CAFE Review : Warning, Coffee addict at work

CRAZY GOOD 

Last week while waiting for my Husband to have his haircut, I walked past the most cutest coffee shop, in Ahuriri, Napier! OMG! I felt like I had walked into an original Wellington coffee house. It had the originality of Wellington, and the swag of downtown coffee capital. 

When I ordered my usual (the TFW), the guy serving was like "uh we don't serve trim here"...and I was like "Uh I don't care, give me a taste of your goodness".... and I'll review you thank you very much...

Anyways, it took like 10 minutes to get all the coffees done, and while I was waiting, he continued to serve others, the locals you could tell by them saying 'the usual, please'. Sorry about it..

Once I had my coffee, that first sip seriously took me back to living it large in the capital, alongside the unique coffee hubs. 

To say I would come back is a definite, the coffee was on form, service was okay, but the cute little signs and croissants had won my heart. 

Coffee used: Firsthand coffee

Milk used: Origin Earth milk (Organic of course) 

there is also a selection of Ya Bon breads and pastries and All Good Organics sodas.

Overall, I guess I'm excited to continue to try out new places and check out the latest coffee places, I'm all for feeling like I'm back home amongst coffee roasters and cafes galore.

Fashion statement.

Storm, is my new retail store that I'm currently working in.  Its a New Zealand brand and made clothing boutique, its stunning, unique and always on form for the latest style. 

Check it out, its called Stormonline.com 


In the next seasons line, we are seeing a lot more grey, marvel, golds and sequins, which is my ultimate favourite set of colours. 

Cannot wait to start earning a bit more cash, to afford some of these gems. We also supply New Balance shoes which are defiantly a favourite and comfortable for a long day in retail. 

something I've learnt this week. while I worked only three days in a row last week, my body completely crashed afterwards, I spent the next three days in bed. I'm not sure if I had caught a bug or if my body was running low. But I learnt that it's so crucial to take a step back if you can and listen to your body. My default is to just keep going and don't stop. But having a lot of time off lately has made me appreciate the time we have, when we prioritise it properly. 

Three things I changed it up this week, that I did to listen to my body.

1. Ironically, I stopped drinking coffee. I was drinking a little too much that I needed three solid days without it, and unusually I was feeling off towards it. I felt good to come off it slightly, and today I had my first one and it was great. All I needed was the one, and I fuelled my body with water and fruit and light snacks to help come back into reality as I worked today.

2. I forced myself to sleep, as funny as that sounds, I actually find it hard getting back to sleep after I'm already awake, I can't usually sleep in, because once I'm up, I'm up! So I took the effort to get back to sleep in the mornings and had a nap in the afternoons as well. It helped my headaches and tired body. 

3. I spent less time on social media then I ever have before, I didn't check Instagram, and very often did I check Facebook. I didn't feel the need, as I wasn't in the mood to socialise thru that way. It all felt so refreshing not having to use my phone or laptop to 'check in' on everything. 

Overall I felt like a new person, and I guess sometimes we need to just simply listen to our bodies, as they know us best! 




Heres a little preview of our other engagement shoot that we won, it was such a fun day! 
Next post I'll link both our 1st and 2nd engagement photo shoot! Both show such different views, and are so awesome! Cant wait to show you.

What are you waiting for?

Its already nearly MARCH. Have you got that? MARCH? Where has the year gone. This year I decided to not make those new year resolutions like most years. I hate the idea of getting inspired for like a week and go back to normal habits of life. I decided to change it up a little. I've decided to embrace each month and pick three things to work on for that month. 

As (January) was leading and preparing for our wedding, I was committed to healthy eating, making time to write down things so I would remember and taking the time to spend it with friends that matter.

February. A few days after our wedding we moved to Napier, and I wrote down three things I wanted to do and work on while I was new to the city.

1. Make the most of the time off, read a book, go for a walk, explore Napier

2. Be intentional with the people you meet, if you like them and see a that it could be a friendship thats healthy, make an effort to get to know them


3. Forget the things that don't matter. For most of us, we can linger thinking of the what if's and the things we've made mistakes with. I've come to decide that those things really affect your future and I had written down some things I didn't want to hold onto, and how I was going to do that. So far, Ive completed over half of them, and I've seen myself be able to trust more and believe for greater things for my life, and my new life with my husband. 

This week I start part time study, part time work and in between, just relaxing and getting things done. I'm very happy to be here now, I've accepted it and know I can trust what is happening with my life. I believe this year is going to be amazing, and I'm so excited for each month, and to work on things slowly during that month. 

Off to write about March soon...
