Happy Tuesday Best-teas! It's always a pleasure to be together for some tea and wild Reddit stories that are sure to make your mouth drop. Before we start Tashima talks about her experience with kids and phones. Maggie shares her tea of officially introducing her kids to the King of Pop 🤴🏽.
Our reddit threads this week have some gall. We know wedding costs can quickly add up, leaving couples scrambling to find ways to cover the expenses. Our first Reddit thread explores the controversial practice of charging guests for weddings. Is it ever ok?
Also, we discuss the emotional and practical challenges of cleaning the house of a hoarder. This thread discusses a complex situation that happened between two friends.
Bes-teas, what are your thoughts on soggy cereal? Yay or blasphemy 😆? Let us know your thoughts!

Bes-Teas we missed you!!! It’s been too long 🥹. Tis the season of Valentine's Day therefore it's only fitting that we share some funny Reddit stories with you.
We also have a couple cutesy stories of the hilarious things kids have said or done. Do you have a funny or maybe not so funny Valentine's experience? What about some of the wildest lies you've heard a kid say? I have to say the stories in today's episode definitely made me laugh. Kids actually do say the darnedest things.
And you already know it wouldn't be a Hello Bes-Tea episode without a round of It's Kind Of A Funny Story and we even managed to squeeze a couple of Hot Takes in there too.
Remember Bes-Teas every single day YOU are OUR Valentine 💝, thank you for spending time with us and as always we will see you next week 🫶🏽

Welcome back Bes-Teas! We're so happy you're here 🤗. Today's episode has some juicy Reddit drama for you and you know we're here for all of it. The first thread seemed to be an open and shut case but we will let Besteas decide. In the second thread, a boyfriend (we will use that term loosely) ultimately got his girlfriend deported. Let us know your thoughts below ⬇️
☝🏽Bes-teas, we need some juicy stories!! Send all the saucy tea to us at hellobesteas@gmail.com

It’s the last Tuesday of the month Bes-teas and you know what that means! It’s Book Club time!! Let’s talk about this week's book, The Pivot Year by Brianna Wiest. Although Tashima did fumble the ball, we will give her a small pass for her reasoning. It was a slightly convincing argument 🤭.
We discussed another great book, Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies: And other Rituals to Fix Your Life, From Someone Who’s Been There. Both Books promote a growth mindset, encouraging personal development and self-improvement.
Grab your cozy slippers, a nice drink because Bes-teas you are all invited to join the book club discussion. Share with us your own growth mindset insights.
Have you read/listened to Allegedly by Tiffany D. Jackson? If not, what are you waiting for?! It’s an awesome pick. Show us your face when you get to the end 🤯.
**Tashima's book club pick for our next meeting will be: The Midnight Library, but Matt Haig
This book has quite some buzz and we are here for all of it. If you have a book club pick you want to read with us let us know below or at hellobesteas@gmail.com. See you next week Bes-teas xoxo.

Happy Tues Bes-Teas! In this episode we have a dilemma when a woman's husband is caught in a lie, claiming she is his sister to avoid suspicion. This story from Reddit exposes the lengths some people will go to hide their affairs. Bes-teas would you pop-up or simply ask him directly?
Through another Reddit thread we explore and compare the complex emotions surrounding loss. Two siblings experience losses around the same time but handle them very differently.
Let us know your thoughts below or at @hellobesteas@gmail.com

The chaotic realities of air travel, student loan drama, and a timeshare gift from hell are explored through relatable and humorous Reddit stories. Bes-teas share your own experiences and how you would navigate these stressful situations AKA nightmares. Would you spend all your money to pay off your siblings student loans? Would you have given up your seat on the plane for a bratty kid? Also, what are your thought on taking a little of the corporate bottom Robinhood style 🤭?

Hey Bes-teas, get ready to hear some shocking, bizarre, and unexpected Reddit threads that Maggie scoured the dark depths of the internet for. It is true what they say, you CANNOT eat at everybody's house 🤢. Grab your fuzzy slippers and probably something to drink (you just might need it to get through this first thread). We also talk about Michelle Obamas show The Later Daters, the Martha Steward Documentary and sleeping with 1,000 men in 24 hours 👀.

A lifelong Floridian, she enjoys spending her leisure time at the beach and revels in the year round sunny climate. Maggie is a hardcore goal setter and thoroughly enjoys checking items off of her constantly growing to-do list.
