If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor ideas, here’s one simple swap that completely transformed my living room for the season! 🍂🤎

I’ve been working on styling my fall coffee table centerpiece, but something just felt off. The bright greenery mixed with my fall decor wasn’t giving the cozy autumn vibe I was going for.

Then I spotted these adorable fall leaf bud vases from Target’s Hearth & Hand collection, and I knew they were exactly what my centerpiece needed. Swapping out the greenery for these warm autumn leaves made such a huge difference, and now my coffee table finally feels cozy and fall-ready!

Sometimes it’s the smallest decorating changes that make the biggest impact. 🍁

Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps no matter how carefully you shave?! 😂 Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I swear I can spend forever shaving my legs, think they’re perfectly smooth, and then the second I get out of the shower… boom. Hair still hanging out on my kneecaps. 🤦🏼‍♀️

At 33 years old, you’d think I’d have figured out how to shave my knees by now, but apparently not. 😂 Is there some secret shaving hack for smooth legs that everyone knows except me?!

Please tell me this is one of those universal girl problems and I’m not alone! Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your kneecaps somehow survive every shave. 😂

Little Miss Charlie was not impressed with those b Little Miss Charlie was not impressed with those bunnies hopping around her yard uninvited this weekend! 🐰😹

Watching my indoor cat go into full “hunter mode” over the rabbits outside the window had me laughing so hard! 😂 And can we talk about those little back leg kicks at the end? I lose it every single time! 🤣

Poor girl is so determined to catch those bunnies… even though she’s never actually hunted anything besides a toy mouse. 😜 We’ll let her keep believing she’s the fiercest little huntress on the block.

Tell me… does your cat chatter at birds, squirrels, or rabbits through the window 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!

They’re so easy to make, budget-friendly, and honestly look just as cozy on a porch, fireplace mantel, or front steps. If you’re looking for high-end Halloween decor on a budget, this DIY is for you!

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. 🏡✨

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!

    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.

If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor If you’re looking for easy fall coffee table decor ideas, here’s one simple swap that completely transformed my living room for the season! 🍂🤎

I’ve been working on styling my fall coffee table centerpiece, but something just felt off. The bright greenery mixed with my fall decor wasn’t giving the cozy autumn vibe I was going for.

Then I spotted these adorable fall leaf bud vases from Target’s Hearth & Hand collection, and I knew they were exactly what my centerpiece needed. Swapping out the greenery for these warm autumn leaves made such a huge difference, and now my coffee table finally feels cozy and fall-ready!

Sometimes it’s the smallest decorating changes that make the biggest impact. 🍁

If you want the link to these cute little vases, comment “SHOP” below and I’ll send it your way! 🧡

Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps Anyone else always miss the hair on their kneecaps no matter how carefully you shave?! 😂 Please tell me I’m not the only one!

I swear I can spend forever shaving my legs, think they’re perfectly smooth, and then the second I get out of the shower… boom. Hair still hanging out on my kneecaps. 🤦🏼‍♀️

At 33 years old, you’d think I’d have figured out how to shave my knees by now, but apparently not. 😂 Is there some secret shaving hack for smooth legs that everyone knows except me?!

Please tell me this is one of those universal girl problems and I’m not alone! Drop a 🙋🏼‍♀️ if your kneecaps somehow survive every shave. 😂

Little Miss Charlie was not impressed with those b Little Miss Charlie was not impressed with those bunnies hopping around her yard uninvited this weekend! 🐰😹

Watching my indoor cat go into full “hunter mode” over the rabbits outside the window had me laughing so hard! 😂 And can we talk about those little back leg kicks at the end? I lose it every single time! 🤣

Poor girl is so determined to catch those bunnies… even though she’s never actually hunted anything besides a toy mouse. 😜 We’ll let her keep believing she’s the fiercest little huntress on the block.

Tell me… does your cat chatter at birds, squirrels, or rabbits through the window too? 🐈

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!

They’re so easy to make, budget-friendly, and honestly look just as cozy on a porch, fireplace mantel, or front steps. If you’re looking for high-end Halloween decor on a budget, this DIY is for you!

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.
