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?!

Fall is almost here, which means it’s officially a Fall is almost here, which means it’s officially apple orchard season! 🍎 One of my favorite fall traditions is picking fresh Honeycrisp apples straight from the orchard. There is just nothing better than a crisp, juicy apple on a cool autumn day!

I always stock up because I love freezing fresh apple slices to enjoy all year long. They’re perfect for making these easy Crockpot Cinnamon Apples whenever the craving hits! 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. 🤍

At this point, I might as well make being a golf wife my entire personality, right?! 🤣

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?! 👻

I’m just THAT introverted. 🤣 My social battery has a daily limit, and sometimes I’ve already hit my maximum number of conversations before I even get to where I’m going. 😅

No offense… I just need to ride this elevator in peace and silence 🤣

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!

If you’re anything like me, you come home from every beach trip with a pocketful of seashells and absolutely no idea what to do with them. 😂 So I turned mine into this easy DIY seashell wall decor and I’m OBSESSED with how it turned out!

All you need is:
🐚 Seashells
🤍 A small canvas
🔥 Hot glue
🎨 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!

You could even make a whole gallery wall with shells from different beaches you’ve visited! 🥹🌊

Save this DIY for your next beach vacation! And if you have a stash of seashells at home, this is your sign to finally DO something with them. 😂🐚

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! 👇🏼

Vintage Christmas Home Tour 2022

I can’t believe it’s Christmas already! And it dawned on me that I haven’t shared a vintage Christmas home tour with you all yet either. And I have been meaning to!

So I am sorry for the delay, but I figured better late than never right? I hope you enjoy my little tour and hopefully it will give you some inspiration for next year’s Christmas decorations too!

Living Room Christmas Tree

Vintage Christmas Living Room

We recently changed things up pretty big in our living room. We got a set of vintage leather sofas and replaced our old white sectional in here.

Vintage Leather Sofa in Living Room
Here are the new vintage leather sofas!

I have to say, at first I wasn’t really loving them. I thought they were a little too orange in color. But now, they have really grown on me. I love the style to them and the bead detailing.

View of living room into kitchen

Also, the cool thing about them is that they can be used with or without the back cushions as well. So you can have two completely different looks with just one sofa!

Vintage 7-Up Crate
I love how this vintage 7-Up crate is the same color as the leather too!

I will say though I don’t love all the red Christmas decor with it. In my opinion, I think it clashes. But I am pretty OCD when it comes to things like that.

Side View of Christmas Living Room

Next year, I want to replace all my red Christmas decor and do more of a gold and copper theme. I think that would really make the vintage sofas pop! So I am definitely going to be hitting up a lot of after Christmas sales!

Another new thing to our living room this year is this vintage side table that I restored with some Fusion Mineral Paint! I plan on sharing a full tutorial on how I did that soon. So be on the lookout for that tutorial!

I just love the shape to it, and it fit in our corner perfectly!

And I wrapped my presents just like last year too. I just can’t get over the vintage lace and ribbon! Most of the wrapping paper and supplies I got from Zulily and Amazon as well!

Christmas Entryway

I kept everything on our Christmas entryway the same. Although the paint and gold sconces are different than last year. You may remember that we did a whole entryway refresh at the beginning of this year too.

The vintage ceramic Christmas tree pops better against the darker color too. If you remember, the previous wall was white as well. So it kinda blended in more last year.

Love my vintage ceramic Christmas tree! I got it from Vintage Market Days last year!

Vintage Christmas Kitchen

Now, it’s time for the kitchen in my vintage Christmas home tour! I always love displaying my old Christmas dishes!

Vintage Christmas Place Setting
The cutest little Christmas tea cup!

I usually always do a vintage Christmas tablescape on my bar in the kitchen. The old dishes only came with four place settings, so I didn’t have enough for my full dining room table.

It’s the perfect set up for our bar area!

I also love to display a few Christmas touches to our tiered trays in the kitchen too. It makes for a festive centerpiece on our island.

Christmas Coffee Bar

And now my all time favorite Christmas place to style, my coffee bar! Y’all know I always love to style my coffee bar. But Christmastime is my very favorite!

Vintage Christmas Coffee Bar

I also really love the vintage Santa mugs I hang on the hooks too. It took me a few years to find enough to hang up there!

Vintage Christmas Dining Room

I kept my Christmas tablescape pretty much the same as last year too. I just loved it so much, I didn’t want to change it up any!

Vintage Christmas Tablescape

You’ll notice that I keep my vintage ironstone dishes on my tablescape a lot and reuse them almost every season. They are just timeless and classic and go with any kind of decor!

Vintage Christmas Dining Room

Another one of my favorite things to decorate each season are my open shelves in my dining room. It’s the perfect place to display all my vintage goodies!

You may also recognize my vintage Christmas spice tins on these shelves that I shared a few weeks ago too.

As usual, I had to have my two pencil trees in my bedroom this year too. I love the cozy glow it brings to the space!

Christmas Bedroom

I shared more about how to style a Christmas bedroom on my blog a few years ago, so be sure to go check that out too!

Vintage Christmas Office

One of my favorite rooms in the whole vintage Christmas home tour, is my office! I love to sit in here and write next to the pretty Christmas tree!

Vintage Christmas Office View

And I have plenty of other vintage touches in here as well. Such as the vintage postcards in my inbox/outbox mailer. And the vintage Christmas card on my flower frog. You knew it had to be one with cats, didn’t you?!

You can also see my cute office assistant down below too. Toby loves to be in the office working with me!

You can also see above that I have my favorite Tree Farm candle from Antique Candle Co. burning in the office as well. I always gotta have one burning during the Christmas season!

And, I found some more vintage Shiny Brite ornaments this year and decided to display them in my dough bowl I love the grayish blue color to them!

Christmas Guest Bedroom

I also am obsessed with our Christmas guest bedding! It has cats all over it, which you know is right up my alley!

Flocked King of Christmas Tree in Bedroom

Another new edition to the guest bedroom is my olive tree! And it is actually real! So let’s hope I am able to keep it alive until next Christmas too!

Well, I hope you all enjoyed my little vintage Christmas home tour! I threw it together really quickly and only made it time by just one day before Christmas!

But, I hope you also have a wonderful Christmas and enjoy spending it with family friends! And as always, I am so appreciative of all of you stopping by my blog! Merry Christmas!

    I really love that clock, it’s so unique! I really like the couch color, it really does look vintage without looking worn out, I would have guessed that it was basically new. I like the 7up crate, I also just like wooden crates in general, I just don’t have them because I am prone/unlikely to splinters for some reason. I really like how you decorated with mostly white, with pops of red and green, and the idea od replacing red with gold next year sounds amazing.

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! ♻️

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 saw this adorable shirt from Pink Lily, I HAD to have it immediately—especially because it pairs perfectly with my “he’s golfing” hat. ⛳️😂

At this point, I might as well make being a golf wife my entire personality, right?! 🤣

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?! 👻

If pressing the “CLOSE DOOR” button the second I g If pressing the “CLOSE DOOR” button the second I get on the elevator so I can avoid small talk is wrong… I don’t want to be right. 😂🙈

I’m just THAT introverted. 🤣 My social battery has a daily limit, and sometimes I’ve already hit my maximum number of conversations before I even get to where I’m going. 😅

No offense… I just need to ride this elevator in peace and silence 🤣

Please tell me I’m not the only introvert who does this?! 👀

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!

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! 👇🏼
