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

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 💚

Between regular appointments with my PCP, referrals to specialists, booking consults with surgeons, seeing multiple OB-GYNs, cardiology appointments, and all the follow-ups in between… my calendar is basically just doctor visits at this point.

Living with a chronic illness like endometriosis means constantly advocating for yourself, seeing new specialists, running tests, and hoping someone finally has answers. It’s exhausting, expensive, and honestly overwhelming sometimes.

I keep wondering… will there ever be a month where I don’t have multiple medical appointments? Or is this just the reality of living with chronic illness? 😆

If you’re also navigating chronic illness, specialist appointments, and endless doctor visits, just know you’re not alone in this. 💛

Did you know yellow is the official color for Endo Did you know yellow is the official color for Endometriosis Awareness Month? 💛

Which is ironic because I honestly hate the color yellow… but I hate endometriosis even more. 🤣 So this month I’m wearing yellow nails for the cause.

And honestly, it’s a great conversation starter. If someone asks about my nails, I get to tell them about endometriosis awareness and why it matters. Because the more we talk about this disease, the more people start to understand it.

It still blows my mind that 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis, yet so many of us struggle for years to get diagnosed, treated, or even taken seriously. Women dealing with chronic pain deserve answers, research, treatment, and funding.

So if wearing yellow nails helps start even one conversation about endometriosis symptoms and women’s health, I’m all for it. 💛

I may be one small voice on the internet, but I’ll keep talking about endometriosis this month and every month after, because this disease affects my life every single day.

This was my second round wearing a Holter monitor, because the first time everything came back “normal.” And if you’ve been following my health journey, you know what I’m dealing with is definitely not normal.

Between the shakiness, heart episodes, and living with endometriosis, something is clearly going on. I don’t know yet if it’s POTS, endometriosis related, or something else entirely, but I’m desperate for answers at this point.

The hardest part? Being told over and over that “your labs look normal.” Meanwhile it’s affecting my job, my daily life, and my quality of life. Why do so many women have to fight to be taken seriously in healthcare?

The good news is I actually had another episode on Wednesday while wearing the monitor, so I’m really hoping it finally caught something.

Praying this round wasn’t for nothing and that I can finally get some real answers and a diagnosis soon. 💛 #holtermonitor #pots #potssyndrome #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth

DIY Wood Bead Heart Wreath

Are you looking for the perfect Valentine’s wreath for your front door this year?! Well, look no further because I have the easiest idea for you! Come check out this cute and easy DIY Wood Bead Heart Wreath I made this weekend!

Whether you are an experienced crafter or not, this Valentine wreath tutorial is great for anyone, regardless of skill levels. And, since this wreath is made from wood beads, it’s very different from any traditional wreaths you have seen for Valentine’s Day in the past.

But, honestly, it is way more cost effective too because of the minimal supply list. And I am all about that! Usually, when you see Valentine wreath ideas online, the supply list is astronomical. So if you’re on more of a budget, but looking to enhance your Valentine’s Day decor, this post is for you!

Finished Hanging Wood Bead Heart Wreath
So cute and simple! Perfect for Valentine’s Day decor!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

Materials Needed for Heart Wreath:

Wood Beads of Various Sizes

Wired Twine (and Wire Cutters to cut the twine with)

Valentine’s Day Themed Ribbon

Materials Needed For DIY Wood Bead Heart Wreath
All the materials you need for this easy DIY project. Linking the list below for you too:

And that’s it! Do you know of many other themed DIY projects like this that only call for 3 materials?! I cant think of that many! So that’s why I love this valentine decoration- cute but cost effective as well!

I also still had some wired twine leftover, so that wasn’t an extra cost for me either. Most of these materials are dollar store items too so you can save some money by shopping there as well.

Stringing on the Wood Beads

This craft may remind of you of my Beaded Wood Pumpkin I made in the fall last year. Or my DIY Wood Bead Ornament that I made for my Christmas decorations too. As you can probably tell, I am loving these simple wood bead crafts.

You can easily transition them into whatever season you are celebrating or decorating for. I also had plenty of leftover wired twine, so I didn’t even need to buy anymore for this project.

Separating Large and Small Wood Beads
I like to separate the large and small beads into different bowls so I can easily string them onto the wired twine.

I absolutely love being able to reuse crafting supplies, don’t you?! If you can’t find wired twine, you could also probably use some floral wire as well. You just want something that is strong enough to hold the shape of a heart, while still being easy to work with as well. But usually, any craft store will have them in stock.

Also, if you want the beads to be different colors, you could definitely paint them before stringing them onto the wired twine. I thought about doing that, but I was kind of leaning towards a more neutral Valentine’s Day decoration. Plus, skipping the painting makes this craft even easier!

Wood Beads on Wired Twine
Stringing the beads onto the twine.

Obviously, the first thing you need to do for this DIY wood bead heart wreath, is to string the beads onto the twine. I alternated between the small and large beads back to back to give it more visual interest. But, if you wanted to do all the same sized bead, you could definitely do that too.

Creating the Valentines Wreath

Now that you have the wood bead all strung out, you can now shape the wired twine into a heart shape. I just brought the two ends together and then tied a knot between the two to combine them in the middle of the heart shape. You could also use a drop of hot glue from a hot glue gun as well to combine it.

Stringing Wood Beads on Wired Twine
Creating the heart shape here.

But I decided not to do that. Instead, to hide the bulky knot of wired twine, I used some Valentine’s Day themed ribbon and tied a little bow on top. You could use red ribbon if you have some leftover from Christmas too. That would be another cost effective way to create this wreath too.

However, I just decided to buy a cheap Valentine’s Day ribbon for this project. I also love the pop of pink the ribbon gives to the otherwise completely neutral wood bead heart wreath.

Finished DIY Wood Bead Heart Wreath

Enjoy Your Wood Bead Heart Wreath

That was the final step to this little Valentine’s Day wreath DIY tutorial! It’s such a great way to create a cute wreath like this. This was also so much fun to make and would be perfect Valentine’s day crafts to make for a party too. Especially since it is so easy and the best part is literally anyone could make them too!

If you’re looking for more Valentine’s Day decorations too, be sure to check out my DIY Vintage Valentine Heart Garland. Or my Vintage Valentine’s Centerpiece tutorial as well.

Wood Bead Heart Wreath in Entryway
It looks super cute hanging in my entryway space!

I hope you enjoyed this valentines day wreath idea and if you make your own DIY valentine wreath too, please let me know! I would love to see it in different shades too. I think that would be really pretty. I may make another one and paint it pink! Seeing as how pink is my favorite color.

I think that’s why I love Valentine’s Day decor so much. It makes it perfectly acceptable to sneak pops of pink into my home! I hope you all enjoy celebrating cupid’s favorite day and I am so glad you stopped by to check out this quick and easy tutorial as well!

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 ✨

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 🌿?!

Little Miss Riley is fully embracing the warm weather, living her best life as a porch sunbathing queen ☀️ No job, no stress, no responsibilities. Just vibes, naps, and being adorable while everything is handed to her on a silver platter 😻 Honestly… the dream life.

POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list i POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list is longer than your friends list. 🤣

Between regular appointments with my PCP, referrals to specialists, booking consults with surgeons, seeing multiple OB-GYNs, cardiology appointments, and all the follow-ups in between… my calendar is basically just doctor visits at this point.

Living with a chronic illness like endometriosis means constantly advocating for yourself, seeing new specialists, running tests, and hoping someone finally has answers. It’s exhausting, expensive, and honestly overwhelming sometimes.

I keep wondering… will there ever be a month where I don’t have multiple medical appointments? Or is this just the reality of living with chronic illness? 😆

If you’re also navigating chronic illness, specialist appointments, and endless doctor visits, just know you’re not alone in this. 💛

Did you know yellow is the official color for Endo Did you know yellow is the official color for Endometriosis Awareness Month? 💛

Which is ironic because I honestly hate the color yellow… but I hate endometriosis even more. 🤣 So this month I’m wearing yellow nails for the cause.

And honestly, it’s a great conversation starter. If someone asks about my nails, I get to tell them about endometriosis awareness and why it matters. Because the more we talk about this disease, the more people start to understand it.

It still blows my mind that 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis, yet so many of us struggle for years to get diagnosed, treated, or even taken seriously. Women dealing with chronic pain deserve answers, research, treatment, and funding.

So if wearing yellow nails helps start even one conversation about endometriosis symptoms and women’s health, I’m all for it. 💛

I may be one small voice on the internet, but I’ll keep talking about endometriosis this month and every month after, because this disease affects my life every single day.

If you’re an Endo Warrior, just know you’re not alone. 💛 #endometriosis #endowarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisawareness #endometriosiswarrior
I finally got to take my Holter heart monitor off I finally got to take my Holter heart monitor off this morning… and let me tell you, I will NOT miss this thing 😅 But now I’m left with this itchy red mark as a little souvenir.

This was my second round wearing a Holter monitor, because the first time everything came back “normal.” And if you’ve been following my health journey, you know what I’m dealing with is definitely not normal.

Between the shakiness, heart episodes, and living with endometriosis, something is clearly going on. I don’t know yet if it’s POTS, endometriosis related, or something else entirely, but I’m desperate for answers at this point.

The hardest part? Being told over and over that “your labs look normal.” Meanwhile it’s affecting my job, my daily life, and my quality of life. Why do so many women have to fight to be taken seriously in healthcare?

The good news is I actually had another episode on Wednesday while wearing the monitor, so I’m really hoping it finally caught something.

Praying this round wasn’t for nothing and that I can finally get some real answers and a diagnosis soon. 💛 #holtermonitor #pots #potssyndrome #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth
