Anyone else with a chronic illness immediately Goo Anyone else with a chronic illness immediately Google every possible side effect before starting a new medication? Because I swear if there’s a rare reaction listed, somehow I’m the lucky winner. 🤣

Being chronically ill means I’ve tried my fair share of medications over the years, and my body always seems to have a mind of its own. If a medicine is supposed to make people sleepy, I’ll be wide awake all night. If there’s a tiny chance of an adverse reaction, somehow I’m usually that tiny percentage. 😅

So starting a new medication is always a little nerve-wracking for me. Part of me is hopeful it’ll finally provide some relief, and the other part is preparing for whatever random side effect my body decides to throw my way.

Here’s hoping this one actually helps my symptoms without adding a whole new list of problems. 🤞😂

Tell me I’m not the only one who reads the side effects before taking a new prescription! 👇 #sideeffects #medicationsideeffects #chronicallyill #chronicillnesslife #chronicillnessmemes
Vintage Americana decor has my heart ❤️🤍💙 There’s Vintage Americana decor has my heart ❤️🤍💙

There’s just something about decorating with old red, white, and blue treasures that makes a home feel extra cozy for summer. I love styling my dining room shelves with vintage Americana pieces, antique finds, and patriotic decor that can stay up from Memorial Day all the way through the Fourth of July and beyond!

Give me all the weathered flags, vintage crocks, old books, and classic Americana touches. 🇺🇸

I know some people pack away their patriotic decorations after July 4th, but I love leaving my summer patriotic decor out all season long. It just feels timeless to me!

Do you decorate with patriotic decor all summer, or do you switch things up after the Fourth of July? #vintageamericana #vintagepatriotic #americanadecor #americana #patrioticdecor
POV: being on surgery recovery leave for a month t POV: being on surgery recovery leave for a month turned me into a full-time homebody 🤣

Honestly, staying home healing after surgery has taught me one thing… I never want to leave my house again 😂 Being cozy at home with my cats, resting, binge watching shows, and avoiding the outside world has been absolutely glorious. I truly understand the “stay at home cat mom” lifestyle now lol.

At this point, I have everything I need right here at home. Peace, comfy clothes, snacks, my pets, and zero social obligations 🤣 Meanwhile, every time I actually leave the house, I come back completely exhausted.

So the fact that I have to go back to work today after a month of recovery is honestly going to be SUCH a rough adjustment 😅 I’m not mentally prepared to rejoin society yet lol. Anyone else secretly love being home way too much?!

Honestly, I’ve been struggling with the thought of Honestly, I’ve been struggling with the thought of going back to work while still recovering from surgery. Between the physical healing and the emotional side of post-surgery recovery, I’ve been feeling pretty down lately. So this comedy date night ended up being exactly what I needed.

We bought tickets to see @johnbcrist months ago, long before I had any idea I’d be spending a month on surgery leave. Turns out the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. This was our third time seeing him live, and he absolutely delivered. I laughed so hard that for a couple of hours, I completely forgot about returning to work, ongoing recovery, and all the stress waiting for me next week. 🤣

Before the show, we had dinner at @redgingerasianbistro and finished the night with dessert at @timesbarandcoffee which made the whole evening even better. Good food, lots of laughs, and quality time with my husband was exactly the distraction I needed.

Sometimes healing isn’t just about physical recovery. Sometimes it’s about finding little moments that remind you how good it feels to laugh again. ❤️ 

Have you ever had a random night out come at exactly the right time? #johncrist #johncristcomedy #comedyshow #datenightideas #asheville
Not me having to put on my sunglasses every time I Not me having to put on my sunglasses every time I have to chop onions because my eyes tear up so bad… 🤣

Ever since I had LASIK surgery a few years ago, chopping onions has been brutal on my eyes. I’m talking instant tears the second I start cutting them 😂 Apparently my eyes became extra sensitive afterward, and honestly it’s been a struggle ever since.

But then I heard about the “wear sunglasses while chopping onions” hack and y’all… why does it actually work?! 😅 So now anytime my hubby isn’t home to take over onion duty, you can catch me in the kitchen wearing sunglasses indoors looking ridiculous but tear-free 😎 

If you’ve ever wondered how to stop crying while cutting onions, consider this your sign to try the sunglasses trick! It may look silly, but it seriously helps block those onion fumes from hitting your eyes 👏

Now I need to know… does anyone else have weird kitchen hacks like this? 😂 #kitchenhacks #cookinghacks #onionhack #cookinghack #onions
Y’all already know I’ve been on a serious freezer Y’all already know I’ve been on a serious freezer meal kick lately since I unfortunately have to go back to work next week 😭 And let me tell you… having a freezer stocked full of easy homemade dinners is about to save me on those busy weeknights!

One of my all-time favorite freezer meals is this homemade chicken pot pie recipe 🥧✨ It definitely takes a little extra work, especially if you make the homemade pie crust from scratch; but trust me, it is SO worth it. The creamy chicken filling, flaky buttery crust, and cozy comfort food vibes make it one of the best dinners ever.

Anytime I make homemade chicken pot pie, I always make two: one for dinner now and one freezer meal for later. And this time, I took my extra frozen chicken pot pie to my sweet mama after her surgery yesterday 💛 It’s honestly the perfect meal to bring someone recovering from surgery, welcoming a new baby, or just going through a hard season because all they have to do is pop it in the oven for an easy homemade comfort meal.

If you love easy freezer meals, homemade comfort food recipes, or make-ahead dinners for busy families, you definitely need to try this one!

I can’t believe it’s officially been one month sin I can’t believe it’s officially been one month since my endometriosis excision surgery. Honestly, I really thought by now I’d be coming on here saying I finally felt like myself again. I wanted this surgery to be the answer so badly. But the truth is… I’m still struggling every single day.

The lower back pain, hip pain, chronic fatigue, GI issues, insomnia, dizziness, and POTS-like symptoms are all still here. And while my surgeon was absolutely wonderful and removed the endometriosis she found, we’re now starting to realize there may be something more going on underneath it all.

Right now we’re exploring possibilities like EDS, MCAS, and POTS, which honestly feels overwhelming because getting doctors to truly listen and take women seriously can feel like a full time job in itself. I know so many women with chronic illness, endometriosis, and invisible illnesses understand exactly what I mean.

But even though I’m discouraged, I’m not giving up. I know my body, I know something still isn’t right, and I’ll continue advocating for myself until I get answers. And if sharing my story helps even one woman feel less alone in her own health journey, then it’s worth it 🤍 #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisexcision #chronicallyill
Since I’ve been home recovering from surgery and g Since I’ve been home recovering from surgery and getting ready to head back to work next week, I’ve been stocking my freezer with all my favorite freezer-friendly meals, and this crockpot spaghetti sauce is always at the top of the list 🍝❤️

This easy slow cooker spaghetti sauce recipe is seriously my all-time favorite comfort food. There’s nothing better than a big plate of spaghetti with homemade meat sauce, especially when the crockpot does all the work for you! Just toss everything in, let it simmer low and slow all day, and your house smells AMAZING 🤤

One of the best parts? This recipe makes a huge batch, so I always freeze extra for easy weeknight dinners later on. Just thaw, heat, and dinner is basically done 🙌 Perfect for busy work weeks, meal prep, freezer cooking, and easy family dinners!

I love using fresh strawberries and blueberries to create the red, white, and blue patriotic design, and the sweet sugar cookie crust with creamy frosting makes it absolutely irresistible. Plus, it’s one of those quick and easy desserts that’s perfect whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, heading to a cookout, or just wanting a fun summer treat!

As we celebrate Memorial Day weekend with BBQs, fa As we celebrate Memorial Day weekend with BBQs, family gatherings, and time spent with loved ones, let’s not forget the true meaning of Memorial Day 🇺🇸❤️

This holiday is about honoring and remembering the brave men and women of our military who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and for this country we love so much. Because freedom is never free.

So while you enjoy the long weekend, fly your American flags proudly, hug your family a little tighter, and take a moment to remember the heroes who gave everything for the United States of America. Land of the free because of the brave. 🇺🇸 #america #memorialday #freedomisntfree #rememberthefallen #memorialdayweekend🇺🇸

5 Interior Design Styles for 2020

With each new season, we look to give our homes certain details that will transform it into what that season represents.

This leaves decorators and designers around the world the ability to show us the top trends in order to spice up our living spaces that you will be able to do a lot with when it comes to decorating for the different holidays or seasons.

Luxury interior designers make it easier to decorate as they create a space of beauty and ease. Say goodbye to ugly recliners, scratchy sheets, tough carpeting, and stuffy spaces in a luxury home.

Below are 5 interior design styles for 2020.

Texture

Some living rooms can look very uninviting. That’s why texture is so important. A texture that is set to make waves in 2020 is bouclé.

It started as a staple on the catwalk and is now becoming super popular in homes, particularly living rooms.

The looped yarns create a raised curled quality that gives a cozy feel. This technique, with the smart stitching detail, will bring pattern and life to decorative finishes on sofa arms, footstools and cushions alike.

Living Room Texture
I love to add texture in my living room with pillows and rugs as you can see here. You can check out all my rugs in my home here too as well.

Biophilia Design

Biophilia is trending! It incorporates human design and natural elements into your home design. A lot of people today want to have a stylish home and incorporate organic elements into it, and biophilia in the way to do it.

Materials like recycled wood can be used for chairs, tables, and floors while plants can create a green and organic atmosphere.

High tech, modern homes were surging, but 2020 will be all about the old rustic feel and creating an environmentally friendly space.

Bedrooms and bathrooms can also be transformed into awesome spaces by using rich earthy elements including metals, wood, and stone.

Biophilia Design Table
Our tabletop is made from reclaimed barn wood.

Eclectic Glamour

A move on from Retro Revival last year, this is 2020’s bold, confident and sassy alternative on an old trend.

Taking it up a notch, this style is a grown-up one that channels thirtie’s elegance. Shapely furniture with rounded curves and fluid shapes takes center stage within this elegant theme.

Think 1920s elegant occasional chairs that you often see in old television shows with the scalloped shell-like backs and soft edges, but more modern designs nowadays.

Farmhouse Office Space
I love the rounded back I have to my unique office chair.

Large Scale Art and Wall Murals

Another trend set to take center stage in 2020 are large scale art and wall murals. This is going to make its way into our homes via wallpaper, paint, decals or large scale prints.

Consider placing your large scale art as a backdrop to your bed or couch or even the length of a long hallway or walkway.

This is such a dynamic look that is so easy to make happen. If you want the look without the commitment, try one of the alternatives that aren’t permanent.

Geometric Design
I like to add fun, geometric patterns to my planters I have around the house.

Bolder Geometric Patterns

In modern decor and furniture, clean lines and geometrically appealing designs have been in for a while now.

With newer and bolder geometric patterns being introduced through clothing today, we believe that the trend will soon be a big part of the interior design in homes.

Another reason to believe that this trend will catch on is the versatility of geometric designs as they can be used in designing everything from furniture and lighting to wallpapers and pillow covers.

Whether it’s on your walls or part of an accent piece of furniture, it’s hard to ignore these geometric patterns right now.

    Biophilia was a whole new concept to me! But it’s totally me. I’ve never been so happy as I was when I put couple simple pine sprigs in a vase. So pretty, completely free and it brought a beautiful natural smell to my apartment for days. Same goes for picking flowers from the nearby forest rather than buying a bouquet. Simple, beautiful and colourful but fresh.

Meanwhile, his shiny new truck is sitting safe and spotless in the garage where not a single speck of dirt or potting soil can touch it 😂🚙

Tell me I’m not the only wife dealing with this kind of logic?! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 #marriagehumor #povreels #funnymarriage #husbandwifecomedy #husbandwifejokes
I can’t believe it’s officially been one month sin I can’t believe it’s officially been one month since my endometriosis excision surgery. Honestly, I really thought by now I’d be coming on here saying I finally felt like myself again. I wanted this surgery to be the answer so badly. But the truth is… I’m still struggling every single day.

The lower back pain, hip pain, chronic fatigue, GI issues, insomnia, dizziness, and POTS-like symptoms are all still here. And while my surgeon was absolutely wonderful and removed the endometriosis she found, we’re now starting to realize there may be something more going on underneath it all.

Right now we’re exploring possibilities like EDS, MCAS, and POTS, which honestly feels overwhelming because getting doctors to truly listen and take women seriously can feel like a full time job in itself. I know so many women with chronic illness, endometriosis, and invisible illnesses understand exactly what I mean.

But even though I’m discouraged, I’m not giving up. I know my body, I know something still isn’t right, and I’ll continue advocating for myself until I get answers. And if sharing my story helps even one woman feel less alone in her own health journey, then it’s worth it 🤍 #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisexcision #chronicallyill
