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

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.

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.

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!

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? 👇😎

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.

Turning Your Bedroom Into A Christmas Wonderland

I just love the glow of Christmas lights so if I can add them to every room, I definitely will! My motto is you can never have too many trees. So I got the idea to add not just one, but two pencil trees in our bedroom for an extra, special glow! It definitely feels like a perfect Christmas bedroom with the addition of Christmas lights!

I am loving the way it turned out and it just feels so cozy and magical to me! I honestly love spending a lazy Saturday right here curled up with a fuzzy throw binge watching the Hallmark channel.

Does that sound heavenly to anyone else, or is it just me?! Keep reading to find out more details on how I styled our bedroom into a Christmas wonderland this year. I have linked all my sources for you to make it even easier as well!

Farmhouse Christmas Bedroom Decor
Here is a full view of our bedroom all decked out for Christmas! Love the pops of green from the trees against our white shiplap wall!

Pencil Trees for a Christmas Bedroom

Like I stated above, I knew I wanted to have two pencil trees, one in each corner of our Christmas bedroom. Last year we just had one and it was pretty, but I knew adding another one would add to the drama of a Christmas wonderland feel.

So I searched online endlessly trying to find a pencil tree that would match the one we had.

We had bought that one from K-Mart a few years ago and it was the Jaclyn Smith brand. It wouldn’t have been hard to find a duplicate, except for the fact that every K-Mart around us had closed down!

And I was having a hard time finding one online too. But, I stumbled across K-Mart online and found a few Jaclyn Smith Pencil Trees left!

I knew the one we had was a cashmere pencil tree so when I saw that online too, I knew it would work out perfectly.

However, I was a tad bit wrong. I forgot one detail when typing it in to search for our pencil tree. The one we had was a Virginia Pine Cashmere Pencil Tree, not just a Cashmere Pencil tree!

So imagine my disappointment opening the box and seeing that they didn’t match perfectly! I am OCD about these things and I like for things to match.

The one we already had is much fuller compared to the one we just bought. But oh well, I guess you can’t really tell from far away. And if you can tell, don’t tell me because I keep trying to convince myself it’s not that noticeable!

Christmas Tree Collar Ideas for bedroom
Here is a close up of the tree collars I found!

Christmas Tree Collars

Since the new tree wasn’t as full on the bottom like our old tree, it looked a little weird in the collar. So my simple fix was to just add a little burlap and wrap around the base of the tree to make the collar look more full.

And I think it worked just fine since the burlap is the same color as the tree collar. I also got a great deal on these collars.

I had been looking for a long time for two matching collars for these trees and I was having a hard time finding something that was affordable.

Most collars I saw were $40 and up and I didn’t want to pay $80 for two tree collars! So luckily, I found these beautiful ones at Michael’s and they were only $20 a piece! Such a great deal and they are definitely made with great quality too!

Target Dollar Spot Wreaths in Christmas Bedroom
I always love finding wreaths and greenery at the Target Dollar Spot!

Christmas Wreath

Another super easy thing I did to transform our bedroom into more of a Christmas bedroom, was add in a wreath on our 1920 farmhouse windows we have hanging on either side of our shiplap wall.

And of course I got them from the Target Dollar Spot! They were only $3 a piece so not bad at all! And it’s definitely a cheap and easy way to add a little bit of Christmas flair to the window!

Christmas Garland in Bedroom
Click here to order you the same garland that I used for our bedroom too!

Garland

I also added that beautiful garland above our bed too. I love how full this garland was and how easy it was to fluff and style! I almost got the one with lights on it too but I was afraid that would be too many lights and I was trying to save a little money since the one with lights was a little more pricey.

However, now I think I regret not getting a lit one because I don’t think you can ever have too many Christmas lights!

Maybe next year I will order one with lights and use this one somewhere else. But regardless of it being lit or not, it definitely is one quality garland! I ordered it from King of Christmas and it’s definitely the perfect touch to our Christmas bedroom!

Farmhouse Christmas Bedroom Tray Decor
I love these Festive Christmas beads on my tray too!

Christmas Tray

Above are some other little touches I added to make our bedroom more cozy and festive. I didn’t have a pretty blanket with Christmas colors, so I just used this blanket scarf I had and draped it over the bed for a pop of color.

I also added my Magnolia home tray styled with some goodies such as my yummy Modern Forestry candle, some Target Dollar Spot and Hobby Lobby goodies, and you know I always have to have a Christmas Rae Dunn mug thrown on there too!

I also ordered that adorable custom accent pillow cover above to go on our bed this year. I love how it has our last name on it. So cute and special!

As you can see, it really didn’t take me much to turn our bedroom into a cozy, Christmas wonderland retreat. And you can do the same to yours just by adding in a few pieces here and there that you love and are cozy to you!

Christmas Bedding

And, if you want to be super extra and festive this year with your Christmas bedroom when decorating, don’t forget the Christmas bedding! I found this amazing REVERSIBLE Christmas quilt off of Amazon this year.

So no matter whether you prefer a more neutral look, or a more festive look, this piece would be for you!

I hope all these ideas have given you a little inspiration on how you can style your own Christmas bedroom this year too.

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!

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? 👇😎

POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… just to realize you’re actually gardening for the neighborhood deer. 😂🌱🦌

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? ⬇️
