POV: you finally found a board game you’re guarant POV: you finally found a board game you’re guaranteed to win. 🤣🧀🍇

I LOVE board games… especially when people put meat and cheese on them. Maybe some fruit, crackers, and a few other snacks too. Now THAT is a game I’m really good at. 😂👏🏻

Okay, I’ll be honest, I’m actually not a huge board game person. But I AM extremely competitive, which means I only enjoy playing if there’s a decent chance I’m going to win. 😜 And if I’m not good at the game? Suddenly I’m no longer interested. 😂

But give me a charcuterie board filled with cheese, meats, crackers, fruit, and all the yummy snacks, and I’ll happily play all night long. 🙌🏻

Plus, an easy charcuterie board is one of my favorite entertaining ideas for fall get-togethers, game nights, girls’ nights, and holiday parties. It looks impressive, requires basically no cooking, and everyone can grab exactly what they want!

So tell me… are you a REAL board game person 🎲 or are you more of a charcuterie “board game” person like me?! 🧀🤣

Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers for doctor notes, lab results, treatments, medications, scans, surgeries, symptoms, and medical records at just 33 years old… but here we are. 😂

After months of appointments and still feeling like no one can put all the puzzle pieces together, I’ve officially decided I’m becoming that patient. You know, the one who walks into every appointment carrying a giant medical binder, receipts in hand, ready to advocate for herself and get some ANSWERS. 😂👏🏻

Because if navigating chronic illness has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you have to become your own medical historian and your own biggest advocate.

There is a little bit of good news though! 🙌🏻 I was able to get an appointment with Duke’s Electrophysiology Clinic to hopefully get more help with my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and figure out a better treatment plan. The downside? My appointment isn’t until October 30th. 🙃 So once again… we wait.

I’m really hoping that by the end of this year, I’ll finally have more answers, a treatment plan that actually helps, and a clear path forward. 🤞🏻

Until then, catch me organizing my medical records like they’re a high school research project. 😂📑

Anyone else with chronic illness have a giant medical binder too?! Because I have a feeling I’m definitely not the only one. 👇🏻

🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR 🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR TREE!

I found these adorable stackable pumpkins at Dollar Tree for only $5 each, and of course I immediately started thinking about how I could give them a little high-end fall makeover! 🍂

I started with a coat of black spray paint, then went over them with a metallic bronze spray paint to add the prettiest subtle shimmer. ✨ I finished them off with a cute little bow on top, and just like that—a simple Dollar Tree find looks like expensive fall porch decor! 🙌🏻

My porch definitely isn’t fully decorated for fall yet, but I think these DIY Dollar Tree pumpkins are a pretty cute start, don’t you?! 😍

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree find and transforming it into something that looks way more high-end! And this one was SO easy to do. 🎃

Would you try this Dollar Tree fall decor DIY?! 🍁

Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween? 🎃👻

Apparently Little Miss Riley is NOT a fan of her new Halloween cat sweater… and she made that very clear. 😹 I, on the other hand, think she looks absolutely adorable in her tiny spooky outfit!

Honestly, I’m shocked we even got the sweater on her. She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈

It may officially be September, but apparently the weather didn’t get the memo. 🤣 That’s okay though because I REFUSE to light anything but a fall scented candle from now on!

And the Fall Day candle from @ellerydesigns x @antiquecandleco is basically autumn in a jar. 🍁 It’s the perfect cozy fall scent to make your whole home smell like fall, even when it still feels like the middle of summer outside. 😂

Because if I can’t have crisp fall mornings and sweater weather yet, I can at least have a cozy home that SMELLS like fall, right?! 🍂☕️🕯️

If you’re looking for the best fall candles to kick off September and make your home feel extra cozy, definitely add this one to your list!

Comment “Candle” below and I’ll send you the link! And be sure to use code the code MACEDONIA20 for 20% off!

Are you already burning fall candles too, or are you waiting for the weather to cool down?! 👇🏻

When I spotted these adorable glass pumpkin jars in the Target Dollar Spot, I immediately knew I wanted to give one a little high-end fall makeover! And y’all… I’m OBSESSED with how this turned out. 😍

I grabbed some ColorShot spray paint in Metallic Bronze and gave the entire glass pumpkin jar a few coats, and that was literally it! Such an easy DIY fall decor project, but it completely transformed this $3 Target find.

Tell me this doesn’t look like something you’d find at Pottery Barn for WAY more?! 🙌🏼 I love finding inexpensive fall decor and turning it into something that looks high-end without the high-end price tag. Plus, you could customize this DIY pumpkin jar with any color to match your fall decor!

Now I just need to figure out what to put inside it… 🤔 Any ideas?!

I always love making a cute Halloween boo basket, and since we don’t have kids, obviously my cats are getting one instead! 😂🧡

I filled their cat boo basket to the brim with all their favorite treats, Halloween-themed cat toys, and even a few costumes because what’s a boo basket without some embarrassing Halloween outfits?! 👻🤣

Now, they may not appreciate the costumes… but I KNOW they’re going to love the treats and toys! 😹🐾

So take this as your sign to make a Halloween boo basket for your cat this year! It’s such a fun way to spoil your feline friend and get them in the spooky spirit. 🎃🧡

Would your cat love a boo basket or absolutely HATE the costumes? 😂

How I am Celebrating After Hitting 10K on Instagram

Y’all, I cannot believe it! I finally hit over 10K on Instagram a few weeks ago and I could not be more excited! If you remember, I shared in my 2019 Year in Review post, that I was hoping to hit 10K by the end of February and I am so happy that I accomplished my goal before then!

I know it’s not all about the numbers, but it feels so good when you reach a goal you have been waiting for after a long time of aiming towards it! So today I thought I would share with you all how I am celebrating after hitting 10K on Instagram.

I was most excited to hit 10K because now in my Instagram stories, I am able to use the swipe up feature which I think will help my blog views tremendously. It’s so much easier to share a new post when you can link it directly!

So you may be asking how exactly am I celebrating after hitting such a milestone? Well, the answer is simple, I am celebrating by giving back to you- my wonderful subscribers and followers!

I have teamed up with some of my favorite small shops and we are all working together to bring you an ultimate giveaway full of goodies. And I have worked with all these shops in the past so I know their quality of products are amazing.

I would not want to give away anything less to y’all! So you may be wondering how can I be entered into winning this so called amazing giveaway?? Keep on reading because I will give you all the details below. But you better hurry because it is only open for a short period of time!!

  • Shop credit to Hidden Valley Farmhouse for one FREE handmade felt garland of your choice (I was a brand rep for her last year and received so many beautiful garlands. They are perfect for styling anywhere in your home!)
  • Starbucks gift card from yours truly!

      Awe you will get there too! It just takes time. My tips are to always engage and figure out the best hashtags to use for your niche. Use some large and small hashtags that way your picture has a higher chance of being seen. And follow people similar to your niche and comment on their photos too. I try to share at least 5 times a week too so I try to stay pretty consistent with it. But, I started off on Instagram first before my blog so Instagram comes much more easily to me than my blog does. I am still pretty confused when it comes to the blogging world lol

    Oh my gosh, congratulations! I didn’t realize that 10k was required to be able to use the Swipe Up feature, haha. But anyway, you definitely deserve this, you’ve got amazing photos girl! It was super nice of you to hold a giveaway too!

      Awe thank you so much! I really appreciate your sweet words! And I honestly didn’t know you needed 10K for the swipe up feature at first either. I had to Google why I didn’t have it lol

POV: you finally found a board game you’re guarant POV: you finally found a board game you’re guaranteed to win. 🤣🧀🍇

I LOVE board games… especially when people put meat and cheese on them. Maybe some fruit, crackers, and a few other snacks too. Now THAT is a game I’m really good at. 😂👏🏻

Okay, I’ll be honest, I’m actually not a huge board game person. But I AM extremely competitive, which means I only enjoy playing if there’s a decent chance I’m going to win. 😜 And if I’m not good at the game? Suddenly I’m no longer interested. 😂

But give me a charcuterie board filled with cheese, meats, crackers, fruit, and all the yummy snacks, and I’ll happily play all night long. 🙌🏻

Plus, an easy charcuterie board is one of my favorite entertaining ideas for fall get-togethers, game nights, girls’ nights, and holiday parties. It looks impressive, requires basically no cooking, and everyone can grab exactly what they want!

So tell me… are you a REAL board game person 🎲 or are you more of a charcuterie “board game” person like me?! 🧀🤣

Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers Never thought I’d be making a binder with dividers for doctor notes, lab results, treatments, medications, scans, surgeries, symptoms, and medical records at just 33 years old… but here we are. 😂

After months of appointments and still feeling like no one can put all the puzzle pieces together, I’ve officially decided I’m becoming that patient. You know, the one who walks into every appointment carrying a giant medical binder, receipts in hand, ready to advocate for herself and get some ANSWERS. 😂👏🏻

Because if navigating chronic illness has taught me anything, it’s that sometimes you have to become your own medical historian and your own biggest advocate.

There is a little bit of good news though! 🙌🏻 I was able to get an appointment with Duke’s Electrophysiology Clinic to hopefully get more help with my inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) and figure out a better treatment plan. The downside? My appointment isn’t until October 30th. 🙃 So once again… we wait.

I’m really hoping that by the end of this year, I’ll finally have more answers, a treatment plan that actually helps, and a clear path forward. 🤞🏻

Until then, catch me organizing my medical records like they’re a high school research project. 😂📑

Anyone else with chronic illness have a giant medical binder too?! Because I have a feeling I’m definitely not the only one. 👇🏻

🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR 🎃YOU’D NEVER GUESS THESE PUMPKINS CAME FROM DOLLAR TREE!

I found these adorable stackable pumpkins at Dollar Tree for only $5 each, and of course I immediately started thinking about how I could give them a little high-end fall makeover! 🍂

I started with a coat of black spray paint, then went over them with a metallic bronze spray paint to add the prettiest subtle shimmer. ✨ I finished them off with a cute little bow on top, and just like that—a simple Dollar Tree find looks like expensive fall porch decor! 🙌🏻

My porch definitely isn’t fully decorated for fall yet, but I think these DIY Dollar Tree pumpkins are a pretty cute start, don’t you?! 😍

There’s just something so satisfying about taking an inexpensive Dollar Tree find and transforming it into something that looks way more high-end! And this one was SO easy to do. 🎃

Would you try this Dollar Tree fall decor DIY?! 🍁

Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween Who’s already dressing their pets up for Halloween? 🎃👻

Apparently Little Miss Riley is NOT a fan of her new Halloween cat sweater… and she made that very clear. 😹 I, on the other hand, think she looks absolutely adorable in her tiny spooky outfit!

Honestly, I’m shocked we even got the sweater on her. She’s so fast that catching her is usually the hardest part. 😂 Don’t worry though—we only kept it on long enough for a quick fit check before Halloween, then took it right back off and rewarded her with plenty of treats for being such a good girl. 🖤

I have a feeling this may be the first and last time she models her Halloween outfit this year… unless the treats convince her otherwise. 🤣

Are your pets team “dress up for Halloween” or team “absolutely not”? 🎃🐈

It may officially be September, but apparently the weather didn’t get the memo. 🤣 That’s okay though because I REFUSE to light anything but a fall scented candle from now on!

And the Fall Day candle from @ellerydesigns x @antiquecandleco is basically autumn in a jar. 🍁 It’s the perfect cozy fall scent to make your whole home smell like fall, even when it still feels like the middle of summer outside. 😂

Because if I can’t have crisp fall mornings and sweater weather yet, I can at least have a cozy home that SMELLS like fall, right?! 🍂☕️🕯️

If you’re looking for the best fall candles to kick off September and make your home feel extra cozy, definitely add this one to your list!

Comment “Candle” below and I’ll send you the link! And be sure to use code the code MACEDONIA20 for 20% off!

Are you already burning fall candles too, or are you waiting for the weather to cool down?! 👇🏻

POV: You don’t have kids, so your cats get the boo POV: You don’t have kids, so your cats get the boo baskets. 😹🎃🐈‍⬛

I always love making a cute Halloween boo basket, and since we don’t have kids, obviously my cats are getting one instead! 😂🧡

I filled their cat boo basket to the brim with all their favorite treats, Halloween-themed cat toys, and even a few costumes because what’s a boo basket without some embarrassing Halloween outfits?! 👻🤣

Now, they may not appreciate the costumes… but I KNOW they’re going to love the treats and toys! 😹🐾

So take this as your sign to make a Halloween boo basket for your cat this year! It’s such a fun way to spoil your feline friend and get them in the spooky spirit. 🎃🧡

Would your cat love a boo basket or absolutely HATE the costumes? 😂
