Friday Favorites

Whelp, it's Friday Favorites time again. This particular post allows me to share the things I'm loving. Instead of focusing on all the things that could've gone better, I'm working on reflecting on the things that did go right; big or small. So here we go...

My favorite moments and things included:
  1. Getting my engagement pictures back from the photographer! They're beautiful, she did such an amazing job. I'm having a hard time choosing my favorite lol.
  2. Booking consultations for our wedding cake and flowers for next month. Two more things off the list! Can't wait! 
  3. Starting the decades series on Netflix's! There are 4 parts: 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's. I finished the 70's over the weekend and just started the 80's. Let me tell you, it's good stuff! First of all, I always joke that I am a old woman at heart, so learning all this history is giving me life. Each decade is broken down into 8 episodes. Can't wait to dive back into this over the weekend.
  4. Watching the new series on Netflix's Rhythm + Flow. My fiancé picked this show for us to watch and I was skeptical at first but it's actually a really fun show.
  5. Fall weather arriving! Finally it actually feels like Fall. Loving every minute of it.
  6. The Downtown Abbey Movie. Finally saw this gem with my Mom on Sunday and it was everything I hoped it would be. 
  7. Knitting. It's Fall so it never fails that I have the bug to knit in the colder months. I don't know why that is. Currently working on a scarf in a new pattern. Which is a big deal for me because I tend to keep it basic. So far it's looking great!
  8. Getting my first sewing machine! Of course I am a fellow crafting woman but the one thing I've been wanting to take up lately is sewing. My mom has a machine but I wanted one that was not so advanced (my mom's really good at sewing). So my new machine came in last weekend and I can't wait to take a crack at it. 
  9. Free lunch at work! Never fails that I get excited when my boss treats us to lunch on meeting days. Definitely a simple joy. Plus I love food... free food is even better. 
  10. Candy apples and cider! It's that time of year and as a true Fall lover, of course this is on my list. 

So there we have it! All the good stuff from my week. The stuff that seems so small that it often goes unnoticed but still makes an impact on our day.

Holiday Gift Buying - Tea Talk

Happy Monday ! Am I the only person who notices how fast time is flying by! Geesh, it's almost November. I'd be lying if I didn't say how excited I am for the next two months though. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas, this is my favorite time of year. I always joke and say I am a Christmas Elf 🎄 , because I truly love the holiday cheer. I mean it's October and I'm already working on my Christmas Playlist. Once November 1st comes, it's Holiday tunes until December 31st (sorry to all family and friends, you have been warned in advance lol). Part of the Holiday Season is buying gifts, at least for me it is. I get so much joy out of giving gifts to my family and friends, finding them things I know they will love! Since I am a true Christmas Elf , I figured today's Tea Talk should be about my gift buying tips and tricks . You don't have to break the bank to give someone you love a nice gift, so let's get into it! The first thing I do when preparing t...

Windy City, I love You - Travel Blog

Happy Hump Day! Last Friday I skipped my Friday Favorites because I was in one of my favorites cities, Chicago . If you know me, you know Chicago has a special place in my heart. I took my first trip to Chicago with my Mom when I was in Middle School (#girlstrip) and we've continued to go back over the years. My Mom and I took my fiancé along with us in 2012, and since then, he and I have been back 6 times. Total, I've probably been there 9 times. And no, I don't have any family there lol. Anyway, you get the point, I love it . It never gets old. I often joke that it is my second home, aside from my actual home in my small-ish town that I'm from in the Mitten (which I also love). I'm going to break down why Chicago means so much to me and the things I love to do whenever I go! When we go to Chicago, we always stay Downtown on the Magnificent Mile. There are some pros and cons though. It's pretty pricey to stay directly downtown but you're right whe...

Friday Favorites

It's Friday! Man, I've been waiting all week to say that lol. As I mentioned the other day, I've been so tired and meh this week. I need some time to reflect on my Friday Favorites more than ever. Blogging. I'm really proud of myself for doing this and sticking to it so far. Tea time with Hil has turned out to be a great outlet for me. Shout out to all my friends and family who tune in every week to support 💗! Tea. Again, I'm living for tea right now. It's really been my go-to lately and has been calming my nerves. My New Scarf. My co-worker who happens to be one of my Bestie's bought me a beautiful cashmere scarf from Scotland. I finally wore it this week, and just wearing it gave me happy vibes. And it's pink; I love all things pink.  Happy Notes. So if you're a planner person you know all about the Happy Planner series. It's cool because you can add and remove pages. Well instead of the planner, I've gone with the notebooks and...
