In case you didn’t know… Shark Week is the safest week to go to the beach because all the sharks are away on TV right now, so there’s absolutely no chance of getting bitten. (Don’t fact-check me. 🤣)

Looks like we accidentally picked the perfect week to visit Dirty Myrtle! 🌊☀️

Who’s heading to Myrtle Beach this summer? And be honest… are you team “I’ll still get in the ocean” or team “I’ll admire it from the sand”? 😂

I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Bea I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Beach! There’s just something about watching the sun melt into the ocean while the breeze hits your face that makes you forget about life’s chaos for a little while.

And honestly? I needed that.

With everything that’s been going on lately, this was exactly the reset my heart needed. For a couple of hours, all I had to worry about was whether I wanted another drink and if we were going to see dolphins. 😂

So yes… call it Dirty Myrtle all you want, but she gave me gorgeous sunsets, peaceful ocean views, and memories I’ll be replaying long after vacation is over.

Now excuse me while I spend the next six months trying to convince my husband we need to move somewhere that has sunsets like this every night. 🤣

Who’s team Dirty Myrtle… and who’s still refusing to admit it’s actually kind of fun? 👇🏻😉

Don’t get me wrong, I love summer… but I wouldn’t complain if it was about 15 degrees cooler instead of feeling like we’re melting every day. 😂

I’m so ready for crisp fall mornings, cozy evenings, pumpkin everything, fall baking, candlelight, sweaters, and all the cozy autumn vibes. There’s just something magical about this season that makes home feel even cozier.

Traveling with a chronic illness definitely takes a little more planning, but it’s worth it to make the memories. 💛

Styling a decorative tray for fall doesn’t have to Styling a decorative tray for fall doesn’t have to be complicated. 🍂🕯️

One of my favorite fall decorating tips is to simply shop my own home first! I gather a few cozy pieces I already own, add a small pumpkin or seasonal accent, and always finish the look with one (or two 😉) Antique Candle Co. candles. Nothing makes a home feel more like cozy fall decor than the warm glow of candlelight and the scent of crisp autumn mornings.

If you’ve been looking for easy fall tray styling ideas or simple ways to make your home feel warm and inviting, this is such an effortless place to start. You don’t have to spend a fortune to create a beautiful, cozy space.

Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️ Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️

I’ve gone back and forth about posting this because I never want this page to become all about my health. I love sharing recipes, DIYs, home projects, gardening, and all the things that bring me joy. But I also want this space to be real, and right now, this is part of my reality.

I share more in the carousel, but after meeting with my primary care provider last week, I’ll now be having MRIs of both my brain and my spine/back to hopefully get closer to some answers. While Chiari malformation is still a possibility, my doctor also wants to rule out other neurological conditions, like Multiple Sclerosis. Hearing that was incredibly overwhelming, and if I’m being honest, this past week has been one of the hardest mentally.

The waiting is exhausting. Waiting for appointments, waiting for tests, waiting for results… it feels like my life has been on pause while I wait to find out what’s causing all of these symptoms.

I also wanted to remind everyone that social media is often a highlight reel. Most of the content you see from me was planned and scheduled on days when I felt well enough to create. What you don’t see are the tears, the fear, the doctor’s appointments, the nights spent worrying, or the mental toll that comes with living in the unknown.

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this post, it’s this: please be kind. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind the scenes. Invisible illnesses are just that- invisible.

And if you’re walking through your own health journey right now, I want you to know you’re not alone. This community has been such a source of comfort for me, and I’m so thankful for every message, prayer, and encouraging word you’ve sent my way. They truly mean more than you know. ❤️

If you pray, I’d really appreciate your prayers as I move through this next round of testing. I’m holding onto hope that we’ll finally get some answers. 🤍

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

I’ve also read that women with endometriosis may experience symptoms associated with perimenopause earlier than average, and honestly… as if endometriosis hasn’t put us through enough already. 😅

At this point, I’m about ready to start a Late Night Book Club for all the insomnia and perimenopause girlies because apparently none of us are sleeping anyway. 📚☕️😂

So tell me… are you dealing with insomnia, perimenopause symptoms, endometriosis, or all of the above? And most importantly, what has actually helped you sleep? Drop your tips below because your girl is desperate. 💛

Vintage Inspired Gift Wrapping

You know I love to put some time and effort into gift wrapping every year. And every year, I like for it to be a little different. So this year I came up with the idea of doing vintage inspired gift wrapping.

I found some pretty vintage lace ribbon on Amazon and I thought that would look so beautiful tied around my packages this year! The good news is that you can order everything I used online as well.

So if you like this look, then you can easily achieve it too! But I am going to show you just how easy and simple it is to create a beautiful wrapped present to place under your Christmas Tree this year!

Vintage inspired gift wrapping
Here is a preview of how my gifts are turning out this year!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Start With The Wrapping Paper

I always like to do just simple Kraft wrapping paper every year. But like I said above, I wanted to do something a tad bit different this year. So I found this cute 3 pack of kraft wrapping paper on Amazon as well and I knew it would be perfect.

It has subtle little prints of antlers, trees, and snowflakes but it still gives you that perfect neutral vibe like regular kraft paper does. And it is perfect for just Farmhouse Christmas decor too. Especially since it comes with a roll of antler prints too!

I love how versatile this wrapping paper can be! I looked all over at places like Target and Walmart this year, but I could not find any wrapping paper that really spoke to me.

Until I saw this one on Amazon! I knew it would look perfect under my tree this year.

Add In Some Vintage Lace Ribbon

Here is where I think you can see how my vintage inspired gift wrapping came to be. When I saw this set of vintage lace ribbon, I knew it would go perfectly with my wrapping paper.

And it definitely gives it that vintage feel that I was craving! It comes in both beige and white, but I got the beige color because I thought it would look better against the Kraft paper.

I thought the white would appear too stark.

I love how this pack comes with a variety of different laces and sizes. That way you can easily choose which piece would look better with each gift you are wrapping. I also found some colored vintage lace ribbon and I thought that would be fun to use as well.

That way I can add in some color! I thought it would be more red since that is my main color this year for Christmas. It is important to note, that it seems to be more of a burgundy color to me in person.

But, regardless it is still a very pretty ribbon and would look great underneath the tree!

I also had some leftover buffalo check ribbon from another project that I used for a few gifts as well. I like how they all don’t match perfectly, but each one goes very well together.

They all play off well from each other in my opinion. And it adds plenty of interest underneath the tree!

Make Handmade Gift Tags

If you have been around here long enough, then you know every year I love to make handmade gift tags. I also think this fits in the vintage inspired gift wrapping as well because who doesn’t love a good handmade item?!

It’s the perfect personalized touch for every gift! I like to again use Kraft colored gift tags to match the wrapping paper as well.

And then I like to use Christmas Stamps to stamp on the front of the tags. I will then add in a “To” and “From” on the back after they are dried as well.

I shared more about this process a couple of years ago when I was doing more of a Farmhouse Style Gift Wrapping too.

Finish Up Wrapping

I think these all make wonderful additions underneath your Christmas trees! I always like to stick with a theme for wrapping paper and I am loving how my theme turned out to be this year!

What do y’all think about it too?! Do you also like to stick with a certain theme when wrapping your gifts too?

If so, I would love to hear about it! I hope you enjoyed this idea of vintage inspired gift wrapping as much as I did!

POV: You planned your beach vacation during Shark POV: You planned your beach vacation during Shark Week because obviously all the sharks are busy filming TV. 😂🦈

In case you didn’t know… Shark Week is the safest week to go to the beach because all the sharks are away on TV right now, so there’s absolutely no chance of getting bitten. (Don’t fact-check me. 🤣)

Looks like we accidentally picked the perfect week to visit Dirty Myrtle! 🌊☀️

Who’s heading to Myrtle Beach this summer? And be honest… are you team “I’ll still get in the ocean” or team “I’ll admire it from the sand”? 😂

I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Bea I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Beach! There’s just something about watching the sun melt into the ocean while the breeze hits your face that makes you forget about life’s chaos for a little while.

And honestly? I needed that.

With everything that’s been going on lately, this was exactly the reset my heart needed. For a couple of hours, all I had to worry about was whether I wanted another drink and if we were going to see dolphins. 😂

So yes… call it Dirty Myrtle all you want, but she gave me gorgeous sunsets, peaceful ocean views, and memories I’ll be replaying long after vacation is over.

Now excuse me while I spend the next six months trying to convince my husband we need to move somewhere that has sunsets like this every night. 🤣

Who’s team Dirty Myrtle… and who’s still refusing to admit it’s actually kind of fun? 👇🏻😉

I’m obsessed with this new dress from the Sewing Down South x @belk collection!

It’s lightweight, comfortable, and perfect for everything from a beach stroll to dinner by the water.

If you know me, you already know I’m a huge @sewingdownsouth and Southern Charm fan, so of course I had to support this collaboration. And let’s be honest… @caconover has always been my favorite. 😉

Before heading to Myrtle Beach, we made a stop in Charleston, and honestly… I wish we could’ve stayed longer! There’s just something so magical about this city, from the historic streets and colorful homes to one of the best food scenes in the South.

If you’re planning a Charleston weekend trip, these two restaurants are absolutely worth adding to your itinerary:
🤍 Dinner at @82queenchs (the blackened flounder was incredible!)
🤍 Brunch at @poogansporchchs (an absolute Charleston must!)
🤍 Stay at @millshousehotel (such a dreamy and gorgeous boutique hotel!)

Can you believe we’re only 6 weeks away from the ’ Can you believe we’re only 6 weeks away from the ’ber months?! 🍂 September, October, November, and December are hands-down my favorite time of year!

Don’t get me wrong, I love summer… but I wouldn’t complain if it was about 15 degrees cooler instead of feeling like we’re melting every day. 😂

I’m so ready for crisp fall mornings, cozy evenings, pumpkin everything, fall baking, candlelight, sweaters, and all the cozy autumn vibes. There’s just something magical about this season that makes home feel even cozier.

Who’s already counting down to fall 2026 with me? 🍁👇 Are you team summer or team ’ber months?

Before I can even think about swimsuits and cute o Before I can even think about swimsuits and cute outfits, I have to make sure every medication, supplement, electrolyte packet, and “just in case” item makes it into my bag. Then I mentally go through my checklist about 50 times before we leave because forgetting one thing could completely change the trip.

Traveling with a chronic illness definitely takes a little more planning, but it’s worth it to make the memories. 💛

Now if only I could get a vacation from all the vacation packing. 😂

Anyone else with a chronic illness feel like packing is the most stressful part of traveling? ✈️💊 Let me know I’m not alone!

Styling a decorative tray for fall doesn’t have to Styling a decorative tray for fall doesn’t have to be complicated. 🍂🕯️

One of my favorite fall decorating tips is to simply shop my own home first! I gather a few cozy pieces I already own, add a small pumpkin or seasonal accent, and always finish the look with one (or two 😉) Antique Candle Co. candles. Nothing makes a home feel more like cozy fall decor than the warm glow of candlelight and the scent of crisp autumn mornings.

If you’ve been looking for easy fall tray styling ideas or simple ways to make your home feel warm and inviting, this is such an effortless place to start. You don’t have to spend a fortune to create a beautiful, cozy space.

🍁 Antique Candle Co.‘s new fall candle testers are available now, so it’s the perfect way to discover your favorite fall scents before committing to a full-size candle!

Comment “CANDLES” below and I’ll send you the link! 🧡 And you better hurry, you only have until July 28th to get these fall candle testers ordered and then they are gone forever! 

Save this post for your fall decorating inspiration and tag a friend who’s already counting down the days until cozy season! 🍂

Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️ Some updates are harder to share than others. ❤️

I’ve gone back and forth about posting this because I never want this page to become all about my health. I love sharing recipes, DIYs, home projects, gardening, and all the things that bring me joy. But I also want this space to be real, and right now, this is part of my reality.

I share more in the carousel, but after meeting with my primary care provider last week, I’ll now be having MRIs of both my brain and my spine/back to hopefully get closer to some answers. While Chiari malformation is still a possibility, my doctor also wants to rule out other neurological conditions, like Multiple Sclerosis. Hearing that was incredibly overwhelming, and if I’m being honest, this past week has been one of the hardest mentally.

The waiting is exhausting. Waiting for appointments, waiting for tests, waiting for results… it feels like my life has been on pause while I wait to find out what’s causing all of these symptoms.

I also wanted to remind everyone that social media is often a highlight reel. Most of the content you see from me was planned and scheduled on days when I felt well enough to create. What you don’t see are the tears, the fear, the doctor’s appointments, the nights spent worrying, or the mental toll that comes with living in the unknown.

If there’s one thing I hope you take away from this post, it’s this: please be kind. You never truly know what someone is carrying behind the scenes. Invisible illnesses are just that- invisible.

And if you’re walking through your own health journey right now, I want you to know you’re not alone. This community has been such a source of comfort for me, and I’m so thankful for every message, prayer, and encouraging word you’ve sent my way. They truly mean more than you know. ❤️

If you pray, I’d really appreciate your prayers as I move through this next round of testing. I’m holding onto hope that we’ll finally get some answers. 🤍

I’m hoping my cats have mostly good things to say because I may have slightly bribed them this year with a cozy heated cat bed from @kneadcats 🤭 If there’s one way to earn the title of “favorite human,” it’s giving your spoiled indoor cats the warmest nap spot in the house!

Tell me… would your cat hype you up or totally roast you?👇🏻 If you don’t think so, use my code “MACEDONIA” to get $10 off a cat bed for your furry friend too! 😻

My husband has been really into golf lately, which apparently means it’s now his mission to teach me how to play. The only problem? I’m not totally convinced he’s qualified for the job. 🤣

What do y’all think… should I trust his golf lessons or find a new coach? 😂

Then again, I probably shouldn’t be talking because I’m terrible at mini golf too. If I can’t even survive a game of putt-putt, I don’t know what chance I have on a real golf course. 😅

Tell me… is your spouse always trying to teach you their favorite hobby too, or is it just mine? ⛳️😂

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

Please tell me I’m not the only one! I’m only 33, but lately I cannot sleep to save my life. Between tossing, turning, and staring at the ceiling, my Kindle and a cup of tea have basically become my nightly routine.

I’ve also read that women with endometriosis may experience symptoms associated with perimenopause earlier than average, and honestly… as if endometriosis hasn’t put us through enough already. 😅

At this point, I’m about ready to start a Late Night Book Club for all the insomnia and perimenopause girlies because apparently none of us are sleeping anyway. 📚☕️😂

So tell me… are you dealing with insomnia, perimenopause symptoms, endometriosis, or all of the above? And most importantly, what has actually helped you sleep? Drop your tips below because your girl is desperate. 💛
