Target really understood the fall decor assignment Target really understood the fall decor assignment this year 🍂🤎 I found the CUTEST long fall stems on my latest Target run and knew they would look perfect in my galvanized metal vase in the kitchen! 🏡

They added the prettiest pop of fall color without making the space feel too “fall,” and I’m obsessed with how realistic the little hops look! 🌿🍁 Plus, I ended up needing way fewer stems than I thought… which means I can return the extras and spend that money on something else, right?! 😂

Gotta love when girl math + Target fall decor work out in your favor! 🤣🛒

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! ♻️

Have you tried this candle wax removal hack before?!

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 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!
Don’t let those vacation seashells sit in a drawer Don’t let those vacation seashells sit in a drawer collecting dust! 🐚🤍 TURN THEM INTO WALL ART INSTEAD!

🐚 Seashells

🎨 White spray paint
🪵 Optional wood trim for a frame

I love that you can customize this with shells from your favorite beach trip, making it such a sweet way to preserve those vacation memories. And the neutral white + wood combination makes it work with almost any home decor style!

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. 🎄😂

Mornings on Macedonia

DIY, Decor, & More

Traveling and Antiquing

Here on Mornings on Macedonia, I also share a few lifestyle and travel posts as well. Now, I’m no travel blogger by any means, because we usually stick to where we’re comfortable traveling. But I do love the combo of traveling and antiquing!

However, I would love to expand that in the future and travel more places and share that experience with you all!

I also love to share life experiences and some fashion thrown in here too! Basically, you will find a little bit of everything here. And hopefully there is a little something for everyone because of that!

Favorite Travel Spots

One of our favorite places to go to is close by and that is Pigeon Forge, TN. If you’ve been around here long enough, then you probably remember we used to own a little lot with a camper down there in Cosby, TN. Which is super close to the area.

One of our favorite things to do there is antique hunt. And I have shared all the best places to antique hunt near Pigeon Forge here on the blog. We always love to mix traveling and antiquing!

Action Antiques

Another great place in Tennessee to antique hunt is Johnson City! And the best part is, it is only about an hour away from our house, which is super convenient

The Best Places to Antique Hunt in Johnson City

Man, how I miss that little camper! But, after selling it, we were able to travel more, especially more to the beach. Which is one of my favorite spots!

Myrtle Beach Sunrise

And I think our #1 go to place is Charleston, South Carolina as well. We make several trips there per year and hope to continue in the future!

Charleston Pineapple Fountain

Although, traveling and antiquing there is a little harder because the antiques there are way out of our price zone! You have to have a little family money to get some of those! LOL

And if you’re looking for a romantic getaway with your significant other, be sure to check out Margaritaville Island Hotel! We loved it so much, we’ve stayed there twice already so far!

View From Our Room

Live a Life You love

As I mentioned before, this blog is a huge passion of mine and I hope to make it a full time career here soon. I started off on Instagram, celebrating milestones of hitting 10K, and 20K, over the years. And now I am at 40K followers!

I am so blessed that you all enjoy my content and want to follow me, even if I share all my crazy life experiences. Such as getting LASIK surgery!

Safety Glasses for LASIK Surgery

Or getting my eyebrows microbladed for the very first time!

After Microblading

Thank you all so much for your support! And I hope to continue to share all my traveling and antiquing adventures with y’all for years to come!

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! 👇🏼
