8 Podcasts That Got Me Through 2020
I’ve listened to podcasts on and off for a few years – but it wasn’t until the end of 2019 and all throughout 2020 that I properly started listening to them.
For the majority of lockdown, I only saw about 4 people; so, I felt like listening to people talk on podcasts made me feel less lonely. That’s probably a bit sad, but it’s true*laughing They’re easy to listen to when you’re commuting, doing housework and just about anything – especially if you don’t feel like listening to music.
16 Films You Have To Watch This Christmas
I absolutely love Christmas – it just makes my heart happy. One thing that I love doing at this time of year is watching cosy films. The majority of the films mentioned are actual Christmas films – but I have mentioned a couple that aren’t necessarily Christmas related, but I just enjoy watching at this time of year. I could have mentioned so many more – but I didn’t want to bore you😂
This won’t be the most informational blog post, but I just thought that it would be a bit of fun to have a chat about some Christmas films.
Let’s Talk About Boobs…Again
If you know me, then you’ll likely know that I talk about boobs a lot. I’ve struggled with body confidence throughout my life and always had such a negative view of most of my body. However, I’ve pretty much always loved my boobs🧡
Whether you have big boobs, small boobs, perky boobs saggy boobs – whatever your boobs are like they’re great! And I’m yet to find anyone that disagrees😂

My Ultimate “Day Off” Routine
I’ve been planning this post since long before this solo blog was even an idea. But I just struggled with what to write. I realised that this was because I rarely actually pamper myself or look after myself in any way. Therefore, I’m trying to make more of an effort to do this and put myself first. I probably should have done this more during lockdown – but as I said I’m not always the best at looking after myself – but I am working on this🧡
Why You Should Always Start Your Day With An Inspirational Quote
After chatting with a colleague of mine recently, we started talking about how inspirational quotes impact us in a positive way. I love a quote, so I thought that I would do some research into why we as humans tend to love a quote and how it can impact us. So, shout out to Steve for the inspo🧡
7 Tips For An Organised Mind
After the popularity of my recent procrastination post, and people asking about some of the tips that I mentioned, I thought that I would create this post about how I stay organised.
When it comes to work, I’m always super organised. I work as a receptionist in a youth club and always bring in my own notebook to write pretty much everything down. My colleagues find it funny, but it’s come in handy when we all forget any passwords or other important notes😂 I have terrible memory, so if I didn’t write things down I would never get anything done or remember to pass on messages to the right people😂
My Love For Whittard’s Hot Chocolate
If you love hot chocolate, but haven’t heard of Whittard’s, then this is the post for you!
Whittard Chelsea has quite an interesting history (which you can read about here 1). But in summary it was created in 1886 by Walter Whittard where he would sell coffee and tea related products. Since then, they have increased their stock and now offer a range of products. This includes; tea, coffee, hot chocolate, tableware and barista equipment.
To add, this isn’t the cheapest brand, but it does make a lovely treat and would make great gifts (they also do their own gift sets).
How To Put Off Procrastination
I’d just like to mention that I procrastinated A LOT while writing this post as I ended up looking at crime stories – I blame Bailey Sarian as I was watching her at the same time (see previous blog post). Plus, I definitely procrastinated doing it for reasons that will be mentioned in this post.
Let’s just start by saying that I know a lot of people procrastinate. It’s just something that we as people do. So, I thought I would do some research into the subject so we can delve into why we procrastinate. I definitely learnt a lot about myself writing this post.
My Current YouTube Binge List
Oh look…another favourites post! I’ve been doing a lot of watching during lockdown…*laughing crying emoji* Id I’m completely honest I’m not very loyal to many YouTubers. I tend to use YouTube when I’m looking for specific videos – makeup, holiday packing, style inspiration etc. So, this post is more of a round-up of the people I have been watching the most during lockdown. I will likely make a few of these throughout the year – but here is who I have been watching recently.
My New Best Bud...Disney+
I’ve loved Disney for as long as I can remember. So, when I discovered that Disney+ was coming to the UK I knew that I had to purchase it. And truthfully, it’s one of the best things that I have ever purchased. Disney films and TV shows fill me with so much happiness and nostalgia and has definitely helped me get through this lockdown and crazy world that we’re currently living in. Therefore, I thought I would compile a list of what I have been watching on Disney+ if anyone is looking for some inspiration or if you just want to be nosey – because who doesn’t.
My Top Picks On Netflix - June 2020
I watch Netflix most days, so I thought that it was only right that I do an update on my favourite shows. I will likely end up doing one every few months as Netflix are forever switching up their content and I absolutely love it. I also thought that it may be helpful as we’re still in lockdown. If I’m honest, quite a lot of this is actually things that I have binged during lockdown…
My Current Shower Routine
It’s no secret that I love a good pamper; although I don’t actually do it very often. But one thing that I do do often is showering (naturally…). So, I’ve gathered my current shower products together and put it in a blog post. I’ve also listed it in routine order. I don’t use all products for every shower – but this is a full list.
I’m not sure if this is very interesting, but I’ve enjoyed looking at what products I use and how often I change it up.
My Go-To Recipe Books
I love using recipe books. Whether I follow them exactly or use them for inspiration. My boyfriend and I have also been really good lately at planning our meals (especially during lockdown). So, I thought I would share some of our most used recipe books and our favourite recipes from each. I currently don’t really have any photos of the actual food that we’ve made as I’m typically too excited about eating the food to remember. But I will try and add photos for these recipes the next time that we make them. Hopefully you can take some inspiration from this post and create some delicious meals yourself. If you do, be sure to share them with me on Instagram. Use the hashtag #coffeewithcerys and you may see your post in my monthly newsletter (coming soon) or on my Instagram stories.
My Top Picks On Netflix - September 2018
As uni is starting on Monday I have been preparing everything that I need in the hope of having a successful year. However, I know that there will be several days that I just spend curled up in bed watching Netflix. So, I thought that I would compile a list of my current favourite shows/films on Netflix (this will probably be done in several parts). I’m also more than happy to receive recommendations for anything else that I should watch.
How To Deal With Sadness
Some of you may have noticed that I went MIA for a few weeks (if you didn’t, thanks…). The reason for this is because I was grieving the death of my Uncle; who was a very important person in my life.
Let’s Talk About Boobs
If you’ve ever had a conversation with me, there’s a high chance that we would have spoken about my boobs. Whether I bring them up, someone else does, or they’re brought up a different way; my boobs are often a part of my everyday conversations.
Everyone has some sort of ‘boobage’, it’s just women’s that are typically discussed more. Whether they’re “too big” or “too small” or “too” something else, someone always has something to say about someone else’s boobs.
Lazy Days
I’m going to begin by stating that it is okay to have a lazy day (or 5) every now and again. I have so many lazy days that you may even call me a professional.
Everyone has their own difficulties and challenges in life that they sometimes need a break from. No one should feel bad for having a day off to recuperate.
My Love For Beanies Coffee
Today I have an assignment due by 5pm, this blog post to publish and I’m making the long journey back to Wales. I also have an assignment due tomorrow at 5pm. But like I always do, I’ve left everything until last minute. This means a lot of all-nighters. All-nighters mean coffee and lots of it! My go to coffee brand is Beanies.
