A day In The Life: Tea Thursday.

Hey!
Today I thought I'd do a different kind of post: A Day In The Life.

So I woke up at around 10ish, and it was raining which just makes me want to lay in bed allllllllll day. I laid in my bed for a while, scrolling through my social medias to see what i've missed whilst I was asleep. I don't think I could name one person who doesn't scroll through their phone like a newspaper!

Then I got up eventually, got washed and ready. I put on my burgundy jumper styled dress which I got from Primark, I am in love with it! I paired in with my black tights as it was a miserable day and put on my black suede boots which are also from Primark. (£8, bargain!!)

For my makeup, I always use my Nivea moisturiser before applying anything.

I wasn't feeling foundation really as it was raining lots, so I used my Maybelline Eye Eraser over the majority of my face, rubbing it onto my skin with my Real Technique Perfect Face brush. 

I then used the Stay Matte face powder over my face, followed by Rimmel bronzer on my cheeks around my chin and forehead and the Rimmel London blusher in Santa Rose with my Real Technique blusher brush. 

I then used my Soap & Glory eyebrow pencil to fill in and then my Roller Lash mascara on my eyelashes to give me the full eye look.

I took this image of my make-up a few hours later so it looks a little faded...

I packed up my laptop and things I needed for the day and got on the bus to my town centre. 
I met my Mam whilst she was on her lunch for work. We popped into WHSmith, where I bought some more stationary bits for University.

I got a planner that will go on my desk, it displays the days of the week and has a notes section on the side. (middle of image, £8.99) 

I also got a list item with 'Stuff to do' because I am obsessed with writing lists and I love how it can peel off easy, I hate when you pull a page out and it gets all messy, nope. (Right of image, £6.99)

Then we were just about to leave and I spotted a 15/16 Diary that matched my desk planner, so I had to buy it... (Left of image, £10.99)

Mam bought all of this for me, so thanks Mammy.....

Then I left Mam as she had to go back to work, so I decided to go to Tea @ Hart (blog post will be linked about this place, it's unreal!)

I ordered my usual, Yorkshire Tea, and sat applying for jobs in Sunderland. I have to get myself a cute little tea set like this one, especially the strainer! 

I also caught up on my Youtube watching and spoke to my best friend Zhiyin who is still in China, but is coming home to me soon!! 

Of course then I got tempted but the beautiful cakes Jeni makes! I went for the lemon cake which was gluten free, with a lemon curd centre and cream on the side. Wow it was gorgeous! 

This is an incredibly random post I know but I took some pretty photos so I thought why not, I mean pictures with CAKE.

Tea@Hart

This adorable vintage cafe sits on York Road, Hartlepool. Jeni Hart is the owner and she is a very friendly lady who’s best interest is the customers. Everything on the menu comes from local produce so it is very fresh and they also serve gluten-free desserts! The décor inside is vintage with shabby chic tables and chairs, based around the soothing colours of white and navy blue. This venue is not only a tea room but an internet cafe too. You are given the Wi-Fi password, which is always a bonus, and is a lovely and peaceful place to sit and get on with your work, either with your pen and paper or your laptop. Phone chargers are also available upon request!

It’s a quaint cafe that offers up to 20 different flavours/types of tea, which vary from Green tea, to Japanese to my favourite, Yorkshire. Tea is served in a tea pot with a vintage strainer as well as a dainty china tea cup and saucer. On each table is brown and white sugar cubes to use if you take it in your tea/coffee. They serve varieties of drinks from fizzy in stylish glass bottles, to fresh milkshakes that come in small milk bottles! They have a variety of foods on their menu from Panini’s and sandwiches’ to scones and slabs of cake, which are all very delicious!

Afternoon Tea

My personal favourite is the Cream Tea, which consists of any choice of tea (mine always being Yorkshire) and either a cheese or fruit scone. A cheese scone is served with butter but my preference is the fruit scone which is assisted by a pot of fresh jam and clotted cream! It’s absolutely delicious.

I often go to complete my college work as it as a lovely environment which is relaxing but yet not too silent. Although you can actually pre-book tables by contacting Jeni (I will attach details below to contact). I did this for my 18^th birthday were I organised a group of my friends to meet up for afternoon tea, which was a great treat! The tables and chairs were moved to ensure we were together and comfortable.

As well as being a tea room, it also hosts gamer’s nights and it’s named ‘Gamers-At-Hart’ it hosts events on evenings and during the day for families. It includes a variety of fun games for all ages, a mix of board games, modern and retro games, collectible card games, miniature and war games! It’s a one of its kind and draws a great crowd!

Inside the cafe they sell games related to the above as well as special teabags and food items. All for cheap too! You can buy any flavoured tea in different forms and also strainers. 

Their online Facebook rating is 5 stars and it’s well deserved! I’d highly recommend it to anyone of any age as it doesn't exclude anyone. You can contact Jeni through the Facebook page Tea-at-Hart or by the mobile number 07981227669 to make reservations or queries. The gamer’s page is Gamers-At-Hart which you can also contact her on. It’s located at 102 York Road, Hartlepool and its right outside the main bus stops!

I highly recommend visiting the tea room, it’s a lovely environment and scrumptious food! I hope you enjoyed the blog, now go on over and give their Facebook page a like to join the 700 that already enjoy the place!
