Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, but for me, there’s something incredibly healing about sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves roll in. 🌊

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, and stress has a way of piling up faster than we realize. But the moment I sink my toes into the sand, breathe in the salty air, and watch the endless horizon, everything seems a little lighter.

A beach day isn’t just a vacation, it’s a reset for my mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s a quick walk along the shore or hours spent listening to the waves, the ocean always reminds me to slow down, breathe, and be present.

Anyone else feel like the beach is the ultimate stress relief? 🩵🌴

I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔 Just l I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔

Just look at how badly my hands are shaking in this video. Yet every appointment seems to end with the same thing: “Your labs are normal, everything looks fine.”

But does this look fine to you?

I’m a dental hygienist, and when these episodes happen, I can barely hold my instruments. The shaking, internal vibrations, dizziness, nausea, racing heart rate, and feeling like I’m about to pass out have become a regular part of my life. It’s scary, frustrating, and honestly exhausting.

For years, I’ve been searching for answers while dealing with chronic illness symptoms that continue to get worse. Being told everything is “normal” when you know something is wrong is one of the hardest parts of this journey.

The good news is that I finally found a functional neurologist who actually listened to me and took my concerns seriously. 🙏 I have a full neurological workup scheduled for July 6th, and it truly cannot get here fast enough.

I’m desperate for answers. I’m tired of feeling miserable. And I’m hoping this appointment is finally the next step toward figuring out what’s causing these tremors, heart rate spikes, dizziness, and other symptoms.

Please keep me in your prayers that this appointment goes well and that I don’t hear the famous line, “Well, your labs are fine,” one more time. 😂🤞

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic illness, POTS symptoms, dysautonomia, unexplained tremors, or medical gaslighting, let me know in the comments. Sometimes it helps to know we’re not alone. ❤️

Where To Find The Best Artificial Christmas Trees

If you know me, then you know I am completely Christmas obsessed and I have to have at least one kind of Christmas tree in every room of my house! So I figured today I would share with you all where to find some of the best artificial Christmas trees.

Especially since it is already early November and it is time to start planning your Christmas decor! If you’re in need of a new tree this year, see some of my favorite options below!

Where To Buy The Best Artificial Christmas Trees
Pin For Later!

Target’s Wonderland Christmas Trees

It’s no surprise that Target has made my list of where to find the best artificial Christmas trees! I think that Target has some great options for a low price.

And if you’re trying to stick to a budget this year, Target may be the place to check out first. For example, this pre-lit 7 foot tree below is only $96, which is an incredible deal for that size!

They also have some really cool and unique tree options as well. So if you’re looking for something non traditional, they have you covered too!

I absolutely love the shape of this one below, it’s so unique and different!

I’m also a sucker for flocked trees. Most of the trees I have in my home are flocked so I of course had to include some flocked favorites from target below too!

Target also has a great selection of smaller and table top trees as well. If you’re looking for a tiny tree for a kids room, or another area of your home, these would be some great options to consider.

Michael’s Stores Christmas Trees

Another place I love to shop for Christmas trees at is Michael’s stores. They usually have a great selection and most of the time you can find them on a great sale.

I believe that they tend to do a killer 50% off sale around Black Friday too, so hopefully that tradition will continue this year as well.

I usually get my pencil trees from Michael’s and I have several already, but I am looking to add in a few new ones. Especially since I now have a guest bedroom to decorate for Christmas too!

I will share a couple that caught my eye below.

I also love how they have many brightly colored ones to choose from this year as well. I mean how fun would that little pink tree be in a little girls room?!

I remember I had a pink tree growing up in my bedroom and it was one of my most favorite trees!

King Of Christmas Trees

Now, if you really want a high end Christmas tree, then I definitely recommend King Of Christmas Trees. I personally have one of these trees, and I am so obsessed with the quality and beauty of that tree!

These trees are a little more pricey than the above options, but you honestly get what you pay for. I believe these trees are way more fuller and more realistic like than some others I’ve seen.

This would definitely be more of an investment piece if you chose one of these trees, but it would really be worth it year after year!

This is the one I have below and I place it in my office every year. You can see more about my review of it in my King of Christmas Tree post that I did last year.

But it definitely does not disappoint and it is one of my most favorite trees!

King of Christmas has a lot of different varieties of artificial trees to choose from, and they are all so lifelike and real!

I am definitely impressed with this company and they ship fast for free in the USA as well!

King Of Christmas Garlands and Wreaths

King of Christmas also offers some beautiful garland and wreath options as well. I have one of their unlit garlands and I hang it above our bed every year.

It gives our bedroom just the right amount of Christmas flair!

You can see more about that garland in my Christmas Bedroom post from last year. I chose to get an unlit garland, and you can see the one I have below.

I mainly got unlit because I already have two pencil trees up in our bedroom and I figured that would be too much with a lit garland too!

But they do also offer several options in their wreaths and garlands as well. Such as lit or unlit and flocked or not.

I feel like you definitely get more options when you order from this company as well.

The Home Depot

So I can’t believe I have never thought to get a tree from The Home Depot before, but we got one this year!

And let me tell y’all, I am in love with it! It is so pretty and I love how it has the option to switch from the warm white color to multi color.

It also has several light options where you can make them twinkle or slow fade as well. It was also super easy to “fluff” it. You basically just pulled down a branch and it all fell into place for you!

This very well be my favorite artificial Christmas tree we have in our home this year!

I love the flocked look to it and I think it looks perfect in my woven tree collar that I got from Target too.

This also comes in the wooden option or the black option as well. It is a part of their Hearth and Hand collection and I will link it below.

Conclusion

Well I hope this gave you somewhat of an idea of where to search for Christmas trees this year if you’re in the market.

I’m not an expert, but I do have roughly 7 trees up at our house of varying sizes so I can say I do have a little experience with artificial trees lol Do you guys prefer artificial or real trees?

I love real trees for the smell of them, but prefer artificial trees because you can leave them up longer and reuse them every year. Let me know your thoughts below!

    I purchased an artificial tree after getting married a few years ago. I grew up with real trees – but I knew that artificial ones would mean a one-time investment for many years of tree use, which seemed more financially savvy. I wish I had looked at more places first, but we did get a pretty good deal in the end. I’d love one day to have a King of Christmas tree in my home (I want to have multiple trees in the future haha)!

    There are so many great places to pick up Christmas trees to match your style. I love that we’re seeing more variety with trees in different colours and themes – giving everyone the chance to create that perfect tree to match their home. We actually scored our last tree secondhand. The person that was selling it didn’t want to take the time to find the bulb that was out, so they sold the tree and a pack of spare bulbs for a fraction of the cost of a new tree – but it was still in like-new condition! Sure, it took me a bit to hunt that bulb down, but it was worth it lol

Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, but for me, there’s something incredibly healing about sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves roll in. 🌊

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, and stress has a way of piling up faster than we realize. But the moment I sink my toes into the sand, breathe in the salty air, and watch the endless horizon, everything seems a little lighter.

A beach day isn’t just a vacation, it’s a reset for my mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s a quick walk along the shore or hours spent listening to the waves, the ocean always reminds me to slow down, breathe, and be present.

Anyone else feel like the beach is the ultimate stress relief? 🩵🌴

I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔 Just l I’m so tired of living like this, y’all. 💔

Just look at how badly my hands are shaking in this video. Yet every appointment seems to end with the same thing: “Your labs are normal, everything looks fine.”

But does this look fine to you?

I’m a dental hygienist, and when these episodes happen, I can barely hold my instruments. The shaking, internal vibrations, dizziness, nausea, racing heart rate, and feeling like I’m about to pass out have become a regular part of my life. It’s scary, frustrating, and honestly exhausting.

For years, I’ve been searching for answers while dealing with chronic illness symptoms that continue to get worse. Being told everything is “normal” when you know something is wrong is one of the hardest parts of this journey.

The good news is that I finally found a functional neurologist who actually listened to me and took my concerns seriously. 🙏 I have a full neurological workup scheduled for July 6th, and it truly cannot get here fast enough.

I’m desperate for answers. I’m tired of feeling miserable. And I’m hoping this appointment is finally the next step toward figuring out what’s causing these tremors, heart rate spikes, dizziness, and other symptoms.

Please keep me in your prayers that this appointment goes well and that I don’t hear the famous line, “Well, your labs are fine,” one more time. 😂🤞

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic illness, POTS symptoms, dysautonomia, unexplained tremors, or medical gaslighting, let me know in the comments. Sometimes it helps to know we’re not alone. ❤️

Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the l Am I forgetting anything else? Tried to keep the list short because my memory these days is also running out of space too 😜 

And in all seriousness, no I do not run. I actually hate running. So if you see me running, you should probably run too because that means a murderer or a wild animal is chasing me 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣
