If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydratio If you deal with POTS symptoms, chronic dehydration, or heat intolerance, then you know the struggle is REAL. 😅 I feel like I’m constantly trying to stay hydrated between drinking water, adding electrolytes, and hoping my body decides to cooperate for once.

But if I’m being honest, no amount of water hydrates my soul quite like the ocean does. 🌊💙 There is just something about sitting by the beach, listening to the waves, and feeling the salt air that instantly makes me feel better.

Now, does having POTS-like symptoms mean I don’t tolerate the summer heat very well? Absolutely. 😂 But that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for a little beach therapy. You’ll find me parked in the water, sipping my electrolytes, pretending I’m a mermaid, and refusing to leave until further notice. 🤣

The ocean may not cure my dehydration, but it sure does wonders for my mental health. 🌊☀️

Anyone else feel like the beach is the best kind of therapy?

And also, my cute swimsuit is on sale for just $24 today too! So if you’re in need of a new swimsuit for summer, check it out! 😉

Plot twist: Riley’s biological mom is still part o Plot twist: Riley’s biological mom is still part of the family too! 😹🐾

A few years ago on Valentine’s Day morning, my mom discovered a mama cat and her three kittens on her front porch. As a lifelong cat lover, there was absolutely no way I wasn’t bringing one of those sweet rescue kittens home once she was old enough. And that’s how Riley became part of our family. ❤️

Fast forward to today, and Riley has grown into the funniest, sassiest, most personality-filled cat I’ve ever had. She’s definitely not a lap cat, and she makes you work for every ounce of attention and affection, but somehow that just makes me love her even more. 😂

The best part? My mom ended up keeping Riley’s mom, Smoke, while finding loving homes for all the other kittens. So Riley’s mama is still around, and we get to see her from time to time. 🥹🐱

It feels like this whole rescue cat story was just meant to be. ❤️

DIY: Target Dollar Spot Hack

So, as you may already know, I am a sucker for anything from the Target Dollar Spot. You just can’t beat cute decor and cheap prices!

It’s a win-win! I found the adorable galvanized metal house frame there last year and decided to turn in into a showcase for an ornament.

With just a few items and dollars, you can create this beautiful Christmas showpiece as well! See just how I created this easy DIY of a Target dollar spot hack!

DIY Target Dollar Spot Hack
I love the way this turned out!

Supplies Needed:

  • Galvanized metal house frames (I haven’t seen any this year at our local Target yet, but hopefully they will make a comeback since they were so popular last year!)
  • A special ornament you want to showcase (I just used an extra Rae Dunn one I had on hand- big surprise there!)
  • Glue dots
  • Extra garland for below the ornament (optional)
  • Little wreath and tiny bottle brush trees (also found in the Target Dollar Spot as well)
Supplies needed for DIY Target Dollar Spot Hack
Here is everything you need to get started!

Okay so after you have everything you need, just simply tie your ornament to the very center of the house up top. Then, add a glue dot to the very front of the house.

This will be where your wreath will go.

DIY Target dollar spot hack
If you look closely here, you can see where I attached the glue dot up top.

So then glue your wreath to the top of the house and add little bottle brush trees to each side of the ornament if you want. I noticed my ornament kept turning around and wouldn’t stay centered.

So I found some leftover garland I had laying around and wrapped it up to form a small wreath to place under the ornament. This helped to stabilize it and prevent it from turning around.

Depending on what kind of ornament you use for this project, you may want to do that too.

I placed my house on the top of my mug rack!

I just love doing simple and easy Christmas projects like this! Kinda like my simple and easy Faux Christmas Planter display!

And if you make one too, let me know, I would love to see it! It’s the perfect quick and easy project for Christmas decor! This was the perfect dollar spot hack in my opinion!
