Hello Lovelies!
Let me tell you, this week has been great! I started working at Starbucks in the Safeway store here in town (for those not from the West of the US it's a grocery store). I started on Tuesday and today is my first day off. At first, it was a little hard because I had to be there at 5:30am and I'm used to sleeping for 16ish hours a day. Now that I'm used to sleeping about 8 hours or less a night, I am doing pretty good!
My coworkers are pretty great for the most part! I only really have one person I don't get along with but that's ok. I FINALLY after 4+ jobs have a female manager (in this case 2) that I adore! They're professional but still know when to joke around and have some fun. We also have open communication about work and personal lives without judgement. To me, that's one of the most important things. I know most people reading this don't know me but I am honestly not a judgmental person unless you are horrible to children, special needs folk, or animals. So, being able to not be judged either is a breath of fresh air. I can't tell you how much I like that they are willing to work with me to make sure that I have one day with my husband a week. Basically he works from 7am to 11am, school from 12pm to 2:30pm and then work again from 4pm to 8:30pm... then he has homework. The only day he doesn't work or go to school is on Friday. I can't tell you how grateful I am for a boss/manager who respects and understands that.
I'm trying to think about what I want to do on my days off from here on. Obviously on Friday's I have plans to be made with my man, but other than that, I don't really have many interests.
I'm thinking about taking up photography again. Maybe that could be something I make a point of doing on my days off/after/before work. That could be super fun now that I'm not doing it for school or work. I could also go to Salem on my free time to shop or just explore. I realize now that I'm back in Oregon that there's a lot I haven't seen or done. So, I want to do that. :)
I might also volunteer at an animal shelter. That could be a lot of fun. :)
Anyways, I will talk to y'all soon. Maybe next time I'll show you what I look like in my "uniform".
XOXO - Sarah

Something To Get Off My Chest
Hello everyone.
Today, I am going to talk about something a little bit tough for me. I'm going to go into a little more depth about my first serious relationship than I have in the past. The thing is, I have been working really hard to gain closure on the relationship and it's hard. This is because the relationship wasn't easy because BOTH of us weren't all that great. I know I was a bit irrationally emotional at times and wasn't super mature in any way. But I was also 15 (he was over 2.5 years older) and it was my first relationship. It lasted exactly 18 months and no. I wasn't perfect. He wasn't either. That's what I'm going to talk about mostly.
When we first met and were talking, he was dating a person that I considered to be my enemy number one. He was talking to me in a flirtatious manner while dating her. He also had a chick friend that he was super into at the time. At one point, he told me that he liked me, but I'd always be his third choice basically. I really liked him at that point so it was hurtful to hear that. Then he and the girl broke up and he decided to date me. So, starting out the relationship I was under the impression that I had to prove that he should like me more than the other two. That I should be his number one. For me, that meant more or less that I should sleep with him to make him like me most.
It was completely consensual, but afterwards, I didn't feel anything emotionally. It was kind of weird because growing up I was always taught that girls are supposed to be in love with their "first" and that we had to stay together. I didn't feel any of that. I then decided to commit to the being his number one even more so because I wanted to prove something. I'm not entirely sure what I was trying to prove, but I was trying to prove something.
He used to lie a lot about things, too. One of the biggest things was how many sexual partners he had in the past. He always told me it was a huge number. He also had nudes and pictures of his exes and girls he liked on his phone still. On top of that, one of the girls he had nudes of he pointed out one day and told me he had a threesome with her and the girl who was his #2. I was a bit bothered by it because I got super insecure and competitive. He finally came clean about 7 months into the relationship. I was not happy because I had JUST come to terms with the idea beforehand.
My family hated him and my friends hated him because of how controlling he was. Nobody liked our relationship. I didn't either. I was pretty submissive to him. He actually used to tell me (we went to church together) that it was "God's will" for the woman to be submissive to the man and that I needed to follow that.
He used to tell that other chick how pretty she was all the time and such and it made me even more insecure. I was getting a lot of people calling me fat and things like that at about the same time so it made me kind of go overboard on trying to be the prettiest and skinniest. So, I basically stopped eating for a while. It got so bad that I could barely keep warm in a heavy coat just walking from class to class. The one thing I can say about him in this though was when he saw me one day, he was super upset because he could see pretty much all my ribs and my spine and basically all my bones. He at that point begged me to eat because I was obviously killing myself.
When it comes to the sex life, I won't talk too much about it. For the most part he was pretty good about it. There was just one or two times where he was aggressive and not really willing to listen to my "no". Those were not good times. I don't want to talk about it, however. So, I won't.
One of the biggest things for me that lead to our breakup was the fact that he started to try and get me to cut off friends in my life. One that he had me cut off is now my husband actually.
I am saying all this to talk about why I broke up with him - which will bring me to the next part. I want to say again that neither of us was perfect by any means. I was definitely not mature at that point, but to my defense I was 15 and he was my first real boyfriend. How was I supposed to know how to act?
Fast forward to our break up. The break up was not pretty initially. He was very upset, which I get. He begged me to be his "fuck buddy" because I wasn't "allowed to ever have sex with another man". He was so possessive that I told him that I cheated on him with my, at the time, best friend (hubby's best friend) to try and get him to be mad enough he'd leave me alone.
At one point I started dying my hair blonde and started doing things I wanted to try and I remember he would say things like "Now that you dumped me you're doing things I always told you would look good on you. I always told you these things because you asked what you could do to make me happier and now that we're broken up you're finally doing them". Looking back, I wish I had said to him "THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT!!! I DID NOT MEAN WHAT CAN I DO TO BE MORE APPEALING TO YOU!!" It's like so my being blonde would have made him happier to be with me. I think this speaks pretty well for itself.
We ended up trying to be friends for about three months before his possessiveness and and aggression escalated to a very vicious point. It got so bad he was trying to convince me he was going to die if we didn't get back together, he was always trying to get physical when we hung out, he would get mad at me for random shit, and then not understand when I was not making any effort to be nice to him. I will admit, I was an immature bitch when we were trying to be friends. I guess I just was tired of it. But the thing is, he started to take things way too far.
At about the three month mark I believe I told him I just wanted space to do my own thing and move on. He then escalated his possessiveness over me. He started harassing me about being fuck buddies more often, he was obsessive. He was always messaging me - even when I didn't reply. Most of all he was trying to upset me and guilt me into being his girlfriend again because "the doctor said if I don't get over this that I'm going to die". I was such a nervous wreck that I talked to an adult lady that I trusted about it and she advised me to ignore him for a week and then decide what to do. I took her advice and it really set the tone for how I look back at the relationship now.
When he was being ignored he started out annoyed, then got guilt trippy, then got mad, then got angry, then got sobby, then got vicious. Near the end of the week he was texting me about 30x a day, Skype messaging me at least 15x a day, tweeting at me around 10x a day, calling a couple times, fb messaging a lot as well. He was calling me a "heartless bitch" and just a "bitch" and just over all being threatening and vicious. It was so scary that I have a hard time thinking about it. He was posting on my wall frequently too and somehow his mom got involved. She was pretty horrible too. My "sister" at the time told her to back off and that how my ex was acting was horrible and that it needed to stop. She then proceeded to say something about how since he and I broke up I had already slept with 4 guys and that he told her "ew, no." about wanting to get back together with me. Like I had asked him to! So, then he said to say one word to let him know I 100% wanted him out of my life forever and I literally said "out". That was it. He then left me alone.
Since then, I haven't seen him. I've seen him around town before I graduated high school and moved to Texas to live with my husband's family while he was deployed, but not after that. I'm not going to lie. Even after moving, I never got over the feeling I had during that week. It was honestly traumatic. So traumatic that even now I'm scared of him.
From then I moved to Texas and got married and all that jazz. I got back to my home town just 6 months ago and am now working in the small town's Safeway where I know I will eventually see him or his family. I have been super nervous every day going in that I'd see him. I got tired of that so I decided to message him. I was straight up about how I feel and how I am tired of having been afraid for the last 4 1/2 years and that if he's going to be at that Safeway to let me know. The craziest thing, though, of that whole conversation was the fact he said he was sorry. He apologized. I don't know if anyone knows how crazy that felt to me. I didn't know I needed to hear that.
So, I thought that I had reached near closure finally. That is until the inevitable happened and I saw his dad. I panicked and ducked down behind the counter. Then I got mad at myself. Why was I hiding from his dad? He did nothing besides treat me with love and respect throughout the whole time I have known him. So, I stood up and helped him and made his drink and chatted. He then went on his way. I figure that if I'm that startled by someone I really like just because of their affiliation with my ex, then I can't account for how I'll feel when I see my ex - even if he warns me that he'll be there.
I won't say he was the worst person ever, but he was the worst person for me and I think I was for him too. For now, I'll leave it at that, mostly because I blocked out so much from that time that I can't remember more to share.
Thank you guys for reading.
If you have any stories like mine, I'd love to hear them. I'm sorry if you had to deal with something like this.

Closure is a Funny Thing
Hello Lovelies.
Today is a bit of a different post than I've made before and I know that it's on the "wrong day". However, it's something that I need to talk about right at this second and I figure it wouldn't be a bad idea to talk about it on here.
For those that have known me for years, you know about Josh. If you haven't known me for years, he is my ex. Our relationship was a bit intense and it lasted from when I was just 15 to nearly 17. So, basically a year and a half. There was a lot of drama during the relationship and neither party was perfect. What I do have to say was the worst part of the whole thing, the part that set the tone for how I've seen that relationship when I look back at it and how I have treated relationships for the last 4 1/2 years, was the break up.
This was a particularly difficult and down right horrible time in my life. When we broke up, he got obsessive and aggressive as well as possessive and just plain mean. I got scared. Really scared. It traumatized me. It traumatized me so badly that even when I moved half-way across the country, whenever I saw a car that looked like his, I started to panic. Even the IDEA of seeing his family makes me ill from anxiety. That is, until just now.
I got tired of being anxious to go to my new job in a place in town because of the very thought of seeing him there, so I took initiative. See, I never got closure to the relationship because it was super high emotions from his harassment and verbal abuse, then I cut him off, then nothing else from him. It was one day craziness then the next nothing. I haven't even seen him since then.
But today, I messaged him. I finally got the balls to basically say "Hey, I am back in town and I'm tired of being so fucking scared of seeing you. If you're going to be in the store where I work, let me know because I can't handle seeing you without warning." then we talked and he apologized. Multiple times. He acknowledged everything and was respectful and remorseful. I can't tell you guys just how much that means to me. I feel like 4 1/2 years of anxiety and weight has been lifted.
I am finally free. I finally have closure. I finally have what I need to let go of the situation.
I have closure.

Tea Talks: Wednesday 9/21/2016
Hello Lovelies!
Today, I actually have something worth updating you all on.
I got a call yesterday from the hiring manager at Safeway and she said she was looking at my application and that I should finish applying so she can do a formal interview. I hope that means that she is interested in me.
That's about it. I don't really have time to talk because I'm really busy today. I still wanted to make a post, though.

Tea Talks: Sunday 9/18/2016
Hello Lovelies!
Today, I actually have tea to drink while typing this up! It's called Mint Majesty and it's by Teavana. I picked it up when I went to Starbucks this morning. Normally, I don't like Starbucks, but I was in my pj pants and didn't want to go somewhere nice looking like that. Yeah, Starbucks can be nice, but in this town... it's eh.
Random funny story. Ready? My hubby is starting college this next week. That's not the funny part. He is starting college next week and it hadn't even occurred to him that he might need notebooks, pencils and a calculator. *sigh* How would he survive without me?
Things I want/need to do this week:

- Actually finish cleaning my room
- Continue job searching
- Actually schedule at least 2 non-tea talks posts
Things I hope for this week:
- We get the rest of our check
- I get called for an interview anywhere I applied
So... yeah. There's not much on my mind right now. I'm a bit sick so I'm trying to relax so I don't get sicker. Which will happen if I don't just CHILL.
Oh, and the tea? SO GOOD! OH MY GOD IT IS SOOOO GOOD. I love mint teas. I have currently 3 containers of different mint teas with one coming in the mail. I'm OBSESSED.
Also, the website for Paypal isn't responding. I think that may be a sign.
Anyways, much love to you guys! I've already scheduled the next Ear Stretching 101 post for this Thursday (I CANNOT believe that I forgot it last week!!!) so you have that to look forward to! :)
XOXO!!! Sarah

I'm a Hipster BUT...
Hello Lovelies!
I just wanted to make a post that tells you more about the person behind this blog!
I have been called a “hipster” on many more than one occasion by more than one person. Though, I do have to mention that the person who calls me that the most is my husband. No competition. Douche. Just kidding. Kind of. Anyway!
I may just be a hipster because of how I look and the things that I find an interest in… but I really don’t conform to other things that hipsters are known to do/be.
I’m a hipster but…
- I don’t care what music you like. I personally like Folk-Indie etc music, but that doesn’t mean I think I’m better than you for it. If you like the top 40, then that’s what you like! It’s not me listening to it so why should I care? (On a side note, my guilty pleasures are Britney Spears and N’Sync etc… so who am I to judge?)
- If you dress like a “prep” or in the current fashion trends, that’s your business. I personally don’t like those styles, but that’s why I don’t wear them. If you like them, then you should dress that way. It’s your body after all!
- If you haven’t heard of an obscure band or movie that I love, then I won’t give you crap. At some point I didn’t know about that band or movie either so… yeah. However, that is one pet peeve of mine. I HATE IT when people mention a popular movie and when I tell them I haven’t seen it they get all obnoxious. I was a VERY sheltered child so fuck off. :P
- I’m not your Manic Pixie Dream Girl. I am not ditching the trope, as I identify strongly with it, but I am not YOUR mpdg. I’m my own person and I’m married so I’m not here to be YOUR mpdg. I believe in a healthy relationship (that I already am in) and don’t think that anyone should project that on me anymore.
Anyways, I hope that this was interesting at least and that you got a bit of a taste of what I think of other people’s choices. :P
Are any of you “hipsters” too? If so, let me know what your “but…”s are if you have any!
XOXO!!! Sarah

Tea Talks: Sunday 9/11/2016
Hello Lovelies!
Man, this week has been the busiest week I've had in what feels like ages! Mind you, it hasn't been THAT busy, but considering I'm used to sleeping for nearly 16 hours a day every day for 2.5 years, it's been a lot. I've been getting around 8 hours of sleep every night/early morning (I can't help that I'm a night owl) and I've been running errands around town as well as completely re-doing my bedroom!
Ok lets jump in!
This week I want/need to:

This week I want/need to:
- Finish re-arranging the bedroom
- Apply to Wal-Mart (I know. I just keep putting it off)

- Fill out the Student Loan Repayment Plan/Debt Assistance thing
This week I hope to:
- Go see my best friend in Portland
- Get a call back from either gas station or the coffee shop
- Get all my clothes shopping done
I also have devised a posting plan that is even better than before! I have lots of topics that I'm wanting to talk about, but some aren't going to occur every week. The only posts I PROMISE to never miss are Tea Talks on Sunday and Wednesday as well as whatever series posts I'm doing on Thursday. Otherwise, these certain topics will be posted on these certain days!
Sunday: Tea Talks
Monday: Makeup
Tuesday: Fashion
Wednesday: Tea Talks
Thursday: Series Posts
Friday: Media Topic (Books/Movies/T.V. Shows, Music etc)
Saturday: Personal Topics
As always, thank you for reading and feel free to say hello!
XOXO!!! Sarah

Tea Talks: Wednesday 9/7/2016
Hello Lovelies!
Today is officially the middle of the week and that means that an update on the week is in order.
Things I got done so far this week:
Today is officially the middle of the week and that means that an update on the week is in order.
Things I got done so far this week:
- Finish going through things and organizing my bedroom (almost done)
- Apply to Wal-Mart and Safeway (I'm currently looking for a job)(not done)
- Get a drink with Jay (my husband) (on Friday)
- Get together with Kelsey (one of my best friends) (yep!)
- Memorize drink recipes in case I'm called for an interview (all memorized)
Things I am hoping for this week:
- Get a call back from the coffee shop I love so much that I applied to (They're hiring! I had to jump on that. More about that and the place later.) (Haven't gotten called yet)
- Get a call back from Center Market (corner store I applied to) (Haven't gotten called yet)
- Find my favorite coat and favorite interview worthy heels (Still nowhere to be found)
Now I figured out that I am missing my social security card as well. Holy crap, right? So I have to go to the social security office asap and report it and try to get a new one... Not looking forward to that one because the closest office is in Salem and that office is always SO BUSY. I mean they all are but still.
I have a couple things for y'all to look forward to in the next few weeks, starting tomorrow, because I'm starting a series! It will be on body modifications. Specifically ear stretching. I'll post once a week on Thursdays until the series is over and all questions I may get are answered. :) So let me know if you have any specific questions!
XOXO!!! Sarah

Tea Talks: Sunday 9/4/2016
Hello Lovelies!
Today is my first Sunday Tea Talks post, so forgive me if it's a bit of a roller coaster. Ok, buckle up because we're starting this ride, now. :)

My weekend has been pretty good so far. I got mad at Jay on Friday but ended up working it out by time he got off work (communication is so important people!!!) then we went out for a drink. As soon as we got home we knocked out. Saturday was spent doing errands and the sort and was his first day off since starting at Wal-Mart. It was nice to see him for more than a couple hours that day.
I'll update you guys on Wednesday on how I'm doing with my goals and if anything I've hoped for has happened! Until next time!
XOXOXO!!!
About Me
Hello Lovelies!
My name is Sarah and I wanted to welcome you to the blog! Because this is my first post, I want to tell you what I am planning on doing with this blog. This is so you know you'll be interested in reading on from here and to help myself gauge what I want to share and what you want to read.
My plan is to make a post AT LEAST two times a week. I am thinking about calling these posts Chats Over Tea because I LOVE drinking tea and writing. I want the first post of the week to be on Sunday. For this post I want to sit down and tell you what I want to achieve this week and how I felt/what I did during the weekend. I think this will set the tone for the rest of the week. The second post will be on Wednesday. This post will be pretty much the same thing as Sunday, except I will talk more about what I have accomplished so far over the week as well as what I still want to achieve. I'll also talk about things I want to do for the weekend.
What I'm not really planning is the other things that I'm going to share and do with this blog. I would like to talk about hair/makeup/fashion and home decor. I may also share things I like such as YouTubers (and things I put on YouTube myself) and movies and music. Other than those things and random pictures of my three cats that I will be sneaking into my posts, I don't know what else would be good to share on this blog. If you come across this, let me know what you think would be interesting to read!
Much love!
P.s. Enjoy the first of many, many, MANY photos of cats below. I'm very much into photography and I took this photo myself. :)
