Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets insta Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets instant sensory overload from the sound of metal scraping against metal?! 😩💀

Because WHY would you serve me a salad in a METAL bowl with a METAL fork?! 😭🤣 The sound alone is enough to send me into a full-blown sensory nightmare!

I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or autism (AuDHD), but I’ve been noticing more and more sensory sensitivities and little quirks about myself lately that have me seriously wondering. 🤪

The sound of a metal fork scraping against a dinner plate is already bad enough… but a metal fork scraping against a METAL BOWL?! Absolutely NOT. Straight to jail. 🚩🤣

I swear I can feel that sound in my entire body. 😵‍💫

So now I need to know… is this a neurodivergent sensory sensitivity thing, or does everyone hate this sound as much as I do?! PLEASE tell me I’m not alone! 😂👇

Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrat POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrated… but you absolutely HATE drinking water. 🤣💦

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

Don’t get me wrong, I am OBSESSED with flocked Christmas trees! They’re so beautiful, cozy, and give that perfect winter wonderland Christmas aesthetic. 😍

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MESS?! 😩

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointmen POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointment, but end up finding a little Christmas magic when you need it most. 🥹🎄❤️

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

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.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets insta Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets instant sensory overload from the sound of metal scraping against metal?! 😩💀

Because WHY would you serve me a salad in a METAL bowl with a METAL fork?! 😭🤣 The sound alone is enough to send me into a full-blown sensory nightmare!

I’m not officially diagnosed with ADHD or autism (AuDHD), but I’ve been noticing more and more sensory sensitivities and little quirks about myself lately that have me seriously wondering. 🤪

The sound of a metal fork scraping against a dinner plate is already bad enough… but a metal fork scraping against a METAL BOWL?! Absolutely NOT. Straight to jail. 🚩🤣

I swear I can feel that sound in my entire body. 😵‍💫

So now I need to know… is this a neurodivergent sensory sensitivity thing, or does everyone hate this sound as much as I do?! PLEASE tell me I’m not alone! 😂👇

Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your C 🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your Christmas tree! 👀

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrat POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrated… but you absolutely HATE drinking water. 🤣💦

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

💬 COMMENT “SHOP” below and I’ll send you the link to try these electrolyte drops for yourself!

And tell me… are you a water lover or a fellow water hater like me?! 😂

Don’t get me wrong, I am OBSESSED with flocked Christmas trees! They’re so beautiful, cozy, and give that perfect winter wonderland Christmas aesthetic. 😍

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MESS?! 😩

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointmen POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointment, but end up finding a little Christmas magic when you need it most. 🥹🎄❤️

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻
