Anyone else have this problem when you’re laying o Anyone else have this problem when you’re laying out by the pool or at the beach trying to read a good book? 😅

No matter what style, brand, or pair of sunglasses I buy, they ALWAYS slide down my nose the second I lay on my stomach. 🤦‍♀️ I’ve tried expensive ones, cheap ones, trendy ones—you name it. Same result every time!

At this point I’m convinced I either have a weirdly shaped face or gravity just has a personal vendetta against me. 😂

It’s honestly one of my biggest pool day pet peeves because I can never stay comfortable long enough to tan my back. So while the front of me is getting plenty of sunshine, the back is staying pale because I’m constantly giving up and rolling back over. ☀️🤣

Please tell me I’m not the only one! Do your sunglasses slide down your nose too, or have you found a magical pair that actually stays put? 👇😎

POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… just to realize you’re actually gardening for the neighborhood deer. 😂🌱🦌

Apparently they decided to leave me exactly 4 cherry tomatoes and half a cucumber today. How thoughtful. 🤣

But wait until the end because you’ll see the sweetest little baby deer… and honestly, how am I supposed to stay mad after that?! 🥹❤️ They can have all the cherry tomatoes they want.

The only sad part? I haven’t harvested a single heirloom tomato this year because the deer keep eating them before they’re ripe enough to pick. 😅 I guess my garden has officially become a wildlife buffet.

Tell me I’m not the only one… What keeps eating your garden? Deer, squirrels, rabbits, or something else? ⬇️

If you’ve been following my chronic illness journe If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.”

But after my appointment with @carolina_functional_neurology, I finally felt heard.

They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget.

At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣

The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses.

So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 I’ve decided to start an Onl 🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

I’ve decided to start an OnlyPaws account so I can finally quit my job and become a full-time stay-at-home cat mom. 😹

I mean, who wouldn’t pay premium content prices to see adorable cat toe beans, fluffy paws, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of two spoiled indoor cats living their best lives? 🐾😂

The stars of this business venture, Toby and Riley, have fully consented to the arrangement (by accepting treats), and they strongly support me staying home so I can dedicate more time to serving their every need. 😜

Honestly, with content this cute, retirement might be closer than I thought. 🤣

Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍 We drove t Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍

We drove to Charlotte to see a functional neurologist, and for the first time in a long time, I left an appointment feeling heard instead of dismissed.

After listening to everything I’ve been experiencing and putting me through what they jokingly called the “Brain Olympics” 😂 (seriously…SO many neurological tests), they agreed that my symptoms are not normal. They also agree that I likely have POTS, which honestly brought so much validation after everything I’ve been through.

The testing also showed signs that something may be going on with my cerebellum that’s causing my autonomic nervous system to misfire. Because of that, they want me to get a brain MRI to investigate further, including looking for things like Chiari malformation. They’re also ordering additional bloodwork and testing for celiac disease to make sure nothing else is contributing to everything I’ve been experiencing.

Am I nervous? Absolutely.

But for the first time in a very long time, I also feel hopeful.

I know none of these are answers yet, but having a doctor who believes me, listens, and is committed to figuring this out means more than I can explain. After years of wondering if I was just imagining things or being told my tests were “normal,” that validation alone feels like a huge win.

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and shared your own experiences. Your support has helped me keep pushing for answers when it would’ve been easier to give up.

I’m taking this journey one step at a time, and I’ll continue to keep you all updated. ❤️

Have you ever had to fight to get a doctor to truly listen to you? I’d love to hear your story in the comments. 👇

America’s Exterior Remodeler

If you’re in the process of making some upgrades to your home, then I have the perfect post for you today! Whatever home improvement project you’ve got going on, Window World of Asheville has you covered. They are America’s exterior remodeler for a reason.

I was lucky enough to head over there a few weeks ago and check out their amazing showroom. And I was blown away by all they had to offer.

You may be deceived by the name, but they offer so much more than just windows! You can get all your exterior upgrades through them and even more.

So if you’re looking to boost your home’s curb appeal, look no further! I will be sharing everything they have to offer, which will hopefully give you some ideas and inspiration for your own specific project too! 

Window World Of Asheville

This post is sponsored by Window World of Asheville, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Please read my full privacy policy for more details.

​Why Choose Window World of Asheville?

If you’re considering other companies for your exterior home remodel, you might want to reconsider! Window World of Asheville is committed to helping families improve their homes with high-quality remodeling products at a guaranteed low price.

Proving the long-term value to be priceless! They offer low-maintenance, energy-efficient products, with exceptional customer service, which I can personally vouch for.

Window World of Asheville Entry

I met everyone in the office when I stopped by, and let me tell you, each and every one of their team members was so helpful and friendly. And not pushy at all!

I can’t stand when I am around a very pushy salesman. And no one there is, so you can rest assured when you go visit them, you won’t feel that way either.

Showroom

As I mentioned above, Window World is the largest home exterior remodeler because they have over 225 locations in 48 states. And each store is locally owned.

Another big reason why I love and support Window World of Asheville is because they believe in giving back as well.

Window World of Asheville Awards

They have their Window World Initiative and Window World Cares projects which support the veteran community as well as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

They are also a military-friendly employer and create many opportunities for veterans that include hiring, career advancement, and charitable donations too. 

Window World Award

Window World of Asheville’s History

Window World of Asheville first opened its doors in 1995 and their promise back then still rings true today. “Superior products, professionally installed, at a guaranteed low price.”

When you choose to work with them, you are trusting your home to decades of experience, warranties, and incomparable services when it comes to your exterior remodeling projects.

America's Exterior Remodeler

And not only that, but you are supporting a company that genuinely cares about its community and believes in giving back. Window World of Asheville also has tens-of-thousands of five-star Google reviews, so you don’t have to just take my word for it!

As I mentioned above, they also founded Window World Cares back in 2008 for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Every penny that Window World Cares brings in, is donated directly to St. Jude.

Entry Doors

And Window World of Asheville is also partnered with many veteran associations, such as: Folds of Honor, Vet Dogs, the All Veteran Group, and the Veterans Airlift Command.

Maximum Energy Efficiency 

Now that you know a little bit more about the company and what they stand for, I am going to share more about all the products they offer.

And why you should consider purchasing them for your exterior makeover. We all love energy-efficient home products because, as you know, they can help lower your energy bill while still maintaining comfortability.

Testing Temperature on Windows
Fire
Maximum Energy Efficiency
This demonstration showed how even after blowing fire on the outside of the windows, the inside temperature stayed the same!

Not only that, but you also get peace of mind from choosing eco-friendly products. Window World double-hung windows and fiberglass entry doors have both been honored with the Good Housekeeping Home Renovations Awards too.

So you know you are getting a quality product. All windows and patio doors come standard with dual-pane glass, and can even be upgraded to Low-E glass or SolarZone glass for maximum performance.

Corner Frame Of Window

Their insulated glass units use argon gas between the window panes to create a thermal barrier against energy loss.

And the chambers within the vinyl frames increase the structural integrity as well. If you’re looking for new siding, vinyl siding can help you be a little more eco-friendly too.

Asheville Window World Showroom

It generates a lot less waste during installation and requires fewer resources to maintain, which is always nice.

And if you’re looking for a new front door, their fiberglass entry doors can offer up to 4 times the insulating value of wood. So as you can see here, an eco-friendly home definitely equals a more happy and healthy home!

Window Example

Vinyl Windows 

Since I touched on their windows above, let’s dive a little deeper into the specifics. If you’re wanting energy-efficient windows, vinyl windows are the way to go for sure.

They save enough energy to meet the annual electricity needs of 20,000 single-family homes (according to the Vinyl Institute). They keep your home cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, all while reducing the consumption of fossil fuels to protect the environment too!

Windows

You may not know this, but the leading component in the production of vinyl is actually salt. And that is an inert natural resource.

Vinyl windows also weigh a lot less than other window products, requiring less energy consumption during their transportation.

And according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) vinyl windows should last a lifetime, so you won’t have to purchase new windows again! Which definitely is the most value for your money in the long run!

Siding Options

​Which Window Style Should I Pick?

Window World of Asheville offers so many different options when it comes to windows. Since windows frame our view every day, the type of window you choose is super important.

Window Examples

And thankfully, they have every type of window you could ever want! In customizable sizes and colors too! I will list some of the popular ones and a brief description below so you can see which windows would give you the most visual appeal in your home as well.

They also offer shutters as well to go along with whatever kind of window you choose. They offer arch and transom shutter tops, so you can accent even the most uniquely shaped windows on the exterior of your house!

Temperature Testing on Windows
  • Double-Hung Windows– their top-selling window because it combines both function and design and has easy-care cleaning convenience.
  • Sliding Windows– these windows open horizontally and allow fresh air and light to pour into the home. 
  • Casement Windows– ideal for homes with windy climates because they pull the breeze inside when open. 
  • Awning Windows– popular for homes in rainy climates because it allows for added flexibility and security when opening for airflow.
  • Picture Windows– these windows are ideal for framing a beautiful view outside.
  • Special Shaped Windows– available in a wide variety of different and stylish shapes, these windows can offer endless design opportunities. 
  • Garden Windows– these windows are perfect to display herbs and flowers because of the convenient alcove they create. 
  • Bay Windows– a popular choice for extra seating or decorative accents because of the generous depth. 
  • Bow Windows– consists of 4 or more similarly sized windows joined together to create the effect of a curve. 
Bay Window

Entry Doors

And again, Window World of Asheville is not just windows! If the front of the house needs a new entry door, then they’ve got that covered too!

Door Options

They are engineered to look great and last a lifetime. Their doors are designed to protect your home from the harshest elements, while coming in several styles and configurations. All backed by their lifetime warranty guarantee.

Fiberglass Entry Doors

Their entry doors are engineered to resist rotting, warping, and twisting. And they come in woodgrain, smooth, and modern styles too so you can get exactly what you want!

Sliding Patio Doors

And if your home’s exterior needs other doors such as hinged patio doors, sliding patio doors, a new garage door, or storm doors, they offer those too! 

Entry Door Options

Siding Solutions

Siding can definitely help improve the overall first impression of your home, and thankfully Window World of Asheville offers many different siding solutions.

Siding Solutions

They have an extensive collection of specialty siding and composite cladding. All of which feature a range of different designs, textures, and colors.

Siding Colors

Talk about improving the aesthetic appeal of your home by adding some colored siding! Their vinyl siding also carries the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal as well, so you know the quality of materials you are getting is vouched for.

Different Siding Options

What Is the Total Cost?

While the average cost of exterior renovations varies from project to project, you can rest assured that Window World of Asheville will give you a fair price for both the material costs and labor costs. They even offer free quotes.

Garage Door Siding

So if you’re serious about your home improvements, head over to their website and fill out their free quote form. They even offer a virtual or in-home consultation too, which would be the best way to determine the upfront cost of your project. 

Enjoy Your Renovations! 

Well, I hope this post gave you some ideas of just about everything you can do to the exterior of your home with help from Window World of Asheville.

Your property value will definitely increase once you’ve made a few of these changes. Whatever home renovation project you have in mind, let Window World of Asheville help you!

View Of Showroom

Like I said above, they are the nicest people and I love the fact that they give back to the community and veterans too.

While the overall cost of a home renovation project can be a lot, it gives me peace of mind knowing that you are supporting a good, local company like this. I’d much rather do that than buy something from big-box stores.

Window Showroom

What projects or renovations do you have going on at your house now? I’d love to hear all about them below and to see if America’s Exterior Remodeler can be the right fit for you too!

At this point I’m convinced I either have a weirdly shaped face or gravity just has a personal vendetta against me. 😂

It’s honestly one of my biggest pool day pet peeves because I can never stay comfortable long enough to tan my back. So while the front of me is getting plenty of sunshine, the back is staying pale because I’m constantly giving up and rolling back over. ☀️🤣

Please tell me I’m not the only one! Do your sunglasses slide down your nose too, or have you found a magical pair that actually stays put? 👇😎

POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… just to realize you’re actually gardening for the neighborhood deer. 😂🌱🦌

Apparently they decided to leave me exactly 4 cherry tomatoes and half a cucumber today. How thoughtful. 🤣

But wait until the end because you’ll see the sweetest little baby deer… and honestly, how am I supposed to stay mad after that?! 🥹❤️ They can have all the cherry tomatoes they want.

The only sad part? I haven’t harvested a single heirloom tomato this year because the deer keep eating them before they’re ripe enough to pick. 😅 I guess my garden has officially become a wildlife buffet.

Tell me I’m not the only one… What keeps eating your garden? Deer, squirrels, rabbits, or something else? ⬇️

If you’ve been following my chronic illness journe If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.”

But after my appointment with @carolina_functional_neurology, I finally felt heard.

They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget.

At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣

The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses.

So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 I’ve decided to start an Onl 🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

I’ve decided to start an OnlyPaws account so I can finally quit my job and become a full-time stay-at-home cat mom. 😹

I mean, who wouldn’t pay premium content prices to see adorable cat toe beans, fluffy paws, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of two spoiled indoor cats living their best lives? 🐾😂

The stars of this business venture, Toby and Riley, have fully consented to the arrangement (by accepting treats), and they strongly support me staying home so I can dedicate more time to serving their every need. 😜

Honestly, with content this cute, retirement might be closer than I thought. 🤣

Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍 We drove t Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍

We drove to Charlotte to see a functional neurologist, and for the first time in a long time, I left an appointment feeling heard instead of dismissed.

After listening to everything I’ve been experiencing and putting me through what they jokingly called the “Brain Olympics” 😂 (seriously…SO many neurological tests), they agreed that my symptoms are not normal. They also agree that I likely have POTS, which honestly brought so much validation after everything I’ve been through.

The testing also showed signs that something may be going on with my cerebellum that’s causing my autonomic nervous system to misfire. Because of that, they want me to get a brain MRI to investigate further, including looking for things like Chiari malformation. They’re also ordering additional bloodwork and testing for celiac disease to make sure nothing else is contributing to everything I’ve been experiencing.

Am I nervous? Absolutely.

But for the first time in a very long time, I also feel hopeful.

I know none of these are answers yet, but having a doctor who believes me, listens, and is committed to figuring this out means more than I can explain. After years of wondering if I was just imagining things or being told my tests were “normal,” that validation alone feels like a huge win.

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and shared your own experiences. Your support has helped me keep pushing for answers when it would’ve been easier to give up.

I’m taking this journey one step at a time, and I’ll continue to keep you all updated. ❤️

Have you ever had to fight to get a doctor to truly listen to you? I’d love to hear your story in the comments. 👇

Anyone else flip the switch to fall mode the secon Anyone else flip the switch to fall mode the second the Fourth of July is over? 🍂😂

I hope y’all had the best Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙 We had the sweetest, low-key Independence Day celebrating at home, and honestly… it was one of my favorite holidays yet.

We spent the afternoon relaxing by the pool, then my hubby smoked his famous ribeyes for a delicious family dinner. 🥩(comment “Recipe” below if you want me to send it your way! 😉) After that, we hopped on the golf cart and drove around until we found the perfect spot to watch the Fourth of July fireworks near our house. 🎆
