Between regular appointments with my PCP, referrals to specialists, booking consults with surgeons, seeing multiple OB-GYNs, cardiology appointments, and all the follow-ups in between… my calendar is basically just doctor visits at this point.

Living with a chronic illness like endometriosis means constantly advocating for yourself, seeing new specialists, running tests, and hoping someone finally has answers. It’s exhausting, expensive, and honestly overwhelming sometimes.

I keep wondering… will there ever be a month where I don’t have multiple medical appointments? Or is this just the reality of living with chronic illness? 😆

If you’re also navigating chronic illness, specialist appointments, and endless doctor visits, just know you’re not alone in this. 💛

Did you know yellow is the official color for Endo Did you know yellow is the official color for Endometriosis Awareness Month? 💛

Which is ironic because I honestly hate the color yellow… but I hate endometriosis even more. 🤣 So this month I’m wearing yellow nails for the cause.

And honestly, it’s a great conversation starter. If someone asks about my nails, I get to tell them about endometriosis awareness and why it matters. Because the more we talk about this disease, the more people start to understand it.

It still blows my mind that 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis, yet so many of us struggle for years to get diagnosed, treated, or even taken seriously. Women dealing with chronic pain deserve answers, research, treatment, and funding.

So if wearing yellow nails helps start even one conversation about endometriosis symptoms and women’s health, I’m all for it. 💛

I may be one small voice on the internet, but I’ll keep talking about endometriosis this month and every month after, because this disease affects my life every single day.

This was my second round wearing a Holter monitor, because the first time everything came back “normal.” And if you’ve been following my health journey, you know what I’m dealing with is definitely not normal.

Between the shakiness, heart episodes, and living with endometriosis, something is clearly going on. I don’t know yet if it’s POTS, endometriosis related, or something else entirely, but I’m desperate for answers at this point.

The hardest part? Being told over and over that “your labs look normal.” Meanwhile it’s affecting my job, my daily life, and my quality of life. Why do so many women have to fight to be taken seriously in healthcare?

The good news is I actually had another episode on Wednesday while wearing the monitor, so I’m really hoping it finally caught something.

Praying this round wasn’t for nothing and that I can finally get some real answers and a diagnosis soon. 💛 #holtermonitor #pots #potssyndrome #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth

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!

Anyone else feel like their dream wellness plan is just staying home, protecting your peace, and doing life at your own pace? Because same 🙋‍♀️ #chronicillnesslife #spooniesupport #stayathomecatmom #chronicillnesswarrior #spoonieproblems

POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list i POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list is longer than your friends list. 🤣

Between regular appointments with my PCP, referrals to specialists, booking consults with surgeons, seeing multiple OB-GYNs, cardiology appointments, and all the follow-ups in between… my calendar is basically just doctor visits at this point.

Living with a chronic illness like endometriosis means constantly advocating for yourself, seeing new specialists, running tests, and hoping someone finally has answers. It’s exhausting, expensive, and honestly overwhelming sometimes.

I keep wondering… will there ever be a month where I don’t have multiple medical appointments? Or is this just the reality of living with chronic illness? 😆

If you’re also navigating chronic illness, specialist appointments, and endless doctor visits, just know you’re not alone in this. 💛

Did you know yellow is the official color for Endo Did you know yellow is the official color for Endometriosis Awareness Month? 💛

Which is ironic because I honestly hate the color yellow… but I hate endometriosis even more. 🤣 So this month I’m wearing yellow nails for the cause.

And honestly, it’s a great conversation starter. If someone asks about my nails, I get to tell them about endometriosis awareness and why it matters. Because the more we talk about this disease, the more people start to understand it.

It still blows my mind that 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis, yet so many of us struggle for years to get diagnosed, treated, or even taken seriously. Women dealing with chronic pain deserve answers, research, treatment, and funding.

So if wearing yellow nails helps start even one conversation about endometriosis symptoms and women’s health, I’m all for it. 💛

I may be one small voice on the internet, but I’ll keep talking about endometriosis this month and every month after, because this disease affects my life every single day.

If you’re an Endo Warrior, just know you’re not alone. 💛 #endometriosis #endowarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisawareness #endometriosiswarrior
I finally got to take my Holter heart monitor off I finally got to take my Holter heart monitor off this morning… and let me tell you, I will NOT miss this thing 😅 But now I’m left with this itchy red mark as a little souvenir.

This was my second round wearing a Holter monitor, because the first time everything came back “normal.” And if you’ve been following my health journey, you know what I’m dealing with is definitely not normal.

Between the shakiness, heart episodes, and living with endometriosis, something is clearly going on. I don’t know yet if it’s POTS, endometriosis related, or something else entirely, but I’m desperate for answers at this point.

The hardest part? Being told over and over that “your labs look normal.” Meanwhile it’s affecting my job, my daily life, and my quality of life. Why do so many women have to fight to be taken seriously in healthcare?

The good news is I actually had another episode on Wednesday while wearing the monitor, so I’m really hoping it finally caught something.

Praying this round wasn’t for nothing and that I can finally get some real answers and a diagnosis soon. 💛 #holtermonitor #pots #potssyndrome #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth
