Tea Time with Hil

Happy Friday! I haven't done this in a while but here are some of the things that have been bringing me joy over the past few months! Crystal Light Pink Lemonade To-Go Packets  - I've been loving these while I've been home lately. Gives my water some extra flavor, which is always good because I'm drinking more water because of it! I've been getting them off of Amazon just because it's easier with the stay-home order but I'm sure they're in most grocery stores too. YUMM! Simply Modern 12oz Mug  - Okay, so I didn't need a new mug but hey, that's never stopped me before! I love this mug so much and it's makes me smile in the morning when I make my coffee. Plus it keeps my drinks super warm for a long period of time.  Web Cam Cover - Since I've been working from home, I wanted something to cover my camera but also give me easy access to it when I need to do Zoom meetings. These are easy to install and work great. I put one on my laptop, ...

I just realized we are already almost through the month of January, which is insane! I feel that I've gotten off to a good start this month, I had a few rough patches but who doesn't! With that being said, there have been a few things that have made this month even more worth while and sparked joy for me that I thought I'd share. Nurse Jackie  - This is a Showtime Series that came out a decade ago but man it's good. It is currently on Netflix. Think about a Register Nurse, who is secretly addicted to pills... but seems to be holding it all together, at least most of the time. I started watching this last week and I am already on season 6. Episodes are only 22 minutes or so, so it's a quick watch.  Heartstrings - The new Dolly Parton series on Netflix, which happens to be amazing! I loved this series so much. Basically Dolly took her songs and created an hour episode based on the lyrics. I'm hoping she makes more episodes for this series, because she has a LO...

This weeks Friday Favorites is dedicate to Disney + , the new streaming service that launched on Tuesday! First of all, YASSSSS! My childhood favorites are all being housed in one streaming service. I'm seeing shows and movies that I haven't seen in years. What's even better is that they're offering a bundle deal where you can get Hulu and ESNP Watch along with Disney Streaming. Mind blown. Let's get into all the shows I've already added to my watch list: Disney  The Sounds of Music - All time Favorite that never gets old! Rip Girls - Childhood throwback, giving me all the surfing vibes.  Johnny Tsunami - Childhood throwback, giving me more surfing vibes.  The Thirteenth Year - Childhood throwback, about a boy turned into a sea creature.  Smart house - Childhood throwback, about a super tech savvy house gone wrong.  Don't Look under the Bed - Childhood throwback, giving you the cheesy scary vibes.  The Color of Friendship - Childhood t...

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...

I'm a few days late with my Favorites but that doesn't change the moments I loved last week, so I decided to share anyway! My favorite things and moments include: Ordering Save the Dates for our upcoming wedding. Can't wait to send those out next year! Finishing the Rhythm + Flow  series on Netflix. If you are a Hip-Hop fan, you'd love this show. It's basically like watching the Voice but geared towards rappers. I hope it gets another season. Starbucks Peach Ice Tea Lemonade ! I know it's Fall and everyone is all for the hot drinks right now but I just now discovered this particular drink at Starbucks and it's the bomb. Black Tea. So over the last week or so I've been really loving my hot tea as well. Something about this time of year makes certain things taste even better. Joann's Fabric had a great sale and on top of that, I earned a $5 off $5 reward, so of course I stopped by Friday to see what I could find. Can't pass up a good coupo...

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: 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. Booking consultations for our wedding cake and flowers for next month. Two more things off the list! Can't wait!  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 ba...

It's Friday , which happens to be one of my favorite days of the week (aside from Sunday)! As I head into the weekend, it's a good time to reflect and think about the things that I'm loving. To kick off my second blog post, I am going to jump into my Friday Favorites series. This week my favorite things and moments included: Making this blog! My fiancé and I have been somewhat binge watching Friends. Neither of us had watched the series before (I know, who hasn't seen Friends, right?) and we are loving it. Plus it's always fun to spend time with him 💗. My dog slept in til 5am most days this week, which may seem early still but typically he wakes up at 3-4am to go to the bathroom lol. It's okay, I'm use to it. Amazon Prime - which I love most weeks but this week I was struggling to figure out a birthday gift for my Dad and with the one day shipping, it was a total win. But when all else fails, can't wrong with a gift card (we can never have enoug...
