Y’all, I’m asking for some extra prayers today. ❤️ Y’all, I’m asking for some extra prayers today. ❤️ Today is finally MRI day. They’re checking my brain and my cervical and lumbar spine, and I’m praying this is one step closer to finally getting some answers about what’s been going on with me.

At this point, they’re looking into possibilities like Chiari malformation, MS, or something else entirely. And honestly… I have no idea what these MRIs are going to show.

I think one of the scariest parts is the possibility that they could come back “normal” and I’ll STILL have no answers. Because when you’ve been dealing with symptoms for so long, you almost start questioning yourself and wondering, “Am I actually crazy?” 😜

I obviously don’t want them to find anything serious, but at the same time, I NEED them to find something that can explain why I’ve been feeling the way I have. If you’ve ever been stuck in that horrible limbo of “I know something is wrong, but I don’t know what”, you know exactly what I mean.

So today I’m praying for clear answers, good news, and hopefully a diagnosis and treatment plan that can finally help me move forward. 🙏🏼 And I’m REALLY hoping I don’t have to wait forever for those MRI results either because the waiting is absolutely brutal.

It’s been such a stressful and exhausting journey, and I’m just ready to get this part OVER WITH. 😭

If you’re the praying kind, I’d appreciate one today. ❤️ And if you’ve been following along through all of this, thank you for being here. It means more than you know.

Now excuse me while I romanticize my fall coffee station and pretend everything is fine. 😂☕️🍁

Hey @mutualofomaha I genuinely want to know how yo Hey @mutualofomaha I genuinely want to know how you think I can safely work as a dental hygienist with extremely noticeable hand tremors and shaking happening all the time.

How can my short-term disability claim be denied while saying I’m still capable of doing a job that requires me to use extremely sharp dental instruments underneath people’s gums every single day?

If I were your dental hygienist, would you feel comfortable trusting me to clean YOUR teeth while my hands are shaking like this? Because I don’t.

I’m not trying to get out of working. I’m trying to protect my patients and myself while I figure out what is happening to my body.

I’ve spent over 10 years working as a dental hygienist, and right now I physically struggle to hold my instruments and perform my job safely because of these tremors. I still don’t have answers or a diagnosis, and I’ve been waiting weeks for a brain MRI to hopefully help determine what’s going on.

But in the meantime, I’m expected to just go to work and continue using sharp instruments in people’s mouths like nothing is wrong?

This is so incredibly frustrating. I want to work. I WANT to be able to work. But I also want to be able to do my job safely and responsibly.

This is what happens when the healthcare system and disability insurance system fail people who are genuinely struggling to work.

If you’ve ever dealt with a denied short-term disability claim, disability insurance, chronic illness, unexplained symptoms, tremors, or being told you’re “fine” when you know something is wrong, I’d love to hear your experience. ❤️

I just wish I could sleep as peacefully as Toby does for ONE night. Must be nice to have a life where your only responsibilities are deciding when it’s time for your next nap or when you’d like a little snack. 😴🐾

What a life that must be… I’m sure it’s absolutely EXHAUSTING. 🤣

And naturally, he has to get his beauty rest after stepping directly on my face at 3 AM to wake me up. Because apparently my sleep schedule is interfering with his. 😂

Cat life really is something else. 😹🐈‍⬛

PSA: If you want the best faux fall mums, don’t wa PSA: If you want the best faux fall mums, don’t wait… they sell out every single year! 🍂

I know it feels a little early to be thinking about fall decor, but trust me on this one! These realistic faux mums are one of my favorite outdoor fall decorating finds, and they always disappear fast.

Last year I finally swapped my real mums for faux mums, and I haven’t looked back! 🤎 I could never figure out how to keep real mums alive. Too much water? Not enough? Either way, mine never seemed to last more than a few weeks. 😅

Now I can decorate my front porch for fall with beautiful artificial mums that look incredibly real, save money in the long run, and I get to reuse them every single autumn. It’s honestly one of the best fall decor investments I’ve made!

So tell me… 🍁 Are you Team Real Mums or Team Faux Mums? I’d love to know which you prefer (and if you’ve actually mastered keeping real mums alive, please share your secrets! 😂)

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.

Y’all, I’m asking for some extra prayers today. ❤️ Y’all, I’m asking for some extra prayers today. ❤️ Today is finally MRI day. They’re checking my brain and my cervical and lumbar spine, and I’m praying this is one step closer to finally getting some answers about what’s been going on with me.

At this point, they’re looking into possibilities like Chiari malformation, MS, or something else entirely. And honestly… I have no idea what these MRIs are going to show.

I think one of the scariest parts is the possibility that they could come back “normal” and I’ll STILL have no answers. Because when you’ve been dealing with symptoms for so long, you almost start questioning yourself and wondering, “Am I actually crazy?” 😜

I obviously don’t want them to find anything serious, but at the same time, I NEED them to find something that can explain why I’ve been feeling the way I have. If you’ve ever been stuck in that horrible limbo of “I know something is wrong, but I don’t know what”, you know exactly what I mean.

So today I’m praying for clear answers, good news, and hopefully a diagnosis and treatment plan that can finally help me move forward. 🙏🏼 And I’m REALLY hoping I don’t have to wait forever for those MRI results either because the waiting is absolutely brutal.

It’s been such a stressful and exhausting journey, and I’m just ready to get this part OVER WITH. 😭

If you’re the praying kind, I’d appreciate one today. ❤️ And if you’ve been following along through all of this, thank you for being here. It means more than you know.

Now excuse me while I romanticize my fall coffee station and pretend everything is fine. 😂☕️🍁

Hey @mutualofomaha I genuinely want to know how yo Hey @mutualofomaha I genuinely want to know how you think I can safely work as a dental hygienist with extremely noticeable hand tremors and shaking happening all the time.

How can my short-term disability claim be denied while saying I’m still capable of doing a job that requires me to use extremely sharp dental instruments underneath people’s gums every single day?

If I were your dental hygienist, would you feel comfortable trusting me to clean YOUR teeth while my hands are shaking like this? Because I don’t.

I’m not trying to get out of working. I’m trying to protect my patients and myself while I figure out what is happening to my body.

I’ve spent over 10 years working as a dental hygienist, and right now I physically struggle to hold my instruments and perform my job safely because of these tremors. I still don’t have answers or a diagnosis, and I’ve been waiting weeks for a brain MRI to hopefully help determine what’s going on.

But in the meantime, I’m expected to just go to work and continue using sharp instruments in people’s mouths like nothing is wrong?

This is so incredibly frustrating. I want to work. I WANT to be able to work. But I also want to be able to do my job safely and responsibly.

This is what happens when the healthcare system and disability insurance system fail people who are genuinely struggling to work.

If you’ve ever dealt with a denied short-term disability claim, disability insurance, chronic illness, unexplained symptoms, tremors, or being told you’re “fine” when you know something is wrong, I’d love to hear your experience. ❤️

POV: Your cat gets 14 hours of sleep a day but YOU POV: Your cat gets 14 hours of sleep a day but YOU’RE the one who’s exhausted. 😹😂

I just wish I could sleep as peacefully as Toby does for ONE night. Must be nice to have a life where your only responsibilities are deciding when it’s time for your next nap or when you’d like a little snack. 😴🐾

What a life that must be… I’m sure it’s absolutely EXHAUSTING. 🤣

And naturally, he has to get his beauty rest after stepping directly on my face at 3 AM to wake me up. Because apparently my sleep schedule is interfering with his. 😂

Cat life really is something else. 😹🐈‍⬛

PSA: If you want the best faux fall mums, don’t wa PSA: If you want the best faux fall mums, don’t wait… they sell out every single year! 🍂

I know it feels a little early to be thinking about fall decor, but trust me on this one! These realistic faux mums are one of my favorite outdoor fall decorating finds, and they always disappear fast.

Last year I finally swapped my real mums for faux mums, and I haven’t looked back! 🤎 I could never figure out how to keep real mums alive. Too much water? Not enough? Either way, mine never seemed to last more than a few weeks. 😅

Now I can decorate my front porch for fall with beautiful artificial mums that look incredibly real, save money in the long run, and I get to reuse them every single autumn. It’s honestly one of the best fall decor investments I’ve made!

So tell me… 🍁 Are you Team Real Mums or Team Faux Mums? I’d love to know which you prefer (and if you’ve actually mastered keeping real mums alive, please share your secrets! 😂)
