In case you didn’t know… Shark Week is the safest week to go to the beach because all the sharks are away on TV right now, so there’s absolutely no chance of getting bitten. (Don’t fact-check me. 🤣)

Looks like we accidentally picked the perfect week to visit Dirty Myrtle! 🌊☀️

Who’s heading to Myrtle Beach this summer? And be honest… are you team “I’ll still get in the ocean” or team “I’ll admire it from the sand”? 😂

I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Bea I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Beach! There’s just something about watching the sun melt into the ocean while the breeze hits your face that makes you forget about life’s chaos for a little while.

And honestly? I needed that.

With everything that’s been going on lately, this was exactly the reset my heart needed. For a couple of hours, all I had to worry about was whether I wanted another drink and if we were going to see dolphins. 😂

So yes… call it Dirty Myrtle all you want, but she gave me gorgeous sunsets, peaceful ocean views, and memories I’ll be replaying long after vacation is over.

Now excuse me while I spend the next six months trying to convince my husband we need to move somewhere that has sunsets like this every night. 🤣

Who’s team Dirty Myrtle… and who’s still refusing to admit it’s actually kind of fun? 👇🏻😉

I’ve gone back and forth about posting this because I never want this page to become all about my health. I love sharing recipes, DIYs, home projects, gardening, and all the things that bring me joy. But I also want this space to be real, and right now, this is part of my reality.

I also wanted to remind everyone that social media is often a highlight reel. Most of the content you see from me was planned and scheduled on days when I felt well enough to create.

Mine is literally hanging on by one tiny corner (like 90% detached 🤢), and I can’t decide if I should just pull it off or leave it alone. The problem is it hurts every time I put on socks or shoes because it keeps catching and tugging. 😩

This actually happened to me years ago after wearing cowboy booties in Nashville that rubbed my pinky toes raw, and I ended up losing both pinky toenails. They eventually grew back completely normal, so I’m so confused why it’s happening again.

I haven’t stubbed my toe, I haven’t had a pedicure in over 6 weeks, and I’ve mostly been living in sandals all summer with my usual tennis shoes. So what in the world would make a toenail suddenly start falling off? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Should I just go ahead and pull it off since it’s barely attached, or leave it alone and let it come off on its own? Tell me what you would do because I’m officially accepting all the toenail advice I can get. 😂

And at this point, I guess my body has decided to rebel from the top of my head all the way down to my toenails. 🫠🤣 #toes #toenails #pinkytoe #pinkytoes #toenail

Please tell me I’m not the only one! I’m only 33, but lately I cannot sleep to save my life. Between tossing, turning, and staring at the ceiling, my Kindle and a cup of tea have basically become my nightly routine.

I’ve also read that women with endometriosis may experience symptoms associated with perimenopause earlier than average, and honestly… as if endometriosis hasn’t put us through enough already. 😅

At this point, I’m about ready to start a Late Night Book Club for all the insomnia and perimenopause girlies because apparently none of us are sleeping anyway. 📚☕️😂

So tell me… are you dealing with insomnia, perimenopause symptoms, endometriosis, or all of the above? And most importantly, what has actually helped you sleep? Drop your tips below because your girl is desperate. 💛

Spooky Scary Halloween Recipes

Today I thought it would be fun to share a roundup of all my spooky scary Halloween recipes, since the holiday is coming up so soon! Now in reality, they aren’t really scary at all.

But, definitely on theme. So if you’re hosting a Halloween party, these recipes would be perfect for you! Whether you’re looking for a Halloween dessert or sweet treat, or even a Halloween dinner, I’ve got you covered with some spooky cute ideas!

I can’t believe how quickly Halloween is approaching either! Although, I am lowkey fine with it since Christmas is my all time favorite and I actually plan on putting my Christmas tree up on Halloween anyway!

Lol but if you’re celebrating this spooky season and getting into the Halloween spirit, you’ve got to check out all these great ideas and easy recipes below!

This post also contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission off anything you purchase through here, at no additional cost to you. Please read my full Disclosure policy for more details.

Mummy Dogs

These mummy dogs would make the perfect creepy appetizers for your spooky party! All you need to do to make them is either wrap some corn dogs or hot dogs in some crescent roll dough in a creative way to create a mummified look.

I also added some candy eyes to make it even more fun as well. Be sure to click on the link above for the full recipe and instructions, but these mummy dogs are one of the best Halloween-themed snacks around!

Finished Mummy Dogs

Spooky Chicken Pot Pie

This spooky chicken pot pie is just like regular chicken pot pie, but so much fun! I created bats for the top of the pie using Halloween cookie cutters and leftover pie dough. And I loved how it turned out. This would definitely make the perfect Halloween dinner for sure! 

Finished Spooky Crust on Pot Pie

Halloween Dessert Charcuterie Board

Now, for the fun stuff- all the Halloween treats! I made a fun Halloween dessert charcuterie board a few years ago and this is especially perfect for a party.

Close Up of Cookies

You can fill it up with all sorts of themed goodies for the holiday. Such as candy corns, gummy worms, witch finger cookies, and little candies. Which means it’s always a big hit because not only does it look fun and festive, but tastes amazing as well!

Chocolate and Candy Charcuterie Boards

This also would look perfect on dessert tables at parties too. That way, guests can easily grab whatever they want from the board too. 

Fall Dessert Charcuterie Boards

Iced Halloween Sugar Cookies

If you know me, then you know I love to make my iced sugar cookies at Christmastime. But, I thought, why not make them for every other holiday too?! Thus, my iced Halloween cookies recipe was born! These would definitely make a fun addition to the dessert table.

Or you could even have them all baked and ready to go, but have your party guests decorate them however they want. That would be a perfect time for kids and even adults to enjoy decorating cookies while at a fun party! 

Decorated Halloween Cookies

Ghost Cupcakes

How fun and festive are these ghost cupcakes?! Devil’s food cake topped with cream cheese frosting and eyeball sprinkles to create a ghostlike appearance! They turned out so cute and they definitely taste so delicious too!

Halloween Crack Candy

This Halloween Crack Candy is my newest addition to my festive Halloween recipes. And the good news is that it is super easy to make! And it can be made in advance too because you can store the candy in the freezer until time to use it. So it would be perfect for party prep! 

Halloween Crack Candy

Leftover Halloween Candy Cookies 

I made these leftover Halloween candy cookies last year for the first time and they did not disappoint! It’s a great way to reuse all your leftover Halloween candy, that is if you don’t eat it all first! Or, you could get candy specifically for this recipe because it is that good! Trust me, you will want to try these as well!

Enjoy These Spooky Scary Halloween Recipes!

Well, I hope all these recipes gave you some great Halloween food ideas to make this year. And trust me, your next Halloween party will be a big hit if you incorporate some of these spooky recipes into the mix.

Not only are they super fun, but they all taste amazing too! I can vouch for that, seeing as how I love to eat any seasonal treat! If you make any of these recipes, let me know how they go for you! And I hope you all have a happy and safe Halloween my friends!

Tell me… would your cat hype you up or totally roast you?👇🏻 If you don’t think so, use my code “MACEDONIA” to get $10 off a cat bed for your furry friend too! 😻

My husband has been really into golf lately, which apparently means it’s now his mission to teach me how to play. The only problem? I’m not totally convinced he’s qualified for the job. 🤣

What do y’all think… should I trust his golf lessons or find a new coach? 😂

Then again, I probably shouldn’t be talking because I’m terrible at mini golf too. If I can’t even survive a game of putt-putt, I don’t know what chance I have on a real golf course. 😅

Tell me… is your spouse always trying to teach you their favorite hobby too, or is it just mine? ⛳️😂

Y’all… I need some advice. 😅 Has anyone ever had t Y’all… I need some advice. 😅 Has anyone ever had their pinky toenail almost completely fall off for absolutely no reason?

Mine is literally hanging on by one tiny corner (like 90% detached 🤢), and I can’t decide if I should just pull it off or leave it alone. The problem is it hurts every time I put on socks or shoes because it keeps catching and tugging. 😩

This actually happened to me years ago after wearing cowboy booties in Nashville that rubbed my pinky toes raw, and I ended up losing both pinky toenails. They eventually grew back completely normal, so I’m so confused why it’s happening again.

I haven’t stubbed my toe, I haven’t had a pedicure in over 6 weeks, and I’ve mostly been living in sandals all summer with my usual tennis shoes. So what in the world would make a toenail suddenly start falling off? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Should I just go ahead and pull it off since it’s barely attached, or leave it alone and let it come off on its own? Tell me what you would do because I’m officially accepting all the toenail advice I can get. 😂

And at this point, I guess my body has decided to rebel from the top of my head all the way down to my toenails. 🫠🤣 #toes #toenails #pinkytoe #pinkytoes #toenail

Although… when you already deal with chronic GI issues every day, would you even notice the difference? 🤣

Any other gardeners having a rough harvest this year, or is it just me? 🌿🍅🥒

Please tell me I’m not the only one! I’m only 33, but lately I cannot sleep to save my life. Between tossing, turning, and staring at the ceiling, my Kindle and a cup of tea have basically become my nightly routine.

I’ve also read that women with endometriosis may experience symptoms associated with perimenopause earlier than average, and honestly… as if endometriosis hasn’t put us through enough already. 😅

At this point, I’m about ready to start a Late Night Book Club for all the insomnia and perimenopause girlies because apparently none of us are sleeping anyway. 📚☕️😂

So tell me… are you dealing with insomnia, perimenopause symptoms, endometriosis, or all of the above? And most importantly, what has actually helped you sleep? Drop your tips below because your girl is desperate. 💛
