I’ve been working on my fall front porch this weekend, and I’m loving how it’s coming together so far! 

It’s still SO warm here in North Carolina, which means all of my summer flowers and plants are still going strong. So instead of my usual neutral fall porch decor, we’re going a little more colorful this year and I think it looks so pretty! 🍂🌸

I added a new pumpkin doormat for a little fall refresh, but everything else is fall decor I’ve reused from years past. Proof that you definitely don’t need to buy all new decorations every season to give your porch a fresh look! 🙌🏻

And can we talk about FAUX MUMS?! I bought these last year, and it may have been one of my best fall decorating decisions because I can pull them out year after year and they still look perfect. Which is especially helpful considering I somehow manage to kill the real mums every single fall. 💀🤣

I still have a few finishing touches to add, but I’d say my colorful fall porch is off to a pretty good start! 🎃

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. 👇🏻

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. 🎃

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”? 🎃🐈

My Honest Review of Personal Trainer Foods

A few weeks ago, I shared all about Personal Trainer Foods. And today I wanted to share with you all my honest review of Personal Trainer Foods since I just completed the program. I’ve gotta say, I am honestly FLOORED by the results.

I really didn’t think I would lose much weight. Considering the fact that I have a very hard time losing weight. I usually stay around the same size all the time no matter what I do.

So seeing the progress really encouraged me and I can’t wait to share all my results and thoughts with you below!

My Honest Review of Personal Trainer Foods

I was gifted a two week subscription of Personal Trainer Foods, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Food Review

So I’m sure you guys want to know if the food actually tasted good or not. And the answer is yes! I was honestly so skeptical about it.

Because just looking at the bag of frozen food, I wasn’t too impressed. The veggies looked a little plain and I thought they would be disgusting.

But, thankfully they give you a bottle of garlic butter sauce to spruce them up with. And that tasted amazing! I also added in some salt and pepper and that made them taste great as well.

Breakfast

I think my favorite meal from the Personal Trainer Foods program would be their breakfast options. They were honestly very filling and tasted great as well. I love how they had a lot of omelet options to choose from.

Breakfast Food

Personal Trainer Food Breakfast

Omelets are my favorite breakfast food and I was surprised that you could pretty much have them every morning if you wanted to on this program. Their maple sausage was also very tasty as well!

Lunch

I loved being able to have these meals for lunch too. They are very quick and easy to heat up and serve. I don’t have a lot of time when I am working during the week for lunch.

Lunch Foods
Lunch Foods

I am a full time dental hygienist and some days we don’t even take a lunch break. So I always need something quick and easy to heat up.

And these definitely do the trick. They also keep me full and satisfied as well which is always something I am looking for in a lunch too!

Dinner

Again, I loved having these for dinner because of the convenience of them. I didn’t have to worry about what I was going to make when I got off work.

I was able to just throw them into the microwave and have a nice and healthy meal!

Dinner
Dinner

However, I will say that sometimes I didn’t feel as though just the meat and veggies were enough for me for dinner.

If I just ate that alone, I was still kinda hungry after a few hours. So I ended up adding in some brown rice/quinoa mixes to my dinners along with the meat and veggies.

And that definitely helped keep me satisfied.

Snacks

I did also continue to eat snacks during the program as well. But I tried to make sure they were healthy and nothing overly indulgent.

I ate a lot of nuts, fruits, and veggies with hummus as snacks. I would also occasionally throw in a fruit smoothie from time to time as well.

I still pretty much ate all the snacks that I enjoyed before, but also still lost weight while on this program.

We were already eating a healthier diet before I started this program, so that helped since I didn’t have a lot of bad foods in the house to tempt me.

Was Personal Trainer Worth it for me?

I will say that I think this meal delivery service was 100% worth it for me. When I started this, I weighed 145.2 pounds

And after I finished the program I weighed 138 pounds. So I lost over 7 pounds in just two short weeks.

Review of Personal Trainer
Pin for later!

I’ve never been able to lose weight that quickly before so it definitely has something to say about the foods you put in your body!

I feel much better and I am going to continue eating right and exercise more this year to keep this up. I don’t want to go back to where I was.

So I am very thankful to Personal Trainer Foods and being able to partner up and try it out this year! I loved it!

    Thanks for your honest review of the program and I’m happy that you found you enjoyed it. I wonder how sustainable it would be in the long run – particularly as 7 lbs in 2 weeks is not considered to be a healthy weight loss.

    At first, I didn’t realize that “Personal Trainer Foods” was the name of the product/ company. I thought that you were just going to eat ‘like’ personal trainers do. After reading your post, I can definitely appreciate the appeal of a quick grab and go meal. It’s so nice to NOT have to decide what to cook and then plan ahead to make sure you have everything you need to make it. The breakfast items looked most appealing to me. I have texture issues, so I’m not sure putting my proteins and veggies would work for me with the lunch/ dinner options. It’s great that the overall program worked for you and that you’re feeling better. I wish you well on your health journey.

    I hadn’t heard of the Personal Trainer food delivery service before. It’s great you were able to see immediate results. I’m on the Weight Watchers app (free with my health insurance plan) and I do like the way it makes me think about the food I put into my body. This program you reviewed seems to be similar in that way. Congrats on your successful experience!

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”? 🎃🐈
