Christmas is creeping up FAST, and I want y’all to Christmas is creeping up FAST, and I want y’all to be prepared! And maybe you’re not crazy like me and have multiple Christmas trees throughout your house 🤣 but if you do… you NEED these smart plugs for your Christmas tree lights!

These are seriously one of my favorite Christmas decorating hacks because I can turn all my Christmas trees on and off right from my phone with the tap of a button. 🙌🏼

Even better, you can set your smart plugs on a schedule so your Christmas lights automatically turn on and off at certain times every day! No crawling behind the tree, reaching around presents, or trying to find that one impossible-to-reach plug. 😂🎄

If you love decorating your home for Christmas, this is one holiday must-have that makes the entire season SO much easier!

Are you a one Christmas tree household… or are you crazy like me and have multiple?! 🤣🎄

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?! 🤣👇🏻

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?! 👇🏻

Easy Fall Centerpiece

It’s not too early to start planning for fall decor right?! I hope not, because I have already started! I just can’t help myself. I love fall decor so much and it is my favorite season- next to Christmas of course. So today I am going to share with you all this easy fall centerpiece idea.

I have mine placed on my coffee table in my living room, but you could easily do this for your dining room table or entryway table too. The possibilities are endless with this centerpiece!

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

Easy Fall Centerpiece
I love the color combo to this centerpiece! Also, if you like my rug below, it’s from Boutique Rugs and I shared more about it in my blog post on How to Choose the Right Rug for Your Home!

Materials Needed For Fall Centerpiece:

  • Wooden tray with slots in it (mine is an antique tray and it has six big slots in it, but any kind of tray like that will do)
  • Amber bottles/jars (enough to fill up each slot in your tray)
  • Faux florals (as many as you want to fill your tray. I only did 3 stems instead of all 6, but that’s totally up to you to decide!)
Antique Wooden Tray
Here is how I styled the tray before. I kept it simple for spring/summer with just a few faux terra cotta pots.

Where to Find Materials Needed For the Fall Centerpiece

You may be wondering where you can find all these materials that I have mentioned above. I got lucky and found this beautiful antique wooden tray from a local antique store here in our area.

I constantly leave it on our coffee table and just change out the decor inside from season to season so it was a really great buy for me since I can get so much use out of it.

Close up view of tray for centerpiece
Here you can see all six slots on the tray.

I got the assortment of amber bottles from the dollar spot last year and they were pretty cheap! Only $3 a piece if I remember correctly.

I’m not sure if they will be restocked this year or not, but if not you can always check out your local thrift stores for them. I actually found a few antique amber jars at a flea market down in Tennessee this year and they were all super cheap as well.

Just be sure to shop around your local thrift shops, flea markets, and antique malls to see what you can find!

Wooden Tray for Fall Centerpiece
Another view of the empty tray before I got started styling my easy fall centerpiece.

And the beautiful faux florals stems I found at Kirkland’s last year as well. I only got three stems instead of six total because I thought six would be too much in my tray and it would kinda be distracting when you were watching tv on the couch or something.

But if you found smaller florals/stems, you could definitely put them in all of your amber jars as well. It’s totally up to you and how you want to style it! I am just here to give you a little inspiration!

How to Style The Centerpiece

Now that you have all your materials together, you can arrange your centerpiece anyway you want. I had three taller amber jars and three shorter amber jars total.

So I alternated a tall one and then a short one in each slot to mix up the heights. Then, I placed the faux florals in each tall amber jar.

Materials Needed for Easy Fall Centerpiece
Here is everything you need to get started on your centerpiece.

I have one faux stem on one side of the tray and two stems on the other side.

I think the grouping of three stems is pleasing to the eye. If you’ve been around for any of my styling posts, then you know I always recommend to group things in threes or odd numbers.

I talked about this in my post on How to Style an Entryway Table as well.

Fall Centerpiece in Living Room
I just love how it turned out!

Conclusion

This was such a simple and easy way to style a fall centerpiece. I was instantly drawn to the amber bottles when I first saw them and I knew I wanted to do something special with them for fall decor.

I am so happy with how it turned out and I think it is just the perfect touch! What do you y’all think? Let me know below!

Easy Fall Centerpiece
Pin for later!

    Those are the perfect colors for Fall decorating! I love how the soft look of the tray contrasts with the smooth, shiny glass. The dried flowers tie it all together. You have a real talent!

    What a creative idea. Definitely a centerpiece I haven’t seen before, which I love. I wish I could start decorating for autumn, but we’re looking into moving before November, so I don’t want to fish all my decor out of boxes, only to put them right back in again to pack up! I’ll live vicariously through your autumnal decor posts!

      Oh I totally understand. We moved into our house during the Fall season about two years ago so I really missed being able to decorate then too.

    Not sure that I’m ready for fall, but that centerpiece will help to ease into the next season. Thanks for the great idea!

    This is a great idea! I will have to make a smaller version as my table is much more smaller, but I seriously can’t wait to bring out all my fall decor! x

Christmas is creeping up FAST, and I want y’all to Christmas is creeping up FAST, and I want y’all to be prepared! And maybe you’re not crazy like me and have multiple Christmas trees throughout your house 🤣 but if you do… you NEED these smart plugs for your Christmas tree lights!

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! ❤️

💬 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?! 👇🏻
