POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointmen POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointment, but end up finding a little Christmas magic when you need it most. 🥹🎄❤️

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excit Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excitement this morning and had to call 911?! 🙋🏻‍♀️😅

It all started when our carbon monoxide detector kept going off. Naturally, I tried replacing the battery first, but that didn’t help. 🙃

So there I was, frantically trying to get ahold of my husband, who OF COURSE was in a meeting and couldn’t answer, while simultaneously trying to round up all three cats and get everyone outside. 😹

And what does any responsible 33-year-old adult woman do in a situation like this?! CALL HER MOM. 🤣

Literally called my mom to ask if I should call 911 because apparently I still need adult supervision when it comes to adulting. 😂

Well, the fire department showed up, checked everything out, and THANKFULLY there was no carbon monoxide leak! 🙌🏻

Turns out our carbon monoxide alarm was just old and needed replacing. It was over five years old! 🙃

So now I feel a little ridiculous for causing such a commotion, but better safe than sorry, right?!

AND in my defense, our gas fireplace hasn’t been working, and my husband was messing with it last night. So naturally, my mind went straight to a possible gas leak. 😬

Thankfully, everyone is safe, the cats are probably traumatized from their unexpected evacuation, and I’ve officially had enough excitement for one morning. 🤣

So here’s your friendly reminder to check your carbon monoxide detectors, replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and NEVER ignore an alarm! 🚨

And if you’re one of my neighbors, sorry about all the fire trucks and sirens this morning. Just your local neighborhood drama queen keeping things interesting! 😜

Please tell me I’m not the only grown adult who still calls their mom when something goes wrong?! 🤣👇

Also, shoutout to the fire department for being so nice and telling me I did the right thing by calling. That made me feel slightly less ridiculous at least 😜

Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait now… and I’m fully embracing it. 😂

Sorry, but staying home with my cats, reading a good book, and being cozy sounds WAY better than having plans. 📚🐈

At this point, my ideal weekend is canceled plans, comfy clothes, a good book, and my cats nearby. Homebody life just suits me. 👏🏻

Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think no Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think not! 😜🎄

I had some extra oyster shells left over from our beach trip this summer, so instead of letting them sit around, I turned them into these DIY oyster shell Christmas ornaments! You may remember I turned some of the shells into cute little ghosts for Halloween too 👻 But now we’re officially moving on to Christmas crafts!

And I am obsessed with how these turned out! All I needed was some spray paint, pretty wrapping paper, Mod Podge, twine, and hot glue to transform ordinary oyster shells into high-end looking coastal Christmas ornaments.

Not only are these such a pretty addition to your Christmas tree, but they’re also a sweet vacation keepsake! Every year when you pull them out, you’ll have a little reminder of that summer beach trip. 🥹

I always decorate my Christmas tree with gold, so these are going to fit in perfectly with my Christmas decor this year! 🎄

And the best part was knowing that all the fun was supporting the @isftorch and its mission to help children battling rare pediatric cancers. 💛

Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until N Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until November 1st to decorate for Christmas. 🤣

Sorry, but some of us have approximately 57 Christmas trees to put up, and that kind of commitment takes TIME. 😜🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

Now tell me, are you team Christmas decorating in October or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀

TikTok Pasta

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Have y’all tried the viral TikTok Pasta recipe out yet?? Well, I did and I am here to give you my full review of it. And if it’s worth the hype or not.

The best part of this whole recipe is that it is SUPER EASY to make. Which means it is an ideal weeknight recipe after a busy workday. And that is always the kind of recipes I am after, what about you?!

TikTok Pasta

Ingredients Needed:

  • 16 oz dried rotini pasta
  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes
  • 1- 8 oz block of feta cheese
  • 1/2 extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup packed chopped basil

Cooking Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Add the cherry tomatoes to your baking dish and pour the olive oil on top. Then, add in your salt and pepper. Toss it all together until combined.

Cherry Tomatoes in Baking Dish
Throw all your cherry tomatoes into a baking dish. You can see here I used some leftover grape tomatoes I had laying around too.

Add your feta block of cheese right in the middle of the dish. Flip it around a few times to coat it well with the olive oil and salt and pepper.

Cherry Tomatoes with Olive Oil
Mixing together the cherry tomatoes and olive oil with salt and pepper.

Place into preheated oven for about 35 minutes. Or until the tomatoes burst and the feta cheese starts to melt. While the tomatoes are cooking, make your pasta according to the package directions.

Cherry Tomatoes and Block of Feta
Placing the block of feta cheese right in the middle of the baking dish.

Assemble The Pasta

After your pasta is cooked and the tomatoes and feta are all done, now is the time to assemble it all together. Add in the garlic and basil to the tomatoes and feta.

Then, after tossing together, add in the cooked pasta.

Toss everything once again to combine it well and then garnish with more fresh basil if desired. Then, eat and enjoy!

My Review of TikTok Pasta

Was it really worth the hype? I think so. It was easy and delicious and I love anything on the mediterranean side like this dish is.

However, I think the next time I make it, I am going to add in some chicken or shrimp to give it some more oomph.

I like the fact that it is super quick and easy to make and you basically have to just throw everything in the same dish. And there is not much chopping or cutting required.

That’s always something I look for when I am trying to pick out an easy recipe to make. Have you tried the TikTok Pasta recipe before? If so, how did it turn out for you and what did you think about it?

    I’ve seen this recipe time and again (and not just on TikTok) and it sounds so delicious. My husband is doing Keto right now, so we basically have no carbs in our house. BUT, if I get the chance to make dinner just for myself sometime soon, I may have to try this out. It sounds so easy and yummy!

POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointmen POV: You drive 3.5 hours for a doctor’s appointment, but end up finding a little Christmas magic when you need it most. 🥹🎄❤️

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

Listen, Christmas decorating is my Super Bowl, and I fully intend to soak up EVERY second of the holiday season while I can! If that means putting up my Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over, then so be it! 🤣

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

💅 Step 1: Shape your nails to your desired length, push back your cuticles, and prep your nails using the acetone remover pot.

💅 Step 2: Apply a thin layer of dip powder base coat to the upper 3/4 of each nail and dip into the base powder.

💅 Step 3: Apply base coat to the entire nail, immediately dip into your chosen dip powder color, and tap off the excess.

💅 Step 4: Apply the dip powder activator and let it dry for 2 minutes. Then apply another layer of base coat and wait 2 more minutes.

💅 Step 5: Buff your nails using the “shape” side of the buffer, followed by the “smooth” side.

💅 Step 6: Seal your nails with another layer of dip powder activator and let dry for 2 minutes.

💅 Step 7: Finish with an even layer of dip powder top coat and let your nails fully dry for 5 minutes!

Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excit Well, guess who caused a little neighborhood excitement this morning and had to call 911?! 🙋🏻‍♀️😅

It all started when our carbon monoxide detector kept going off. Naturally, I tried replacing the battery first, but that didn’t help. 🙃

So there I was, frantically trying to get ahold of my husband, who OF COURSE was in a meeting and couldn’t answer, while simultaneously trying to round up all three cats and get everyone outside. 😹

And what does any responsible 33-year-old adult woman do in a situation like this?! CALL HER MOM. 🤣

Literally called my mom to ask if I should call 911 because apparently I still need adult supervision when it comes to adulting. 😂

Well, the fire department showed up, checked everything out, and THANKFULLY there was no carbon monoxide leak! 🙌🏻

Turns out our carbon monoxide alarm was just old and needed replacing. It was over five years old! 🙃

So now I feel a little ridiculous for causing such a commotion, but better safe than sorry, right?!

AND in my defense, our gas fireplace hasn’t been working, and my husband was messing with it last night. So naturally, my mind went straight to a possible gas leak. 😬

Thankfully, everyone is safe, the cats are probably traumatized from their unexpected evacuation, and I’ve officially had enough excitement for one morning. 🤣

So here’s your friendly reminder to check your carbon monoxide detectors, replace them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, and NEVER ignore an alarm! 🚨

And if you’re one of my neighbors, sorry about all the fire trucks and sirens this morning. Just your local neighborhood drama queen keeping things interesting! 😜

Please tell me I’m not the only grown adult who still calls their mom when something goes wrong?! 🤣👇

Also, shoutout to the fire department for being so nice and telling me I did the right thing by calling. That made me feel slightly less ridiculous at least 😜

Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait Apparently being a homebody is a personality trait now… and I’m fully embracing it. 😂

Sorry, but staying home with my cats, reading a good book, and being cozy sounds WAY better than having plans. 📚🐈

Don’t get me wrong, you might catch me out and about every once in a while… but just know I’ll need approximately 2–3 business days at home afterward to recover from all that socializing. 🤣

At this point, my ideal weekend is canceled plans, comfy clothes, a good book, and my cats nearby. Homebody life just suits me. 👏🏻

Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think no Too early to start Christmas crafting?! I think not! 😜🎄

I had some extra oyster shells left over from our beach trip this summer, so instead of letting them sit around, I turned them into these DIY oyster shell Christmas ornaments! You may remember I turned some of the shells into cute little ghosts for Halloween too 👻 But now we’re officially moving on to Christmas crafts!

And I am obsessed with how these turned out! All I needed was some spray paint, pretty wrapping paper, Mod Podge, twine, and hot glue to transform ordinary oyster shells into high-end looking coastal Christmas ornaments.

Not only are these such a pretty addition to your Christmas tree, but they’re also a sweet vacation keepsake! Every year when you pull them out, you’ll have a little reminder of that summer beach trip. 🥹

I always decorate my Christmas tree with gold, so these are going to fit in perfectly with my Christmas decor this year! 🎄

From the beautiful venue to the amazing food, drinks, and atmosphere, everything about this night was incredible! And getting to meet @relationshep and @salleycarson from Bravo’s Southern Charm was just the cherry on top! 🍒

Y’all already know how obsessed I am with Charleston and Southern Charm, so this event was basically MADE for me! 🤣 Plus, any excuse to get all dressed up, feel fancy, and enjoy a night out for a great cause? Count me in! 🥂

And the best part was knowing that all the fun was supporting the @isftorch and its mission to help children battling rare pediatric cancers. 💛

At this point, I’ve pretty much met the entire Southern Charm cast except Austen and Madison! So if y’all are reading this, I guess you’re next on my list! 🤣👏🏻

Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until N Things we’re ghosting this season: waiting until November 1st to decorate for Christmas. 🤣

Sorry, but some of us have approximately 57 Christmas trees to put up, and that kind of commitment takes TIME. 😜🎄

And if you think I’m waiting until Halloween is over to start decorating for Christmas, you’ve got another thing coming. 🤣 I may or may not already have a few trees up around the house. 🤫

Listen, I love spooky season just as much as the next person, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having pumpkins AND Christmas trees out at the same time. It’s called balance, okay?! 👻🎄

So consider waiting until November to decorate for Christmas officially GHOSTED. ✌🏻

Now tell me, are you team Christmas decorating in October or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀
