If you’re looking for the best restaurants in Myrt If you’re looking for the best restaurants in Myrtle Beach (aka Dirty Myrtle 🤣🌴), I’ve got you covered! One thing you absolutely have to do while you’re here is eat all the fresh seafood… and yes, I may or may not have ordered Chilean sea bass THREE times this week because it was just that good. 😂🐟

Our #1 favorite restaurant in North Myrtle Beach is @theoysterrock. We loved it so much we went back twice during this trip! If you’re craving fresh seafood, amazing waterfront views, and one of the best meals at the beach, this place is a must.

For a more casual beachfront dinner, @bummzbeachcafe is another one of our go-to spots. Great food, ocean views, and the perfect laid-back beach vibes.

If you’re planning a Myrtle Beach vacation and wondering where to eat in Myrtle Beach, I’ve put together my full list of favorite restaurants and hidden gems!

I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️
Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’ Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’-lanterns everyone wanted a few Halloweens ago? 🎃 I couldn’t justify the price, so I made my own… and they’ve been my favorite DIY Halloween decorations ever since!

Mostly because I can’t wait to see my little fur babies! 🐈💕 I’m counting down the minutes until I can cuddle them on the couch and unwind after an amazing week away.

Vacations are wonderful, but there’s just something special about walking back through your own front door. 🏡✨

Fall is hands-down my favorite season, and I am so ready for all the cozy fall vibes.

I also find it trapped under beds, cabinets, and furniture more often than I find it actually cleaning the house. At this point, I spend more time searching for my robot vacuum than I would if I just grabbed the regular vacuum myself. 😂

I know robot vacuums are supposed to make cleaning easier, but sometimes they create their own little adventures instead. Please tell me I’m not the only one! Does your robot vacuum have a mind of its own too, or is mine just extra dramatic? 🤣

I know I’m probably rushing the seasons a little, but if you’re a fellow cozy season lover, you get it. 😂

Fall Dessert Charcuterie Board

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I know y’all have seen dessert charcuterie boards floating all around Pinterest, so I thought I would try to make one myself and give it a go. And I figured why not make it a fall dessert charcuterie board to be even more extra?? This would be so perfect for a Halloween party or just a fun night in with the family.

And the best part is, you can make this in just a matter of minutes and it is a completely no-bake fall dessert idea! So if you’re running short on time, this would be ideal to make.

Just buy some of your favorite fall goodies and/or candies and you’ve got yourself a beautiful, easy fall dessert charcuterie board in minutes!

Dessert Charcuterie Boards
Look how yummy and festive it is!

Materials Needed for Fall Dessert Charcuterie Board:

You can really use whatever you want to, but I will list of what I used here to give you some ideas and a head start!

Charcuterie Board
I love this Charcuterie board I got from The Nested Fig. I use it all the time for desserts, just like for my Fresh Apple Walnut Cake I made a few weeks ago.
  • Charcuterie Board (I got mine from The Nested Fig and you can use my code “Charity10” to get 10% off this and anything else from their amazing shop!)
  • Small Bowls
  • Candy Corn
  • Candy Pumpkins
  • Halloween Oreo’s
  • Frosted Fall Sugar Cookies
  • Hershey’s Cookies and Cream Fang Bars
  • Reese’s Pumpkins
  • Chocolate Covered Pretzels
  • Sweet and Salty Popcorn Mix

Basically, just browse around the fall/Halloween section at your local grocery store and pick up a few desserts you like best. How easy is that?!

Ingredients Needed for Dessert Charcuterie Boards
All the ingredients you need to get started!

You know I love to bake, but sometimes I want something sweet without all the effort. So this easy, no-bake fall dessert charcuterie board is right up my alley. Plus, it is extremely festive and we all know I am a little over the top when it comes to holidays!

Styling the Dessert Charcuterie Board

Now, this is the fun part! Styling the dessert charcuterie board! I didn’t really have a game plan here, you can kind of just dump everything on there and rearrange it.

Chocolate and Candy Charcuterie Boards

No need to stress out, once you place everything on the board, it kind of just flows together naturally. I started by stacking the Halloween Oreos in the back of the board. Then, I added a bowl of the sweet and salty popcorn mix.

Cookie Charcuterie Board
Halloween Oreos add the perfect festive touch!

You don’t have to add bowls, you can simply just throw everything out on the board, but I like to kind of break it up. This gives the charcuterie board more defined sections that way. But again, it would totally be up to you and how you want to style it.

Close Up of Cookies
Love me some frosted sugar cookies!

Then, I stacked the frosted sugar cookies next and added a big pile of the chocolate covered pretzels in the middle. I also had small bowls for the candy corn and candy pumpkins to place on the side.

Close Up of Pretzels
All the pretzels in the middle of the board!

Finishing up, I opened a few Reese’s Pumpkins and the Hershey’s Cookies and Cream Fang bars. If you look closely at them, you can see they have teeth on them! Very appropriate for the Halloween/Fall theme we have going on here!

Chocolate Charcuterie Boards

I didn’t like how there were some clearly visible separation lines between all the desserts though when I was done. And since I had some extra candy corn and pumpkins leftover, I decided to pour them all around those empty areas to fill it up.

Not only did it do the job, but it made it even more festive too!

Finished Dessert Charcuterie Boards

How do you think it turned out?! I think it’s super cute and I absolutely love that it is a no-bake dessert option.

And any kid would absolutely go crazy over this I think as well. It would also be a perfect way to use up any leftover Halloween candy and/or treats they may have too!

One thing you absolutely have to do while you’re here is eat all the fresh seafood… and yes, I may or may not have ordered Chilean sea bass THREE times this week because it was just that good. 😂🐟

Our #1 favorite restaurant in North Myrtle Beach is @theoysterrock. We loved it so much we went back twice during this trip! If you’re craving fresh seafood, amazing waterfront views, and one of the best meals at the beach, this place is a must.

For a more casual beachfront dinner, @bummzbeachcafe is another one of our go-to spots. Great food, ocean views, and the perfect laid-back beach vibes.

If you’re planning a Myrtle Beach vacation and wondering where to eat in Myrtle Beach, I’ve put together my full list of favorite restaurants and hidden gems!

I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️
Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’ Remember those viral Pottery Barn-inspired jack-o’-lanterns everyone wanted a few Halloweens ago? 🎃 I couldn’t justify the price, so I made my own… and they’ve been my favorite DIY Halloween decorations ever since!

Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of an Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of any beach vacation. As much as I’ve loved every minute of soaking up the sun, watching the waves, and making memories, I’m officially ready to head home.

Mostly because I can’t wait to see my little fur babies! 🐈💕 I’m counting down the minutes until I can cuddle them on the couch and unwind after an amazing week away.

Vacations are wonderful, but there’s just something special about walking back through your own front door. 🏡✨

So tell me… are you the type who wishes vacation could last forever, or do you always end up a little homesick and ready to get back home?

There’s just something about the warm glow of cand There’s just something about the warm glow of candlelight, a cool autumn breeze, and relaxing on the porch with a mug of hot apple cider that makes my heart so happy. Fall is hands-down my favorite season, and I am so ready for all the cozy fall vibes.

This summer has been so hot, humid, and rainy that it feels like every weekend gets rained out. 😂 So if anyone’s ready for crisp air, sweaters, fall porch decor, pumpkin candles, and peaceful evenings outside… it’s me!

Who’s already counting down the days until autumn arrives? 🍁 Tell me your favorite thing about fall in the comments! 👇🏻

Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting l Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting lost or dying in the most random places? 😂 Mine literally only had to move TWO more feet to reach its charging dock, but instead it just gave up. Like… buddy, you were so close! 🤣

I also find it trapped under beds, cabinets, and furniture more often than I find it actually cleaning the house. At this point, I spend more time searching for my robot vacuum than I would if I just grabbed the regular vacuum myself. 😂

I know robot vacuums are supposed to make cleaning easier, but sometimes they create their own little adventures instead. Please tell me I’m not the only one! Does your robot vacuum have a mind of its own too, or is mine just extra dramatic? 🤣
