top quality premium flavoured coffees. Limited edition Christmas instant coffees are now available in these three fabulous flavours: Christmas Pudding Mulled Spice Winter Warmer So, what do they taste like? Christmas Pudding - aroma of Christmas pudding with a hint of brandy cream.  Delicious Christmas pudding after taste too which wasn't over powering, so could be enjoyed as an after dinner treat, or lunch, whatever takes your fancy.  Actually made me feel like having a mince pie to go along with it. Mulled Spice - first thing that came to mind was, of course, mulled wine.  It's quite spicy as far as a coffee goes, and to be honest, did not agree with my palate.  It does conjure up visions of a white Christmas spent around a roaring log fire.  Once again, I felt like mince pies... Winter War...

Competition and Review: Zappie - bringing walls and clothes to life!

Zappie  is a wonderful new app that brings pictures to life right in front of your eyes.  The first of it's kind, Zappie uses the latest augmented reality technology to bring very cute images and products to life anywhere from walls to t-shirts. Zappie was designed to support pre-school children as part of their development and play.  Not only do the wall stickers look beautiful but they can transform even the dullest of rooms into a gorgeous fun and educational space.   We were sent a set of the "I'm a Little Teapot" stickers so that we could see for ourselves just how lovely they really are.  The quality of the stickers is very good and even little hands find it easy to peel them from their sticky backing sheet and apply to the wall.  The images are large, beautifully detailed and typical of traditional English nursery rhymes, which I find very appealing. To get the images to come to life I download the free "Zappie" Nursery Rhyme a...
