Packing for endometriosis surgery has me in full p Packing for endometriosis surgery has me in full prep mode… and I refuse to go in unprepared 😅👜

I put together this video sharing EVERYTHING I’m bringing to the hospital for my upcoming endometriosis excision surgery next week; from comfort essentials to must-haves for recovery. If you have a hysterectomy, laparoscopy, or any kind of abdominal surgery coming up, this list will seriously help you feel more ready 🙌

And if you’ve already gone through endo surgery, I need your advice 👇 what am I missing that made YOUR recovery easier?!

I’m trying to be as prepared (and comfortable) as possible for this healing journey 💛

I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surge I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surgery appointment at UNC 🤍

If I’m being honest… I woke up feeling really heavy today. Not because the appointment went badly, it actually went so well. The doctors were incredibly kind, compassionate, and for the first time, I truly felt seen, heard, and validated in my pain. I could’ve cried happy tears.

But after going over all my symptoms, they told me something that honestly shook me, but didn’t surprise me because this is what I feared all along. There’s a strong possibility my endometriosis has spread to my bowels.

And that’s where the emotions hit.

I’m angry.
Angry that I had to drive 3.5 hours just to receive proper care.
Angry that when I first brought up these symptoms, I was dismissed and told it was “rare.”
Angry that I lost months trying to find someone who would actually listen.
Angry that I wasn’t fully informed after my last surgery, that I didn’t even know endometriosis could spread to organs like the bladder… or beyond.

I had to fight for my own medical records.
I had to advocate for myself every step of the way.
And that shouldn’t be the reality for women’s healthcare.

So here’s where things stand: my surgery is scheduled for the 29th. During surgery, they’ll check my bowels. If the endometriosis is superficial, they can shave it off then. But if it’s deeper, I may need a second, more serious surgery with a colorectal specialist.

And yes… that possibility is scary. Because with that kind of surgery, you could end up with a colostomy bag which is my worst nightmare. 

But I’m also proud of myself for trusting my body and refusing to stay silent.

Endometriosis is not “just a bad period.”
It’s a full-body disease.
And more women need to know that.

I’m sharing this because I never want another woman to feel dismissed, unheard, or alone in this. Please listen to your body. Advocate for yourself. Keep pushing until someone listens.

Right now, I’m choosing faith over fear and trusting God that I’m in the right hands 🙏🏼 

Thank you all so much for your constant love, prayers, and support. It truly means everything to me! 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawareness

Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST wa Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST way to end a trip to Hilton Head Island 🌅🐚✨

Our last night in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina was unforgettable thanks to @nativesonadventures! We hopped on their sunset cruise and made a stop at the famous shell island to search for shark teeth (no luck this time 😅), but WOW… the shells were absolutely unreal. I’ve never seen so many beautiful ones in one place!

We also cruised past the rumored Luke Bryan Hilton Head house, and yes… it’s just as incredible as you’d imagine 👀🏡

This experience was the perfect send-off to our trip and honestly one of the best things to do in Hilton Head! If you’re planning a visit, add a sunset boat tour + shell island adventure to your itinerary ASAP 🙌

Yesterday we went on our very first sailboat with @islandheadsailing and it was seriously one of the most fun experiences we’ve had on the island! Even though it was freezing (I was fighting for my life on the way back 🥶🤣), the views of the water were absolutely unreal.

We booked their Hilton Head brunch sail, and it came with the cutest spread of brunch goodies to enjoy while cruising, 10/10 recommend. Between the ocean breeze, peaceful vibes, and stunning scenery, this is hands down a must-do in Hilton Head Island.

We ate here yesterday and I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be the best burrito I’ve ever had. I ordered the steak burrito (10/10), and don’t even get me started on the chips + queso… I could’ve eaten 5 baskets 🤣

Everything is super fresh, and you can fully customize your burrito, bowl, tacos, or quesadilla exactly how you want. PLUS they have a full coffee bar, so it’s also one of the best breakfast spots on Hilton Head too ☕️

Yes, there might be a wait… but trust me, it’s 100% worth it.

One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton Head Island is The Salty Dog Cafe 🌴🐾 It’s one of the most iconic waterfront restaurants on the island, and for good reason!

We biked over for lunch one day (highly recommend doing this if you’re exploring Hilton Head by bike 🚲), and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip. The seafood was incredible, I got the crab legs and they were SO good, but honestly the entire menu looked amazing 🤤

Between the stunning marina views, laid-back coastal vibes, and all the fun gift shops (yes, we grabbed way too much merch 😂), this spot is such a fun experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head or a must-try waterfront dining spot, add this to your list ASAP!

Afterward, we explored all the cute shops, waterfront restaurants, and watched the massive yachts roll in (honestly could do that all day 😍). If you’re a golf fan, you’ll love that RBC Heritage is right around the corner—we even caught them setting up for it!

We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton Head this past weekend, and I’m still thinking about it 🤤 It was our very first night on the island, and this spot completely set the tone for the trip!

The atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Coastal, cozy, and the perfect vibe for a special night out ✨

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰

If you’re planning a trip to Hilton Head Island or looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head, you have to add Benny’s to your list! #hiltonheadislandsc #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland #hiltonheadrestaurants #explorehiltonhead

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 🌿?!

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

So of course I had to share these edited cat pics with y’all because they’re too funny to keep to myself 😻

Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup

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

It’s been awhile since I shared one of my favorite easy dinner ideas with you all so I figured now would be the perfect time to share again! I absolutely LOVE Mad Dash Mixes and if you haven’t heard of them before, you are definitely missing out!

They make cooking dinner so easy and so simple! I love to keep my pantry stock full of these mixes. They are also super cheap and affordable and you can even use my code “Charity10” when you order and save 10% off your entire order! And if you want to know just how easy and simple it is, then keep on reading for the full recipe!

Mad Dash Mixes
So easy and so tasty!

So with just a handful of other ingredients besides the soup mix, you can create a tasty and delicious dinner with minimal cleanup and prep time.

Mad Dash Mixes basically does all the work for you so that you can throw together a quick weeknight meal and still feel like you just made a soup that has been simmering on the stove all day long!

But in reality it just took you five easy steps to prepare! And the best part is, they don’t just make soup mixes! They make dips, desserts, meat seasonings and so much more! You can see everything they offer here.

Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup
Here is what the packet of Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup looks like. Be sure to use code “Charity10” for 10% off!

Ingredients For Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup:

  • 1 package of Mad Dash Cheesy Enchilada Soup Mix
  • 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 4 cups whole milk (I just used 1% because that was all I had and it worked just fine for me!)
  • Canned or rotisserie chicken (I just cooked and shredded some chicken breasts I had on hand too)
  • 1 cup of Mexican blend shredded cheese
  • 1 15 oz can of corn (optional)
  • 1 15 oz can of black beans (optional)
  • Tortilla chips for topping (optional)
Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup Ingredients
This is literally all you need to make a tasty meal!

Directions:

  1. Combine your mix with 1 15 oz can of tomato sauce, 1 cup of cold water, 4 cups of whole milk, and chicken. Also, add in your corn and black beans here if you want to use them as well. I did, and I think it was a delicious touch and made the soup more filling!
  2. Bring the ingredients up to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Then, add 1 cup of Mexican Blend shredded cheese and stir until melted.
  5. Serve and enjoy!
Combine all Ingredients
Combine all the ingredients (except the cheese).
Bring up to a boil
Bring up to a boil and let simmer for 15 minutes.
Add in Mexican Blend shredded cheese
Add in the cheese.
Stir until cheese is melted
Stir until the cheese is melted.

You can also customize this soup with your favorite toppings as well. I added some crushed up tortilla chips and a little bit of extra cheese to mine and it was super delicious.

But, you could even add some avocado or sour cream if you like. I love how the mix is just your base and you can be as creative as you want to be when fixing this meal.

I really can’t say enough great things about Mad Dash Mixes so I highly recommend that you try them out if you are looking for quick and easy dinner ideas.

Plus, we got six servings out of this one very easy to prepare meal! You really can’t beat that.

If you want to read some of my other reviews from this company too, then check out my posts about the Cranberry Pasta Salad and the Tomato Basil Soup I made from them as well.

Here she is topped with cheesy goodness and tortilla chips- yum!

Packing for endometriosis surgery has me in full p Packing for endometriosis surgery has me in full prep mode… and I refuse to go in unprepared 😅👜

I put together this video sharing EVERYTHING I’m bringing to the hospital for my upcoming endometriosis excision surgery next week; from comfort essentials to must-haves for recovery. If you have a hysterectomy, laparoscopy, or any kind of abdominal surgery coming up, this list will seriously help you feel more ready 🙌

And if you’ve already gone through endo surgery, I need your advice 👇 what am I missing that made YOUR recovery easier?!

I’m trying to be as prepared (and comfortable) as possible for this healing journey 💛

Want my full hospital packing checklist for endometriosis surgery & recovery? Comment “ENDO” and I’ll send it your way! #endometriosis #surgery #surgeryprep #preop #endometriosissurgery
I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surge I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surgery appointment at UNC 🤍

If I’m being honest… I woke up feeling really heavy today. Not because the appointment went badly, it actually went so well. The doctors were incredibly kind, compassionate, and for the first time, I truly felt seen, heard, and validated in my pain. I could’ve cried happy tears.

But after going over all my symptoms, they told me something that honestly shook me, but didn’t surprise me because this is what I feared all along. There’s a strong possibility my endometriosis has spread to my bowels.

And that’s where the emotions hit.

I’m angry.
Angry that I had to drive 3.5 hours just to receive proper care.
Angry that when I first brought up these symptoms, I was dismissed and told it was “rare.”
Angry that I lost months trying to find someone who would actually listen.
Angry that I wasn’t fully informed after my last surgery, that I didn’t even know endometriosis could spread to organs like the bladder… or beyond.

I had to fight for my own medical records.
I had to advocate for myself every step of the way.
And that shouldn’t be the reality for women’s healthcare.

So here’s where things stand: my surgery is scheduled for the 29th. During surgery, they’ll check my bowels. If the endometriosis is superficial, they can shave it off then. But if it’s deeper, I may need a second, more serious surgery with a colorectal specialist.

And yes… that possibility is scary. Because with that kind of surgery, you could end up with a colostomy bag which is my worst nightmare. 

But I’m also proud of myself for trusting my body and refusing to stay silent.

Endometriosis is not “just a bad period.”
It’s a full-body disease.
And more women need to know that.

I’m sharing this because I never want another woman to feel dismissed, unheard, or alone in this. Please listen to your body. Advocate for yourself. Keep pushing until someone listens.

Right now, I’m choosing faith over fear and trusting God that I’m in the right hands 🙏🏼 

Thank you all so much for your constant love, prayers, and support. It truly means everything to me! 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawareness

Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST wa Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST way to end a trip to Hilton Head Island 🌅🐚✨

Our last night in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina was unforgettable thanks to @nativesonadventures! We hopped on their sunset cruise and made a stop at the famous shell island to search for shark teeth (no luck this time 😅), but WOW… the shells were absolutely unreal. I’ve never seen so many beautiful ones in one place!

We also cruised past the rumored Luke Bryan Hilton Head house, and yes… it’s just as incredible as you’d imagine 👀🏡

This experience was the perfect send-off to our trip and honestly one of the best things to do in Hilton Head! If you’re planning a visit, add a sunset boat tour + shell island adventure to your itinerary ASAP 🙌

POV: you just found the best thing to do in Hilton POV: you just found the best thing to do in Hilton Head Island ⛵️✨

Yesterday we went on our very first sailboat with @islandheadsailing and it was seriously one of the most fun experiences we’ve had on the island! Even though it was freezing (I was fighting for my life on the way back 🥶🤣), the views of the water were absolutely unreal.

We booked their Hilton Head brunch sail, and it came with the cutest spread of brunch goodies to enjoy while cruising, 10/10 recommend. Between the ocean breeze, peaceful vibes, and stunning scenery, this is hands down a must-do in Hilton Head Island.

If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Hea If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Head Island, RUN to Java Burrito Company 🌯🔥

We ate here yesterday and I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be the best burrito I’ve ever had. I ordered the steak burrito (10/10), and don’t even get me started on the chips + queso… I could’ve eaten 5 baskets 🤣

Everything is super fresh, and you can fully customize your burrito, bowl, tacos, or quesadilla exactly how you want. PLUS they have a full coffee bar, so it’s also one of the best breakfast spots on Hilton Head too ☕️

Yes, there might be a wait… but trust me, it’s 100% worth it.

Save this for your next Hilton Head trip 👇 #hiltonheadfood #hiltonheadfoodie #hiltonheadeats #javaburrito #hiltonhead
One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton Head Island is The Salty Dog Cafe 🌴🐾 It’s one of the most iconic waterfront restaurants on the island, and for good reason!

We biked over for lunch one day (highly recommend doing this if you’re exploring Hilton Head by bike 🚲), and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip. The seafood was incredible, I got the crab legs and they were SO good, but honestly the entire menu looked amazing 🤤

Between the stunning marina views, laid-back coastal vibes, and all the fun gift shops (yes, we grabbed way too much merch 😂), this spot is such a fun experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head or a must-try waterfront dining spot, add this to your list ASAP!

Afterward, we explored all the cute shops, waterfront restaurants, and watched the massive yachts roll in (honestly could do that all day 😍). If you’re a golf fan, you’ll love that RBC Heritage is right around the corner—we even caught them setting up for it!

We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton Head this past weekend, and I’m still thinking about it 🤤 It was our very first night on the island, and this spot completely set the tone for the trip!

The atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Coastal, cozy, and the perfect vibe for a special night out ✨

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰

We squeezed in a spontaneous trip after an epic night at an Eric Church concert and before heading to Hilton Head Island… and honestly, it was SO worth it.

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

And of course, little Miss Riley had to supervise (aka approve) the final result 🐱💚
