March is Endometriosis Awareness Month… and if you March is Endometriosis Awareness Month… and if you’ve been following along lately, you know why I won’t stop talking about it.

This disease is honestly turning my life upside down right now. The pain, the fatigue, the constant fight to be taken seriously, it’s exhausting. But if sharing my story helps even one woman realize she’s not alone, it’s worth it.

When I saw this Endo Warrior sweatshirt, I knew I had to have it. Because every single woman fighting this disease is exactly that… a warrior. 💛

If you’re living with endometriosis, struggling to get a diagnosis, or supporting someone who is, this would make such a meaningful gift during Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Let’s keep spreading endometriosis awareness, sharing our stories, and demanding better research, better treatments, and better care for the 1 in 10 women living with this disease.

Because we deserve answers. And we deserve relief. 💛

Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if this thing finally catches what’s been going on with my heart. 😅

If you’ve been following along with my little health mystery, you know I’ve been having some pretty scary episodes lately, heart racing, shakiness, and weird symptoms that no one can quite explain yet.

I actually wore a Holter monitor for two weeks back in August, but of course… absolutely nothing happened while I had it on. 🙃 Isn’t that always how it goes?!

So here we are again. Another monitor. Another attempt to catch whatever is going on.

I also had my echocardiogram this morning, so I’m really hoping between that and this monitor we might finally get some answers. Because if not… we’re basically back to square one. 😅

Trying to stay positive and trust the process though. I’ll definitely keep y’all updated as I go since so many of you have been following along and sharing your own experiences too. 🤍

And if you’ve ever had to wear a heart monitor or deal with unexplained heart symptoms, tell me your experience below!

Happy Friday, friends. ✨

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 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

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

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

What’s Better Than Christmas Decor, Candlelight, and Antique Hunting?

There really isn’t anything much better in my opinion! And I was lucky enough to go to a candlelight stroll over at The Garage on 25, which is a little local antique shop, last weekend. I enjoyed antique hunting there and it was so much fun. I was so excited I got to be included in this amazing event.

There were also a lot of other Instagram influencers there as well and we were able to shop and mingle with everyone which was really nice.

They even had a table full of snacks and drinks for us to enjoy while we shopped. So keep on reading and I will show just how cute this shop is and all my vintage Christmas goodies I purchased as well!

Family Christmas Photo Op
Such a cute backdrop for a Christmas family photo!

Christmas Photo Op

Outside of the shop, there is the most adorable little camper that is decked all out for Christmas. It has garland and ornaments hanging from the top as well as red chairs and pillows in front of it.

It was the perfect opportunity to take a Christmas photo! Unfortunately, we got there early and no one was around to take our picture for us so we had to settle for a selfie!

So you can’t really see the full camper from the picture above, but I promise it is the cutest backdrop for a Christmas family photo!

But, if you’re local and looking for places to take cute photos for Christmas cards, I would highly recommend this spot!

Christmas Front Porch Decor
Such cute ideas for Christmas front porch decor!
Fresh Christmas Wreaths
Look at all those beautiful, fresh wreaths for sale!

Also outside their storefront, they had such beautiful decorations for Christmas. It was definitely inspiring and I wish I had done something similar to my Christmas front porch like that above!

I just love how they decorated that old hood. I would have never thought to do that myself, but it sure is perfect for Christmas!

They also had plenty of fresh Christmas wreaths for sale too hanging on the windows. Just a quick look from the outdoor decor definitely made me want to go inside and start antique hunting!

Vintage Santa Mug
How adorable is this little guy?!

Antique Store Review

Walking inside, I was very impressed with the layout of the store. They had Christmas music blasting and a table of goodies all set up for us to enjoy while we shopped.

There were a lot of little booths around and even more downstairs as well. I like the size of this antique store. It wasn’t overwhelmingly big, but it wasn’t too small either.

It was literally the perfect size and they even have a small coffee shop located right beside the store as well. And the coffeeshop was playing one of my favorite Christmas movies, Elf, so I knew right then it was a cool place!

Vintage Marshmallow Tin
I really wanted this vintage marshmallow tin. But it was a little too big for the space I had in mind for it!
Vintage Copper Kettle
I loved this antique copper kettle! It would look perfect in my corner hutch!
Vintage Cabinet
Look at all those little drawers on this cabinet!
Antique Chippy White Cabinet
Chippy white perfection right here!
Vintage Coca Cola Cooler
My hubby is on the hunt for a vintage Coca Cola cooler. He didn’t end up getting this one though because he wants one that has a shelf inside. But this was an awesome piece!
Antique Cabinet
This old medical cabinet was so cool. Had a bunch of index cards on the bottom shelf too!
Handmade Christmas Decor
They had a lot of handmade pieces by local artists as well here!

I found a few vintage Christmas goodies while I was antique hunting and I was so excited to find them! Currently, I do not have a large vintage Christmas collection, so these little pieces are my very first pieces to add to my hopefully growing soon collection.

I was definitely so inspired looking around at all the vintage Christmas displays there and I wish I could have purchased more, but I am so happy with what I did end up getting!

Vintage Christmas Collection
Here are all my vintage Christmas goodies I ended up leaving with!

You can see everything I bought there pictured above. So many cute vintage goodies! I am just in love with that vintage Santa mug too and now I want more to add to my collection!

The Garage Information

So if you’re local to Asheville, or anywhere close by, I definitely recommend that you plan a trip out to The Garage. As you can see, it’s totally worth it and I am sure you will find so many goodies there too! Below is all their information:

The Garage on 25
3461 Hendersonville Road
Fletcher, NC 28732

Click here to visit their following pages: Website, Facebook, and Instagram. Go give them a follow and check them out! And if you go, let me know what you think and show me all the cool pieces you find too!

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month… and if you March is Endometriosis Awareness Month… and if you’ve been following along lately, you know why I won’t stop talking about it.

This disease is honestly turning my life upside down right now. The pain, the fatigue, the constant fight to be taken seriously, it’s exhausting. But if sharing my story helps even one woman realize she’s not alone, it’s worth it.

When I saw this Endo Warrior sweatshirt, I knew I had to have it. Because every single woman fighting this disease is exactly that… a warrior. 💛

If you’re living with endometriosis, struggling to get a diagnosis, or supporting someone who is, this would make such a meaningful gift during Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Let’s keep spreading endometriosis awareness, sharing our stories, and demanding better research, better treatments, and better care for the 1 in 10 women living with this disease.

Because we deserve answers. And we deserve relief. 💛

Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if this thing finally catches what’s been going on with my heart. 😅

If you’ve been following along with my little health mystery, you know I’ve been having some pretty scary episodes lately, heart racing, shakiness, and weird symptoms that no one can quite explain yet.

I actually wore a Holter monitor for two weeks back in August, but of course… absolutely nothing happened while I had it on. 🙃 Isn’t that always how it goes?!

So here we are again. Another monitor. Another attempt to catch whatever is going on.

I also had my echocardiogram this morning, so I’m really hoping between that and this monitor we might finally get some answers. Because if not… we’re basically back to square one. 😅

Trying to stay positive and trust the process though. I’ll definitely keep y’all updated as I go since so many of you have been following along and sharing your own experiences too. 🤍

And if you’ve ever had to wear a heart monitor or deal with unexplained heart symptoms, tell me your experience below!

Happy Friday, friends. ✨

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
If you’re a fellow cat mom, then you know that dec If you’re a fellow cat mom, then you know that decorating with pets requires a little extra patience! I was so excited to roll out this new area rug and give our space a fresh look, but of course Toby had to inspect (and claim) it first. 😂

Thankfully, he fully approves of this comfy and pretty rug, and honestly, it makes the perfect cozy addition to our living room decor. If you’re looking for pet-friendly home decor ideas, especially durable rugs for homes with cats, this is your sign that it can be done!

Tell me, do your pets “approve” every new piece of furniture too? 🐱✨ #catmomproblems #catmomprobs #funnycatvideos #funnycatreels #catmomlife
