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! ♻️

Fall is almost here, which means it’s officially a Fall is almost here, which means it’s officially apple orchard season! 🍎 One of my favorite fall traditions is picking fresh Honeycrisp apples straight from the orchard. There is just nothing better than a crisp, juicy apple on a cool autumn day!

I always stock up because I love freezing fresh apple slices to enjoy all year long. They’re perfect for making these easy Crockpot Cinnamon Apples whenever the craving hits! They’re soft, warm, full of cinnamon flavor, and make the perfect fall side dish, dessert, or sweet snack. Plus, this slow cooker apple recipe couldn’t be easier to make.

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?! 👻

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!

Fall decorating is officially underway over here, but apparently Christmas wanted one last cameo. 🎄😂

The BEST Cat Food For Your Cat

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx on behalf of BLUE Buffalo.

Y’all know that I am a loud and proud cat mom. I mean, I even made my Toby his very own cat room. So that means I want to give my cat the best possible option for nutrition that is out there!

And that’s why we both love BLUE Tastefuls products. It really is the best cat food ever, and as you can see from the photos below, Toby would definitely agree with that!

He really enjoyed trying out all the different flavors and options, and we’re going to let you know just which ones were his favorite to enjoy!

The Best Cat Food
Look at my little cutie! So excited to try his salmon entree here!

Why Choose BLUE Tastefuls

If you are a cat parent too, then you may be wondering why I think BLUE Tastefuls has the best cat food for my cat. Well, I am here to give you all the lists and reasons why!

First of all, REAL meat is the very first ingredient. Either real chicken or real fish is always first. Yes, you read that right! No artificial preservatives or anything like that comes in any of their products.

All the ingredients are healthy and natural with no corn, wheat, or soy. As well as no chicken (or poultry) by-product meals. This is the true BLUE promise.

Plus, cats just go crazy for the taste. Toby literally comes running out of nowhere when he hears me pop open one of these cans!

Toby enjoying a BLUE Tastefuls Ocean Fish and Tuna Entrée.

BLUE Tastefuls cat food really does stand superior to other ordinary cat food brands. They know the tastes that cats love and combine it with flavors that are healthy and natural to help them thrive.

Since they come in over 10 different flavor options, they will win over even the pickiest of eaters. And let me tell you, Toby is pretty picky himself as you will read below!

Toby loves the Flaked options!

BLUE Tastefuls Flavor Options 

You can easily find a multi-pack of assorted flavors at any local grocery store. They also have different styles when it comes to the cat food as well: paté, tender morsels or flaked. Here is a list of the different flavors in the paté pack:

  • Chicken Entrée 
  • Salmon Entrée 
  • Ocean Fish and Tuna Entrée 

And here are the assorted flavors in the flaked pack: 

  • Chicken Entrée in Gravy 
  • Fish and Shrimp Entrée in Gravy 
  • Tuna Entrée in Gravy 
Toby with Cat Food

Toby’s Favorite Flavors

So of course we had to test all the flavors out and Toby wanted to tell you all what his favorite ones were! 

I think his most favorite out of them all was the Fish and Shrimp Entrée in Gravy! I think he liked that one the best because it was the flaked option.

I have only bought him the paté versions before so he had never experienced the flaked ones. And it was a game changer! He gobbled it right up and enjoyed every last bite of it.

The difference between the flaked and the paté is mainly the fact that it has more chunks of food in it. Which is why I think he enjoyed it more. 

Posing with Cat Food

I would say his second favorite was the Salmon Entrée. He is definitely a salmon boy and goes crazy for anything with that flavor. He really liked both the paté and flaked versions.

Toby’s third favorite was the Chicken Entrée in Gravy. He normally doesn’t enjoy anything with a chicken flavor and gravitates more towards anything seafood.

But, BLUE Tastefuls has made him change his mind on that! He still devoured the chicken flavor too and seemed to enjoy it almost as much as the others.

I was very surprised and it just goes to show you the amazing quality of ingredients that they put into their food. 

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a great and healthy option to feed your cat with, then you definitely need to check BLUE Tastefuls out.

They really are the best cat food and I would say that Toby agrees 100% with me. In fact, he’s spoiled now because he no longer wants any other cat food besides this amazing brand!

But, I am definitely okay with that because I know exactly what is in these products and I feel comfortable and safe enough to give it to him without any hesitations or concerns. 

Cats want great taste, and cat parents want a healthy option to provide to them. So with BLUE Tastefuls they bring you both in the convenient little can! Toby loves the taste, and I love the ingredients so it is definitely a win win for us!

Let your cat give it a try too. I promise one taste is all it takes!

Pin for later!

    Hi Charity,

    I love Toby – he reminds me of our last cat, Stella (sadly no longer with us).

    Blue Tastefuls sound like a great option for cat owners – and their cats! Are they USA-only or do they have operations elsewhere, like the UK?

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! ♻️

Fall is almost here, which means it’s officially a Fall is almost here, which means it’s officially apple orchard season! 🍎 One of my favorite fall traditions is picking fresh Honeycrisp apples straight from the orchard. There is just nothing better than a crisp, juicy apple on a cool autumn day!

I always stock up because I love freezing fresh apple slices to enjoy all year long. They’re perfect for making these easy Crockpot Cinnamon Apples whenever the craving hits! They’re soft, warm, full of cinnamon flavor, and make the perfect fall side dish, dessert, or sweet snack. Plus, this slow cooker apple recipe couldn’t be easier to make.

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. 🤍

When I saw this adorable shirt from Pink Lily, I HAD to have it immediately—especially because it pairs perfectly with my “he’s golfing” hat. ⛳️😂

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

Tag your fellow golf wives who totally get it! 👇🏼

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?! 👻

If pressing the “CLOSE DOOR” button the second I g If pressing the “CLOSE DOOR” button the second I get on the elevator so I can avoid small talk is wrong… I don’t want to be right. 😂🙈

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 🤣

Please tell me I’m not the only introvert who does this?! 👀

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!

Apparently, this little Christmas decoration has b Apparently, this little Christmas decoration has been hanging out in here ALL YEAR and I just never noticed it. 🤣

Tell me I’m not the only one who does this?! I swear every time I switch out my seasonal home decor, I find at least ONE random piece from months ago that somehow survived the decor rotation. 😂

Fall decorating is officially underway over here, but apparently Christmas wanted one last cameo. 🎄😂

Please tell me I’m not alone! 👇🏼
