Stop throwing away your pretty candle jars! 🕯️ He Stop throwing away your pretty candle jars! 🕯️

Here’s the easiest hack for removing leftover candle wax from antique jars, mugs, and vintage vessels so you can reuse them! 🤍

I found this adorable antique candle from Antique Candle Co., and one of my favorite things about it is that once the candle is finished, you can repurpose the vintage vessel instead of throwing it away.

Here’s how I remove the leftover wax:

🕯️ Pour boiling water into the candle vessel
🕯️ Let it sit for several hours until the wax solidifies and floats to the top
🕯️ Scoop out the hardened wax (I save mine to use in my wax warmer!)
🕯️ Remove the leftover sticky wick with a little Goo Gone
🕯️ Wash the vessel thoroughly and you’re done!

Such an easy candle jar cleaning hack and the perfect way to upcycle antique jars, vintage candle vessels, and pretty containers into something you can actually use again! ♻️

Have you tried this candle wax removal hack before?!

Y’all, I am SO tired of this 😩💔 I woke up this mor Y’all, I am SO tired of this 😩💔 I woke up this morning not feeling great, but like I always do, I tried to push through it. I was sitting at my laptop doing a little work when suddenly my hands started shaking so badly that I couldn’t control what I was doing. My HR spiked up to 180 and I threw up as well. And honestly? I’m frustrated, scared, and completely exhausted from not knowing WHY this is happening.

I finally got my MRI results back on Friday, and fortunately (but also unfortunately), they didn’t find anything major. And I’ll admit it… I bawled. 😭

Of course I don’t want something seriously wrong with me. But at the same time, I desperately want a diagnosis. I want answers. After dealing with unexplained symptoms for so long, getting “normal” test results can almost feel like another dead end.

My neurologist had mentioned the possibility of Chiari malformation, so I honestly thought that might finally explain some of my symptoms. Now that the MRI didn’t show that, I feel like I’m back at square one.

Because this isn’t normal. 😩

What am I supposed to do for work when my hands are shaking like this?! I was working as a dental hygienist, and can you imagine trying to clean someone’s teeth while your hands are trembling uncontrollably? It’s terrifying to even think about.
My short-term disability still hasn’t been approved either, so I’m sitting here wondering what I’m supposed to do next while my health and career feel completely uncertain.

I have another appointment with my doctor on Friday, so I’m trying to remind myself that this is just another step in the process. But it feels like it’s been nothing but waiting for appointments, waiting for tests, waiting for results… and still no answers.

This has truly been the hardest season of my life.

I’m trying so hard to trust God through all of this, even when I don’t understand what He’s doing. 🙏🏻 It’s just really hard when you don’t know what your future, your health, or even your career is going to look like.

So if you’ve been following along through this health journey, please keep praying that I finally get some answers. 🤍

At this point, I might as well make being a golf wife my entire personality, right?! 🤣

When I spotted these plain little white ceramic gh When I spotted these plain little white ceramic ghosts at the Target Dollar Spot, I knew they had SO much potential! Instead of leaving them plain, I gave them a quick makeover and turned them into the cutest antiqued gold Halloween decor that looks way more expensive than it actually is! 🙌

Here’s how I did it:

👻 First, I sprayed the ceramic ghosts with black spray paint.
✨ Then I lightly layered metallic gold spray paint over the top. I didn’t want them super shiny—I was going for that aged, antique gold pottery look.
🖤 Finally, I used a little black acrylic paint to make their eyes stand out more.

And that’s it! Such an easy DIY Halloween decor makeover, and I think they turned out ADORABLE! 🥹

I love finding inexpensive Target Dollar Spot finds and giving them a high-end look with a little DIY magic.

Would you believe these started as plain white ghosts from Target?! 👻

No offense… I just need to ride this elevator in peace and silence 🤣

My Honest Review of Tayst Coffee

I got one of the best Christmas presents right before Christmas this year and I had to share with y’all all about it. I got a whole gift box full of delicious coffee from Tayst Coffee!

I am so excited to be able to partner with this amazing company and tell you a little more about them! Keep on reading to see how amazing and eco-friendly this coffee company is.

Plus, I have a great coupon code for you to use too if you choose to order some coffee through them as well!

How cute is their little camper mug too?!

About Tayst Coffee

Tayst coffee is the first of its kind to offer eco friendly and compostable coffee pods in a subscription box form. Each pod is made from superior beans and provides a consistent and delicious brew each time.

Each pod is also made from bio based materials that reduces all the plastic waste cluttering our landfills today.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Our Revolutionary Pod

Tayst pods are 100% compostable! This means they actually give back fertile nutrients to the soil as they decompose. Other pods are made with petroleum- based plastics while ours is made from compressed corn starch combined with a bio-resin that is completely biodegradable, and safe for the planet.

They only select the finest coffee beans and choose carefully from farmers and communities throughout the Rainforest Alliance.

Which this organization works specifically with coffee farmers to improve the well being and overall health of their community.

Our beans do more than save the planet, but they help support the communities that grow them by being Rainforest Alliance Certified. Coffee farms or groups of smallholder farmers that earn the Rainforest Alliance CertifiedTM seal are audited annually against a rigorous standard. This certification promotes decent living and working conditions for workers, gender equality and access to education for children in farm communities by providing living wages, allowing farmers to earn enough income to afford beyond the bare necessities, including managing their farms. Click the link to learn more about being Rainforest Alliance Certified: https://www.rainforest-allianc…

The Different Flavors of Tayst Coffee

  • Bold & Brazen
    • Deep and rich flavor with hints of cocoa. Very smooth and non acidic.
  • Bold & Brilliant
    • Dark mocha flavor with hints of black currants. Rich and bold with a nice smooth finish.
  • Medium & Heroic
    • Vanilla sweetness with a hint of almond. Slight crisp apple notes with a winey finish as well.
  • Medium & Magnificent
    • Flavors of citrus zest with roasted hazelnut and caramel along with a black pepper finish.
  • Vintage Vanilla Cream
    • Vanilla undertones with caramel notes and a light and smooth finish.
  • Definitely Decaf
    • Swiss water decaf that is deep and rich with smokey notes to it.
  • Happy Hazelnut
    • Rich and buttery flavor with a full body aroma. Toasty creamy finish as well.
Winter Coffee Bar
I definitely need a monthly coffee subscription since I have a coffee bar in my home!

How To Order Tayst Coffee

When you go on their website, they will ask you about how many cups of coffee you drink per day. Then, they will give you the best subscription choice based on your answer.

It goes anywhere from 30 cups a month (which is only $22) all the way up to 150 cups a month (which is $99).

Now, I don’t think I need a 150 pods of coffee for myself a month, but this would be a great option for a business or company to do for their employees too!

Their most popular subscription box is 50 cups for only $35 monthly. And the cool thing is you can customize and choose which flavors of Tayst coffee you want in your subscription box as well.

If all this sounds delicious to you too and you are ready to join the Tayst Coffee family, then I have great news for you!

You can use my code “CharityG25” to save 25% off your subscription box! I mean I don’t know how it can get any better.

Discounted coffee delivered straight to your door! I never want to run out of coffee so I love the idea of it being delivered to me monthly.

That way I never have to worry about running low, or remembering to pick it up at the grocery store. The less things I can add on my list, the better! Click here if you’re ready to order!

Tayst Coffee on Tiered Tray
This glass container to put your Tayst coffee pods in is super cute as well. Looks so perfect on my tiered tray!

Conclusion

I have had the pleasure of trying all of their delicious coffee flavors and I have come to the conclusion that Tayst Coffee is now my favorite coffee brand!

I am a huge coffee snob, y’all know this because I have my very own coffee bar in my home too. And I used to be obsessed with Starbucks K-Cups.

But, after trying this coffee, I don’t think I can ever go back. I also love how I am doing my part to help the environment out with this brand as well.

Have you ever tried Tayst before?? If not, you are missing out! You should definitely order you some today and see what you think!

    I love how many companies are moving towards compostable pods. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t a fan of the convenience of our Keurig, however, I can’t bring myself to buy the standard pods. For the longest time, we were using a reusable pod with regular ground coffee. However, as we see more compostable options, we’re starting to venture out and try other varieties more!

Stop throwing away your pretty candle jars! 🕯️ He Stop throwing away your pretty candle jars! 🕯️

Here’s the easiest hack for removing leftover candle wax from antique jars, mugs, and vintage vessels so you can reuse them! 🤍

I found this adorable antique candle from Antique Candle Co., and one of my favorite things about it is that once the candle is finished, you can repurpose the vintage vessel instead of throwing it away.

Here’s how I remove the leftover wax:

🕯️ Pour boiling water into the candle vessel
🕯️ Let it sit for several hours until the wax solidifies and floats to the top
🕯️ Scoop out the hardened wax (I save mine to use in my wax warmer!)
🕯️ Remove the leftover sticky wick with a little Goo Gone
🕯️ Wash the vessel thoroughly and you’re done!

Such an easy candle jar cleaning hack and the perfect way to upcycle antique jars, vintage candle vessels, and pretty containers into something you can actually use again! ♻️

Have you tried this candle wax removal hack before?!

Y’all, I am SO tired of this 😩💔 I woke up this mor Y’all, I am SO tired of this 😩💔 I woke up this morning not feeling great, but like I always do, I tried to push through it. I was sitting at my laptop doing a little work when suddenly my hands started shaking so badly that I couldn’t control what I was doing. My HR spiked up to 180 and I threw up as well. And honestly? I’m frustrated, scared, and completely exhausted from not knowing WHY this is happening.

I finally got my MRI results back on Friday, and fortunately (but also unfortunately), they didn’t find anything major. And I’ll admit it… I bawled. 😭

Of course I don’t want something seriously wrong with me. But at the same time, I desperately want a diagnosis. I want answers. After dealing with unexplained symptoms for so long, getting “normal” test results can almost feel like another dead end.

My neurologist had mentioned the possibility of Chiari malformation, so I honestly thought that might finally explain some of my symptoms. Now that the MRI didn’t show that, I feel like I’m back at square one.

Because this isn’t normal. 😩

What am I supposed to do for work when my hands are shaking like this?! I was working as a dental hygienist, and can you imagine trying to clean someone’s teeth while your hands are trembling uncontrollably? It’s terrifying to even think about.
My short-term disability still hasn’t been approved either, so I’m sitting here wondering what I’m supposed to do next while my health and career feel completely uncertain.

I have another appointment with my doctor on Friday, so I’m trying to remind myself that this is just another step in the process. But it feels like it’s been nothing but waiting for appointments, waiting for tests, waiting for results… and still no answers.

This has truly been the hardest season of my life.

I’m trying so hard to trust God through all of this, even when I don’t understand what He’s doing. 🙏🏻 It’s just really hard when you don’t know what your future, your health, or even your career is going to look like.

So if you’ve been following along through this health journey, please keep praying that I finally get some answers. 🤍

At this point, I might as well make being a golf wife my entire personality, right?! 🤣

When I spotted these plain little white ceramic gh When I spotted these plain little white ceramic ghosts at the Target Dollar Spot, I knew they had SO much potential! Instead of leaving them plain, I gave them a quick makeover and turned them into the cutest antiqued gold Halloween decor that looks way more expensive than it actually is! 🙌

Here’s how I did it:

👻 First, I sprayed the ceramic ghosts with black spray paint.
✨ Then I lightly layered metallic gold spray paint over the top. I didn’t want them super shiny—I was going for that aged, antique gold pottery look.
🖤 Finally, I used a little black acrylic paint to make their eyes stand out more.

And that’s it! Such an easy DIY Halloween decor makeover, and I think they turned out ADORABLE! 🥹

I love finding inexpensive Target Dollar Spot finds and giving them a high-end look with a little DIY magic.

Would you believe these started as plain white ghosts from Target?! 👻

I’m just THAT introverted. 🤣 My social battery has a daily limit, and sometimes I’ve already hit my maximum number of conversations before I even get to where I’m going. 😅

No offense… I just need to ride this elevator in peace and silence 🤣

It’s officially been ONE FULL YEAR since my health It’s officially been ONE FULL YEAR since my health started spiraling. 💔

A year ago today, I was at work when my heart rate suddenly spiked so high that I became extremely dizzy and shaky and genuinely thought I was going to pass out. I went to the ER afterward just to be safe, and of course… everything looked “normal.” My EKG was normal. They could see that my heart rate had spiked, but they couldn’t tell me why.

Little did I know that one scary episode would turn into a daily battle with unexplained symptoms. Fast forward one year and I’m dealing with even worse symptoms, including frequent heart rate spikes, dizziness, shakiness/tremors, fatigue, and so much more. And the hardest part? I STILL DON’T HAVE ANSWERS.

I can’t even work anymore. I’ve spent months waiting for appointments, getting test after test, waiting for results, and hoping that this will finally be the thing that explains what’s happening… only to end up with more questions.

And honestly? I feel crazy sometimes. Not because I think this is all in my head, but because it’s incredibly hard to keep telling people how badly you feel when test after test doesn’t give you an answer. 😭

It’s been a really rough week emotionally, and I’m having a hard time dealing with all of this. I feel like I’m constantly taking one step forward and two steps back. How long am I going to have to wait before I finally have answers? How much longer until I can start feeling like myself and actually live my life again?

I’m so tired of waiting. I’m tired of being passed from appointment to appointment. I’m tired of having no real help in the meantime. And I’m tired of feeling like I have to fight so hard just to be heard. 💔 I’m trying so hard to let go, trust God, and believe that there’s a reason for all of this… but y’all, IS IT HARD. 😢

I’m praying that after this past year, I’m finally getting closer to some answers. Until then, I’m just taking it one day at a time. If you’re also living with unexplained symptoms, chronic illness, POTS symptoms, tremors, dizziness, heart rate spikes, or a long diagnostic journey, please know you’re not alone. ❤️Here’s to hoping year two looks very different from year one!

Y’all, I’m asking for some extra prayers today. ❤️ Y’all, I’m asking for some extra prayers today. ❤️ Today is finally MRI day. They’re checking my brain and my cervical and lumbar spine, and I’m praying this is one step closer to finally getting some answers about what’s been going on with me.

At this point, they’re looking into possibilities like Chiari malformation, MS, or something else entirely. And honestly… I have no idea what these MRIs are going to show.

I think one of the scariest parts is the possibility that they could come back “normal” and I’ll STILL have no answers. Because when you’ve been dealing with symptoms for so long, you almost start questioning yourself and wondering, “Am I actually crazy?” 😜

I obviously don’t want them to find anything serious, but at the same time, I NEED them to find something that can explain why I’ve been feeling the way I have. If you’ve ever been stuck in that horrible limbo of “I know something is wrong, but I don’t know what”, you know exactly what I mean.

So today I’m praying for clear answers, good news, and hopefully a diagnosis and treatment plan that can finally help me move forward. 🙏🏼 And I’m REALLY hoping I don’t have to wait forever for those MRI results either because the waiting is absolutely brutal.

It’s been such a stressful and exhausting journey, and I’m just ready to get this part OVER WITH. 😭

If you’re the praying kind, I’d appreciate one today. ❤️ And if you’ve been following along through all of this, thank you for being here. It means more than you know.

Now excuse me while I romanticize my fall coffee station and pretend everything is fine. 😂☕️🍁
