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’m so ready for crisp fall mornings, cozy evenings, pumpkin everything, fall baking, candlelight, sweaters, and all the cozy autumn vibes. There’s just something magical about this season that makes home feel even cozier.

Traveling with a chronic illness definitely takes a little more planning, but it’s worth it to make the memories. 💛

Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️ Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️

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 share more in the carousel, but after meeting with my primary care provider last week, I’ll now be having MRIs of both my brain and my spine/back to hopefully get closer to some answers. While Chiari malformation is still a possibility, my doctor also wants to rule out other neurological conditions, like Multiple Sclerosis. Hearing that was incredibly overwhelming, and if I’m being honest, this past week has been one of the hardest mentally.

The waiting is exhausting. Waiting for appointments, waiting for tests, waiting for results… it feels like my life has been on pause while I wait to find out what’s causing all of these symptoms.

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. What you don’t see are the tears, the fear, the doctor’s appointments, the nights spent worrying, or the mental toll that comes with living in the unknown.

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this post, it’s this: please be kind. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind the scenes. Invisible illnesses are just that- invisible.

And if you’re walking through your own health journey right now, I want you to know you’re not alone. This community has been such a source of comfort for me, and I’m so thankful for every message, prayer, and encouraging word you’ve sent my way. They truly mean more than you know. ❤️

If you pray, I’d really appreciate your prayers as I move through this next round of testing. I’m holding onto hope that we’ll finally get some answers. 🤍

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

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. 📚☕️😂

The Best Colostrum Brand

For a couple of months now, I have been taking powdered colostrum. Which when I first heard about it, I had no idea really what it was. I was seeing it all over Instagram and my social media. So I decided to research it more and determine why I should started taking it. As well as what the best colostrum brand is.

And after researching, and trying it out myself, I am happy to report that I have came up with the answer! If you’re curious about colostrum and want to know more information, then be sure to check out my post below.

I will be explaining all the benefits to taking colostrum daily and why you should add it into your daily routine too. You may remember I mentioned colostrum back in my post about hair loss a few weeks ago too.

And not only does it benefit your hair, but much, much more too! So definitely keep on reading to find out more about my favorite colostrum products! 

ARMRA

Full disclosure, I am not a healthcare provider or registered dietitian, so please consult your medical providers before taking any kind of new supplement to make sure it is right for you! 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 privacy policy for more details.

What Is The Best Colostrum Brand?

If you already read my post I mentioned above, then you know I highly recommend ARMRA Colostrum. In my opinion, this brand has worked wonders for me and I have enjoyed taking it. So for this post, I will be talking purely about ARMRA’s colostrum and ways it can benefit you too! ARMRA is nature’s first bioactive whole food bovine colostrum that is uniquely optimized for human health too!  

What Exactly Is Colostrum?

Colostrum is actually a dairy food produced by all mammals within the first 48-72 hours after giving birth. It is the first form of milk that a baby can receive. 

You may have heard of it being referred to as “liquid gold”. Since it is the very first nutrition we receive in life and contains everything else we need to survive and thrive too.

Current research shows that colostrum provides the vital functions of protecting and strengthening the mucosal barriers of newborns. And it activates physiologic pathways at the cellular level as well.

ARMRA colostrum contains over 400 active bioactive nutrients which in turn provides protective antibodies, whole food prebiotics, free amino acids, strengthening peptides, immunoglobulins, trace minerals, tissue growth factors, adaptogens, tissue growth factors, mitochondrial regenerators, antioxidants, and other supportive compounds to name a few!

All of these active ingredients act like a blueprint for the body which in turn helps cellular regeneration and repair. As you can see, it is definitely not just regular cow’s milk. 

ARMRA Scoop

The ARMRA Revival 

We all know that stress, pollutants, toxins, chemicals, medications, nutrient deficiencies, and so much more can damage and affect our bodies.

And in fact more than 90,000 new chemicals have been introduced to the public ever since the 1970s. And do you know how much of them have been tested for safety?! Only 1%!!

So no wonder that modern living damages the mucosal barrier. But thankfully, ARMRA Colostrum™ can help build it back! Continue reading to see how this pure bovine colostrum can help in so many different ways!

The Barrier 

The gut barrier is actually composed of 4 layers:

1. Gut Cell Barrier 

2. Mucous Layer

3. Microbiome

4. Immune Cells and Antibodies 

To have a healthy mucosal barrier means to have it in balance. Allowing the body to absorb all the essential nutrients, but also keeping out all the unhealthy substances we can take in just from breathing, eating, and drinking.

All the items mentioned above can cause this barrier to become more penetrable, which in turn makes it easier for the harmful particles to get inside our bodies. Which includes bacteria, mold, viruses, allergens, and environmental toxins.

All these exposures can make us ill, but also cause the immune system to activate and inappropriately trigger inflammation. In turn, this leads to so many modern health issues.

Such as allergies, weight gain, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, bloating, mental fog, sleep disturbances, anxiety, depression, and so much more!

But again, ARMRA is formulated to help your body build back a better barrier and support a healthy microbiome.

The Best Colostrum
I love adding the unflavored colostrum into my morning iced coffee!

Benefits Of ARMA Colostrum

By taking ARMRA daily, you can experience so many beneficial effects to your body. Antibodies can strengthen your immune system and optimize cellular health for whole body benefits. I will list some of the key potential benefits and side effects below for you as well.

Fortify Gut Health

If you struggle with boosting like I do, then this product is a lifesaver for you. I always tend to have bloating and digestive tract issues due to my endometriosis.

Sometimes, it doesn’t even matter what I eat, I could have the healthiest diet ever and still feel bloated in the evenings.

So by taking this daily, it has greatly improved this issue for me. ARMA fortifies your entire gut wall, optimizes your microbiome, and strengthens the gut wall. Which in turn blocks out all the irritants that can cause uncomfortable bloating and constipation. 

Strengthen Immunity

I tend to always get sick around the holidays. I joke and say that it’s time for my “Christmas cold”. And working in people’s mouths all day (in case you didn’t know- I’m a registered dental hygienist!) doesn’t seem to help my immune system.

Especially if they come in sick with a cold too. So I was desperate to try something that actually worked and helped strengthen my immune system. I’ve taken all the “immune gummies” and supplements before, but nothing seemed to work for me.

Until I started this. I have been around sick people and have thankfully, not caught anything here recently. And especially heading into the dreaded cold and flu season, I wanted my immune system to be strong and impenetrable!

Since ARMRA strengthens your immune barriers, it blocks out all the unwanted toxins that can come in and weaken the immune system. Keeping you strong and healthy!  

Ignite Metabolism 

All the toxins that enter into your body through a weakened gut barrier can cause a slower metabolism and inflammation.

Taking colostrum can help you absorb more nutrients, support balanced blood sugar levels, and modulates horomones. Such as leptin, which is a fat burning trigger that can boost your peak metabolic performance. 

Improve Mood, Energy, and Focus

​If you want to feel clear and focused throughout the day, you should definitely start taking this! Gut health and brain health are directly related so by taking colostrum, you are supporting the production of hormones like serotonin and GABA.

Which in turn promotes the health of your brain cells. This ultimately translates into improved mood, mental clarity, and clean energy. Which you can experience without a caffeine crash!

The Best Colostrum Brand
You can make several yummy mocktails with the different flavors of colostrum too!

Restore Sleep

ARMRA helps to balance out your cardiac rhythm. Since ARMRA helps revive microbiome health, it in turn fuels synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters that are essential for regulating the sleep cycle.

For example, like melatonin, which when produced at the gut wall is 400x higher than in the brain. 

Support Sinus Health

By taking ARMRA, you can focus on feeling your best all year round! This supplement can seal and strengthen the immune barriers for your nasal passages, sinuses, and lungs!

These barriers can in turn block out all the allergens entering your body and triggering symptoms. This is definitely a must during peak allergy season! Get your immune health back in shape by taking ARMRA daily! 

Enhance Skin Radiance 

Of course you know that glowing skin begins from within. And by taking ARMRA you can get strong anti-inflammatory benefits with prebiotics, antioxidants, vitamins, growth factors, and regenerative peptides that actually help to reverse age-related changes.

Also, helps active collagen production, enhance skin radiance, and strengthen the skin barrier. Which ultimately protects against toxins and UV light damage. 

Activate Hair Growth 

You may remember this from my telogen effluvium hair loss post, but this was one of the main reasons I actually started taking colostrum supplementation.

When you experience hair loss, you are willing to try out anything and everything to reverse it. And luckily for me, not only has my hair improved drastically, but I am experiencing all these other amazing benefits as well.

Studies have shown that ARMRA helps reactive hair follicle stem cells and supports the hair microbiome. Which combats hair loss by reversing the inflammation and blocking chemical damage to the hair follicle. 

Fuel Performance and Recovery 

If you’re into working out and training, taking a colostrum powder is something you should also consider. Preliminary research has shown that taking colostrum can give you up to a 20% improvement in fitness strength, stamina, and endurance.

It’s also been shown that it can decrease your recovery time after exercise to up to 50% as well. By taking colostrum daily, it can enhance nutrient absorption, stop inflammation, and fuel cellular regeneration with peptides, growth factors, and functional nutrients for your best athletic performance yet!

By taking this supplement, you can harness all the strength, recovery support, and mobility that even the most professional athletes have. 

How To Take ARMRA Colostrum

This high-quality supplement is in powder form, which makes it easy to add into many different drinks, smoothies, yogurt, etc. ARMRA Immune Revival is available in several different flavors as well.

I would say the most common one would be their unflavored jar. Even though it states it is unflavored, I think if you add it to just plain water, it kind of makes for a milky fluid. Which isn’t bad, but I do think there is a slight flavor there.

ARMRA Mocktail

I like using this one in my iced coffees, or my pre-workout that I drink. If you add it into something that is already flavored, then you really don’t notice it. And you always want to add it into some kind of cold beverage.

Adding colostrum into something with high heat can damage all the bioactive compounds and whole foods in the product and not be as effective. They also have different flavors such as blood orange, watermelon, and peach (seasonal).

I have tried the blood orange too and really like that one as well. It tastes delicious in regular water, or you can even add it into recipes to make a mocktail with it too! 

ARMRA Mocktail Recipe

Enjoy The Variety Of Health Benefits From Taking Colostrum

​Well, as you can see from all the recent research above, as far as dietary supplements go, ARMRA Colostrum is definitely one of the best!

Who doesn’t want their immune response and immune function to be top notch as we are about to enter cold and flu season?! I know I sure do.

And after reviewing the best colostrum supplements, I think ARMRA is definitely a solid choice. It’s a reputable brand with a very high-quality product so you can easily add this into your daily wellness routine.

And good news for you- you can use my code “Charity” to get 15% off your first order with ARMRA Colostrum! I promise you will love all the gut health benefits and everything else you receive just from taking it daily.

Have you ever tried taking a colostrum supplement like this? Or do you yourself take ARMRA too?! I’d love to hear how you take it below too. Let me know if you have any good mocktail recipes for it! I love trying new ones out!

Can you believe we’re only 6 weeks away from the ’ Can you believe we’re only 6 weeks away from the ’ber months?! 🍂 September, October, November, and December are hands-down my favorite time of year!

Don’t get me wrong, I love summer… but I wouldn’t complain if it was about 15 degrees cooler instead of feeling like we’re melting every day. 😂

I’m so ready for crisp fall mornings, cozy evenings, pumpkin everything, fall baking, candlelight, sweaters, and all the cozy autumn vibes. There’s just something magical about this season that makes home feel even cozier.

Who’s already counting down to fall 2026 with me? 🍁👇 Are you team summer or team ’ber months?

Before I can even think about swimsuits and cute o Before I can even think about swimsuits and cute outfits, I have to make sure every medication, supplement, electrolyte packet, and “just in case” item makes it into my bag. Then I mentally go through my checklist about 50 times before we leave because forgetting one thing could completely change the trip.

Traveling with a chronic illness definitely takes a little more planning, but it’s worth it to make the memories. 💛

Now if only I could get a vacation from all the vacation packing. 😂

Anyone else with a chronic illness feel like packing is the most stressful part of traveling? ✈️💊 Let me know I’m not alone!

Styling a decorative tray for fall doesn’t have to Styling a decorative tray for fall doesn’t have to be complicated. 🍂🕯️

One of my favorite fall decorating tips is to simply shop my own home first! I gather a few cozy pieces I already own, add a small pumpkin or seasonal accent, and always finish the look with one (or two 😉) Antique Candle Co. candles. Nothing makes a home feel more like cozy fall decor than the warm glow of candlelight and the scent of crisp autumn mornings.

If you’ve been looking for easy fall tray styling ideas or simple ways to make your home feel warm and inviting, this is such an effortless place to start. You don’t have to spend a fortune to create a beautiful, cozy space.

🍁 Antique Candle Co.‘s new fall candle testers are available now, so it’s the perfect way to discover your favorite fall scents before committing to a full-size candle!

Comment “CANDLES” below and I’ll send you the link! 🧡 And you better hurry, you only have until July 28th to get these fall candle testers ordered and then they are gone forever!

Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️ Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️

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 share more in the carousel, but after meeting with my primary care provider last week, I’ll now be having MRIs of both my brain and my spine/back to hopefully get closer to some answers. While Chiari malformation is still a possibility, my doctor also wants to rule out other neurological conditions, like Multiple Sclerosis. Hearing that was incredibly overwhelming, and if I’m being honest, this past week has been one of the hardest mentally.

The waiting is exhausting. Waiting for appointments, waiting for tests, waiting for results… it feels like my life has been on pause while I wait to find out what’s causing all of these symptoms.

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. What you don’t see are the tears, the fear, the doctor’s appointments, the nights spent worrying, or the mental toll that comes with living in the unknown.

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this post, it’s this: please be kind. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind the scenes. Invisible illnesses are just that- invisible.

And if you’re walking through your own health journey right now, I want you to know you’re not alone. This community has been such a source of comfort for me, and I’m so thankful for every message, prayer, and encouraging word you’ve sent my way. They truly mean more than you know. ❤️

If you pray, I’d really appreciate your prayers as I move through this next round of testing. I’m holding onto hope that we’ll finally get some answers. 🤍

Imagine Netflix interviewing your cat… what would Imagine Netflix interviewing your cat… what would they say about you? 😂🐈 The tea they could spill would probably be wild! Would they call you the best cat parent ever… or expose all your embarrassing habits? 😹

I’m hoping my cats have mostly good things to say because I may have slightly bribed them this year with a cozy heated cat bed from @kneadcats 🤭 If there’s one way to earn the title of “favorite human,” it’s giving your spoiled indoor cats the warmest nap spot in the house!

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. 💛
