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.

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...
