Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST wa Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST way to end a trip to Hilton Head Island 🌅🐚✨

Our last night in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina was unforgettable thanks to @nativesonadventures! We hopped on their sunset cruise and made a stop at the famous shell island to search for shark teeth (no luck this time 😅), but WOW… the shells were absolutely unreal. I’ve never seen so many beautiful ones in one place!

We also cruised past the rumored Luke Bryan Hilton Head house, and yes… it’s just as incredible as you’d imagine 👀🏡

This experience was the perfect send-off to our trip and honestly one of the best things to do in Hilton Head! If you’re planning a visit, add a sunset boat tour + shell island adventure to your itinerary ASAP 🙌

POV: you just found the best thing to do in Hilton POV: you just found the best thing to do in Hilton Head Island ⛵️✨

Yesterday we went on our very first sailboat with @islandheadsailing and it was seriously one of the most fun experiences we’ve had on the island! Even though it was freezing (I was fighting for my life on the way back 🥶🤣), the views of the water were absolutely unreal.

We booked their Hilton Head brunch sail, and it came with the cutest spread of brunch goodies to enjoy while cruising, 10/10 recommend. Between the ocean breeze, peaceful vibes, and stunning scenery, this is hands down a must-do in Hilton Head Island.

If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Hea If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Head Island, RUN to Java Burrito Company 🌯🔥

We ate here yesterday and I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be the best burrito I’ve ever had. I ordered the steak burrito (10/10), and don’t even get me started on the chips + queso… I could’ve eaten 5 baskets 🤣

Everything is super fresh, and you can fully customize your burrito, bowl, tacos, or quesadilla exactly how you want. PLUS they have a full coffee bar, so it’s also one of the best breakfast spots on Hilton Head too ☕️

Yes, there might be a wait… but trust me, it’s 100% worth it.

Save this for your next Hilton Head trip 👇 #hiltonheadfood #hiltonheadfoodie #hiltonheadeats #javaburrito #hiltonhead
One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton Head Island is The Salty Dog Cafe 🌴🐾 It’s one of the most iconic waterfront restaurants on the island, and for good reason!

We biked over for lunch one day (highly recommend doing this if you’re exploring Hilton Head by bike 🚲), and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip. The seafood was incredible, I got the crab legs and they were SO good, but honestly the entire menu looked amazing 🤤

Between the stunning marina views, laid-back coastal vibes, and all the fun gift shops (yes, we grabbed way too much merch 😂), this spot is such a fun experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head or a must-try waterfront dining spot, add this to your list ASAP!

Have you ever been to The Salty Dog Cafe?! 👇#thesaltydog #thesaltydogcafe #hiltonheadeats #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland
Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO wh Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO when you’re visiting! We toured the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse and the views were absolutely unreal—360° panoramic views of the marina, island, and coastline for just $7.50 🙌 Totally worth it!

Afterward, we explored all the cute shops, waterfront restaurants, and watched the massive yachts roll in (honestly could do that all day 😍). If you’re a golf fan, you’ll love that RBC Heritage is right around the corner—we even caught them setting up for it!

Save this for your trip because Harbour Town is one of the best things to do in Hilton Head Island 🌴✨ #harbourtown #harbourtownlighthouse #lighthouse #hiltonhead #thingstodoinhiltonhead
We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton Head this past weekend, and I’m still thinking about it 🤤 It was our very first night on the island, and this spot completely set the tone for the trip!

The atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Coastal, cozy, and the perfect vibe for a special night out ✨

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰

If you’re planning a trip to Hilton Head Island or looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head, you have to add Benny’s to your list! #hiltonheadislandsc #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland #hiltonheadrestaurants #explorehiltonhead

You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s tim You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s time to water them 😅🌿

These realistic faux hanging ferns just saved my porch decor AND my energy levels 🙌 I found them at @loweshomeimprovement and I’m officially converted, they look so real without the daily watering, mess, or stress.

As someone with limited energy, switching from real plants to low-maintenance artificial greenery has been a game changer. My porch still feels lush, cozy, and Pinterest-worthy… just without the upkeep 💚

Now I’m curious, are you team real plants 🌱 or team faux plants 🌿?!

Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March doe Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March does. 💛

For me (and millions of women) this is a daily battle, not just a “month.” Chronic pain, endless doctor visits, tests, and constantly fighting just to be heard… it’s exhausting, and it’s real.

This month has been especially hard. So many appointments, so many unknowns, and the emotional toll of advocating for your own health over and over again. Women’s pain deserves to be taken seriously the first time, not after we’ve fought to prove it.

I’ll keep using my voice, no matter how small this platform may feel, to raise awareness for endometriosis, chronic illness, and the realities of women’s healthcare. Because change only happens when we keep speaking up.

April brings a new chapter for me- my surgery is finally coming, and I’m holding onto hope that relief is on the other side. 🤍

But please remember: just because Endometriosis Awareness Month is over doesn’t mean this disease disappears. It affects millions of women every single day.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s keep advocating. And let’s keep fighting for better care. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisfighter

So of course I had to share these edited cat pics with y’all because they’re too funny to keep to myself 😻

Where To Stay In Brevard, NC

This past week, we had the incredible experience of going to Brevard for a couple of days. So I figured I would share exactly where to stay in Brevard, NC with you all too.

That way, if you’re looking to plan a trip, you will know exactly where to book and where to go as well. Because trust me, you don’t want to miss this place!

We were lucky enough to stay at the beautiful Meraki Escape and I am telling you, this is the ultimate couples getaway! If you’re celebrating an anniversary, an elopement, Valentine’s Day, a birthday, or really just need an excuse to get away for a little bit with your spouse, this is the place.

Not only is the cabin beautiful and full of amenities, but they offer several unique packages and experiences as well! I will be highlighting everything we did during our two night stay there in this post for you.

And honestly, two nights was not enough! I would love to be able to stay a full week there. It was truly so relaxing and much needed for me and my hubby! So if you’re needing a romantic escape too, keep on reading to see just how truly magical Meraki is!

Sunset Views

This post also contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission off anything you purchase through here, at no additional cost to you. Please read my full Disclosure policy for more details.

Ukiyo Cabin

We stayed in the Ukiyo Cabin and it was none other than perfect. Right now, there are two cozy cabins on the property, and they have plans on expanding eventually as well. But all the amenities the cabin offered inside was truly incredible. We really had everything we needed, and more!

Cabin Name

Bedroom

One thing I can appreciate now that I am older when traveling is having a nice firm mattress and a ceiling fan, blasted on high, when sleeping.

Meraki Bedroom
Bed

And I am happy to report that our cabin had both so we were really able to rest and sleep well. The cabin is also dog friendly, so there is a crate and everything you need for your furry friend too, which is always a nice touch.

Dog Supplies

And, I always love a nice, plush hotel robe, and Meraki has them hanging and ready to go in your bedroom closet too.

Robes

There is also a washer and dryer as well as room darkening curtains, so you can sleep in as late as you want to!

Laundry

And right before you enter the bedroom, there is a huge shelf of books! Which is right up my alley too. I absolutely love to read, so it’s nice to know if you forgot a book, they have you completely covered with all their reading material too!

Book View

Bathroom

I think it goes without saying that the best part of the bathroom is the spa shower. It is a walk-In with dual shower heads, body jets and rainfall shower head too.

Shower

Plus, it is fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash too. In the shower itself, there is a skylight and a bench too so you truly have everything you need to enjoy a nice long and hot shower!

Shower Supplies

I also loved that there is a vanity area in the bathroom so when you’re getting ready, you have a nice spot to do so. There is also an ample supply of mouthwash and lotion ready to go, and not only is there a hairdryer, but a straightener too!

Vanity

I always think that hotels should have this option as well. It’s so nice to have that and not have to bring your own from home!

Bathroom

Also, the bathroom was fully stocked with not only bathroom towels, but towels for the hot tub outside too which was so nice to be able to grab and go!

Bathroom View

Living Room

The living room and kitchen area are a nice and open concept so even though the cabin is small, you feel like you have plenty of room! Plus, there is a gas fireplace in the living room too which I am always a fan of as well.

Living Room

And of course, the wi-fi in the cabin was strong and worked really well too. As far as streaming services go for the TV, there is Youtube TV, so you are pretty much able to watch whatever show you want! The leather sofa was super comfy to relax on and watch our favorite shows.

Inside Cabin

Kitchen

I absolutely loved the kitchen in this place! It was fully stocked with every kind of drink ware you could possibly need, as well as plenty of plates and silverware too.

Kitchen View

I also loved the fact that there were plenty of spices and cooking oil for you to use too. When I’m on vacation, I always hate grocery shopping and trying to get all those basic things, because usually I always forget them. So it’s nice that I didn’t even have to worry about it here!

Spices in Kitchen

Another one of my favorite things, was that the fridge was fully stocked with farm fresh eggs for us to use, as well as other breakfast items such as bagels and oatmeal too.

Farm Fresh Eggs

Plus, there was lemon infused water in a pitcher (as well as bottled water) for us to use and enjoy too!

Water

I just love little thoughtful touches like that when we are staying somewhere. There were also several coffee options as well.

Coffee on Porch

And even a cute little hot cocoa bar to enjoy too! The attention to detail in this cabin was nothing short of amazing!

Hot Cocoa Bar

Another thing I loved was the juicer! And we were even supplied with fresh oranges to use it with. So naturally we had freshly squeezed orange juice every morning. And even made a mimosa or two with them as well!

Juicer
OJ
Freshly Squeezed OJ Mimosas

Exterior

The exterior of the cabin is really just as amazing as the interior of it! Of course, my favorite feature was the hot tub! Y’all know we have one at home too and absolutely love it.

Hot Tub Deck Views

So I always require a hot tub when we stay somewhere on vacation too. There is nothing like soaking in a hot tub to help relieve all my aching joints!

Hot Tub Deck
Us in Hot Tub
Hot Tub
Views From Hot Tub
Sunset Views From Hot Tub

And once you’re used to that life, there is no going back! Plus, the outdoor deck offered incredible views too. And you can even use the privacy curtains around the hot tub, while still enjoying the view outside too.

Hot Tub

On the deck there is also a fire table, which we enjoyed nightly! And there is a Weber grill outside too so if you want to throw anything on the grill for dinner, you could easily do so!

Fire Table on Deck

Like I already mentioned, the views from the outdoor deck were incredible. We even had a full moon the first night we were there, so the porch was beautifully lit from that.

Full Moon

You can also see Lake Jocassee from out in the distance too!

Sunset View

So as you can see, the outside of the cabin truly is just as magical as the inside too!

Porch Furniture
Fire Table
Deck View

Meraki Experiences

Well, now you know where to stay in Brevard, NC! But Meraki is more than just a luxury cabin stay, they also offer so many cool experiences as well!

Couples Massage

We were able to do a couples massage one day and they come directly in your cabin and set everything up for you. That way, you don’t even have to leave to enjoy the massage, which is so nice!

Us After Couples Massage

Another experience we did was have a private chef, Amber Cate, come in and make us a phenomenal three course meal.

Burrata Salad

Everything was so delicious and again, it was so nice to be able to just sit back and relax and not even worry about dinner! If you’re local to the Asheville area like us, Chef Amber Cate also does catering options around the area too.

Shrimp and Scallops

So if you ever need a private chef for something, keep her in mind because literally our dinner was one of the best meals we’ve ever had!

Dessert

A Free Gift With Your Stay!

Well, if I haven’t convinced you by now that you need to take a trip to Brevard, NC and stay at Meraki, maybe this will sweeten the deal even more!

Gift Basket

They were nice enough to give me a coupon code for you all. Just use “MACEDONIA” when checking out to receive a locally curated gift basket (worth over $125!). It will be filled with all sorts of local goods and gifts!

Gift Basket Goodies
Baked Goods

Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST wa Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST way to end a trip to Hilton Head Island 🌅🐚✨

Our last night in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina was unforgettable thanks to @nativesonadventures! We hopped on their sunset cruise and made a stop at the famous shell island to search for shark teeth (no luck this time 😅), but WOW… the shells were absolutely unreal. I’ve never seen so many beautiful ones in one place!

We also cruised past the rumored Luke Bryan Hilton Head house, and yes… it’s just as incredible as you’d imagine 👀🏡

Yesterday we went on our very first sailboat with @islandheadsailing and it was seriously one of the most fun experiences we’ve had on the island! Even though it was freezing (I was fighting for my life on the way back 🥶🤣), the views of the water were absolutely unreal.

We booked their Hilton Head brunch sail, and it came with the cutest spread of brunch goodies to enjoy while cruising, 10/10 recommend. Between the ocean breeze, peaceful vibes, and stunning scenery, this is hands down a must-do in Hilton Head Island.

If you’re planning a trip here and looking for unique things to do, add this to your list ASAP 🙌🏻 #sailing #hiltonhead #sailboatlife #sailboating #sailboatlove
If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Hea If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Head Island, RUN to Java Burrito Company 🌯🔥

We ate here yesterday and I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be the best burrito I’ve ever had. I ordered the steak burrito (10/10), and don’t even get me started on the chips + queso… I could’ve eaten 5 baskets 🤣

Everything is super fresh, and you can fully customize your burrito, bowl, tacos, or quesadilla exactly how you want. PLUS they have a full coffee bar, so it’s also one of the best breakfast spots on Hilton Head too ☕️

Yes, there might be a wait… but trust me, it’s 100% worth it.

Save this for your next Hilton Head trip 👇 #hiltonheadfood #hiltonheadfoodie #hiltonheadeats #javaburrito #hiltonhead
One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton Head Island is The Salty Dog Cafe 🌴🐾 It’s one of the most iconic waterfront restaurants on the island, and for good reason!

We biked over for lunch one day (highly recommend doing this if you’re exploring Hilton Head by bike 🚲), and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip. The seafood was incredible, I got the crab legs and they were SO good, but honestly the entire menu looked amazing 🤤

Between the stunning marina views, laid-back coastal vibes, and all the fun gift shops (yes, we grabbed way too much merch 😂), this spot is such a fun experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head or a must-try waterfront dining spot, add this to your list ASAP!

Have you ever been to The Salty Dog Cafe?! 👇#thesaltydog #thesaltydogcafe #hiltonheadeats #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland
Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO wh Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO when you’re visiting! We toured the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse and the views were absolutely unreal—360° panoramic views of the marina, island, and coastline for just $7.50 🙌 Totally worth it!

Afterward, we explored all the cute shops, waterfront restaurants, and watched the massive yachts roll in (honestly could do that all day 😍). If you’re a golf fan, you’ll love that RBC Heritage is right around the corner—we even caught them setting up for it!

Save this for your trip because Harbour Town is one of the best things to do in Hilton Head Island 🌴✨ #harbourtown #harbourtownlighthouse #lighthouse #hiltonhead #thingstodoinhiltonhead
We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton Head this past weekend, and I’m still thinking about it 🤤 It was our very first night on the island, and this spot completely set the tone for the trip!

The atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Coastal, cozy, and the perfect vibe for a special night out ✨

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰

If you’re planning a trip to Hilton Head Island or looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head, you have to add Benny’s to your list! #hiltonheadislandsc #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland #hiltonheadrestaurants #explorehiltonhead
Come explore Savannah with us in under 24 hours! 😂 Come explore Savannah with us in under 24 hours! 😂✨ The ultimate quick weekend getaway packed with charm, history, and the cutest downtown vibes.

We squeezed in a spontaneous trip after an epic night at an Eric Church concert and before heading to Hilton Head Island… and honestly, it was SO worth it.

From strolling the historic downtown streets to shopping, eating, and soaking in all the southern charm, Savannah is seriously picture-perfect. We explored the iconic Riverwalk, admired the architecture, and of course had to stop by the stunning @jwmarriottsavannah Plant Riverside District to check out the fossils, geodes, and one-of-a-kind lobby 😍

We stayed at @thedraytonhotel which was the PERFECT location for walking everywhere (highly recommend if you’re planning a Savannah trip 👀), and wrapped up the night with dinner at @circa1875savannah 🤌✨

Hot take: we had the BEST time, but as die-hard Charleston lovers… Charleston still has our hearts 💛

Now it’s time to unwind and recharge in Hilton Head 🌊☀️

You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s tim You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s time to water them 😅🌿

These realistic faux hanging ferns just saved my porch decor AND my energy levels 🙌 I found them at @loweshomeimprovement and I’m officially converted, they look so real without the daily watering, mess, or stress.

As someone with limited energy, switching from real plants to low-maintenance artificial greenery has been a game changer. My porch still feels lush, cozy, and Pinterest-worthy… just without the upkeep 💚

Now I’m curious, are you team real plants 🌱 or team faux plants 🌿?!

Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March doe Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March does. 💛

For me (and millions of women) this is a daily battle, not just a “month.” Chronic pain, endless doctor visits, tests, and constantly fighting just to be heard… it’s exhausting, and it’s real.

This month has been especially hard. So many appointments, so many unknowns, and the emotional toll of advocating for your own health over and over again. Women’s pain deserves to be taken seriously the first time, not after we’ve fought to prove it.

I’ll keep using my voice, no matter how small this platform may feel, to raise awareness for endometriosis, chronic illness, and the realities of women’s healthcare. Because change only happens when we keep speaking up.

April brings a new chapter for me- my surgery is finally coming, and I’m holding onto hope that relief is on the other side. 🤍

But please remember: just because Endometriosis Awareness Month is over doesn’t mean this disease disappears. It affects millions of women every single day.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s keep advocating. And let’s keep fighting for better care. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisfighter

My husband has officially entered his ✨ChatGPT era✨ but instead of using it for work or research, he’s out here editing our cats’ photos like a full-time meme creator 🤣 And honestly? I’m not mad about it. The results are hilarious, way too good, and guaranteed to make my day every single time.

So of course I had to share these edited cat pics with y’all because they’re too funny to keep to myself 😻

Tell me I’m not alone… does anyone else use AI or ChatGPT to edit their pet photos?! 😂👇 #chatgpt4 #chatgptprompts #funnycatvideos #funnycatpics #funnycatsofinstagram

Time to give this old planter a refresh, and I’m OBSESSED with how this bonsai planter makeover turned out 😍 I grabbed everything I needed from @loweshomeimprovement to create this peaceful, zen-inspired plant moment for my porch

There’s just something about spring gardening and getting your hands in the dirt that feels so therapeutic… even if we are still risking a late frost here in NC 😅🌱 But I couldn’t resist starting just a little early

And of course, little Miss Riley had to supervise (aka approve) the final result 🐱💚

If you’re ready to refresh your planters, start your spring garden, or create your own tranquil bonsai setup, this is your sign ✨
