This week, we have the lovely Lisa from Thirty Something Belle. Lisa is one stunning mama!! I love her Festival Survival Guide as I have a lot of admiration for people taking kids camping! Make sure you check out her blog - it is brilliant.

Here we go!


Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
Why hello there! I'm Lisa of www.thirtysomethingbelle.wordpress.com. I'm based in Manchester, England.

How long have you had your favourite mug?
Since Christmas 2014.

Where did it come from?
It was a gift from my lovely boyfriend Adam, purchased from Urban Outfitters.

Why this one?
It sums me up it just 3 little words!

Does it really make your drink taste better?
Yes, bizarrely it does.

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
Tea. One sugar, milk, preferably Yorkshire teabags stewed for a good 5 minutes.

When do you have your first cuppa?
Around 7.30am when I land in my office. A must to wake me up for the day ahead!

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
Hmmm...at work, ususally 4 cups per day maybe. At home, around 6 cups.

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
Eat biscuits - I am a fiend. Ginger nuts, Oreos, Rich Tea? I'll take it!

Anything else?
I DO have a weird thing for mugs in general - they have to feel 'right'. I adore vintage china and when I'm feeling posh, will dig out a cup and saucer to indulge. In winter, I love to have a huge mug filled to the brim with hot chocolate, cream and marshmallows - even a sneaky shot of Baileys if I'm at home. Heaven! Whittard Of Chelsea is my favourite place to buy from. I have my eye on their Alice In Wonderland range as we speak...



A big thank you to Lisa for taking part!

"My Mug and I" with Molly!

This week, we have the lovely Molly from The Book of Molly. This tattooed beauty is one to follow! My favourite post of hers is "13 things I would tell my younger self" because it is something I can really relate to. Check her out!

Here we go!


Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
Hello there! My name is Molly Gibson Kirby and I am currently living in Northern Manitoba, Canada. However, I am from a mixture of places. I was born in Liverpool England and grew up in Peterborough, Ontario and Liverpool, Nova Scotia.

How long have you had your favourite mug?
I have a full collection of mugs, and I’m not sure I could pick a “favourite” one. Each one is special in its own way, and I use them differently for different drinks. That being said two of my favourite mugs I received as Christmas presents in 2014.  My favourite travel mug was a gift to myself about a month ago.

Where did it come from?
My first favourite mug came from my mom as a Christmas present, and she bought it at Chapters in Ontario. It says, “Life is a story. Make yours a best seller.” She bought it for me because I'm a writer, and it just fit so well. I'm also working on my autobiography, and I think that’s another reason she bought that one for me!

My second favourite mug was also a Christmas gift from a close friend. He bought it for me at a craft fair. I had been looking at the mug and commented on how much I loved the feeling of it, and the handle on the mug, but I decided to steer myself away from it. (I told myself I didn’t need another mug… but I always need more mugs)

Christmas morning came around and I opened up to see the mug! My heart melted.

My travel mug comes from Kate Spade! I love it because of all the books around it, because I'm a total bookworm! I bought it for myself because I had been looking at it online for ages, and I don't have a plastic tumbler, just ceramic ones, so I decided to treat myself.

Why this one?
These three are my favourite because of the meaning around them, and I love the way they feel in my hands. I’m pretty picky when it comes to mug designs and how it feels, but these three are just perfect.

Does it really make your drink taste better?
It totally makes my drink taste better, at least in my mind it does. If I don’t enjoy what I’m drinking my hot beverage out of, I will not enjoy the drink.

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug? 
I usually am a coffee person in the morning, and a tea drinker in the afternoon and evening. But I drink water and juice out of my mugs too. I barely ever use a proper glass.

When do you have your first cuppa?
I have my first hot drink around 9 o’clock when I’m headed to the newspaper for work. I’ll make coffee at home, but won’t really drink it until I sit in front of my desk at work, and start going through emails.

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
If I’m being honest I drink a lot of hot drinks in a day. As I’m writing this, I have 4 mugs on my desk… I’ll usually have two cups of coffee before lunchtime. After lunch I’ll usually make myself an iced coffee, or a tea. My favourites are peppermint and green loose tea. In the evening I’ll make myself a cup of orange pekoe tea with a bit of milk and sugar in it. It helps me relax for the evening, and prepare myself for my evening meditation.

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
I have a few favourite things to do with a hot drink in my mug. If I’m at work I’ll be sorting through my emails, but if I’m home you’ll either find me reading blogs, reading a hardcover book, or listening to music and journaling.

Coffee and tea to me helps me relax and ground myself, so I try to do things that will accompany that like reading or writing!

"My Mug and I" with Heather!

This week, we have the lovely Heather from Frost on the Vine. She likes having breakfast for dinner - so what is not to love about her?! My favourite post is her "Caring for Succulents" because I am desperate for my succulents to not die..! Be sure to check her out!

Here we go!


Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
My name is Heather Serra. I'm a leasing manager for a townhome community & I blog over at FrostontheVine.com. I currently live in Upstate New York, USA.

How long have you had your favourite mug?
I've had my favorite mug for a little over 2 years now.

Where did it come from?
My beautiful, sweet, 9-year-old niece picked it out & gave it to me for my birthday. She obviously has very sophisticated taste in mugs. ;)

Why this one?
Well, besides the fact that my awesome niece gave it to me, it has a little built-in pocket for my ever chilly fingers. I am cold all the time! I'm constantly shaking hands at work and so I try to warm up with this mug before meeting with a potential tenant.

Does it really make your drink taste better?
Yes! Anything I have in other mugs is just...eh, ok. lol

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
Strong black coffee which is definitely an acquired taste. Guess I'm a grown up now...;-p

When do you have your first cuppa?
In the mornings. I like to get in a cup before I get to work so that I'm as cheery as my colleague, but my mornings don't always pan out that way. I'm usually running out the door and pour a cup as soon as I get to the office.

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
Hmmm...good question. On a cold day, probably 6ish. On an average day, probably 2.

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
Wake up! lol...thus the strong black coffee. During that process, I like to check out my social media...see what I've missed overnight.

Anything else?
Yes. Thanks for featuring me & my favorite mug. I love this segment!

Here we go!


Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
My name is Kristen and I live in Denver, Colorado!

How long have you had your favourite mug?
I got this mug 3 years ago while I was in law school! It's been through a lot of long law school years with me!

Where did it come from?
Starbucks!

Why this one?
I love the phrase on it. It says "fresh brewed inspiration for the day ahead" and it's really big and holds almost two cups of coffee!

Does it really make your drink taste better?
I think so :) it makes the day better for sure!

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
Black coffee with French vanilla coconut milk creamer. So delish

When do you have your first cuppa?
First thing in the am, about 7.15am!

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
Usually 2 cups of coffee, a third in the afternoon if it is a long day

"My Mug and I" with Natasha!

This week, we have the lovely Natasha from Heart of the Woods and The Sprout Mix. My favourite post from her is 5 Day Backpacking Packing Guide - mainly because I am soooo jealous of where she went backpacking - the pictures are amazing! Also, it is really handy. I love tips! Make sure you check her out :)

Here we go!


Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
Hey there! My name is Natasha Mila. I am a proud Wisconsinite. Go Pack Go! My hobbies include all things outdoors: hiking, backpacking, camping, kayaking, snowboarding, skiing, hunting, and all things outdoors! I currently am in full time grad school, working full time and have two blogs. So yes, I am likely certifiably insane for doing all these things at once! Nice to "meet" ya :)

How long have you had your favourite mug?
I just got my new favorite mug this April!

Where did it come from?
It comes from the Dominican Republic.

Why this one?
I liked this one because it has a map right on it so I can see exactly where it is from! Oh, and I am horrible with geography, so I might need this one day :)

Does it really make your drink taste better?
It doesn't necessarily make my coffee or tea taste better, but it does make me remember an amazing adventure!

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
My favorite thing about my mug is where it came from. It holds a memory and brings that memory to life each time I use it!

When do you have your first cuppa?
I wake up and the first thing I do is grab myself a cup of coffee! Tea is for when I come home and sometimes at work.

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
I may or may not be a coffee and tea addict. I drink two cups o' coffee every morning and tea every night!

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
Just sit. I love to enjoy my coffee and tea and just sit and relax.

Anything else?
I plan to continue the tradition of purchasing a mug from every place that I travel from here on out. New tradition and new adventures! Crossing my fingers for oh so many mugs!

"My Mug and I" with Amy!

This week, we have the lovely Amy from Allspice & Acrylics. My favourite post is "Hungry For Life" because she is an inspiration. Don't take my word for it - check her out!!

Amy has just got married! Congratulations AmyAmy Oestreicher-Thetford!! Find more about her big day here :)

Here we go!

Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
Hi!  I’m Amy Oestreicher and I’m from the CT/NYC area.

How long have you had your favourite mug?
I’ve had this mug…since I made it.  I was obsessed with the Little Miss and Mr. Men series as a kid – I would doodle the little characters in my notebooks, on my shoes…and eventually they ended up on a mug!  I’ve loved painting pottery for as long as I can remember – there’s something very therapeutic about applying three layers of paint with a tiny brush, firing it up in the kiln, and getting to see the colors really pop!

It’s also my favorite mug because it’s huge and bowl-sized – optimal for drinking some homemade chicken soup!

Where did it come from?
 The mug was an unfired piece I picked up at a do-it-yourself pottery shop.  I saw it and thought – hot soup!  Must have!

Why this one?
 Seeing those characters makes me smile every time!  And there really is no better shape for an all-purpose hot liquid mug!

Does it really make your drink taste better?
I believe attitude is everything…so sure, why not?

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
Anything steamy and homemade.  I’m partial to my mother’s homemade chicken soup with fresh marrow bones, parsnips, and a handful of herbs – (secret combination!)

When do you have your first cuppa?
As soon as I wake up!  I need a burning sip of salty liquid to wake up my throat in the morning – gets my vocal chords clear for some vocalizing, rehearsing, and the busy day ahead.

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
If I were home?  I’d refill my mug every time I reached the bottom. Unfortunately, nothing reheats as well when you’re on the go.  (Sigh.)  My favorite mug is not the most practical thing to carry with me out and about.  But, that’s what makes it all the more appreciated when I can come back home after a hectic day, curl up with a good book, and heat up some aromatic chicken soup…mmmmm…..

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
My favorite thing to do is sip my soup in my mug while my fiancé slurps his down in his own bowl – cuddled up on the couch watching cooking competition shows on TV.

Anything else?
My real favorite thing to do while sipping my mug is paint for hours in my art studio.  It’s a cozy feeling to be holding my hot mug in one hand and my paintbrush in the other – my two loves!  However, I stopped this routine once I realized it was quite difficult not to splatter acrylic paint in my beverage…not the smartest idea.  So now, it’s just slurping from my favorite mug with my favorite fiancé – and I’m pretty happy with that!

"My Mug and I" with Dana!

This week, we have the lovely Dana from Carry On Beautiful - she is such a cutie! My favourite post is her recipe for No Butter Walnut Cookies because DUH COOKIES! She blogs about a wide range of things - you really must check her out. She is fab.

Here we go!

Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
I'm Dana and I'm from Birkenhead, near Liverpool!

How long have you had your favourite mug?
A good 4 years now! I got it while i was still in high school and I've had a drink in it almost every day since!!

Where did it come from?
A charity shop actually! My mum found it and surprised me one day after school.

Why this one?
For one, I love Lord of the Rings. It's also got a slightly different handle to most mugs and it fits my hand perfectly. It's like a mug made in heaven.

Does it really make your drink taste better?
YES. Definitely. I joke that its like an Asian tea pot because they pour tea over them until it sinks into it and that's essentially what's happened to this cup. Even when its clean the inside looks a little funky.

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
Good old fashioned English breakfast tea! Well, PG tips. I'm not a tea expert but that's breakfast tea right? I have no idea.

When do you have your first cuppa?
Usually when i first wake up at 8ish and then every hour or so.

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
If i spend the day at home maybe between 6 and 10. If I'm out for most of the day probably only 2 or 3.

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
I love to have a cup of tea in it while i read or watch TV. I don't use it if I'm watching Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit though because my boyfriend laughs at me.

Anything else?
I just want you to know that my mug is hands down the best mug in the world.

"My Mug and I" with Emily!

This week, we have the lovely Emily from Emily Davies Writes. She blogs about the most interesting things and definitely has a massive creative side! I LOVE this post about making a Cardboard Box fun! This is the sort of thing that I would love to do with my goddaughter and she would enjoy it so much! Make sure you check her out.

Here we go!


Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
My name is Emily. I used to be a craft journalist but since having my little girl I've settled into being a SAHM. I blog about crafts, home, motherhood and coffee... lots of coffee!

How long have you had your favourite mug?
Ooooh, about five years I think.

Where did it come from?
One of my most favourite shops, Anthropologie on Regents Street.

Why this one?
It has special memories. I began my career working in craft magazine publishing and I worked with some of my best friends. In fact, it was a really lovely office full of girls who loved to craft, lots of girls who were just like me, really. One sunny day, four of us went on a cupcake excursion round the West End, sampling all the cupcake shops around Carnaby Street. We went to Anthropologie and each purchased one of these initial mugs which then became our office mugs. It was a bonding experience! Later on, three of us ended up working at a different company and our mugs were reunited! It reminds me of a really fun time in my career with great friends where we would all bond and get excited about little things like that. It's also a great size and feels a bit indulgent to drink from.

Does it really make your drink taste better?
Definitely!

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
I'm a big latte fan and have a coffee machine of my own. My drink of choice is a Soya Vanilla Latte - that's why the mugs have to be big, to compensate for all the froth!

When do you have your first cuppa?
I tend to forget about myself in the mornings, I'll run about getting myself and my toddler ready for the day and it will be gone 11 before I sit down and have something to eat and drink! Usually this will be in a cafe while I'm out and about, but in a bid to save money I do try to have an indulgent latte at home so I don't have to when I'm out.

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
Usually two, a latte and a cup of tea. Though I don't drink nearly as much tea!

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
The perfect mug-time would be in total silence, wrapped in a quilt with a nice magazine, a good book or my laptop. It's just lovely to wind down and catch a bit of alone time. I can make a latte last an hour so it makes a difference!

"My Mug and I" with Dawn!

This week, we have the lovely Dawn. Now, Dawn is not only a blogger, but an author too! Very exciting stuff. She writes a detective series that I am keen to get my hands on! A post from her blog that I LOVE is "The Voice and Bean Eat Out: Eighteen71 Winchester" because I live near Winchester and go here with my mum! Check her out - she is incredible!

Here we go!

Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?

Hi my name’s Dawn, I live in Hampshire in a quixotic village in the South Downs. I blog and write under the name D S Nelson. I write a parenting blog about green living, and I am the author of a series of detective stories called ‘The Blake Hetherington Mysteries’. I’ve been writing and blogging for about eight years.

How long have you had your favourite mug? 

I’m quite fickle when it comes to my mugs. I have lots and my favourite at the moment is my ‘Live and Let Bee’ mug. I’ve had this mug for about five months.

Where did it come from?

I was a birthday present from my husband. He knows I’m obsessed with writing and tea!

Why this one? 

When I’m writing a novel, I have to have my tea from the corresponding mug. For ‘Hats Off To Murder’, my first novelette, I had a mug with bowler hats on, for the second novelette ‘One For The Rook’, I had a village show themed mug, for my novel and third book in the series ‘Model For Murder’ my husband made me a mug with a picture of a model village and a voodoo vever, on it. Right now I’m editing the second Blake Hetherington novel entitled, ‘Live and Let Bee’, so it has to be my ‘Live and Let Bee’ mug!

Does it really make your drink taste better? 

Oh yes! Is this really a question? The tea in my mug is in the moment with me! I am Blake Hetherington and Delilah Delibes, all rolled into one, cogitating on the facts of the case in hand.

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug? 

I love Winchester Char teas, a great little local tea company and my favourite is a loose-leaf tea called Emperors Seven Treasures. It taste fresh and summery, has a wonderful scent and looks lovely as the tea’s mixed with rose and sunflower petals.

When do you have your first cuppa? 

My husband brings me a cuppa when he gets up to go to work, so I have it to hand before attempting to wash and clothe the five month old, whom hopefully hasn’t woken up yet!

How many hot drinks do you have per day? 

Ermm, hmmm, tricky question, I loose count. Before the days of bean (the aforementioned five month old), it used to be somewhere between ten and eight but these days I’m lucky if I get to drink one hot drink. In truth I probably drink five or six mugs of hot drink gone cold.

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?

Writing! Or, of course, reading a good cosy crime ;-)

Anything else?

I’d love people to stop by my website www.dsnelson.co.uk or the blog www.beagreenbean.co.uk and if you fancy giving one of my books a go they can all be found on Amazon here.

You can also catch up with me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I’d love you to come and say hi. 

A big thanks to the lovely Rowan for inviting me to tell you all about my favourite mug, now I’m off to see if I can squeeze a bit more editing in before bean discovers I’m missing!

A big thank you to Dawn for taking part!

"My Mug and I" with Louisa!

This week, we have the lovely Louisa from Intrepid Forays and Adventures. She is a blogger from New Zealand and has a weak spot for tea, like me! My favourite post of hers is Tea with Alice which is the unboxing of an amazing tea package that I am jealous of! She writes beautifully and is definitely worth checking out!

Here we go!


Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
I'm Louisa, from Auckland, New Zealand. I'm a blogger over at Intrepid Forays and Adventures.

How long have you

had your favourite mug?
5 years.

Where did it come from?
I got this mug for my 21st, from the woman who babysat me when I was a small child. She's still a close family friend, and I think of her and her family every time I use this mug.

Why this one?
I treasure this mug for it's sentimental value; it has been with me through many tumultuous life events (including the Christchurch earthquake in 2011, moving cities in 2013, and starting my first full-time job in 2014). It holds quite a bit, and is my favourite vessel to drink tea out of.

Does it really make your drink taste better?
Probably not, but I like it more anyway.

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
Irish Breakfast loose leaf tea (from T2). That's my favourite, but any dark black tea will make me happy.

When do you have your first cuppa?
I try to have it in the morning before work (around 7am), but sometimes I run out of time and my first cuppa has to wait until 9 or so.

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
4-5 on most days.

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
I love holding this mug in my hands on a cold winter's day, letting the heat from the tea warm me up, and watching a TV show while blobbing on my couch. Ideally I'll be wearing a snuggly onsie, with warm slippers.


A big thank you to Louisa for taking part!

"My Mug and I" with Leah!

This week, we have the lovely Leah from Tea Reviews by Leah. Now I have a huge weak spot for her blog as she talks about tea - I love tea! You have to check out her post "10 Teas for 10 Moods" which is my favourite at the moment!

Here we go!

Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
Hi! I'm Leah and I'm from America but I'm doing my masters degree in Wales

How long have you had your favourite mug?
Since Valentines Day!

Where did it come from?
My boyfriend got it for me for Valentines Day. It's a tea infusing mug for loose leaf tea! If I want just regular bagged tea I can take the infuser out and just use it as a regular mug

Why this one?
I love how it's very minimalistic and lightweight. I like the fact that it's transparent

Does it really make your drink taste better?
Of course! I feel like since I can see what I'm drinking through the mug it tastes better. Maybe I'm crazy :)

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
Vanilla black tea by Twinings. Mmmh

When do you have your first cuppa?
Right when I wake up!

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
Usually 3!

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
Relax and look at my blogging friends' posts of the day

Anything else?
If you like tea, come check out my blog - it is all about it!

"My Mug and I" with Marina!

This week, we have the lovely Marina from Marina Says and Made in Moments. I love her post "Tips for Looking Fine After Crying All Night" - whilst I hope she and none of you ever cry all night, it is a really handy page to have on hand! She is such a pretty one - I love her Youtube channel too. Check her out!

Here we go!

Hey! Who are you and where do you come from?
I’m Marina, style blogger at MarinaSays.com and travel blogger at MadeinMoments.com. I don’t stay in one pace for too long, so believe it or not I get to have a new favorite mug every month.
Growing up I also moved around a lot, though mostly between California, USA and Slovakia, Europe.

How long have you had your favourite mug?
It’s been about three weeks now. Although last week my boyfriend claimed it as his favorite mug too… we’re currently in the “who grabs it first gets it” phase.

Where did it come from?
This big glass mug was here when I arrived. My boyfriend and I are renting this apartment for just one month, and luckily the owners left the place fully furnished - mugs included!

Why this one?
I love it because it’s big enough to hold a lot of liquid while still being lightweight. I also love that the clear glass allows me to see if I’ve thoroughly mixed my chai powder or hot cocoa, while letting light into the beverage for a truly simple drinking experience.

Does it really make your drink taste better?
Yes. I tried making the chai latte in the cheap IKEA porcelain cups and simply couldn't finish, it tasted that bad.

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
I love myself a nice Chai Latte with half milk, half water.

When do you have your first cuppa?
After having a breakfast smoothie in the morning my stomach starts to crave something warm before the day fully unfolds. Somewhere between breakfast and lunch is the perfect time to sit and sip at a hot treat from my favorite mug of the moment.

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
I drink typically 2-3 hot beverages per day, though if I’m home alone I usually forget to treat myself to anything luxurious in the evening hours.

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
Like I said, somewhere between breakfast and lunch is my favorite time to sip at a hot drink. That’s usually about the time when I start to put on my makeup or read from the Kindle. This is where the size of the mug really starts to make a difference! While reading a high-suspense book such as The Paying Guests by Sarah Waters, one’s got to have somewhere to sip from.

A big thank you to Marina for taking part!

Where did it come from?
It came from this really cool yet cute shop in town. It's all really original and adorable and I love it

Why this one?
Look at it! It's fabulous! It's also one of the biggest mugs I have so I can get loads of tea in it haha

Does it really make your drink taste better?
Yes. When you love what your drinking from it improves the taste considerably

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
Tea!

When do you have your first cuppa?
At about 6-ish on a school-day and as soon as I get up on weekends and holidays

How many hot drinks do you have per day?

I couldn't pick just one as it's hard to decide between the two! But they make me smile

Does it really make your drink taste better?
Honestly I doubt it, but the mugs make me smile/chuckle so that's all that counts isn't it

What is your favourite thing to have in your mug?
I love fruit tea, or Dark roast yerba mate tea from Buddha teas. (They also taste good when cold)

When do you have your first cuppa?
As soon as I wake up!!

How many hot drinks do you have per day?
Anywhere between 5-10 - is that a lot?!

What is your favourite thing to do whilst with your mug?
I work full time as a Digital Media Manager and Blogger, so I guess I always have a cuppa on the go whilst at the computer

Anything else?
I share pictures of my new favourite mugs all the time on Instagram, come and say Hi if you're a mug lover too :)
