If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Hea If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Head Island, RUN to Java Burrito Company 🌯🔥

We ate here yesterday and I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be the best burrito I’ve ever had. I ordered the steak burrito (10/10), and don’t even get me started on the chips + queso… I could’ve eaten 5 baskets 🤣

Everything is super fresh, and you can fully customize your burrito, bowl, tacos, or quesadilla exactly how you want. PLUS they have a full coffee bar, so it’s also one of the best breakfast spots on Hilton Head too ☕️

Yes, there might be a wait… but trust me, it’s 100% worth it.

Save this for your next Hilton Head trip 👇 #hiltonheadfood #hiltonheadfoodie #hiltonheadeats #javaburrito #hiltonhead
One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton Head Island is The Salty Dog Cafe 🌴🐾 It’s one of the most iconic waterfront restaurants on the island, and for good reason!

We biked over for lunch one day (highly recommend doing this if you’re exploring Hilton Head by bike 🚲), and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip. The seafood was incredible, I got the crab legs and they were SO good, but honestly the entire menu looked amazing 🤤

Between the stunning marina views, laid-back coastal vibes, and all the fun gift shops (yes, we grabbed way too much merch 😂), this spot is such a fun experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head or a must-try waterfront dining spot, add this to your list ASAP!

Have you ever been to The Salty Dog Cafe?! 👇#thesaltydog #thesaltydogcafe #hiltonheadeats #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland
Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO wh Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO when you’re visiting! We toured the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse and the views were absolutely unreal—360° panoramic views of the marina, island, and coastline for just $7.50 🙌 Totally worth it!

Afterward, we explored all the cute shops, waterfront restaurants, and watched the massive yachts roll in (honestly could do that all day 😍). If you’re a golf fan, you’ll love that RBC Heritage is right around the corner—we even caught them setting up for it!

Save this for your trip because Harbour Town is one of the best things to do in Hilton Head Island 🌴✨ #harbourtown #harbourtownlighthouse #lighthouse #hiltonhead #thingstodoinhiltonhead
We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton Head this past weekend, and I’m still thinking about it 🤤 It was our very first night on the island, and this spot completely set the tone for the trip!

The atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Coastal, cozy, and the perfect vibe for a special night out ✨

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰

If you’re planning a trip to Hilton Head Island or looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head, you have to add Benny’s to your list! #hiltonheadislandsc #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland #hiltonheadrestaurants #explorehiltonhead

These realistic faux hanging ferns just saved my porch decor AND my energy levels 🙌 I found them at @loweshomeimprovement and I’m officially converted, they look so real without the daily watering, mess, or stress.

As someone with limited energy, switching from real plants to low-maintenance artificial greenery has been a game changer. My porch still feels lush, cozy, and Pinterest-worthy… just without the upkeep 💚

Now I’m curious, are you team real plants 🌱 or team faux plants 🌿?!

Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March doe Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March does. 💛

For me (and millions of women) this is a daily battle, not just a “month.” Chronic pain, endless doctor visits, tests, and constantly fighting just to be heard… it’s exhausting, and it’s real.

This month has been especially hard. So many appointments, so many unknowns, and the emotional toll of advocating for your own health over and over again. Women’s pain deserves to be taken seriously the first time, not after we’ve fought to prove it.

I’ll keep using my voice, no matter how small this platform may feel, to raise awareness for endometriosis, chronic illness, and the realities of women’s healthcare. Because change only happens when we keep speaking up.

April brings a new chapter for me- my surgery is finally coming, and I’m holding onto hope that relief is on the other side. 🤍

But please remember: just because Endometriosis Awareness Month is over doesn’t mean this disease disappears. It affects millions of women every single day.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s keep advocating. And let’s keep fighting for better care. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisfighter

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’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!

Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO wh Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO when you’re visiting! We toured the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse and the views were absolutely unreal—360° panoramic views of the marina, island, and coastline for just $7.50 🙌 Totally worth it!

Afterward, we explored all the cute shops, waterfront restaurants, and watched the massive yachts roll in (honestly could do that all day 😍). If you’re a golf fan, you’ll love that RBC Heritage is right around the corner—we even caught them setting up for it!

Save this for your trip because Harbour Town is one of the best things to do in Hilton Head Island 🌴✨ #harbourtown #harbourtownlighthouse #lighthouse #hiltonhead #thingstodoinhiltonhead
We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton Head this past weekend, and I’m still thinking about it 🤤 It was our very first night on the island, and this spot completely set the tone for the trip!

The atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Coastal, cozy, and the perfect vibe for a special night out ✨

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰

If you’re planning a trip to Hilton Head Island or looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head, you have to add Benny’s to your list! #hiltonheadislandsc #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland #hiltonheadrestaurants #explorehiltonhead

We stayed at @thedraytonhotel which was the PERFECT location for walking everywhere (highly recommend if you’re planning a Savannah trip 👀), and wrapped up the night with dinner at @circa1875savannah 🤌✨

Hot take: we had the BEST time, but as die-hard Charleston lovers… Charleston still has our hearts 💛

You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s tim You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s time to water them 😅🌿

These realistic faux hanging ferns just saved my porch decor AND my energy levels 🙌 I found them at @loweshomeimprovement and I’m officially converted, they look so real without the daily watering, mess, or stress.

As someone with limited energy, switching from real plants to low-maintenance artificial greenery has been a game changer. My porch still feels lush, cozy, and Pinterest-worthy… just without the upkeep 💚

Now I’m curious, are you team real plants 🌱 or team faux plants 🌿?!

Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March doe Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March does. 💛

For me (and millions of women) this is a daily battle, not just a “month.” Chronic pain, endless doctor visits, tests, and constantly fighting just to be heard… it’s exhausting, and it’s real.

This month has been especially hard. So many appointments, so many unknowns, and the emotional toll of advocating for your own health over and over again. Women’s pain deserves to be taken seriously the first time, not after we’ve fought to prove it.

I’ll keep using my voice, no matter how small this platform may feel, to raise awareness for endometriosis, chronic illness, and the realities of women’s healthcare. Because change only happens when we keep speaking up.

April brings a new chapter for me- my surgery is finally coming, and I’m holding onto hope that relief is on the other side. 🤍

But please remember: just because Endometriosis Awareness Month is over doesn’t mean this disease disappears. It affects millions of women every single day.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s keep advocating. And let’s keep fighting for better care. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisfighter

My husband has officially entered his ✨ChatGPT era✨ but instead of using it for work or research, he’s out here editing our cats’ photos like a full-time meme creator 🤣 And honestly? I’m not mad about it. The results are hilarious, way too good, and guaranteed to make my day every single time.

So of course I had to share these edited cat pics with y’all because they’re too funny to keep to myself 😻

Tell me I’m not alone… does anyone else use AI or ChatGPT to edit their pet photos?! 😂👇 #chatgpt4 #chatgptprompts #funnycatvideos #funnycatpics #funnycatsofinstagram

Time to give this old planter a refresh, and I’m OBSESSED with how this bonsai planter makeover turned out 😍 I grabbed everything I needed from @loweshomeimprovement to create this peaceful, zen-inspired plant moment for my porch

There’s just something about spring gardening and getting your hands in the dirt that feels so therapeutic… even if we are still risking a late frost here in NC 😅🌱 But I couldn’t resist starting just a little early

And of course, little Miss Riley had to supervise (aka approve) the final result 🐱💚

If you’re ready to refresh your planters, start your spring garden, or create your own tranquil bonsai setup, this is your sign ✨

Little Miss Riley is fully embracing the warm weather, living her best life as a porch sunbathing queen ☀️ No job, no stress, no responsibilities. Just vibes, naps, and being adorable while everything is handed to her on a silver platter 😻 Honestly… the dream life.

If you’ve ever wished you could trade places with your cat for a day, this is your sign 😂 #orangecats #orangecat #orangeandjobless #orangecatsrule #orangecatsofig

But for real, living with chronic illness, anxiety, and stress can make everyday life feel overwhelming. Sometimes it really does feel like cutting out stress (work, crowds, constant noise) would magically fix everything… right?! 😅

Anyone else feel like their dream wellness plan is just staying home, protecting your peace, and doing life at your own pace? Because same 🙋‍♀️ #chronicillnesslife #spooniesupport #stayathomecatmom #chronicillnesswarrior #spoonieproblems
