It's all Hippening

A few months back I pre-ordered a Ban.do Agenda/Diary from Hippenings, which is an on-line shop that sell all kinds of Awesome party swag, original and alternative wedding decorations, wedding favors, and of course Amaze-balls paper goods, gifts, party headgear and tonnes more, all run at the helm by the stunning Laura Cunningham (@cunninghamlaura) . I  know I may sound a bit crazy to some of you , but this Agenda is thee best thing I have ever set my beady eyes on ,to any-one out there who has got their hands on one of these , You will know exactly what I am talking about.
From cover to cover this Agenda is filled with stunning artistry, cute little compliments, fun stickers and then some!!

I ordered the Ringleader 17month Agenda, but it also comes in the Florabunda style as-well, which is just as beautiful and also has an identical interior. these Amazing little pieces of heaven retail for 27.50 euro from Hippenings

There is not one page inside this Agenda/Diary that I dislike,  I bought this for the purpose of my wedding planning but I have yet to set pen to paper as I don't want to spoil it in anyway ( tiny bit crazy).

 I love the silly little compliments dotted about here and there aswell as the inspirational words of encouragement on the monthly starter pages.

One of the most awesome parts of the ringleader is the cute secret code

at the very front of the Agenda ,The little secret pocket at the very back and the hilarious "hair washing decision page" is also up there with one of my fav things about this Diary.

Included amongst these fine pages is a list of all the fab artists that have designed each monthly header along with each one of their social media handles, be sure to check them all out.

The fact that it came with a hand written thank you note from Laura herself really gives this purchase the perfect finishing touch and makes it that bit more personal.

I don't want to spoil too much for those yet to purchase, so I won't share too much.

If you guys haven't checked Hippenings out yet, Firstly where have you been?,  and secondly please do, I am sure you will be just as hooked as I am with everything on this site.

I hope you all are having a fantastic day, but for now its love, hugs and kisses from 

Coffee Perfection

Last week I entered a give-away from Belfast Coffee Co. on Twitter to win one of their pouches of ground coffee. I was sooo chuffed when I was announced as one of the winners as I have a wee addiction to coffee (  I just love the stuff) plus they are a local company and I am all for supporting any local buisness . I had seen these guys on twitter and Instagram and had full intentions of purchasing their coffee anyway and after trying it out I am 100% going to be their number 1 customer.  OMG this has the best flavour I have ever tasted!!! 

I received the Ethiopian Sidamo Hawassa , this coffee is picked at the Hawassa municipality in the Sidamo region, fully washed and given a high acidity body, then carefully hand roasted at their local roastery , it is so full of flavour and has an almost citrus taste to it ,soo delicious!

My coffee came packaged in a little brown baggy,wrapped in a brightly coloured paper sleeve with the company logo proudly displayed on the front, as well as the exact date that the coffee was roasted and the best before date. This company certainly knows how to provide perfect attention to detail from the flavour to the packaging, I cannot fault this product in any way at all.

If you wanted to try a little something extra you could add a little flavoured syrup, my favourite at the minute is one from Asda, its only £2.99 so doesn't cost an arm and a leg, I buy the vanilla, a little sweet for some but I just love it. 

The coffee retails at £6.49, I have been using mine with my coffee filter and have barely got half way through the baggy yet, and considering I drink alot of coffee this is such a fantastic price to pay, and the fact its local produce is a huge bonus. oh and "BRUCEY BONUS" they mail the coffee straight to your door (£2.99 p+p) , I mean come on, who needs to go to Starbucks or any other big coffee shops for that matter when you get service like that eh , and considering they are a new brand there customer service is second to none  !!!! The whole aim of this company is to help promote the "Third Wave" coffee movement in Northern Ireland through their coffee and social media (links below). They are hoping to bring the Northern Ireland roasters+brewers together to make this a wee centre for coffee around the world, how cool is that! so keep an eye on their social media for upcoming events and announcements, give them a wee like/follow and show them your support for home produce.

You can find these guys on Twitter Instagram Facebook Google+ or of course pay a wee visit to their website here and have a wee look around at all the fab products they sell (NOT JUST COFFEE)

I hope you all have a fab evening, for now its love, hugs and kisses from
