We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina Charm event at @therevelry_clt benefiting the Isabella Santos Foundation! 💕

From the beautiful venue to the amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere, everything about this night was incredible! And getting to meet @relationshep and @salleycarson from Bravo’s Southern Charm was just the cherry on top! 🍒

Y’all already know how obsessed I am with Charleston and Southern Charm, so this event was basically MADE for me! 🤣 Plus, any excuse to get all dressed up, feel fancy, and enjoy a night out for a great cause? Count me in! 🥂

And the best part was knowing that all the fun was supporting the @isftorch and its mission to help children battling rare pediatric cancers. 💛

At this point, I’ve pretty much met the entire Southern Charm cast except Austen and Madison! So if y’all are reading this, I guess you’re next on my list! 🤣👏🏻

Now I need to know… are you a Southern Charm fan too?! And if so, who’s your favorite cast member?! 👀

Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until N Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until November 1st to decorate for Christmas. 🤣

Sorry, but some of us have approximately 57 Christmas trees to put up, and that kind of commitment takes TIME. 😜🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

Now tell me, are you team Christmas decorating in October or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀
Bless my poor husband’s heart because when he marr Bless my poor husband’s heart because when he married me, I don’t think he realized he was signing up for a lifetime of Christmas decorating chaos! 😂

But when you’re a Christmas-obsessed wife who believes EVERY single room in the house deserves its own Christmas tree, you have to start decorating early, right?! 🎅🏻

I mean, putting up multiple Christmas trees, hanging garland, and transforming our entire home into a cozy Christmas wonderland takes TIME! So obviously, October is a perfectly reasonable time to start decorating for Christmas. At least that’s what I keep telling him! 😜

Thankfully, after 10 years of marriage, he knows the drill and just goes along with all my crazy Christmas decorating ideas. He’s a keeper for sure! ❤️

Now PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one who starts decorating for Christmas in October?! 🎄🤣 And how many Christmas trees do you put up in your house?!

#ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter ju #ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter jug… turn it into a Halloween boo basket for your cats instead! I’m partnering with @catspride today to put an empty Cat’s Pride litter jug to good use with the cutest little upcycling project. Since the jug was already the perfect Frankenstein green, I knew exactly what I wanted to make! 💚 After cleaning the empty jug thoroughly, we cut off the top to create a basket shape. Then I used my Cricut to add a Frankenstein face before filling it with some of Riley and Toby’s favorite cat treats and Halloween toys. And judging by Toby’s reaction to that catnip owl, I’d say this DIY cat boo basket was a success. 😹 And before the jug was transformed, Cat’s Pride made litter box duty a whole lot easier. I love the odor control and easy scooping, and Riley and Toby are always VERY interested when a fresh box of litter appears. 😂 So consider this your sign to save your next empty litter jug and get creative with it! And when it’s time to stock up on fresh litter, check out Cat’s Pride for your own feline crew. 🐾 Would you make a Halloween boo basket for your cats?! 🎃👇🏻

Poor Riley! The look of absolute SHOCK on her face when she hears about her past! 🤣 I swear, the dramatic reactions of cats are just too funny sometimes!

But here’s a fun fact about our little rescue kitty! 🐈‍⬛ When we adopted Riley, my mom actually adopted her biological mama, Smoke! So technically, Riley’s mom lives with her grandma now. 🤣 Which means we can visit her anytime we want!

So don’t worry, Riley! We know exactly where you came from, and your mama is living her best life too! 😹❤️

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who makes up dramatic storylines about her cats?! 🤣

When you’re ready to serve, combine the pecans, bacon, and green onions in a shallow dish and roll the cheese ball in the mixture until completely coated. Cut thin strips from the white cheese to create the football laces, arrange everything on a serving tray with your favorite crackers and pretzels, and you have the CUTEST football party appetizer! 🏈🧀

My Favorite Spring Candles

Y’all know my love for candles is strong. And I have shared in the past my favorite Fall and Christmas candles. So now I thought it would be fun to share all my favorite candles for spring.

You also know if you have been around here enough, that I am in love with Antique Candle Co! Their candles are seriously the best and I love being able to support a wonderful small business like themselves.

I figured I would share with you all some of my all time favorites in case you are looking for some wonderful spring scents for your home too!

My Favorite Spring Candles

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

Grapefruit

Grapefruit is one of their new spring candles for 2021. They surprised us all and came out with a total of three NEW scents this year.

This includes this one, lemon eucalyptus, and peach apricot. I was so excited to hear that they released so many scents this year because they normally only do one new scent per season!

Spring Candle on Tray
I love styling these candles on trays if you can’t tell!

Grapefruit is a bright scent of sugared pink grapefruit with vibrant citrus zest, highlighted by floral notes of peach blossom and eucalyptus leaf.

Antique Candle Co

Lemon Eucalyptus

Lemon Eucalyptus is such a wonder spring scent as well. It has such a great clean fragrance to it and I love the subtle hint of lemon it brings to the table too.

It’s a very unique scent and I haven’t ever had a candle quite like it!

Lemon Eucalyptus Candle
Such a perfect candle for spring!

Lemon Eucalyptus is a fresh aroma of bright lemon and sweet orange, highlighted with a bouquet of eucalyptus leaves, citrus blooms, and wild mint.

Antique Candle Co

Peach Apricot

Peach Apricot was a huge surprise to me! I had no idea they were even releasing this one so I was super happy when it arrived in the mail!

This one is officially launching on April 27th and I am loving the combination of both peach and apricot together.

They already have a Georgia Peach scent too, which is awesome as well, but this one doesn’t have as strong of a peach scent as that one. This one is more subtle, which I love!

Peach Apricot Candle
I am loving this new one!

A sweet medley of fresh peach and apricot, blended with sugary vanilla, soft jasmine, and clean citrus.

Antique Candle Co

Country Pear

Country Pear is a classic and one of their collaboration candles. This is another thing that I love about this company.

They try to partner and collaborate with as many bloggers and influencers as they can to make their own unique and wonderful scent.

This one was created by the very successful and talented Instagram Influencer, Cotton Stem. Country Pear just celebrated it’s two year anniversary and I am so happy that it is sticking around because it is honestly one of my favorite spring candles.

It has such a subtle yet sweet scent and it is super fragrant as well.

Country Pear Candle
Such a cozy and delicious scent!

Country Pear by Cotton Stem is a cozy blend of fresh golden pear with rich plum, highlighted with brown sugar vanilla and soft notes of roasted hazelnut.

Antique Candle Co

Lavender Vanilla

Lavender Vanilla is another one of my go to’s when ordering spring candles. I love this one especially for the bedroom or bathroom areas.

The lavender scent gives me such a calming and relaxing feeling. I love lighting it a few hours before bed.

I believe it helps me sleep well during the night if I do this every night. Plus, it makes your whole bedroom smell delightful too!

Lavender Vanilla Candle
I have the lavender vanilla candle placed on a bathroom tiered tray here.

Lavender Vanilla is a soothing bouquet of fresh florals and lavender blossoms, highlighted with warm vanilla bean.

Antique Candle Co

Can’t Decide What Spring Candles to Get?

Well then, good news! Antique Candle Co decided to release a HUGE sample box of their Locally Grown Favorites and it includes all of the spring candles listed above plus even more!

It comes with a total of nine sample sized candles! This would be a perfect way to try them all out and to decide which one is your favorite.

Also, you can try the new Peach Apricot scent before it’s official launch date in this box as well. As I mentioned above, the Peach Apricot isn’t set to officially release until April 27th, but this box is coming out on April 13th!

Locally Grown Sample Pack
All the cute little candles that come in the Locally Grown Sample Pack!

Also, on the same day, they are doing an Antique Restock. If you haven’t heard of that before, it is another one of my reasons why I just love Antique Candle Co so much.

What they do is find several antique pieces such as vintage tins, teacups, crock ware, stoneware, and so much more.

Then, they fill these pieces with their delicious soy candle scents and you can get a truly one of a kind piece! I absolutely love when they do these restocks but they sell out so quickly so be sure to set your alarms and mark your calendars!

Have y’all ever had any spring candles from Antique Candle Co before?? If so, I would love to hear what some of your favorite scents are too! Let me know below!

    Yes, another candle lover! My favorite smells are roses, vanilla, and sandalwood. But cinnamon and fruity candles(that don’t smell like medicine), are always great. One of my favorite things to do is light a candle, and just do my work alongside it. But I’m having trouble with finding candles that actually have scents when they burn, so this seems perfect. I’ll certainly check them out, thanks for sharing!

    I’ve recently been fond of scented candles. Found myself buying quite a number of it these days! There’s so many interesting scents from small businesses here who make candles and right now, they’re already selling Christmas collections and I’ve already placed my orders. Definitely excited to get my candles.

We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina We had the BEST time this weekend at the Carolina Charm event at @therevelry_clt benefiting the Isabella Santos Foundation! 💕

From the beautiful venue to the amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere, everything about this night was incredible! And getting to meet @relationshep and @salleycarson from Bravo’s Southern Charm was just the cherry on top! 🍒

Y’all already know how obsessed I am with Charleston and Southern Charm, so this event was basically MADE for me! 🤣 Plus, any excuse to get all dressed up, feel fancy, and enjoy a night out for a great cause? Count me in! 🥂

And the best part was knowing that all the fun was supporting the @isftorch and its mission to help children battling rare pediatric cancers. 💛

At this point, I’ve pretty much met the entire Southern Charm cast except Austen and Madison! So if y’all are reading this, I guess you’re next on my list! 🤣👏🏻

Now I need to know… are you a Southern Charm fan too?! And if so, who’s your favorite cast member?! 👀

Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until N Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until November 1st to decorate for Christmas. 🤣

Sorry, but some of us have approximately 57 Christmas trees to put up, and that kind of commitment takes TIME. 😜🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

Now tell me, are you team Christmas decorating in October or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀
Bless my poor husband’s heart because when he marr Bless my poor husband’s heart because when he married me, I don’t think he realized he was signing up for a lifetime of Christmas decorating chaos! 😂

But when you’re a Christmas-obsessed wife who believes EVERY single room in the house deserves its own Christmas tree, you have to start decorating early, right?! 🎅🏻

I mean, putting up multiple Christmas trees, hanging garland, and transforming our entire home into a cozy Christmas wonderland takes TIME! So obviously, October is a perfectly reasonable time to start decorating for Christmas. At least that’s what I keep telling him! 😜

Thankfully, after 10 years of marriage, he knows the drill and just goes along with all my crazy Christmas decorating ideas. He’s a keeper for sure! ❤️

Now PLEASE tell me I’m not the only one who starts decorating for Christmas in October?! 🎄🤣 And how many Christmas trees do you put up in your house?!

#ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter ju #ad 🎃🐈‍⬛ Don’t throw away that empty cat litter jug… turn it into a Halloween boo basket for your cats instead! I’m partnering with @catspride today to put an empty Cat’s Pride litter jug to good use with the cutest little upcycling project. Since the jug was already the perfect Frankenstein green, I knew exactly what I wanted to make! 💚 After cleaning the empty jug thoroughly, we cut off the top to create a basket shape. Then I used my Cricut to add a Frankenstein face before filling it with some of Riley and Toby’s favorite cat treats and Halloween toys. And judging by Toby’s reaction to that catnip owl, I’d say this DIY cat boo basket was a success. 😹 And before the jug was transformed, Cat’s Pride made litter box duty a whole lot easier. I love the odor control and easy scooping, and Riley and Toby are always VERY interested when a fresh box of litter appears. 😂 So consider this your sign to save your next empty litter jug and get creative with it! And when it’s time to stock up on fresh litter, check out Cat’s Pride for your own feline crew. 🐾 Would you make a Halloween boo basket for your cats?! 🎃👇🏻

This is such a fun way to use up leftover Halloween candy instead of letting it sit around for the next six months. 😂

Poor Riley! The look of absolute SHOCK on her face when she hears about her past! 🤣 I swear, the dramatic reactions of cats are just too funny sometimes!

But here’s a fun fact about our little rescue kitty! 🐈‍⬛ When we adopted Riley, my mom actually adopted her biological mama, Smoke! So technically, Riley’s mom lives with her grandma now. 🤣 Which means we can visit her anytime we want!

So don’t worry, Riley! We know exactly where you came from, and your mama is living her best life too! 😹❤️

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who makes up dramatic storylines about her cats?! 🤣

Football season is officially here, which means I’m all about the game day snacks! 🙌🏻 
And this easy Football Cheese Ball might just be the cutest addition to your next football party or tailgate! I’m partnering with @foodlion to create this simple, delicious football-shaped cheese ball using ingredients you can easily grab during your next grocery run. 
It’s creamy, cheesy, loaded with ranch and bacon, and perfect for serving with crackers and pretzels. 😍 Here’s what you’ll need: 
🏈 FOOTBALL CHEESE BALL: 
• 16 oz cream cheese (2 8-oz blocks), softened 
• 2 tbsp sour cream 
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese 
• 1 oz ranch seasoning (1 packet) 
• ¼ cup chopped green onions 
• ½ cup chopped bacon or bacon bits 
• 1 tsp hot sauce (optional) 
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce 
🏈 FOR THE COATING: 
• ⅓ cup chopped pecans 
• ½ cup chopped bacon 
• 2 tbsp chopped green onions 
• 2 slices white cheese for the football laces 
Mix all of the cheese ball ingredients together in the bowl of a stand mixer until combined. Spray a little cooking oil on your hands and shape the mixture into a football. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. I made mine the night before so it was ready to go on game day! When you’re ready to serve, combine the pecans, bacon, and green onions in a shallow dish and roll the cheese ball in the mixture until completely coated. Cut thin strips from the white cheese to create the football laces, arrange everything on a serving tray with your favorite crackers and pretzels, and you have the CUTEST football party appetizer! 🏈🧀
