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. ⬇️

This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertai This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertainment. We rarely get bugs inside, but when one manages to make its way in, she transforms into a tiny lion on a mission. 😂

What’s even funnier is that she’s been an indoor cat her entire life, yet her hunting skills are surprisingly impressive. The focus. The determination. The stalking. It’s all there. 🤣

Be sure to watch until the end because the lip-licking after she spots her “prey” absolutely sends me every time. 💀😂

Any other indoor cat owners have a little hunter living in their house? 🐾

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’m sure they would love these candles. All of these scents sound similar to scents I love. I have way too many candles according to my husband, though, haha. If I can sneak some more into the house, I would love to order some! Thank you for sharing about this wonderful company!

    I love fruity sweet scents so the Grapefruit, Peach Apricot & Country Pear candles would be perfect for me! Also the sample box sounds great!

    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.

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. ⬇️

This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertai This is Riley’s absolute favorite form of entertainment. We rarely get bugs inside, but when one manages to make its way in, she transforms into a tiny lion on a mission. 😂

What’s even funnier is that she’s been an indoor cat her entire life, yet her hunting skills are surprisingly impressive. The focus. The determination. The stalking. It’s all there. 🤣

Be sure to watch until the end because the lip-licking after she spots her “prey” absolutely sends me every time. 💀😂

Any other indoor cat owners have a little hunter living in their house? 🐾
