Just drink it

Hey whatsapp!  We mean what's up! Welcome back to our blo..zzzz...g

Well as you can gather, we haven't had our cuppa joe’s yet which means we are lifeless inside and can barely function. 

We dedicate today's blog to our fellow coffee addicts out there and just like us, we are certain that all of you need a daily dose of that magical potion.  Yes, you know the one; made from magic beans (not the green healthy type of bean) that can easily bring us all back to life!

Oh and, by dose, we mean 4 or 5 cups, OBVIOUSLY! 

*sips on coffee* 

So how do you like to expresso yourself? Do you go for the old school style Cappuccino, the macho macchiato or are you a laidback latte lover?

​​

There have been some studies assessing what types of coffee people typically drink and how they are associated with their psychological and personality traits.  The results might not be true for everyone so we would recommend you take our findings with a pinch of salt (or, erm, sugar)

​​

Found this intriguing?  Well the next time you’re sitting with your IPad in your favourite coffee joint sipping on your hot Americano and charging your phone, take a look around and see if you can notice a connection between that on–the-go hustler with his double expresso or that creative young lady updating her Instagram with the pretty heart on her latte.

​​

FYI This is not how we hold our coffee cups...but look at those nails though! If you haven't already done so, head over to our shop and treat yourselves to a set of hand painted claws!

So, as you can see, coffee has its fun perks but did you know that there are some not so delightful side effects. We’ve decided it would be rude not to share them with you. So here it goes, brace yourselves…

• Nervousness
• Restlessness
• Stomach upset
• Nausea and vomiting
• Increased heart and breathing rate
• Headache
• Anxiety
• Agitation….

Wowza. Crazy or what!  Bipolar alert!!!  You would think after reading all of that, that we would consider starting our day with a healthy smoothie instead of this wild addictive drug!  Yes, drug! Ideally we’d love to do things such as being able to say words properly and put our shoes on the right feet without having to indulge in the smooth delicious “must have coffee nowwww” madness.  But it has been proven that Coffee can give you that extra confidence boost where you feel like you can conquer the world. So our verdict is; yes, to coffee and no to air.  Yeah baby! 

PS:

We advise you not to get this mug and fill it up with coffee.  It does not work.  It’s obvious what it should do but, it simply does NOT WORK!!! Arrrghhh!

​​

So we’re going to go out for a stardollars…dollars? Well you know Starbucks. Will Coffee fix our bad jokes? Erm cappucinooooo

Hello...hello from the other side

Ok, so here we are, welcome to our wonderful world of snogging. Sorry, we meant blogging!  

Reasons for blogging? Well, er, kind of forced to do so by our friends and family who say we are far too crazy minded not to advertise our weird and special ways. (We prefer the word unique though - far less insulting).

Some of you reading this will probably already know us for our passion in Nails; not the metal kind that Ikea uses for putting furniture together but the kind you'd find on the tip of your fingers. If you've already bought our creations - thanks, if not, then what are you waiting for..?  A bus...?

Yes, lets! Is a blog created for the modern day girl or boy with a passion for all things beautiful (or not as the case may be).  

We’ll be covering all topics from fashion, beauty, food (yum), travel, lifestyle and we’ll be exploring the best of all the weird and wonderful places we visit. 

No doubt we’ll have some humour and random shenanigans to share with you so you’ll definitely get an idea of who we are – you poor things!! 

So, some friendly tips: -

1.       Don’t take offence to anything we say or do, no point upsetting yourself now is there?
2.      We will try our best to make you cry (tears of laughter that is) - tissues, you need tissues!!
3.      With too much laughter comes pee so go find a toilet or something…(We wouldn’t recommend lampposts)
4.     Most importantly, enjoy our journey with us as it’s probably going to be far more interesting than the  person behind you…(did we make you turn around)?! Haha! 

So are you in or out? Why did we ask that? Obviously you are in!

So enjoy, have fun and try not to judge

Kidding. You can judge.

P.s you can also find this post on our about page

Tea time at The Muffin Man

Let us introduce you to The Muffin Man! No, we aren't talking about a human size man made out of cake mixture - quite to our disappointment! We are talking about a ‘Traditional English Tea room’ aka a ‘café’.

You'll find The Muffin Man tea shop in West London, hidden down the back streets of High Street Kensington tube station. Due to its unique, traditional and unusually attractive decor, the average customer ranges from the sort of older generation to lost tourists who are in need of a nice brew to warm themselves up!  So clearly, it would be rude of us not to join in to mix things up a little….

​​

​​

​​

First off, we went in for the obvious choice; a traditional English pot of tea alongside poached eggs on toast.

As you would expect, the pot of tea was nicely presented in a traditional Victorian looking floral tea set however, it wasn’t just your average kind of tea. They call it ‘loose tea’ which means that the tea isn’t actually brewed in tea bags (cray cray)..... So if you aren’t keen on bits floating around in your cup then maybe just stick to a glass of water or perhaps just don’t forget to use the sieve they kindly provide with your pot (duh!)…

​​

​​

The poached eggs on toast was nice but we felt as though there had been a shortage of toast….Two eggs and one slice of toast?  What were they thinking!  It had all gone in 30 seconds (only a slight exaggeration) but luckily for us, they are really in to their cakes and muffins. 

They have a great selection making it difficult to choose just one! However for the sake of our waistlines we decided to fill our boots up (not literally) with their delicious red velvet creamy muffin.

​​

(YUM)

The main disappointment to our visit is the non-existence of a life size man dressed as a muffin!  Maybe, if he did actually exist, the staff would be a friendlier bunch!  Maybe even carry a smile, perhaps?  All in all, the food selection is quite minimalistic and the portions aren’t really big enough for huge foodies like ourselves but we’d definitely be coming back for a muffin or two. 

PS: They don’t take card payments so be sure to bring some queens heads with you if you visit! 

Muchos besos
