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”? 🎃🐈

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.

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? 😂

My Favorite Christmas Candles

I know I shared with you all my favorite fall candles a little while ago, but now I thought I would share with you my favorite Christmas candles too. Especially since the season is quickly approaching, whether you’re ready or not!

I always love to have a stockpile of good Christmas scents on hand, that way I am ready to burn all the cozy scents when we have friends or family over to visit. And of course for Thanksgiving (you can totally burn Christmas scents during Thanksgiving too in my opinion) and Christmas!

Homemade Gingerbread Christmas Candle
Not only do they smell amazing, but they look so pretty styled in trays like this too!

Homemade Gingerbread Candle

So as you can probably tell already, these Christmas candles are from my favorite candle company ever, Antique Candle Co!

They literally make the yummiest and coziest Christmas scents and I just cannot get enough of them! I am so happy to be working with them this Christmas season because I know these will make such great Christmas gifts for all my friends and family.

I will share just a few of my favorite Christmas candle scents below with you all and keep in mind, they have even more options online too!

Christmas Candle Sample Pack

The Homemade Gingerbread candle is pictured above and it smells exactly like the name! It literally smells like you have been slaving away in the kitchen all day baking gingerbread cookies.

This one is their newest scent for their Christmas release and they have outdone themselves with this one for sure.

Homemade Gingerbread is a cozy scent of homemade gingerbread with sweet and spicy blends of ginger, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and brown sugar, finished with warm vanilla.

Antique Candle Co
Homemade Gingerbread Sample Sized Candle
I just love all their packaging and labeling!

Tree Farm Candle

This one is my very favorite out of all their Christmas candles! I use artificial Christmas trees, so I love to light a good smelling pine candle.

And this one definitely fits the ticket. It smells like you just walked into a Christmas Tree Farm and are about to cut down a fresh tree home to decorate!

It is so nostalgic and perfect for this Christmas season.

Tree Farm Candle
This definitely makes that tree there in my office smell like the real thing!

Also, Antique Candle Co collaborated with Vintage Porch to make this amazing Christmas scent.

I love how they partner with bloggers and influencers to help them come up with their own signature scent.

I would love to be able to do that with them one day too. How cool would that be?!

Cozy Tree Farm Candle
Cozy Tree Farm Candle!

Tree Farm is a nostalgic scent of crisp, freshly trimmed evergreen and Fraser fir pines, wrapped in delicate notes of winter cedarwood.

Antique Candle Co
Tree Farm Candle Sample Sized
I could literally burn this sample sized tree farm candle in one sitting!

Christmas Day Candle

This one is also a great option too. I love the spicy cinnamon undertones to it and it smells just like a cozy at home gathering with friends and family.

Lighting one of these up for a Christmas party would be such a great hit!

Christmas Day is a Christmas celebration with top notes fresh pine, cozy balsam, and fir, blended with a heart of cinnamon sticks, clove, and soft hints of fruit and sweet oak moss.

Antique Candle Co
Christmas Day Sample Sized Candle
Can’t believe that Christmas Day is almost here as well!

Good Tidings Candle

Last but not least of my favorite Christmas candles is the Good Tidings candle. This one smells so delicious as well and I love being able to order all four of these Christmas scents in a sample pack before buying a full sized version of them.

The sample packs are such a great way to discover your favorite scents. This was my first year smelling all their Christmas candles too, and I am so glad I started with a sample pack.

That helped me determine that Tree Farm was definitely my number one favorite, but they are all so good too!

Good Tidings is a warm holiday blend of evergreens, citrus, cinnamon, and clove, highlighted by a sweet musk of raspberry, maple, and vanilla.

Antique Candle Co
Good Tidings Sample Sized Candle
This is the sample sized candle and they are so perfect for smaller spaces like bathrooms!

Conclusion

I literally can’t get enough of these candles and the Christmas candles are definitely my favorite out of all the seasonal options.

There is just something about lighting a delicious smelling candle along with the cozy glow of Christmas lights.

Have you ever gotten an Antique Candle Co Candle before? If you have, let me know what your favorite scent is below!

    These candles have such nice jars, and I love the gingerbread scent. They would make a great gift for the holidays too.

    Mmm these all sound wonderful. I’m at uni in lockdown at the moment and I miss the smells of my house around Christmas time, especially my sister baking her gingerbread house!!! Is it acceptable to buy myself a candle?… yes i think so 😂

    Ooooh, Charity! Each of these sounds absolutely divine. Few things can beat cozying up on a cold night, yummy scented candles lit, plush blanket on the lap, comfy pajamas on, with a cup of hot cocoa in hand. Whew, didn’t your stress level just go down 3 notches even thinking about it? 🙂

    By the way, the way you’ve decorated your home is absolutely beautiful. Such an inviting space. As a big fan of Christmas trees and how their soft lighting glows in a room, your office is perfect. You must enjoy creating in such a wonderful space?

    The Homemade Gingerbread candle sounds like it might be a winner for me. Do you have a favorite of the ones you’ve listed? I’m a big fan of ‘warm’ scents, which often include notes of cinnamon and vanilla.

    Thanks for sharing, Charity. I’ve pinned and shared your post. God bless you. I hope you and your family are well. 💕

      Awe thank you so much Holly! I appreciate that. My favorites are definitely the homemade gingerbread and tree farm for sure. They really do make your stress levels go way down when you light them and are relaxing on a cozy evening! And I hope you and your family have all been doing well too my friend!

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!

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? 😂
