It’s been a hot minute. Hello, October!
The ✨yassification✨ of tech 🧚🏼♀️
I love that customizing gaming and tech items is normalized now and I’m just glad we have more options to choose from. 🤎 forever in my beige, cozy girl era est 2020 🍂
Long caption ahead - thank you in advance if you’ll read it all the way until the end. 🫶🏻
Over the past couple of months, I have been feeling lost with what to do here on Tea Time Plans. I was excited when we moved because that would mean I could have my own set-up again. But what I didn’t factor in was how life was going to be different.
As most of you know, I’m now married. I also got my job “back” with a promotion. Those two major changes just means life has been 5x busier than it ever was compared to when I was living by myself back in Manila. Don’t get me wrong - I’m very grateful where I am in my life right now and I’m immensely glad my husband and I are not in an LDR anymore. I love our little life. And with that change and my updated list of priorities, I have been finding it hard to squeeze in time to create content - or well, I keep taking photos and videos but fail to edit it on the day I told myself I’ll be posting something.
I have been struggling a lot with how to move forward here. I’ve lost more than 3,000 followers when I went on hiatus. But then brands started reaching out and it made me feel a bit better. I moved to the US almost a year now - that also means my audience is still mainly from my home country, the Philippines, and the analytics I’ve been getting in my recent posts just have been so discouraging. M I’ve always hated the algorithm - I’ve never quite figured it out. So the past few weeks was just filled with unnecessary stress and feeling of overwhelm.
I almost quit.
I have been overthinking things - I realize that now. I used to share a lot of the mundane stuff with my work and life a year or so ago. Shared whatever I had in mind, whatever I thought brought value to me. I’ve been reminded to go back to what I’ve always talked about before - to post because you want to, not because you need to. Share because you have something you want to share to the world. Not everybody will love it and that’s okay - because the handful of people who will do, they will stay with you and even become virtual friends and that’s going to be your community.
So here is my nth attempt of reviving my little nook in the web. 🤎 x, Rae
Looking stylish and cozy while working from home is just an experience with 🍂 softest, most comfortable fabric I’ve ever worn so far. They’re having an ongoing sale right now for 4th of July - most items are 20-25% off and you can up that to 60-65% off when you use my code TEATIMEPLANS40 for an additional 40% off!!!

Honest thoughts on my story right now 🫶🏻
Hard launch of my new desk set-up. 👩🏻💻
I was debating whether to post the reels I’ve filmed first as I set all of this up or just go ahead and post the photos. I obviously chose the latter!
The past month and a half has been so crazy busy and overwhelming - I’m so grateful for the Lord’s provision - for my work that enabled to buy most of the stuff on my desk, for my supportive husband, and for brands who have reached out and are still reaching out!
I have tons of videos and pictures I’m working through in the next few weeks - finally have the time to go through them and make this little space active again! I will be going through each item so make sure you stay tuned for it!
How have all of you been doing lately? 🫶🏻
Desk iteration 2 for this year 🥺 we moved to our place over the weekend and we’ve been really busy trying to clean, organize, and set up stuff but it’s the happy kind of tiring.
Table still temporary - thinking of getting a few things but I have so many plans and things on my head for my own home office. Content will now be more frequent as I have planned - some brands have already reached out and I’m so excited to share better content with you moving forward. 🌟
Thank you for all those who stuck with me over my inactivity with the major life changes I’ve had over the past year - and to those who just recently followed me, welcome! I’m so excited to take you along with me in this journey! 🫶🏻
Desk update and some new stuff I splurged on but definitely loving.
Some unboxing reels coming your way in the next few days! 🤎

Awesome thanks to for this beautiful embroidered sweatshirt that I’ve fallen so much in love with. Unbeknownst to all my followers, I’ve had a thing for dragonflies since highschool and I just love the message I had embroidered as it resonates what I try to promote in my little space on the web - Rest Is Important.
The collection this belongs to has sold out (not a surprise) but there are tons you can choose from her shop, I’m grabbing another one or two in the next week 👀 check her profile out and her website: avintagejoy.com
“Oh no, it’s a downgrade.”
A couple of people sent me DMs along the lines of what’s above when I posted in my stories last week about being happy about my small desk. Nope, I’m not upset about it! It actually inspired me to do this post. I get it, I couldn’t blame them - I posted about my “desk goal” of a set-up over the past two years so people got used to it. And when you have that status already, people only expect you to maintain it and continue upgrading. This is, after all, the home of curated ~aesthetic~ things. 🤷🏻♀️
But that is really what happens when you leave your home country, pack your whole life in two luggages, one carry-on, and a tote - you get the chance to start again.
This set-up is temporary - but the reason why my heart is so happy about a small, incomplete set-up like this is because I’ve been “deskless” for the past six months and now I have this. And the best thing about is I had to have one because I started work last week (more about this later) after being unemployed for six months.
In fact, I’m happy you get to see me at this point again because that means I can take you guys on another journey for when I finally have a full set-up again! So, welcome! So excited to go through this with you. 🤍

The past three weeks have been really hectic for me in terms of life in and out of work. I felt a boost in my fitness and productivity the past three weeks thanks to my HUAWEI Band 7 and HUAWEI Freebuds SE! My HUAWEI Band 7 keeps me in check by sending me fitness/health reminders and helps me in de-stressing with its breathing exercises feature which makes it the perfect everyday band. I’ve enjoyed all the music, podcasts, audiobooks, and TV shows over the past few weeks using my HUAWEI Freebuds SE. The Call Noise Cancellation is one feature I really appreciated when I had to take calls from my boyfriend while outside - I was still able to hear him clearly and him the same for me.
Now what do these have in common even though they have their own functions? Both are lightweight and packed with features you would love to use over and over again. These two gadgets work perfectly hand in hand and complement each other well - I never have to worry about running out of battery because of their long battery life - more than enough to last me the whole day as I tackle tasks and do focused work.
I have a full review up on my Youtube channel: https://youtu.be/rqLNDnth1RM
Take advantage of the 7.7 sale and get one or both of them with awesome savings!

How do you do this Instagram thing again?
Probably the first unfiltered photo I’m posting on my feed. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions and a rollercoaster for my mood - I always find myself wanting to engage with my community and create new content but I always feel drained at the end of the day and just uninspired because of what I’ve been seeing on my feed.
If you’ve been here for long, you know I don’t post stuff for the sake of posting and because of that, my engagement and reach always suffer but I have now slowly learned to accept that my peace of mind and rest is more important than this platform - doesn’t make me less of a creator.
Remembering what said in his book - Becoming Better Grown-ups, “Now, instead of obsessing over how my work
defines me, I'm constantly making an inventory of
what I love. Instead of worrying about how others
will see me, I'm trying to think of ways I can make
sure they feel seen. It's a process of trying to
operate out of love and not out of a desire to be
loved.”
I hope you always find it in your heart to be in the same process as the last sentence. 🤍
I’ve wanted a leather phone case and MagSafe wallet for the past year but haven’t gotten to purchasing them yet because of other priorities - that’s why I was so ecstatic when my friends over at Bullstrap sent me these two awesome items!
I got both the iPhone 12 Pro Max and MagSafe Wallet in Sienna. From the unboxing experience to the product itself, Bullstrap exudes premium quality - there’s no doubt about that. The color is divine and the quality is just superb - I’d agree that it is indeed built for my journey! When you add lifetime warranty to the mix? Well, that’s way beyond worth it!
I can’t wait to see how it’ll look like with continued use, premium leather just ages gracefully.
Interested? Go and check out their Instagram and website for more details - they ship worldwide!
Thanks again, Bullstrap!

I only have three days to work this week and I am looking forward to the extra two days off to recharge. I am going to be honest that my mind has chosen to veer away from super productivity stuff and creating content the past few weeks because of the busyness with work - and if you’ve been here a long time, you know I’m not the kind of person who forces myself to post if I don’t have anything to post.
Anyway, I hope this week turns out great for everyone! 🤍
PS. I have an ongoing question/poll in my Instagram story for what free Notion templates you’d want from me. Don’t forget to answer or vote!
Feels so timely to have new cases for my phone and Airpods 3 thanks to my friends over at .ph! They sent me these two lovely cases which prompted a refresh for my gadgets this quarter.
The Pearl 12 iPhone Pro Max case in black looks pleasing and feels very durable with the impact protection and IMPKT cell technology they have. It also has anti-microbial casing. It’s Qi charge compatible as well so I can still use it with my wireless chargers on my desk and my bedside. A plus for me is the fact that it’s very easy to put on and remove from my phone.
The Holo Airpods 3 case is a dream. Like the phone case, it looks very pretty but is actually a durable case with anti-scratch protection. A carabiner is also included so it’s very easy to carry around. This one is also Qi charge compatible and makes charging easy.
Don’t forget to check .ph’s website for more choices from their awesome products!

What I’m grateful for last week:
✨ Getting the chance to meet up with friends over the weekend.
✨ Attending church face to face with two of my lovely DGroup friends.
✨ Pacing myself back into routines and habits after a very exhausting past two weeks of work.
✨ All the love from everyone here despite the fact that I was inactive.
✨ Genshin OST on Apple Music - I swear it’s my comfort music lately aside from worship songs.
✨ Getting my bonus from Q1 and Q2 of last year.
✨ Being able to provide for my needs and my Mom’s too.
✨ Paying off my debt in full for two of my credit lines - I seriously still need to fix my spending habits.
✨ Having the kind of trust I have for my loving God - that even in seasons when I feel like He is silent, I still am assured of His love and grace.

✨ I survived a very hectic work week hence the inactivity

✨ God’s comfort with internal struggles in a specific area in my life
✨ Just having the weekend to relax and recuperate
✨ Starting out two new studies
✨ Getting to discover new shows and songs again
✨ Not being shadowbanned anymore - lol I swear this really took a toll on my interest with creating content three weeks ago

Sundays are my favorite and in my favorite space foo. I feel so pumped for this coming week - which I just realized is the last week of March and the end of Q1. Time is just going by so fast this year.
I’ve always posted my desk but this is my comfort zone too and I love it.
It’s only Tuesday but I feel like it’s been two weeks since the weekend. I’ve been really busy with work lately and I am highly aware some of my habits and routines have been slipping - but at the end of the day, I always have the choice to choose myself over work and productivity and rest and just be kinder to myself.
I hope you always make that choice too! 🤍
Yesterday was a nice day out for me. Everything went as planned with some minor mishaps on things but it was a well-needed time outside and re-evaluating what I really want in life.
Sticking to my of hydrating still even when outside with my 12oz Tofu! My bigger one stays at home while this one is very portable to bring along.
