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. 😜

Where To Stay In Brevard, NC

This past week, we had the incredible experience of going to Brevard for a couple of days. So I figured I would share exactly where to stay in Brevard, NC with you all too.

That way, if you’re looking to plan a trip, you will know exactly where to book and where to go as well. Because trust me, you don’t want to miss this place!

We were lucky enough to stay at the beautiful Meraki Escape and I am telling you, this is the ultimate couples getaway! If you’re celebrating an anniversary, an elopement, Valentine’s Day, a birthday, or really just need an excuse to get away for a little bit with your spouse, this is the place.

Not only is the cabin beautiful and full of amenities, but they offer several unique packages and experiences as well! I will be highlighting everything we did during our two night stay there in this post for you.

And honestly, two nights was not enough! I would love to be able to stay a full week there. It was truly so relaxing and much needed for me and my hubby! So if you’re needing a romantic escape too, keep on reading to see just how truly magical Meraki is!

Sunset Views

This post also contains affiliate links, which means I make a small commission off anything you purchase through here, at no additional cost to you. Please read my full Disclosure policy for more details.

Ukiyo Cabin

We stayed in the Ukiyo Cabin and it was none other than perfect. Right now, there are two cozy cabins on the property, and they have plans on expanding eventually as well. But all the amenities the cabin offered inside was truly incredible. We really had everything we needed, and more!

Cabin Name

Bedroom

One thing I can appreciate now that I am older when traveling is having a nice firm mattress and a ceiling fan, blasted on high, when sleeping.

Meraki Bedroom
Bed

And I am happy to report that our cabin had both so we were really able to rest and sleep well. The cabin is also dog friendly, so there is a crate and everything you need for your furry friend too, which is always a nice touch.

Dog Supplies

And, I always love a nice, plush hotel robe, and Meraki has them hanging and ready to go in your bedroom closet too.

Robes

There is also a washer and dryer as well as room darkening curtains, so you can sleep in as late as you want to!

Laundry

And right before you enter the bedroom, there is a huge shelf of books! Which is right up my alley too. I absolutely love to read, so it’s nice to know if you forgot a book, they have you completely covered with all their reading material too!

Book View

Bathroom

I think it goes without saying that the best part of the bathroom is the spa shower. It is a walk-In with dual shower heads, body jets and rainfall shower head too.

Shower

Plus, it is fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash too. In the shower itself, there is a skylight and a bench too so you truly have everything you need to enjoy a nice long and hot shower!

Shower Supplies

I also loved that there is a vanity area in the bathroom so when you’re getting ready, you have a nice spot to do so. There is also an ample supply of mouthwash and lotion ready to go, and not only is there a hairdryer, but a straightener too!

Vanity

I always think that hotels should have this option as well. It’s so nice to have that and not have to bring your own from home!

Bathroom

Also, the bathroom was fully stocked with not only bathroom towels, but towels for the hot tub outside too which was so nice to be able to grab and go!

Bathroom View

Living Room

The living room and kitchen area are a nice and open concept so even though the cabin is small, you feel like you have plenty of room! Plus, there is a gas fireplace in the living room too which I am always a fan of as well.

Living Room

And of course, the wi-fi in the cabin was strong and worked really well too. As far as streaming services go for the TV, there is Youtube TV, so you are pretty much able to watch whatever show you want! The leather sofa was super comfy to relax on and watch our favorite shows.

Inside Cabin

Kitchen

I absolutely loved the kitchen in this place! It was fully stocked with every kind of drink ware you could possibly need, as well as plenty of plates and silverware too.

Kitchen View

I also loved the fact that there were plenty of spices and cooking oil for you to use too. When I’m on vacation, I always hate grocery shopping and trying to get all those basic things, because usually I always forget them. So it’s nice that I didn’t even have to worry about it here!

Spices in Kitchen

Another one of my favorite things, was that the fridge was fully stocked with farm fresh eggs for us to use, as well as other breakfast items such as bagels and oatmeal too.

Farm Fresh Eggs

Plus, there was lemon infused water in a pitcher (as well as bottled water) for us to use and enjoy too!

Water

I just love little thoughtful touches like that when we are staying somewhere. There were also several coffee options as well.

Coffee on Porch

And even a cute little hot cocoa bar to enjoy too! The attention to detail in this cabin was nothing short of amazing!

Hot Cocoa Bar

Another thing I loved was the juicer! And we were even supplied with fresh oranges to use it with. So naturally we had freshly squeezed orange juice every morning. And even made a mimosa or two with them as well!

Juicer
OJ
Freshly Squeezed OJ Mimosas

Exterior

The exterior of the cabin is really just as amazing as the interior of it! Of course, my favorite feature was the hot tub! Y’all know we have one at home too and absolutely love it.

Hot Tub Deck Views

So I always require a hot tub when we stay somewhere on vacation too. There is nothing like soaking in a hot tub to help relieve all my aching joints!

Hot Tub Deck
Us in Hot Tub
Hot Tub
Views From Hot Tub
Sunset Views From Hot Tub

And once you’re used to that life, there is no going back! Plus, the outdoor deck offered incredible views too. And you can even use the privacy curtains around the hot tub, while still enjoying the view outside too.

Hot Tub

On the deck there is also a fire table, which we enjoyed nightly! And there is a Weber grill outside too so if you want to throw anything on the grill for dinner, you could easily do so!

Fire Table on Deck

Like I already mentioned, the views from the outdoor deck were incredible. We even had a full moon the first night we were there, so the porch was beautifully lit from that.

Full Moon

You can also see Lake Jocassee from out in the distance too!

Sunset View

So as you can see, the outside of the cabin truly is just as magical as the inside too!

Meraki Experiences

Well, now you know where to stay in Brevard, NC! But Meraki is more than just a luxury cabin stay, they also offer so many cool experiences as well!

Couples Massage

We were able to do a couples massage one day and they come directly in your cabin and set everything up for you. That way, you don’t even have to leave to enjoy the massage, which is so nice!

Us After Couples Massage

Another experience we did was have a private chef, Amber Cate, come in and make us a phenomenal three course meal.

Burrata Salad

Everything was so delicious and again, it was so nice to be able to just sit back and relax and not even worry about dinner! If you’re local to the Asheville area like us, Chef Amber Cate also does catering options around the area too.

Shrimp and Scallops

So if you ever need a private chef for something, keep her in mind because literally our dinner was one of the best meals we’ve ever had!

Dessert

A Free Gift With Your Stay!

Well, if I haven’t convinced you by now that you need to take a trip to Brevard, NC and stay at Meraki, maybe this will sweeten the deal even more!

Gift Basket

They were nice enough to give me a coupon code for you all. Just use “MACEDONIA” when checking out to receive a locally curated gift basket (worth over $125!). It will be filled with all sorts of local goods and gifts!

Gift Basket Goodies

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. 💛

And it’s pretty good entertainment for us too honestly 🤣

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: You’re not sad… POV: It’s 30 degrees and sno POV: You’re not sad…

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. 😜
