Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sit Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sitting down is “fine.” 🙃

At this point I feel like I need a medical degree just to advocate for myself.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2020, but I’ve had severe shakiness since I was a teenager (they called it “benign essential tremor”). Lately it’s gotten worse, and now every episode comes with my heart rate skyrocketing.

173 bpm. Sitting down.
After metoprolol.
After electrolytes.

But sure… I’m “okay.”

I know POTS and endometriosis are often linked. My cardiologist thinks it’s “inappropriate sinus tachycardia.” I’m going in for an echocardiogram and another heart monitor Friday because the last one came back “inconclusive.”

When I called today to explain what happened? I was told to go to the ER.

I did that before. Got fluids. Got told I was fine. Got a $4,000 bill after insurance.

Women with chronic illness are so often dismissed, especially those of us with endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 10 women and is still wildly under-researched and underfunded.

I’m not asking for medical diagnoses. I’m asking:

Have you dealt with endometriosis + tachycardia?
POTS?
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia?
Nervous system dysfunction?

What finally helped you get answers?

Because I refuse to believe that “this is just anxiety” or “you’re fine” is the end of the story.

If you’ve been through something similar, please share your experience below. Let’s make this thread a resource for women who are tired of being dismissed. 🤍 #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth #pots #potssyndrome  #womenshealthmatters

Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 March is Endometriosis A Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and I’m using my platform to help spread awareness about this painful, underfunded, and often misunderstood disease.

So many women I talk to are struggling with endometriosis symptoms, even if they haven’t been officially diagnosed yet.

Here’s what you need to know about endometriosis:

• It affects 1 in 10 women and girls worldwide: nearly 190 million people.
• The average time to get an endometriosis diagnosis is 7–10 years after symptoms begin.
• For every diagnosis, only about $4.30 goes toward NIH research funding. It is drastically under-researched and underfunded. And it is NOT “just bad cramps.”

Common symptoms of endometriosis include:
• severe period pain
• chronic pelvic pain
• painful ovulation
• heavy periods
• infertility
• digestive issues and bloating
• extreme fatigue
• pain during intercourse

There is currently no cure for endometriosis, only symptom management through medication, hormone therapy, or excision surgery.

Up to 30–50% of women facing infertility may have endometriosis.

It’s also considered an invisible illness, meaning many women look “fine” while battling daily pain internally.

A hysterectomy is NOT guaranteed to cure endometriosis.

This is heavy.
And it’s hard to live with endometriosis every single day. It affects my everyday life more than most people realize. And sometimes, I feel incredibly alone in it.

So if your pain is disrupting your daily life, please don’t ignore it. Let’s use Endometriosis Awareness Month to push for more research, more funding, earlier diagnosis, and better care for women everywhere.

Save this. Share this. Talk about this.
Awareness leads to change. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endometriosisawarenessmonth #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters

Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Caro Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Carolina might be the cutest small town in the mountains and I can’t believe it took me this long to explore it! 🤍

A couple of weeks ago, we spent the day in downtown Brevard and instantly fell in love. Think charming antique stores, cozy coffee shops, local bookstores, amazing restaurants, and the kind of walkable Main Street that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. If you’re planning a trip to Brevard, NC, especially if you’re visiting near Asheville or the Blue Ridge Mountains, this little mountain town absolutely needs to be on your list.

I put together a full blog post with all the best things to do in Brevard, NC (where to eat, shop, and explore), so you can plan the perfect weekend getaway.

Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks sunshine + country music + salty air is actual therapy?! Give me a beach chair, a good summer read, and a speaker blasting my favorite Morgan Wallen songs and I’m instantly fixed. 😂

We had a little taste of spring this weekend (it hit 70 degrees and felt amazing), and now we’re right back to freezing temps and snow. So if you need me, I’ll just be over here manifesting summer vacation, beach days, and warm weather vibes.

Anyone else already dreaming about their next beach trip? 🏖️✨ #morganwallen #beachvacay #beachsunset #sunsetvibes #vacationvibes

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.

Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sit Apparently my heart rate hitting 173 while I’m sitting down is “fine.” 🙃

At this point I feel like I need a medical degree just to advocate for myself.

I was diagnosed with endometriosis in 2020, but I’ve had severe shakiness since I was a teenager (they called it “benign essential tremor”). Lately it’s gotten worse, and now every episode comes with my heart rate skyrocketing.

173 bpm. Sitting down.
After metoprolol.
After electrolytes.

But sure… I’m “okay.”

I know POTS and endometriosis are often linked. My cardiologist thinks it’s “inappropriate sinus tachycardia.” I’m going in for an echocardiogram and another heart monitor Friday because the last one came back “inconclusive.”

When I called today to explain what happened? I was told to go to the ER.

I did that before. Got fluids. Got told I was fine. Got a $4,000 bill after insurance.

Women with chronic illness are so often dismissed, especially those of us with endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 10 women and is still wildly under-researched and underfunded.

I’m not asking for medical diagnoses. I’m asking:

Have you dealt with endometriosis + tachycardia?
POTS?
Inappropriate sinus tachycardia?
Nervous system dysfunction?

What finally helped you get answers?

Because I refuse to believe that “this is just anxiety” or “you’re fine” is the end of the story.

If you’ve been through something similar, please share your experience below. Let’s make this thread a resource for women who are tired of being dismissed. 🤍 #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth #pots #potssyndrome  #womenshealthmatters

We’ve seen @bailey.zimmerman open up for Morgan Wa We’ve seen @bailey.zimmerman open up for Morgan Wallen twice before, but let me tell you, his own headlining concert was absolutely incredible!! We had so much fun on Thursday night and it was honestly one of my favorite concerts (which is saying a lot because we’ve been to several!). His energy is just unmatched and I wish I could jump around like that all the time too 🤣 Have you ever seen him in concert before?? #baileyzimmerman #countryconcert #concertvibes #concertvenue #baileyzimmermanconcert
Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 March is Endometriosis A Happy March 1st, y’all 💛 
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month and I’m using my platform to help spread awareness about this painful, underfunded, and often misunderstood disease.

So many women I talk to are struggling with endometriosis symptoms, even if they haven’t been officially diagnosed yet.

Here’s what you need to know about endometriosis:

• It affects 1 in 10 women and girls worldwide: nearly 190 million people.
• The average time to get an endometriosis diagnosis is 7–10 years after symptoms begin.
• For every diagnosis, only about $4.30 goes toward NIH research funding. It is drastically under-researched and underfunded. And it is NOT “just bad cramps.”

Common symptoms of endometriosis include:
• severe period pain
• chronic pelvic pain
• painful ovulation
• heavy periods
• infertility
• digestive issues and bloating
• extreme fatigue
• pain during intercourse

There is currently no cure for endometriosis, only symptom management through medication, hormone therapy, or excision surgery.

Up to 30–50% of women facing infertility may have endometriosis.

It’s also considered an invisible illness, meaning many women look “fine” while battling daily pain internally.

A hysterectomy is NOT guaranteed to cure endometriosis.

This is heavy.
And it’s hard to live with endometriosis every single day. It affects my everyday life more than most people realize. And sometimes, I feel incredibly alone in it.

So if your pain is disrupting your daily life, please don’t ignore it. Let’s use Endometriosis Awareness Month to push for more research, more funding, earlier diagnosis, and better care for women everywhere.

Save this. Share this. Talk about this.
Awareness leads to change. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #endometriosisawarenessmonth #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters

POV: you’re a former street cat experiencing snow POV: you’re a former street cat experiencing snow for the first time… and trying to play it cool 😹❄️

Little Miss Charlie swore she was tough, rolling around in the snow like she owns the place 😂 She did low-key love it though… rolling, flopping, living her best winter queen life.

And then 2 minutes later?
Back inside.
By the fireplace.
Where the real luxury lives. 🔥😌

From scrappy outdoor stray to spoiled indoor princess… the character development is unreal. I fear she’s officially lost her street cred. But that’s okay because we love her so much and happy she’s safe inside with us! 😻
Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Caro Weekend getaway idea: Downtown Brevard, North Carolina might be the cutest small town in the mountains and I can’t believe it took me this long to explore it! 🤍

A couple of weeks ago, we spent the day in downtown Brevard and instantly fell in love. Think charming antique stores, cozy coffee shops, local bookstores, amazing restaurants, and the kind of walkable Main Street that makes you want to slow down and stay awhile. If you’re planning a trip to Brevard, NC, especially if you’re visiting near Asheville or the Blue Ridge Mountains, this little mountain town absolutely needs to be on your list.

I put together a full blog post with all the best things to do in Brevard, NC (where to eat, shop, and explore), so you can plan the perfect weekend getaway.

POV: It’s 30 degrees and snowing… but I’m mentally at the beach with 80-degree weather, a fresh tan, my toes in the water, and Morgan Wallen turned ALL the way up. 🌊☀️

Tell me I’m not the only one who thinks sunshine + country music + salty air is actual therapy?! Give me a beach chair, a good summer read, and a speaker blasting my favorite Morgan Wallen songs and I’m instantly fixed. 😂

We had a little taste of spring this weekend (it hit 70 degrees and felt amazing), and now we’re right back to freezing temps and snow. So if you need me, I’ll just be over here manifesting summer vacation, beach days, and warm weather vibes.

Anyone else already dreaming about their next beach trip? 🏖️✨ #morganwallen #beachvacay #beachsunset #sunsetvibes #vacationvibes

You know you’ve officially entered ✨prime adulthoo You know you’ve officially entered ✨prime adulthood✨ when renting a dumpster feels like a THRILL. 🤣

Nothing, and I mean nothing, hits quite like tossing years of random junk into a giant metal box and watching the clutter disappear. Our garage and basement were crying for help, and this purge just gave us the ultimate clean-slate reset. 🙌🏼

Tell me I’m not the only one who gets this excited over a dumpster rental… because this might be my favorite era yet. 😜

If you think you’re “late” taking down your Christ If you think you’re “late” taking down your Christmas decor… just know I still have fall decor on my back porch 😅🍂

Yes. In February.

In my defense, it’s been a freezing winter, I ran out of storage bins while packing up my fall decorations, and once it got cold? I simply ✨chose peace✨ instead of porch cleanup 😂

But with the warmer weather finally rolling in, it’s officially time for a spring porch refresh! 🌸🌿 Goodbye pumpkins, hello spring decor, outdoor living, and fresh seasonal styling.

Anyone else still transitioning their seasonal home decor, or am I alone in my fall-to-spring glow up? 😜 #seasonaldecor #relatablereels #dontjudgeme #springdecor #porchdecor
