Lately, it feels like I’ve been having more coffee (or should I say chiya) catch-ups than big nights out—and honestly, I’m loving it.
Chiya means tea, and guff means chitchat—and together, it’s basically the perfect combo. Warm cups of tea, endless conversations, laughter that goes on for hours… it’s simple, cozy, and so full of joy.
These days, most of our catch-ups are at home rather than out and about. We meet at each other’s places, sometimes last minute, sometimes planned—but always easy. There’s something so nice about not having to dress up too much, not worrying about bookings, and definitely not stressing about finding a babysitter. It just fits into life so much better.
We chat about everything—life, kids, work, random stories—and somehow time just flies. Other times we do head out, but even then it’s more relaxed, more spontaneous, and just as fun. It’s less about where we go and more about who we’re with.
This phase of chiya and guff feels so real and grounding. It’s not about fancy places or big plans—it’s about connection, comfort, and those little moments that turn into the best memories. And honestly, sometimes a hot cup of tea and good company is all you really need ❤️
