Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, but for me, there’s something incredibly healing about sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves roll in. 🌊

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, and stress has a way of piling up faster than we realize. But the moment I sink my toes into the sand, breathe in the salty air, and watch the endless horizon, everything seems a little lighter.

A beach day isn’t just a vacation, it’s a reset for my mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s a quick walk along the shore or hours spent listening to the waves, the ocean always reminds me to slow down, breathe, and be present.

Anyone else feel like the beach is the ultimate stress relief? 🩵🌴

I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔 Just l I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔

Just look at how badly my hands are shaking in this video. Yet every appointment seems to end with the same thing: “Your labs are normal, everything looks fine.”

But does this look fine to you?

I’m a dental hygienist, and when these episodes happen, I can barely hold my instruments. The shaking, internal vibrations, dizziness, nausea, racing heart rate, and feeling like I’m about to pass out have become a regular part of my life. It’s scary, frustrating, and honestly exhausting.

For years, I’ve been searching for answers while dealing with chronic illness symptoms that continue to get worse. Being told everything is “normal” when you know something is wrong is one of the hardest parts of this journey.

The good news is that I finally found a functional neurologist who actually listened to me and took my concerns seriously. 🙏 I have a full neurological workup scheduled for July 6th, and it truly cannot get here fast enough.

I’m desperate for answers. I’m tired of feeling miserable. And I’m hoping this appointment is finally the next step toward figuring out what’s causing these tremors, heart rate spikes, dizziness, and other symptoms.

Please keep me in your prayers that this appointment goes well and that I don’t hear the famous line, “Well, your labs are fine,” one more time. 😂🤞

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic illness, POTS symptoms, dysautonomia, unexplained tremors, or medical gaslighting, let me know in the comments. Sometimes it helps to know we’re not alone. ❤️

Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the l Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the list short because my memory these days is also running out of space too 😜 

And in all seriousness, no I do not run. I actually hate running. So if you see me running, you should probably run too because that means a murderer or a wild animal is chasing me 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a birthday gift… and he wrapped it in TRASH BAGS. 🗑️🎁😂

I guess this will be the last time I hand over gift-wrapping duties! To be fair, the gift was way too big for a normal gift bag, so instead of going to the store, he apparently raided the kitchen trash can cabinet. 💀

Honestly, I can’t even be mad. The creativity is unmatched, and the bow on top really ties the whole “luxury garbage chic” aesthetic together. ✨🤣

Now the real question is… what do you think is inside?! Drop your guesses below ⬇️

Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest mea Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest meaning. 💛

After my endometriosis excision surgery, I treated myself to a special little gift from Kendra Scott. Using their Color Bar, I created a custom yellow necklace because yellow is the official color of Endometriosis Awareness.

This necklace is more than just jewelry. It’s a reminder to keep going on the hard days. To keep sharing my journey with endometriosis, chronic illness, chronic fatigue, and all the invisible struggles that so many women face every day.

If you’ve been following along, you know that surgery hasn’t been the miracle fix I hoped for. I’m still navigating symptoms, fatigue, and recovery. Some days it’s hard to explain just how exhausting chronic illness can be unless you’ve lived it yourself.

But this necklace reminds me that my story matters. It reminds me to continue advocating for better awareness, earlier diagnosis, and more conversations around women’s health. It reminds me to be a voice for those who feel unheard and to keep fighting for a future where endometriosis is taken seriously.

One of the greatest blessings from sharing my journey online has been finding this incredible community. I’ve met so many amazing women who truly understand the challenges of living with endometriosis, POTS-like symptoms, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue. Knowing we’re not alone makes all the difference.

So thank you for continuing to listen, support, and learn alongside me. 💛 I promise to keep showing up, sharing my story, and spreading awareness for the millions of women living with endometriosis.

If you’re an endo warrior too, tell me how long it took you to get diagnosed below. ⬇️

Mother’s Day Gift Guide

I can’t believe how close we are to Mother’s Day! It is definitely sneaking up on us so I thought it would be fun to create a Mother’s Day Gift Guide. Just in case you were looking for some great gift ideas.

All of these items I have listed are items that I have personally used so I know the quality to them is outstanding.

Anything on here would make such a fabulous Mother’s Day present and I know any mother would love to have it!

Mother's Day Gift Guide

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

For The Jewelry Loving Mom:

I think we can all agree that jewelry is always a perfect gift for mom! Whether it’s for her birthday or Mother’s Day, you can’t go wrong with a beautiful piece of jewelry.

I wanted to include some of my favorite jewelry pieces to give right now for this Mother’s Day Gift guide! I am currently loving Victoria Emerson’s collection of jewelry.

Not only are they high quality pieces, but they are amazingly affordable as well!

Victoria Emerson Jewelry
Here are just a few bracelets and Apple Watch Bands that I currently have and love!

They offer many awesome styles of bracelets including wraps and cuffs. And they offer them in a variety of different stones and colors as well.

You can also get Apple Watch Bands or FitBit bands too. I have slowly been building up my jewelry collection from this company and I am not disappointed in any of the pieces I have gotten so far at all.

I have also already given some as Christmas gifts and they were a big hit there as well.

Victoria Emerson Apple Watch Band
Here is a close up view of one of the beautiful Apple Band Watches I have from Victoria Emerson.

If you’re looking for a little more of an elevated look, they also offer some beautiful gold plated pieces too. I love the simple and underestimated look to these pieces.

And currently they are on a BOGO sale so you could definitely order a piece for you and a piece for your mom as well!

Another cute bracelet option is from Inspire Me bracelets. They offer beautiful bracelets with uplifting quotes and/or bible verses on them.

You can get them silver or rose gold plated as well and they have so many pretty natural stone options to choose from too.

This would be such a thoughtful gift to include your mom’s favorite bible verse on a bracelet! You can also use my coupon code “CHARITY1” to save 20% off your order too (until April 30th)!

Inspire Me Rose Gold Bracelet
Here is an all rose gold Inspire Me Bracelet.
Victoria Emerson and Inspire Me Bracelet
I have both Victoria Emerson and Inspire Me Bracelets layered here. You could gift them both just like this and it would be super cute!
Inspire Me Bracelet
And here is a rose gold and white marble Inspire Me Bracelet.

For The Coffee Loving Mom:

If your mom loves coffee just as much as mine does, then why not give her a coffee subscription box gift?! How cool is that idea?!

It’s definitely unique and not your traditional flower and jewelry type gift. I have shared about Tayst Coffee before with y’all but I wanted to mention it again!

You can choose different flavors of coffee, amounts, and other items like coffee mugs. Then, Tayst will package it all up and send it to her monthly so she never runs out of coffee again!

Plus, the cool thing is you can adjust every month. So you could send her the first box, and then let her choose her own coffee after the first month after trying all the flavors. I love how customizable and easy they make it!

Tayst Coffee

If this sounds like a great Mother’s Day gift idea for your mom, I have more exciting news for you. You can use my code “CharityG25” to save 25% off your subscription box with Tayst!

So not only can you give a perfect coffee loving mom gift, but you can save a little money by doing so as well. Also, did I mention that these coffee pods are 100% compostable too?!

Even better if your mom is environmentally conscious too!

For The Cook Loving Mom:

You know my love already for Caraway Home cookware (see my blog post about it for more info in case you missed it last time), so I had to include it on this list too.

If your mom loves to cook, then why not surprise her with a brand new set of cookware!? This is the best set of non-toxic and non-stick cookware I have ever had.

And they come in such fun and stylish colors too. I definitely don’t think you could go wrong with this set as a Mother’s Day gift!

The best cookware
Fry Pan and Dutch Oven
Caraway Home Pans

For The Candle Loving Mom:

Y’all knew that candles of course had to be listed on here didn’t you?! I’ve shared all about my love for Antique Candle Co plenty of times on here before.

But really these make an incredible gift. Whether you choose to gift a full size candle or a box full of different sample sized candles. You really can’t go wrong with this gift idea!

Peach Apricot Candle

I think the sample sized boxes would make a great gift idea. That way she can choose her favorites and then order a full sized one after knowing her favorite scent.

I shared more in detail about all their spring scents a few weeks ago so be sure to go check that out if your interested in learning more.

Also, if your mom isn’t a huge candle fan, did you know that they offer wax melts too?! You could definitely get her a cute wax warmer (I’ll link some cute ones below) and some yummy wax melts and that would make an incredible gift too!

Plus, the wax melts are much cheaper than the candles so that’s a win win there!

For The Work Out Loving Mom:

I wanted to include something for the work out loving moms in this Mother’s Day Gift Guide as well. I think giving the gift of an at home workout streaming option would be so much fun.

Openfit has some incredible classes such as Pilates, Barre, Yoga, Strength Training, Stretching and so much more! Plus, you get a FREE 21 day trial before actually committing to buying.

That way your mom can try out all the classes first and see if she actually likes them before buying the year membership. I personally use this app almost every single day as my workout and LOVE it.

So I highly recommend it. There’s nothing like being able to work out in the comfort of your own home.

Also, chances are if your mom is into working out, she’s also into nutrition as well. Which is why I wanted to include Goli Gummies in this category as well.

I shared all about this amazing Apple Cider Vinegar Gummy in the past, but I wanted to include it here again. They have also released their new Ashwagandha Gummy this year too.

Which is supposed to help you sleep and relax and it definitely does in my experience. Also, both gummies are gluten-free, plant based, non-GMO, and Vegan.

So if this sounds like something your mom would be interested in too, then feel free to use my code “morningsonmacedonia” to save 10% off your order.

Goli Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies
These gummies are actually so delicious. You get all the benefits of apple cider vinegar without the awful taste!

In conjunction with working out, energy is a key factor as well. Which is why Verb Energy bars would make a lovely Mother’s Day Gift for the work out loving mom too!

You can gift her a bag of energy bars for just $12. That includes a bag of her favorite flavor, plus four trial bars in the other flavors as well. So that’s a total of 16 bars for this amazing price.

I love these bars as well and eat them almost every single day. You really do get a great boost of energy from them because they are made with organic green tea and not coffee.

It’s the same as a shot of espresso (65 mg) but you don’t get the jitters from them. Verb Bars are also vegan, non-GMO, organic and only 90 calories as well!

Verb Energy Bars

For The Beauty Loving Mom:

And of course, we can’t forget beauty options on this Mother’s Day Gift Guide! What mom wouldn’t like some new skincare or some new beauty products to make her feel special with?!

I’m currently loving DIME Beauty Products as they are all natural and cruelty free products! My favorite product from them is their eyelash boosting serum.

You can get this with their boosting mascara as a bundle and that would be such a fabulous Mother’s Day present as well.

Their perfume is also amazing and you can get it in a sample size with all 3 different scents that way she can try them all out to decide on her favorite one!

Basically all of their products are amazing and you can’t go wrong with ordering anything from their site. As a bonus, you can use my code, “CharityG20” to get 20% off your order with them too!

DIME Beauty Products
Some of my favorite DIME beauty products on the tray. Their Hyaluronic Acid Serum is also amazing as well.

You guys may also remember my love for TULA Skincare products. I have been using them religiously for almost a year now and this would make such a fabulous Mother’s Day gift as well.

They have so many awesome products to choose from and the cool thing about them all is they are made with probiotics and superfoods. They are also all cruelty free as well.

If you aren’t sure what exactly to gift your mom, then they make cute little sample packs that include little minis of their most popular items.

That would be a perfect way for her to test it out and see if she really likes it or not! You can use my code “15CHARITY” to save 15% your order from them too!

I’m also linking some of my other favorite TULA products below too. Feel free to ask any questions if you are wondering about a certain product.

I have pretty much tried almost all of them and I am super impressed with them all!

Conclusion

Well, this officially wraps up my Mother’s Day gift guide. I hope y’all enjoyed it and I hope it gave you a few ideas on what to gift your mom on this special day.

If you end up getting her anything on this list, please let me know! I would love to hear what your gift idea was. Also, don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about anything on this list here!

I hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating with your sweet mamas!

    I LOVE these picks! I think I’ll see if I can get one delivered before Mother’s Day. I will also check out the skin care line too.

    Jewelry is always a great idea. Love the cookware set too. And yes… to beauty & skincare gifts. I’ve heard a lot of good reviews about Tula. This is one skincare product I’d love to try.

    Great picks. Can’t choose a favorite but if you put a roller to my head then I’d lean towards the coffee roaster and the cookware, in that order.

      Those are definitely some great choices! Can’t go wrong with either option!

Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, but for me, there’s something incredibly healing about sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves roll in. 🌊

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, and stress has a way of piling up faster than we realize. But the moment I sink my toes into the sand, breathe in the salty air, and watch the endless horizon, everything seems a little lighter.

A beach day isn’t just a vacation, it’s a reset for my mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s a quick walk along the shore or hours spent listening to the waves, the ocean always reminds me to slow down, breathe, and be present.

Anyone else feel like the beach is the ultimate stress relief? 🩵🌴

I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔 Just l I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔

Just look at how badly my hands are shaking in this video. Yet every appointment seems to end with the same thing: “Your labs are normal, everything looks fine.”

But does this look fine to you?

I’m a dental hygienist, and when these episodes happen, I can barely hold my instruments. The shaking, internal vibrations, dizziness, nausea, racing heart rate, and feeling like I’m about to pass out have become a regular part of my life. It’s scary, frustrating, and honestly exhausting.

For years, I’ve been searching for answers while dealing with chronic illness symptoms that continue to get worse. Being told everything is “normal” when you know something is wrong is one of the hardest parts of this journey.

The good news is that I finally found a functional neurologist who actually listened to me and took my concerns seriously. 🙏 I have a full neurological workup scheduled for July 6th, and it truly cannot get here fast enough.

I’m desperate for answers. I’m tired of feeling miserable. And I’m hoping this appointment is finally the next step toward figuring out what’s causing these tremors, heart rate spikes, dizziness, and other symptoms.

Please keep me in your prayers that this appointment goes well and that I don’t hear the famous line, “Well, your labs are fine,” one more time. 😂🤞

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic illness, POTS symptoms, dysautonomia, unexplained tremors, or medical gaslighting, let me know in the comments. Sometimes it helps to know we’re not alone. ❤️

Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the l Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the list short because my memory these days is also running out of space too 😜 

And in all seriousness, no I do not run. I actually hate running. So if you see me running, you should probably run too because that means a murderer or a wild animal is chasing me 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a POV: You left your husband in charge of wrapping a birthday gift… and he wrapped it in TRASH BAGS. 🗑️🎁😂

I guess this will be the last time I hand over gift-wrapping duties! To be fair, the gift was way too big for a normal gift bag, so instead of going to the store, he apparently raided the kitchen trash can cabinet. 💀

Honestly, I can’t even be mad. The creativity is unmatched, and the bow on top really ties the whole “luxury garbage chic” aesthetic together. ✨🤣

Now the real question is… what do you think is inside?! Drop your guesses below ⬇️

Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest mea Sometimes the smallest gifts carry the biggest meaning. 💛

After my endometriosis excision surgery, I treated myself to a special little gift from Kendra Scott. Using their Color Bar, I created a custom yellow necklace because yellow is the official color of Endometriosis Awareness.

This necklace is more than just jewelry. It’s a reminder to keep going on the hard days. To keep sharing my journey with endometriosis, chronic illness, chronic fatigue, and all the invisible struggles that so many women face every day.

If you’ve been following along, you know that surgery hasn’t been the miracle fix I hoped for. I’m still navigating symptoms, fatigue, and recovery. Some days it’s hard to explain just how exhausting chronic illness can be unless you’ve lived it yourself.

But this necklace reminds me that my story matters. It reminds me to continue advocating for better awareness, earlier diagnosis, and more conversations around women’s health. It reminds me to be a voice for those who feel unheard and to keep fighting for a future where endometriosis is taken seriously.

One of the greatest blessings from sharing my journey online has been finding this incredible community. I’ve met so many amazing women who truly understand the challenges of living with endometriosis, POTS-like symptoms, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue. Knowing we’re not alone makes all the difference.

So thank you for continuing to listen, support, and learn alongside me. 💛 I promise to keep showing up, sharing my story, and spreading awareness for the millions of women living with endometriosis.

If you’re an endo warrior too, tell me how long it took you to get diagnosed below. ⬇️
