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.
  1. 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 💗!
  2. Tea. Again, I'm living for tea right now. It's really been my go-to lately and has been calming my nerves.
  3. 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. 
  4. 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 I'm loving them. I have 5, for various things lol. One of them I am currently using for Goal Setting. If you need a new notebook that has a lot of versatility, check out Happy Notes.
  5. November. The fact that today is the first day of November is giving me life. First off, my birthday is this month, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and... I can play CHRISTMAS MUSIC. I am in my element!
  6. The Sopranos. I started watching this show on Monday and I'm loving it. I didn't think I would but I do.
  7. The Decade Series. So I mentioned this before but I've been watching the Decade Series on Netflix. I've finished the 70's-90's and Monday I started the last segment, the 2000's. I have 7 episodes to go, hoping I can finish that up this weekend. I've really been enjoying it. I wish there was more to the series though, like 20's-60's as well but maybe one day!
  8. Patsy & Loretta. So Lifetime premiered this movie 2 weeks ago. I loved, loved, LOVED it. We all know Lifetime movies are hit or miss. This one was a hit. If you are a country music fan or even someone who is interested in history, check it out. There was a great underlying story of friendship that I really enjoyed.
  9. Music. If you know me, you know I love music. I think most people love music but I have a special connection with it being that I use to sing. Every now and then, I dust off the old pipes and have a jam session and that is exactly what I did on Tuesday night. One song in particular that I totally resonated with was Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara, which isn't new by any means but it's a beautiful song and was just what I needed earlier this week. 
  10. Prayer. My life has changed tremendously over the past year because I have really started leaning on prayer (God) more than ever. I pray about everything, any time of day. It's almost like venting but venting to a higher power. I've been praying a lot this week and it always helps me feel at peace.

20 Random Facts About Me

Happy Thursday! Clearly there is no rhyme or reason to when I post at this point. When I first started, I had this whole structured plan but that seemed a bit too stuffy, so now I post what feels good, when it feels right! Anyhow, I thought it would be interesting to share 20 random facts about myself. I seem that see that as a common post on most blogs, and a fun read! Here we go... My fiancé and I met because we were best friends in high school. We started dating our senior year and have been together for over 10 years. The day we get married this year will be 11!  I have a 5 1/2 year old Dog, who I still refer to as my Pup. He's a Schnauzer/Terrier mix and he's the biggest diva I know lol.  I love crafting, which I'm pretty sure I inherited from my Mom. She's really into restoring furniture and sewing. I prefer knitting best, but I don't discriminate.  Remember the show Glee? That was me in Middle School & High School. I was an all out Choir Girl and t...

Dear Teenage Self - Tea Talk

Hi friends! Lately I've been thinking about what I would tell my younger self now that I am more than a decade out of high school. I have learn so much about life since then. I've shed many tears, laughed until my stomach hurts and gone through many seasons of life. In retrospect, I admire the girl that I was then but that is not without saying there aren't many times that I wish I could go back and be like "girl, let me fill you in on this". I'm sure we all have those moments from time to time.  Here is what I'd tell my teenage self... Dear Hil,  High School will not be easy. Your in this weird paradox between being the nerdy honors student but also being pretty darn cool. You can be a bit intimidating at times but that's because you feel like you have to be strong all the time. People will like you, but there will also be people who try to make your life hell. You never really know why. I hate to tell you this but you will deal with bullies for most ...
