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. 💛

One thing people don’t talk about enough is how ch One thing people don’t talk about enough is how chronic illness doesn’t just affect the person who’s diagnosed, it changes the lives of the people who love them, too. ❤️

Living with an invisible illness can feel incredibly isolating, but having a supportive spouse has made all the difference in my journey. Through countless doctor appointments, unanswered questions, difficult days, and moments when I’ve felt like giving up, my husband has been my biggest advocate, my safe place, and my constant source of strength.

I know not everyone has that kind of support, and my heart truly goes out to anyone navigating chronic illness on their own. No one should have to carry that weight by themselves.

To every caregiver, spouse, partner, family member, or friend who continues to show up with patience, compassion, and love; you matter more than you know. Thank you for making the hard days a little easier. 🤍

If you’re living with a chronic illness, tag someone who’s been there for you, or send this to the person who’s helped carry you through your hardest days. They deserve to know how much they’re appreciated.

Just pretending it’s a crisp, cool fall day outsid Just pretending it’s a crisp, cool fall day outside with the breeze slightly blowing right now instead of it being 100 degrees outside! 🤣 

But seriously though, one sip and you’ll see why this cozy fall drink is a fan favorite. Made with warm apple cider, cinnamon, caramel, and whipped cream, it tastes like autumn in a cup, and the best part? There’s no coffee, so it’s perfect for kids and anyone who isn’t a coffee drinker!

I finally shared my easy Starbucks copycat Caramel Apple Spice recipe on the blog, and it’s so simple to make at home whenever those fall cravings hit. 🤎 Comment “Recipe” below and I’ll send it straight to you!

Have you ever tried a Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice before, or will this be your first time? Let me know below! 👇🏻 And don’t forget to save this recipe for cozy season and share it with your fellow fall lovers!

No matter what style, brand, or pair of sunglasses I buy, they ALWAYS slide down my nose the second I lay on my stomach. 🤦‍♀️ I’ve tried expensive ones, cheap ones, trendy ones—you name it. Same result every time!

At this point I’m convinced I either have a weirdly shaped face or gravity just has a personal vendetta against me. 😂

It’s honestly one of my biggest pool day pet peeves because I can never stay comfortable long enough to tan my back. So while the front of me is getting plenty of sunshine, the back is staying pale because I’m constantly giving up and rolling back over. ☀️🤣

Please tell me I’m not the only one! Do your sunglasses slide down your nose too, or have you found a magical pair that actually stays put? 👇😎

Apparently they decided to leave me exactly 4 cherry tomatoes and half a cucumber today. How thoughtful. 🤣

But wait until the end because you’ll see the sweetest little baby deer… and honestly, how am I supposed to stay mad after that?! 🥹❤️ They can have all the cherry tomatoes they want.

The only sad part? I haven’t harvested a single heirloom tomato this year because the deer keep eating them before they’re ripe enough to pick. 😅 I guess my garden has officially become a wildlife buffet.

Tell me I’m not the only one… What keeps eating your garden? Deer, squirrels, rabbits, or something else? ⬇️

If you’ve been following my chronic illness journe If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.”

But after my appointment with @carolina_functional_neurology, I finally felt heard.

They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget.

At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣

The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses.

So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️

I’ve decided to start an OnlyPaws account so I can finally quit my job and become a full-time stay-at-home cat mom. 😹

I mean, who wouldn’t pay premium content prices to see adorable cat toe beans, fluffy paws, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of two spoiled indoor cats living their best lives? 🐾😂

The stars of this business venture, Toby and Riley, have fully consented to the arrangement (by accepting treats), and they strongly support me staying home so I can dedicate more time to serving their every need. 😜

Honestly, with content this cute, retirement might be closer than I thought. 🤣

Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍 We drove t Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍

We drove to Charlotte to see a functional neurologist, and for the first time in a long time, I left an appointment feeling heard instead of dismissed.

After listening to everything I’ve been experiencing and putting me through what they jokingly called the “Brain Olympics” 😂 (seriously…SO many neurological tests), they agreed that my symptoms are not normal. They also agree that I likely have POTS, which honestly brought so much validation after everything I’ve been through.

The testing also showed signs that something may be going on with my cerebellum that’s causing my autonomic nervous system to misfire. Because of that, they want me to get a brain MRI to investigate further, including looking for things like Chiari malformation. They’re also ordering additional bloodwork and testing for celiac disease to make sure nothing else is contributing to everything I’ve been experiencing.

Am I nervous? Absolutely.

But for the first time in a very long time, I also feel hopeful.

I know none of these are answers yet, but having a doctor who believes me, listens, and is committed to figuring this out means more than I can explain. After years of wondering if I was just imagining things or being told my tests were “normal,” that validation alone feels like a huge win.

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and shared your own experiences. Your support has helped me keep pushing for answers when it would’ve been easier to give up.

I’m taking this journey one step at a time, and I’ll continue to keep you all updated. ❤️

Have you ever had to fight to get a doctor to truly listen to you? I’d love to hear your story in the comments. 👇

Anyone else flip the switch to fall mode the secon Anyone else flip the switch to fall mode the second the Fourth of July is over? 🍂😂

Don’t get me wrong, I still love summer, pool days, and sunshine. But there’s just something about fall that has my heart. The cozy vibes, cooler weather, pumpkin everything, fall candles, football Saturdays, and not melting the second you step outside? Yes, please! 🤎🍁

Don’t worry… I’m not decorating for fall just yet (I’m trying to be patient 😅), but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming about all the fall decor, cozy nights, and crisp autumn days ahead!

Now I have to know… are you Team Fall 🍂 or Team Summer ☀️? Let the debate begin!

I hope y’all had the best Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙 We had the sweetest, low-key Independence Day celebrating at home, and honestly… it was one of my favorite holidays yet.

We spent the afternoon relaxing by the pool, then my hubby smoked his famous ribeyes for a delicious family dinner. 🥩(comment “Recipe” below if you want me to send it your way! 😉) After that, we hopped on the golf cart and drove around until we found the perfect spot to watch the Fourth of July fireworks near our house. 🎆

Getting to enjoy an incredible meal, beautiful fireworks, and all the patriotic fun without fighting the big crowds? I’d call that a total win! 🙌🏻 There’s just something so special about simple summer nights spent with the people you love.

Now I have to know… did you stay home this year or go out to celebrate? 🇺🇸❤️

The Perfect Fall Candles

If you’ve been around here long enough, then you know I love me some good candles. And I have to tell y’all, I have found the perfect fall candles this year! I am so excited to share them with you all too.

Have you heard of Antique Candle Co before?! If not, your life is about to be changed! I’m telling you, that’s how good these candles are!

The Perfect Fall Candles
Pin for later.

About Antique Candle Co

I thought I would start off with a little background about the company first before I tell you all about my favorite fall candles! Antique Candle Co is a small business based in Lafayette, Indiana and all their candles are hand poured.

And y’all already know that I just love to support small shops! The company is now 6 years old and relocating into an even bigger location because their candles have been flying off the market since they are just so good!

All of their candles are made from wax from locally grown soy beans and non-toxic fine fragrance oils as well as essential oils.

They also have a natural cotton wick to them that ensures a clean and even burn all the way down to the end of the candle!

I have never had a candle burn all the way down to the end of the wax, but these do. I love that about them because I feel like I am never wasting any wax once they are done burning.

Fall Candles From Antique Candle Co
Look how pretty they are! I love how neutral the label is and the jar they pour the candle into is a mason jar. So cute!

Brand New Fall Scents

Antique Candle Co release not just one, but TWO new fall scents this year for 2021! The scents are Apple Butter and Vanilla Bean.

And let me tell you, the Apple Butter one is divine! I like the Vanilla Bean one too, but I feel like that one could be more of an everyday scent and not just fall.

It gives you all the warm and cozy vibes without screaming fall scents over the top. Apple Butter, however, smells exactly like you have been slow cooking some apple butter in the kitchen all day long.

So spicy and sweet, I could almost eat it!

Perfect Fall Candles

Apple Butter is delightful aroma of freshly baked apples blended with sugar, cinnamon, and clove, highlighted by fall pumpkin and sweet vanilla.

Antique Candle Co

Vanilla Bean is a delightful aroma of warm, cozy scent of vanilla bean with soft, spiced notes of clove, nutmeg and cinnamon bark.

Antique Candle Co

The Perfect Fall Scents

I feel like Antique Candle Co does an amazing job on how their fall candles are scented. It’s not too much or too little, it’s just the right amount.

I also love how they collaborate with other bloggers and influencers to come up with their signature scent. For example, Warm Caramel Crumble was one of Sarah Joy’s, from Sarah Joy Blog, creation.

And it is definitely one of my favorite scents. It makes the whole house smell like you have been in the kitchen baking a delicious fall treat!

I will highlight the scents I have below so you can read about them and see which one you might be interested in. Also, keep in mind, these are not their only fall candles that they have available.

They have Apple Pickin, Pecan Pie, and Apple Cider too! I just haven’t tried those out yet and I wanted to share with you all the ones that I know smell so amazing!

Pumpkin Spice

 is a deep, woodsy musk blended with fresh balsam notes and sweet autumn apples, intertwined with hints of earthy fig and eucalyptus leaf.

Fall Harvest

is a sweet and cozy autumn blend with fresh apple and orange peel, highlighted with warm notes of spicy cinnamon, clove, and vanilla.

Autumn Woods

is a deep, woodsy musk blended with fresh balsam notes and sweet autumn apples, intertwined with hints of earthy fig and eucalyptus leaf.

Warm Caramel Crumble

is a sweet aroma of homemade caramel dessert with warm buttery blends, highlighted with cinnamon-spiced maple, rich vanilla, and baked green apples.

Candle Sample Packs

I love that Antique Candle Co offers little sample packs too. That way you can try out four different scents and see how you like them before buying the full sized ones.

I also ordered the Fall Harvest sample pack and I use those little candles down at our camper! You can check out more about my fall camper tour here too!

They are also the perfect size for a small space such as a bathroom in your home as well. They are 2 oz each and even though they are small, they really last a long time.

Fall Candle Sample Packs
Here you can see my little fall sample candle burning in our camper.

Candle Bundles

Another thing that I love about this company is that they offer a ton of bundles, that are designed to save you money. Basically, the more you order, the more you save!

And let’s face it- who doesn’t need a stockpile of candles?! I have a ton stashed away and I get worried if it starts to run low.

I seriously burn candles all the time and I feel like these candles are definitely worth the money because they last SO LONG!

Ashley Furniture This Is Home - Evergreen

If you order a bundle pack, they last forever too. I ordered a four pack of candles myself from them back in early May this year and I seriously did not have to order anymore candles until fall time!

Each order comes with instructions on how to take care of your candle and make it really last longer. They also come with a little sample sized candle of a surprise scent, which I love!

It’s so nice that they include that in every order as a thank you and this is a great way to try out different scents without having to buy them first.

Pumpkin Spice Candle

Conclusion

If you can’t tell already from this post, I am obsessed with the fall candles (and basically every other candle) that Antique Candle Co puts out.

I highly recommend that you try them if you haven’t yet. You will not be disappointed! If you have tried one of their candles before, let me know below which one is your favorite scent!

Christmas Candle Sample Pack
Here’s you a little sneak peak of their Christmas scents too! They are now available as well and I will be sharing more about them in the next few weeks too so stay tuned for that!

      They can be a little pricier because they are hand poured and soy, but in my opinion it’s totally worth it because you are supporting a woman owned small business versus the larger chain stores of candles. Plus, they do sales occasionally and if you order bundles, you can save money that way. Basically, the more you order the more you save!

I mean, how long do y’all think we’d survive on 3 I mean, how long do y’all think we’d survive on 3 cherry tomatoes, 4 cucumbers, and 2 squash from my vegetable garden? 😂 My raised garden beds have been struggling this year thanks to the deer, but technically my produce is homegrown and fresh!

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. 📚☕️😂

One thing people don’t talk about enough is how ch One thing people don’t talk about enough is how chronic illness doesn’t just affect the person who’s diagnosed, it changes the lives of the people who love them, too. ❤️

Living with an invisible illness can feel incredibly isolating, but having a supportive spouse has made all the difference in my journey. Through countless doctor appointments, unanswered questions, difficult days, and moments when I’ve felt like giving up, my husband has been my biggest advocate, my safe place, and my constant source of strength.

I know not everyone has that kind of support, and my heart truly goes out to anyone navigating chronic illness on their own. No one should have to carry that weight by themselves.

To every caregiver, spouse, partner, family member, or friend who continues to show up with patience, compassion, and love; you matter more than you know. Thank you for making the hard days a little easier. 🤍

If you’re living with a chronic illness, tag someone who’s been there for you, or send this to the person who’s helped carry you through your hardest days. They deserve to know how much they’re appreciated.

Anyone else have this problem when you’re laying o Anyone else have this problem when you’re laying out by the pool or at the beach trying to read a good book? 😅

No matter what style, brand, or pair of sunglasses I buy, they ALWAYS slide down my nose the second I lay on my stomach. 🤦‍♀️ I’ve tried expensive ones, cheap ones, trendy ones—you name it. Same result every time!

At this point I’m convinced I either have a weirdly shaped face or gravity just has a personal vendetta against me. 😂

It’s honestly one of my biggest pool day pet peeves because I can never stay comfortable long enough to tan my back. So while the front of me is getting plenty of sunshine, the back is staying pale because I’m constantly giving up and rolling back over. ☀️🤣

Please tell me I’m not the only one! Do your sunglasses slide down your nose too, or have you found a magical pair that actually stays put? 👇😎

Apparently they decided to leave me exactly 4 cherry tomatoes and half a cucumber today. How thoughtful. 🤣

But wait until the end because you’ll see the sweetest little baby deer… and honestly, how am I supposed to stay mad after that?! 🥹❤️ They can have all the cherry tomatoes they want.

The only sad part? I haven’t harvested a single heirloom tomato this year because the deer keep eating them before they’re ripe enough to pick. 😅 I guess my garden has officially become a wildlife buffet.

If you’ve been following my chronic illness journe If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.”

But after my appointment with @carolina_functional_neurology, I finally felt heard.

They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget.

At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣

The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses.

So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️

Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍 We drove t Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍

We drove to Charlotte to see a functional neurologist, and for the first time in a long time, I left an appointment feeling heard instead of dismissed.

After listening to everything I’ve been experiencing and putting me through what they jokingly called the “Brain Olympics” 😂 (seriously…SO many neurological tests), they agreed that my symptoms are not normal. They also agree that I likely have POTS, which honestly brought so much validation after everything I’ve been through.

The testing also showed signs that something may be going on with my cerebellum that’s causing my autonomic nervous system to misfire. Because of that, they want me to get a brain MRI to investigate further, including looking for things like Chiari malformation. They’re also ordering additional bloodwork and testing for celiac disease to make sure nothing else is contributing to everything I’ve been experiencing.

Am I nervous? Absolutely.

But for the first time in a very long time, I also feel hopeful.

I know none of these are answers yet, but having a doctor who believes me, listens, and is committed to figuring this out means more than I can explain. After years of wondering if I was just imagining things or being told my tests were “normal,” that validation alone feels like a huge win.

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and shared your own experiences. Your support has helped me keep pushing for answers when it would’ve been easier to give up.

I’m taking this journey one step at a time, and I’ll continue to keep you all updated. ❤️

Have you ever had to fight to get a doctor to truly listen to you? I’d love to hear your story in the comments. 👇

We spent the afternoon relaxing by the pool, then my hubby smoked his famous ribeyes for a delicious family dinner. 🥩(comment “Recipe” below if you want me to send it your way! 😉) After that, we hopped on the golf cart and drove around until we found the perfect spot to watch the Fourth of July fireworks near our house. 🎆

Getting to enjoy an incredible meal, beautiful fireworks, and all the patriotic fun without fighting the big crowds? I’d call that a total win! 🙌🏻 There’s just something so special about simple summer nights spent with the people you love.

Now I have to know… did you stay home this year or go out to celebrate? 🇺🇸❤️
