Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers for doctor notes, lab results, treatments, medications, scans, surgeries, symptoms, and medical records at just 33 years old… but here we are. 😂

After months of appointments and still feeling like no one can put all the puzzle pieces together, I’ve officially decided I’m becoming that patient. You know, the one who walks into every appointment carrying a giant medical binder, receipts in hand, ready to advocate for herself and get some ANSWERS. 😂👏🏻

Because if navigating chronic illness has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you have to become your own medical historian and your own biggest advocate.

There is a little bit of good news though! 🙌🏻 I was able to get an appointment with Duke’s Electrophysiology Clinic to hopefully get more help with my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and figure out a better treatment plan. The downside? My appointment isn’t until October 30th. 🙃 So once again… we wait.

I’m really hoping that by the end of this year, I’ll finally have more answers, a treatment plan that actually helps, and a clear path forward. 🤞🏻

Until then, catch me organizing my medical records like they’re a high school research project. 😂📑

Anyone else with chronic illness have a giant medical binder too?! Because I have a feeling I’m definitely not the only one. 👇🏻

🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR 🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR TREE!

I found these adorable stackable pumpkins at Dollar Tree for only $5 each, and of course I immediately started thinking about how I could give them a little high-end fall makeover! 🍂

I started with a coat of black spray paint, then went over them with a metallic bronze spray paint to add the prettiest subtle shimmer. ✨ I finished them off with a cute little bow on top, and just like that—a simple Dollar Tree find looks like expensive fall porch decor! 🙌🏻

My porch definitely isn’t fully decorated for fall yet, but I think these DIY Dollar Tree pumpkins are a pretty cute start, don’t you?! 😍

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree find and transforming it into something that looks way more high-end! And this one was SO easy to do. 🎃

Would you try this Dollar Tree fall decor DIY?! 🍁

Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween? 🎃👻

Apparently Little Miss Riley is NOT a fan of her new Halloween cat sweater… and she made that very clear. 😹 I, on the other hand, think she looks absolutely adorable in her tiny spooky outfit!

Honestly, I’m shocked we even got the sweater on her. She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈

I always love making a cute Halloween boo basket, and since we don’t have kids, obviously my cats are getting one instead! 😂🧡

I filled their cat boo basket to the brim with all their favorite treats, Halloween-themed cat toys, and even a few costumes because what’s a boo basket without some embarrassing Halloween outfits?! 👻🤣

Now, they may not appreciate the costumes… but I KNOW they’re going to love the treats and toys! 😹🐾

Care Of

So I have recently partnered with a company called Care Of and they literally send you any kind of vitamins and/or supplements straight to your door every month!

You simply go to their site and fill out a fun little quiz. Then, it will give you suggestions as to what vitamins you should be taking every day.

You can either order them all, or pick and choose which ones you want. It is completely customizable, which I love! I thought I would share a fun little review of it today in case you haven’t ever heard of them before.

I think they are totally worth it. Plus, you can use my coupon code “CHARITY50” to get 50% your order with them.

Care Of Vitamins
Here is everything I take from Care Of.

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy. Always consult your doctor or physician before starting a new vitamin or supplement routine.

Why I Love Care Of Vitamins

One of the main reasons I love Care Of is because of the cute and convenient packaging. They put every single vitamin you need into one little pack that you take everyday.

Which means it makes it super easy to pack whenever you go on vacation or out of town! No more packing a bunch of different bottles!

Just take with you however many packs you need for the amount of time you are gone for. And each packet as a cool quote or fact on it. It’s definitely a fun way to start your morning!

Single Vitamin Packs
See the cute little package they come in?! I love it!

Also, they don’t have just vitamins alone. They have many other supplements that you can choose from as well too. I get Maca and Collagen Powder with my order every month too.

I will talk more in depth about the specific ones I get a little later. But I love how they give you the options to add on collagen, boosts, and protein as well depending on what your body needs.

What Does The Quiz Ask?

As I mentioned above, you take a personalized quiz on Care Of’s website. This gives them an idea as to what you should take daily. It takes less than 5 minutes and it is super easy to do.

They start off by asking if you are a vitamin-pro or if you are a little skeptical of taking vitamins. It also asks how many vitamins and/or supplements you take daily as well.

Other things it asks about are if you take any powders and if you are interested in either prenatal or postnatal vitamins.

Of course your age and sex are a part of the quiz basics. It dives a bit deeper and asks you what your goals are. Like things you want to improve on such as immune health, sleep, heart health, etc.

From those it will ask you what your top priority is. Then after you give all your answers, it will come up with a plan for you.

Of course, you don’t have to add in all of the suggestions it gives you. I did however add everything in it suggested for me and I am glad that I did!

Coffee and Collagen
This is my morning routine. Right after coffee of course!

What I Take Everyday

After taking the online quiz, here is what it told me I needed to take:

  • Maca Powder- For energy and fitness performance
    • Comes with 5 single serve packets
    • You can mix it with water or add it into a smoothie. I personally like to add it into my morning smoothie when I am feeling extra tired.
  • Collagen Powder
    • Supports elasticity in skin as well hydration
    • Helps strengthen nails
    • Comes in unflavored as well as other flavors too (I get the unflavored)
    • Add into coffee, smoothies, or tea daily
  • Rhodiola
    • Supports a healthy response to occasional stress
  • Vitamin C
    • Helps maintain a healthy immune system
  • Probiotic Blend
    • Helps naturally regulate your digestive system
  • B-Complex
    • Supports the nervous system
    • Promotes energy metabolism
Care Of Vitamins Review
Pin for later!

Conclusion

I think Care Of is a great idea and a great way to get you to take the necessary vitamins your body needs. Before them, I never really took any vitamins at all.

Y’all know I take Goli Gummies (see my ashwagandha experience or apple cider vinegar experience), but that’s about it.

And I would consider those more as supplements rather than vitamins. So I am rather pleased with myself for taking this step and caring more about my overall health.

I have been taking them for a month and a half now and I have had no ill experience with them at all. It’s convenient and easy and if you are looking to improve your health too, then take the step and join the Care Of family!

If you have any questions at all, then please let me know! I would love to help you out in any way that I can!

    I love the convenient packaging! I have to say, however, that the nurse in me suggests always notifying your family Dr. & pharmacist before starting any new vitamins or holistic treatment particularly if you are on any medication. You’d be amazed at the number of drug interactions that can occur.

Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers for doctor notes, lab results, treatments, medications, scans, surgeries, symptoms, and medical records at just 33 years old… but here we are. 😂

After months of appointments and still feeling like no one can put all the puzzle pieces together, I’ve officially decided I’m becoming that patient. You know, the one who walks into every appointment carrying a giant medical binder, receipts in hand, ready to advocate for herself and get some ANSWERS. 😂👏🏻

Because if navigating chronic illness has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you have to become your own medical historian and your own biggest advocate.

There is a little bit of good news though! 🙌🏻 I was able to get an appointment with Duke’s Electrophysiology Clinic to hopefully get more help with my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and figure out a better treatment plan. The downside? My appointment isn’t until October 30th. 🙃 So once again… we wait.

I’m really hoping that by the end of this year, I’ll finally have more answers, a treatment plan that actually helps, and a clear path forward. 🤞🏻

Until then, catch me organizing my medical records like they’re a high school research project. 😂📑

Anyone else with chronic illness have a giant medical binder too?! Because I have a feeling I’m definitely not the only one. 👇🏻

🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR 🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR TREE!

I found these adorable stackable pumpkins at Dollar Tree for only $5 each, and of course I immediately started thinking about how I could give them a little high-end fall makeover! 🍂

I started with a coat of black spray paint, then went over them with a metallic bronze spray paint to add the prettiest subtle shimmer. ✨ I finished them off with a cute little bow on top, and just like that—a simple Dollar Tree find looks like expensive fall porch decor! 🙌🏻

My porch definitely isn’t fully decorated for fall yet, but I think these DIY Dollar Tree pumpkins are a pretty cute start, don’t you?! 😍

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree find and transforming it into something that looks way more high-end! And this one was SO easy to do. 🎃

Would you try this Dollar Tree fall decor DIY?! 🍁

Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween? 🎃👻

Apparently Little Miss Riley is NOT a fan of her new Halloween cat sweater… and she made that very clear. 😹 I, on the other hand, think she looks absolutely adorable in her tiny spooky outfit!

Honestly, I’m shocked we even got the sweater on her. She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈

I always love making a cute Halloween boo basket, and since we don’t have kids, obviously my cats are getting one instead! 😂🧡

I filled their cat boo basket to the brim with all their favorite treats, Halloween-themed cat toys, and even a few costumes because what’s a boo basket without some embarrassing Halloween outfits?! 👻🤣

Now, they may not appreciate the costumes… but I KNOW they’re going to love the treats and toys! 😹🐾

So take this as your sign to make a Halloween boo basket for your cat this year! It’s such a fun way to spoil your feline friend and get them in the spooky spirit. 🎃🧡

Would your cat love a boo basket or absolutely HATE the costumes? 😂
