Alright y’all, I’ve officially checked in at UNC a Alright y’all, I’ve officially checked in at UNC and I’m just waiting to be called back! They even moved up my arrival time (bless 🙌🏻), but I’ve still got a couple hours to sit here and let the nerves + hanger kick in. And also how sexy does this surgical cap look on me?! 😆

After a brutal pain flare last night, I am MORE than ready to kick endometriosis’ ass today and finally get some relief 🙏 Time to evict everything that’s been causing all this chaos 😜

So help a girl out: drop your favorite distractions, funny stories, or literally anything to pass the time while I wait! Let’s do this!🫶 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosissurgery #chronicillnesswarrior #excisionsurgery
Final meal, last hot bath, last hot tub soak, and Final meal, last hot bath, last hot tub soak, and ALL the feels before surgery tomorrow 🥹✨

Just soaking in every little moment today before my endometriosis surgery tomorrow. Started the morning with a cozy breakfast + cappuccino date with my sweet mama at @yellowmugcoffeelounge - aka my last meal before surgery 👀

I’m usually not a big breakfast girl, but you already know I made it count 😂 because pre-surgery rules = no food after 9 am this morning. Then I got the call that my arrival time moved up from 3:30 PM to 2:00 PM 🙌🏻 and honestly… I’ll take that win. The sooner it starts, the sooner recovery begins.

Today is all about the little things I won’t be able to do for a few weeks; long, scalding hot baths, hot tub soaks, and just slowing down. If you know me, you know hot baths are my daily therapy, so not having them for 4 weeks might be the real challenge 😅

But surprisingly, I feel really calm and at peace heading into this. Just ready to get through surgery and start healing 💛 And I feel all the prayers coming through, so thank you guys so much for all your support and love!

If you’ve had endometriosis surgery, hysterectomy, or any abdominal surgery, drop your recovery tips below. I’m all ears 🙏🏼 #daybeforesurgery #endometriosis #endometriosissurgery #surgeryprep #abdominalsurgery

Instagram turned my last surgery prep video into A Instagram turned my last surgery prep video into Alvin & the Chipmunks 😭🤣

So if you saw my endometriosis surgery packing reel sounding like I inhaled helium all day… no you didn’t 😂 I have NO idea what happened, but we’re rolling with it lol.

Since that was a fail, I put together a hospital bag essentials carousel for endometriosis surgery / laparoscopy / hysterectomy prep so you can actually hear (and see) everything clearly this time 🙃

If you have endometriosis excision surgery or any kind of abdominal surgery coming up, this is everything I’m bringing to stay comfortable, prepared, and (hopefully) make recovery a little easier 🤍

We do have a 3.5 hour drive home after surgery, which honestly makes me a little nervous 😅 so I’m trying to be extra prepared this time around.

If you’ve had endometriosis surgery before, what am I missing?!
What helped you the MOST during recovery?
Any must-have items for a long car ride home post-op?

I’m so ready to finally get this done and hopefully get some relief from endo pain 🙌🏻 counting down the days!! And if you have a surgery like this coming up too and want my list of essentials sent your way, just comment “endo” below and I’ll send them straight to you! 😉 #minimallyinvasivesurgery #surgeryessentials #surgeryprep #endometriosissurgery #endometriosisexcision
POV: You realize you have to remove your dip nails POV: You realize you have to remove your dip nails AND fast for 32+ hours before surgery 😅

I was honestly so sad taking off my dip powder nails for my upcoming endometriosis surgery next week. My natural nails have grown SO well with dip, but the second it comes off, they go right back to being super thin and fragile… and yep, one already broke 😭

But let’s be real… that’s not even the hardest part of surgery prep. I can’t eat anything after 9:00 AM the day before, and my surgery isn’t until late the NEXT day (arrival at 3:30 PM 😅). So we’re talking about a full 30+ hour fast before surgery… and I already know I’m about to be HANGRY 🫠

If you’ve had endometriosis surgery, hysterectomy, or any major surgery, tell me, how did you survive the fasting?! Drop your tips below because I need them 🙏

Just Trying to stay calm, trust God, and remind myself this is one step closer to answers + healing 💛

Flower Lovin’ Friends! Spring gardening is offici Flower Lovin’ Friends! 
Spring gardening is officially underway 🌸 and this past weekend turned into the best little dose of gardening therapy I didn’t know I needed 💚 With everything going on lately, getting outside, planting flowers, and soaking up that sunshine was exactly what my mind needed.

We may have gotten a little too confident with those 85° temps though… because just days later, the cold snap hit hard 🙄 (tell me why spring weather is like this??). But somehow, my flowers are still thriving 🌼✨

My garden seedlings on the other hand… not so much 🥲 BUT my sweet peppers are holding on strong and currently the real MVPs of the garden 🌱👏

Gardening is definitely a learning process, especially with unpredictable spring weather, but I’m not giving up, just replanting and trying again (and maybe checking the forecast a little better next time 😂)

If you’re starting your spring garden, let this be your reminder: be patient, expect a few setbacks, and celebrate the little wins 🌿💛

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 🤤🍰

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 🌿?!

Easy Coffee Table Centerpiece

I always like to have an easy and simple coffee table centerpiece that goes along with the current season at hand. I had a winter related one on my coffee table most recently (you can see it back on my winter home decor post).

But I was just ready for a change. I wanted something more fresh and with more greenery to liven the space up. And after strolling through Target, and spotting some of the new releases of the Hearth and Hand with Magnolia collection.

I knew just what I needed to do!

Easy Coffee Table Centerpiece

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

Antique Tool Caddy

One of my favorite antique finds is this antique tool caddy I keep sitting on my coffee table. I love it because not only are the wood tones amazing, but you can easily switch it out from season to season.

It has a total of 6 cubby holes in it, 3 on each side. So I always like to place something in there to create a cool and unique statement piece.

Antique Tool Caddy
Here is the tool caddy with nothing in it. I’m also linking a similar tool caddy below that you can order online if you can’t find one at an antique shop near you:

You’ve seen me style this piece before to create an easy and simple fall centerpiece. I usually like to place a few glass pieces inside of it. And then add in some greenery or floral options as well.

But, after I saw these cute potted plants at Target, I figured they would be the perfect neutral option to place in there.

I wanted to create something that I could leave out for a long time. Nothing seasonal related that I would have to replace in a few weeks. So no Valentine’s Day decor here!

Adding in Risers to the Tool Caddy

Only problem after I got the faux potted plants, was that they were kinda too short in the caddy.

You couldn’t really see their cute pots and only the tips of the greenery were sticking out. So I needed to find some risers to give them some height.

Materials Needed to create coffee table centerpiece
All the materials needed to come up with this easy coffee table centerpiece!

Although, I didn’t want to have to pay for a total of 6 different risers for the coffee table centerpiece.

I mean, that could get kinda pricey quickly. So I decided to look around my home and see what I had that would work.

And I found something! You know I have an abundance of Antique Candle Co. candles in my home. Mainly because I am obsessed with having my home smell good. And these candles are the best. But also, their candle lids make the perfect riser!

Candle lids in antique tool caddy
Candle lids make the perfect and free riser! Also, linking my rug below because it is a beautiful, neutral option for a living room in case you are looking for a good one too!

The best part is, it totally didn’t cost me anything. I just took the lids off of candles I wasn’t using, or weren’t burning and placed them inside each cubby hole.

Adding the Faux Plants to the Coffee Table Centerpiece

Once the risers were all in place, I just added the plants on top! I got a total of 3 faux azaleas and 3 faux bean potted plants. And then I just alternated them around in each cubby hole.

I didn’t want to get all 6 of the same plant because I wanted to create visual interest with a couple of different ones.

And that’s it! How easy and simple is that?! The perfect coffee table centerpiece that literally took me only a few minutes to create!

Do you like having a centerpiece on your coffee tables too? If so, what do you like to place there as a centerpiece? I would love to know!

    Great idea! I’ve got a small basket and a few plants from Target already! I’ll put them together for a pick-me-up centerpiece. Thanks.

    Oooh I love this centerpiece. I haven’t been particularly creative with centerpieces because my husband usually eats at the coffee table so it gets super messy. Right now there’s just a book and a candle haha. I’d love to elevate it to something like this!

    The tool caddy is a nice and innovative touch! I would have never thought of turning that into a centerpiece. I’ve always loved the simplistic look of plants in the home. Makes it feel very welcoming and it’s perfect for this season as we approach spring. Thank you for sharing!

Alright y’all, I’ve officially checked in at UNC a Alright y’all, I’ve officially checked in at UNC and I’m just waiting to be called back! They even moved up my arrival time (bless 🙌🏻), but I’ve still got a couple hours to sit here and let the nerves + hanger kick in. And also how sexy does this surgical cap look on me?! 😆

After a brutal pain flare last night, I am MORE than ready to kick endometriosis’ ass today and finally get some relief 🙏 Time to evict everything that’s been causing all this chaos 😜

So help a girl out: drop your favorite distractions, funny stories, or literally anything to pass the time while I wait! Let’s do this!🫶 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosissurgery #chronicillnesswarrior #excisionsurgery
Final meal, last hot bath, last hot tub soak, and Final meal, last hot bath, last hot tub soak, and ALL the feels before surgery tomorrow 🥹✨

Just soaking in every little moment today before my endometriosis surgery tomorrow. Started the morning with a cozy breakfast + cappuccino date with my sweet mama at @yellowmugcoffeelounge - aka my last meal before surgery 👀

I’m usually not a big breakfast girl, but you already know I made it count 😂 because pre-surgery rules = no food after 9 am this morning. Then I got the call that my arrival time moved up from 3:30 PM to 2:00 PM 🙌🏻 and honestly… I’ll take that win. The sooner it starts, the sooner recovery begins.

Today is all about the little things I won’t be able to do for a few weeks; long, scalding hot baths, hot tub soaks, and just slowing down. If you know me, you know hot baths are my daily therapy, so not having them for 4 weeks might be the real challenge 😅

But surprisingly, I feel really calm and at peace heading into this. Just ready to get through surgery and start healing 💛 And I feel all the prayers coming through, so thank you guys so much for all your support and love!

If you’ve had endometriosis surgery, hysterectomy, or any abdominal surgery, drop your recovery tips below. I’m all ears 🙏🏼 #daybeforesurgery #endometriosis #endometriosissurgery #surgeryprep #abdominalsurgery

Instagram turned my last surgery prep video into A Instagram turned my last surgery prep video into Alvin & the Chipmunks 😭🤣

So if you saw my endometriosis surgery packing reel sounding like I inhaled helium all day… no you didn’t 😂 I have NO idea what happened, but we’re rolling with it lol.

Since that was a fail, I put together a hospital bag essentials carousel for endometriosis surgery / laparoscopy / hysterectomy prep so you can actually hear (and see) everything clearly this time 🙃

If you have endometriosis excision surgery or any kind of abdominal surgery coming up, this is everything I’m bringing to stay comfortable, prepared, and (hopefully) make recovery a little easier 🤍

We do have a 3.5 hour drive home after surgery, which honestly makes me a little nervous 😅 so I’m trying to be extra prepared this time around.

If you’ve had endometriosis surgery before, what am I missing?!
What helped you the MOST during recovery?
Any must-have items for a long car ride home post-op?

I’m so ready to finally get this done and hopefully get some relief from endo pain 🙌🏻 counting down the days!! And if you have a surgery like this coming up too and want my list of essentials sent your way, just comment “endo” below and I’ll send them straight to you! 😉 #minimallyinvasivesurgery #surgeryessentials #surgeryprep #endometriosissurgery #endometriosisexcision
POV: You realize you have to remove your dip nails POV: You realize you have to remove your dip nails AND fast for 32+ hours before surgery 😅

I was honestly so sad taking off my dip powder nails for my upcoming endometriosis surgery next week. My natural nails have grown SO well with dip, but the second it comes off, they go right back to being super thin and fragile… and yep, one already broke 😭

But let’s be real… that’s not even the hardest part of surgery prep. I can’t eat anything after 9:00 AM the day before, and my surgery isn’t until late the NEXT day (arrival at 3:30 PM 😅). So we’re talking about a full 30+ hour fast before surgery… and I already know I’m about to be HANGRY 🫠

If you’ve had endometriosis surgery, hysterectomy, or any major surgery, tell me, how did you survive the fasting?! Drop your tips below because I need them 🙏

Just Trying to stay calm, trust God, and remind myself this is one step closer to answers + healing 💛

Flower Lovin’ Friends! Spring gardening is offici Flower Lovin’ Friends! 
Spring gardening is officially underway 🌸 and this past weekend turned into the best little dose of gardening therapy I didn’t know I needed 💚 With everything going on lately, getting outside, planting flowers, and soaking up that sunshine was exactly what my mind needed.

We may have gotten a little too confident with those 85° temps though… because just days later, the cold snap hit hard 🙄 (tell me why spring weather is like this??). But somehow, my flowers are still thriving 🌼✨

My garden seedlings on the other hand… not so much 🥲 BUT my sweet peppers are holding on strong and currently the real MVPs of the garden 🌱👏

Gardening is definitely a learning process, especially with unpredictable spring weather, but I’m not giving up, just replanting and trying again (and maybe checking the forecast a little better next time 😂)

If you’re starting your spring garden, let this be your reminder: be patient, expect a few setbacks, and celebrate the little wins 🌿💛

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.

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 🤤🍰

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 🌿?!
