Packing for endometriosis surgery has me in full p Packing for endometriosis surgery has me in full prep mode… and I refuse to go in unprepared 😅👜

I put together this video sharing EVERYTHING I’m bringing to the hospital for my upcoming endometriosis excision surgery next week; from comfort essentials to must-haves for recovery. If you have a hysterectomy, laparoscopy, or any kind of abdominal surgery coming up, this list will seriously help you feel more ready 🙌

And if you’ve already gone through endo surgery, I need your advice 👇 what am I missing that made YOUR recovery easier?!

I’m trying to be as prepared (and comfortable) as possible for this healing journey 💛

I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surge I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surgery appointment at UNC 🤍

If I’m being honest… I woke up feeling really heavy today. Not because the appointment went badly, it actually went so well. The doctors were incredibly kind, compassionate, and for the first time, I truly felt seen, heard, and validated in my pain. I could’ve cried happy tears.

But after going over all my symptoms, they told me something that honestly shook me, but didn’t surprise me because this is what I feared all along. There’s a strong possibility my endometriosis has spread to my bowels.

And that’s where the emotions hit.

I’m angry.
Angry that I had to drive 3.5 hours just to receive proper care.
Angry that when I first brought up these symptoms, I was dismissed and told it was “rare.”
Angry that I lost months trying to find someone who would actually listen.
Angry that I wasn’t fully informed after my last surgery, that I didn’t even know endometriosis could spread to organs like the bladder… or beyond.

I had to fight for my own medical records.
I had to advocate for myself every step of the way.
And that shouldn’t be the reality for women’s healthcare.

So here’s where things stand: my surgery is scheduled for the 29th. During surgery, they’ll check my bowels. If the endometriosis is superficial, they can shave it off then. But if it’s deeper, I may need a second, more serious surgery with a colorectal specialist.

And yes… that possibility is scary. Because with that kind of surgery, you could end up with a colostomy bag which is my worst nightmare. 

But I’m also proud of myself for trusting my body and refusing to stay silent.

Endometriosis is not “just a bad period.”
It’s a full-body disease.
And more women need to know that.

I’m sharing this because I never want another woman to feel dismissed, unheard, or alone in this. Please listen to your body. Advocate for yourself. Keep pushing until someone listens.

Right now, I’m choosing faith over fear and trusting God that I’m in the right hands 🙏🏼 

Thank you all so much for your constant love, prayers, and support. It truly means everything to me! 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawareness

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.

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.

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.

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 🤤🍰

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 😻

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!

If I’m being honest… I woke up feeling really heavy today. Not because the appointment went badly, it actually went so well. The doctors were incredibly kind, compassionate, and for the first time, I truly felt seen, heard, and validated in my pain. I could’ve cried happy tears.

But after going over all my symptoms, they told me something that honestly shook me, but didn’t surprise me because this is what I feared all along. There’s a strong possibility my endometriosis has spread to my bowels.

And that’s where the emotions hit.

I’m angry.
Angry that I had to drive 3.5 hours just to receive proper care.
Angry that when I first brought up these symptoms, I was dismissed and told it was “rare.”
Angry that I lost months trying to find someone who would actually listen.
Angry that I wasn’t fully informed after my last surgery, that I didn’t even know endometriosis could spread to organs like the bladder… or beyond.

I had to fight for my own medical records.
I had to advocate for myself every step of the way.
And that shouldn’t be the reality for women’s healthcare.

So here’s where things stand: my surgery is scheduled for the 29th. During surgery, they’ll check my bowels. If the endometriosis is superficial, they can shave it off then. But if it’s deeper, I may need a second, more serious surgery with a colorectal specialist.

And yes… that possibility is scary. Because with that kind of surgery, you could end up with a colostomy bag which is my worst nightmare. 

But I’m also proud of myself for trusting my body and refusing to stay silent.

Endometriosis is not “just a bad period.”
It’s a full-body disease.
And more women need to know that.

I’m sharing this because I never want another woman to feel dismissed, unheard, or alone in this. Please listen to your body. Advocate for yourself. Keep pushing until someone listens.

Right now, I’m choosing faith over fear and trusting God that I’m in the right hands 🙏🏼 

Thank you all so much for your constant love, prayers, and support. It truly means everything to me! 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawareness

I am loving my new bedding I got in from @linensan I am loving my new bedding I got in from @linensandhutch 🙌🏻 I got the Eucalyptus quilt set and not only do I love the color, but the weight of the quilt is just perfect for me.

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 🙌

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!

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!

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

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 ✨
