Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sit Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sitting down is “fine.” 🙃

At this point I feel like I need a medical degree just to advocate for myself.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2020, but I’ve had severe shakiness since I was a teenager (they called it “benign essential tremor”). Lately it’s gotten worse, and now every episode comes with my heart rate skyrocketing.

173 bpm. Sitting down.
After metoprolol.
After electrolytes.

But sure… I’m “okay.”

I know POTS and endometriosis are often linked. My cardiologist thinks it’s “inappropriate sinus tachycardia.” I’m going in for an echocardiogram and another heart monitor Friday because the last one came back “inconclusive.”

When I called today to explain what happened? I was told to go to the ER.

I did that before. Got fluids. Got told I was fine. Got a $4,000 bill after insurance.

Women with chronic illness are so often dismissed, especially those of us with endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 10 women and is still wildly under-researched and underfunded.

I’m not asking for medical diagnoses. I’m asking:

Have you dealt with endometriosis + tachycardia?
POTS?
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia?
Nervous system dysfunction?

What finally helped you get answers?

Because I refuse to believe that “this is just anxiety” or “you’re fine” is the end of the story.

Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 March is Endometriosis A Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and I’m using my platform to help spread awareness about this painful, underfunded, and often misunderstood disease.

So many women I talk to are struggling with endometriosis symptoms, even if they haven’t been officially diagnosed yet.

Here’s what you need to know about endometriosis:

• It affects 1 in 10 women and girls worldwide: nearly 190 million people.
• The average time to get an endometriosis diagnosis is 7–10 years after symptoms begin.
• For every diagnosis, only about $4.30 goes toward NIH research funding. It is drastically under-researched and underfunded. And it is NOT “just bad cramps.”

Common symptoms of endometriosis include:
• severe period pain
• chronic pelvic pain
• painful ovulation
• heavy periods
• infertility
• digestive issues and bloating
• extreme fatigue
• pain during intercourse

There is currently no cure for endometriosis, only symptom management through medication, hormone therapy, or excision surgery.

Up to 30–50% of women facing infertility may have endometriosis.

It’s also considered an invisible illness, meaning many women look “fine” while battling daily pain internally.

A hysterectomy is NOT guaranteed to cure endometriosis.

This is heavy.
And it’s hard to live with endometriosis every single day. It affects my everyday life more than most people realize. And sometimes, I feel incredibly alone in it.

So if your pain is disrupting your daily life, please don’t ignore it. Let’s use Endometriosis Awareness Month to push for more research, more funding, earlier diagnosis, and better care for women everywhere.

Save this. Share this. Talk about this.
Awareness leads to change. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endometriosisawarenessmonth #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters

Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Caro Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Carolina might be the cutest small town in the mountains and I can’t believe it took me this long to explore it! 🤍

A couple of weeks ago, we spent the day in downtown Brevard and instantly fell in love. Think charming antique stores, cozy coffee shops, local bookstores, amazing restaurants, and the kind of walkable Main Street that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. If you’re planning a trip to Brevard, NC, especially if you’re visiting near Asheville or the Blue Ridge Mountains, this little mountain town absolutely needs to be on your list.

How to Style a Thanksgiving Tablescape

I’ve shared a lot of tablescapes in the past, but I think my Thanksgiving tablescape this year is one of my very favorites! I wanted to change it up a tad from my fall tablescape that I shared a little bit ago. I wanted something a little more elevated and fancy for our Thanksgiving table.

And I think I nailed it! I found most pieces from Belk and they all just came together so perfectly!

How to Style a Thanksgiving Tablescape
Shop this space below:

The Before

I started off with a blank slate. Just my usual placemats and galvanized metal chargers that I use. Then my white tray that I use as a centerpiece.

I emptied everything off of it first to get ready to style my Thanksgiving tablescape!

Amber Goblets

The very first thing I saw while shopping at Belk were these beautiful amber goblets. This is definitely what inspired my Thanksgiving tablescape to begin with. I just love the bubbly glass texture to them.

They almost look vintage and I think that is why I was so drawn to them. If you know me, then you know I am a sucker for anything vintage!

I think these amber goblets alone make the entire table feel more fancy. Don’t you just love fancy and festive glassware?! It’s not everyday that you can drink out of something so pretty!

That’s why I wanted something a little more sophisticated than my copper mugs I had on my fall tablescape.

Amber Glass on Thanksgiving Table
I just love it when the natural light shines through all this amber glass!

Amber Vase

To go along with the amber goblets, I saw a matching amber vase that I thought would be perfect in my centerpiece tray. They had two different sizes to choose from and I hesitated at first about which one to get.

I was originally thinking that the smaller one would look better, but at the end I changed my mind and grabbed the larger one.

And I am so glad I did because it is the perfect size!

Battery Operated Candles

Who doesn’t love a cozy Thanksgiving Tablescape?! That’s why I thought it would be fun to add in some battery operated candles.

You don’t have to worry about the mess of wax melting from candlesticks onto your table with these beauties!

I found some beautiful mango wood candlesticks too and thought these candles would work perfectly on them. I got a small and a large one and I love the varying heights it creates.

I had one candle leftover after placing them on the candlesticks and I thought why not add it inside the vase?!

This created a cozy, ambient glow, especially at night. And I love how having the candle inside the amber vase really highlights the amber colors.

Which, as you can see, that was my main goal in creating in this Thanksgiving tablescape. I also love how these candles come with a remote control so you can easily turn them off and on.

Cozy, Ambient Thanksgiving Centerpiece
Look at that cozy glow from the candles!

Festive Thanksgiving Plates

The next part of my Thanksgiving tablescape are these festive plates. I got a gold-rimmed dinner plate which I love because it’s not too over the top.

The gold can be carried into Christmas and even New Years as well. You know I love to get pieces that can easily be transitioned into other seasons and/or holidays.

My salad/dessert plates are a tad bit more Thanksgiving related. As they all say “Blessed, Thankful, Grateful, and Gather”.

But they also have a gold rim around them and beautiful gold leaf detailing as well. You could also break these out early and use them during the fall too if you wanted to get more life out of them this season.

Other Details

Another fun detail I added in is this beautiful jute table runner. This definitely can be used over and over again as it is a great neutral piece.

And it is the perfect length to lay under my tray that I always use for a centerpiece as well.

You may also remember these beautiful florals I used from my fall table this year as well. I decided to bring them on into my Thanksgiving tablescape too since they were the perfect color scheme.

Well, this is everything that I did for my Thanksgiving tablescape this year. I hope you enjoyed it and were inspired a little bit from it as well.

Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year? And if so, are you planning on doing a tablescape too?? I would love to hear all your ideas below!

    Again a super lovely table decor! I am a bit fan of amber for autumn and it looks very fresh with white. Those battery candles are fab because my kids are too curious with fire and I just find them safer. Happy Thanksgiving in advance xx

    The amber vase is beautiful. I love the balance of this tablescape for fall. All is neat and nice.
    I live in a tropical country so I never get to experience fall. But with your blogs, I can experience autumn in a way. Everything is lovely. So, thank you!x

Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sit Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sitting down is “fine.” 🙃

At this point I feel like I need a medical degree just to advocate for myself.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2020, but I’ve had severe shakiness since I was a teenager (they called it “benign essential tremor”). Lately it’s gotten worse, and now every episode comes with my heart rate skyrocketing.

173 bpm. Sitting down.
After metoprolol.
After electrolytes.

But sure… I’m “okay.”

I know POTS and endometriosis are often linked. My cardiologist thinks it’s “inappropriate sinus tachycardia.” I’m going in for an echocardiogram and another heart monitor Friday because the last one came back “inconclusive.”

When I called today to explain what happened? I was told to go to the ER.

I did that before. Got fluids. Got told I was fine. Got a $4,000 bill after insurance.

Women with chronic illness are so often dismissed, especially those of us with endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 10 women and is still wildly under-researched and underfunded.

I’m not asking for medical diagnoses. I’m asking:

Have you dealt with endometriosis + tachycardia?
POTS?
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia?
Nervous system dysfunction?

What finally helped you get answers?

Because I refuse to believe that “this is just anxiety” or “you’re fine” is the end of the story.

If you’ve been through something similar, please share your experience below. Let’s make this thread a resource for women who are tired of being dismissed. 🤍 #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth #pots #potssyndrome  #womenshealthmatters

We’ve seen @bailey.zimmerman open up for Morgan Wa We’ve seen @bailey.zimmerman open up for Morgan Wallen twice before, but let me tell you, his own headlining concert was absolutely incredible!! We had so much fun on Thursday night and it was honestly one of my favorite concerts (which is saying a lot because we’ve been to several!). His energy is just unmatched and I wish I could jump around like that all the time too 🤣 Have you ever seen him in concert before?? #baileyzimmerman #countryconcert #concertvibes #concertvenue #baileyzimmermanconcert
Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 March is Endometriosis A Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and I’m using my platform to help spread awareness about this painful, underfunded, and often misunderstood disease.

So many women I talk to are struggling with endometriosis symptoms, even if they haven’t been officially diagnosed yet.

Here’s what you need to know about endometriosis:

• It affects 1 in 10 women and girls worldwide: nearly 190 million people.
• The average time to get an endometriosis diagnosis is 7–10 years after symptoms begin.
• For every diagnosis, only about $4.30 goes toward NIH research funding. It is drastically under-researched and underfunded. And it is NOT “just bad cramps.”

Common symptoms of endometriosis include:
• severe period pain
• chronic pelvic pain
• painful ovulation
• heavy periods
• infertility
• digestive issues and bloating
• extreme fatigue
• pain during intercourse

There is currently no cure for endometriosis, only symptom management through medication, hormone therapy, or excision surgery.

Up to 30–50% of women facing infertility may have endometriosis.

It’s also considered an invisible illness, meaning many women look “fine” while battling daily pain internally.

A hysterectomy is NOT guaranteed to cure endometriosis.

This is heavy.
And it’s hard to live with endometriosis every single day. It affects my everyday life more than most people realize. And sometimes, I feel incredibly alone in it.

So if your pain is disrupting your daily life, please don’t ignore it. Let’s use Endometriosis Awareness Month to push for more research, more funding, earlier diagnosis, and better care for women everywhere.

Save this. Share this. Talk about this.
Awareness leads to change. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endometriosisawarenessmonth #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters

POV: you’re a former street cat experiencing snow POV: you’re a former street cat experiencing snow for the first time… and trying to play it cool 😹❄️

Little Miss Charlie swore she was tough, rolling around in the snow like she owns the place 😂 She did low-key love it though… rolling, flopping, living her best winter queen life.

And then 2 minutes later?
Back inside.
By the fireplace.
Where the real luxury lives. 🔥😌

From scrappy outdoor stray to spoiled indoor princess… the character development is unreal. I fear she’s officially lost her street cred. But that’s okay because we love her so much and happy she’s safe inside with us! 😻
Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Caro Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Carolina might be the cutest small town in the mountains and I can’t believe it took me this long to explore it! 🤍

A couple of weeks ago, we spent the day in downtown Brevard and instantly fell in love. Think charming antique stores, cozy coffee shops, local bookstores, amazing restaurants, and the kind of walkable Main Street that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. If you’re planning a trip to Brevard, NC, especially if you’re visiting near Asheville or the Blue Ridge Mountains, this little mountain town absolutely needs to be on your list.

I put together a full blog post with all the best things to do in Brevard, NC (where to eat, shop, and explore), so you can plan the perfect weekend getaway.

POV: It’s 30 degrees and snowing… but I’m mentally at the beach with 80-degree weather, a fresh tan, my toes in the water, and Morgan Wallen turned ALL the way up. 🌊☀️

Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks sunshine + country music + salty air is actual therapy?! Give me a beach chair, a good summer read, and a speaker blasting my favorite Morgan Wallen songs and I’m instantly fixed. 😂

We had a little taste of spring this weekend (it hit 70 degrees and felt amazing), and now we’re right back to freezing temps and snow. So if you need me, I’ll just be over here manifesting summer vacation, beach days, and warm weather vibes.

Anyone else already dreaming about their next beach trip? 🏖️✨ #morganwallen #beachvacay #beachsunset #sunsetvibes #vacationvibes

If you think you’re “late” taking down your Christ If you think you’re “late” taking down your Christmas decor… just know I still have fall decor on my back porch 😅🍂

Yes. In February.

In my defense, it’s been a freezing winter, I ran out of storage bins while packing up my fall decorations, and once it got cold? I simply ✨chose peace✨ instead of porch cleanup 😂

But with the warmer weather finally rolling in, it’s officially time for a spring porch refresh! 🌸🌿 Goodbye pumpkins, hello spring decor, outdoor living, and fresh seasonal styling.

Anyone else still transitioning their seasonal home decor, or am I alone in my fall-to-spring glow up? 😜 #seasonaldecor #relatablereels #dontjudgeme #springdecor #porchdecor
