Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when Listen, y’all. I have a HUGE sweet tooth, and when it comes to dessert, I do NOT play around! 😂 

Normally, I’m not one to share my sweets, but after a big dinner, I figured splitting a dessert with my hubby would be cute and romantic. 🥰
Well, that lasted about 2 seconds. 🤣

Because why was this man taking bites twice the size of mine?! EXCUSE ME, SIR?! We agreed to SHARE, not for you to eat 75% of it! 💀😂

So naturally, I had to take matters into my own hands and make sure we were getting equal portions. Marriage is all about compromise, right?! 😜

Please tell me we’re not the only married couple who turns sharing dessert on date night into a full-blown competition?! 🤣
Be honest… are you a dessert sharer, or is it EVERY MAN FOR HIMSELF?! 🍰

🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your C 🎄 PSA: Don’t skip this step when putting up your Christmas tree! 👀

If you want your Christmas tree to look fuller, fluffier, and more expensive, this simple Christmas decorating hack makes ALL the difference! 🙌🏻

Seriously, just look at the difference between a fluffed Christmas tree and one that hasn’t been fluffed yet! 😍 Taking the time to spread out and shape each branch helps fill in those awkward gaps and makes even an artificial Christmas tree look so much fuller BEFORE you add a single ornament!

And trust me, as someone who puts up multiple Christmas trees every year, I know how tedious this step can be. 🤣 Especially when you’re dealing with flocked Christmas trees and end up with fake snow ALL over your house! 🙃

But I promise, those extra few minutes of fluffing are SO worth it for that beautiful, full Christmas tree look! 🎄

So tell me, are you team fluff every single branch or team throw some ornaments on and call it a day?! 🤣👇🏻

📌 Save this Christmas tree decorating tip for when you start putting up your holiday decor!

POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrat POV: You have dysautonomia and need to stay hydrated… but you absolutely HATE drinking water. 🤣💦

Anyone else living with POTS, inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), or another chronic illness know the struggle?! 🙋🏼‍♀️

As someone navigating dysautonomia and multiple chronic illnesses, staying hydrated and keeping up with my electrolytes is super important! The only problem?! I’m terrible at drinking plain water. 😅

And don’t even get me started on flavored electrolyte powders. I’m just not a fan! 🙃

That’s why I’ve been loving Buoy electrolyte drops! 💧 Unlike traditional electrolyte drink mixes, these unflavored hydration drops can be added to practically ANY beverage without significantly changing the taste!

So naturally, every time I crack open an ice-cold Diet Coke, I add some electrolyte drops to it too. 🤣🥤

Because who says you can’t enjoy your favorite drinks AND get some extra electrolytes in at the same time?! 😉

And if you’re wondering about my diagnosis, one doctor told me I have inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST), while another suspects POTS. So at this point, your guess is as good as mine! 🤪 Welcome to life with chronic illness!

But in the meantime, I’m all about finding little chronic illness hacks that make everyday life a bit easier! ❤️

💬 COMMENT “SHOP” below and I’ll send you the link to try these electrolyte drops for yourself!

And tell me… are you a water lover or a fellow water hater like me?! 😂

Don’t get me wrong, I am OBSESSED with flocked Christmas trees! They’re so beautiful, cozy, and give that perfect winter wonderland Christmas aesthetic. 😍

BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE MESS?! 😩

Every single year, I willingly put myself through the same thing. Flocking EVERYWHERE. On the floors, on my clothes, in my hair, and somehow in rooms I haven’t even decorated yet. 🤣

And since I’m the kind of person who needs a Christmas tree in practically every room, it takes approximately 5–7 business days to recover from decorating. 😆

Also, consider this your friendly reminder to NEVER wear black while decorating a flocked Christmas tree. Ask me how I know. 🙃

But will I continue buying flocked Christmas trees even though I know exactly what I’m getting myself into?! ABSOLUTELY. 😂🎄

Please tell me I’m not the only one who has a love-hate relationship with flocked Christmas trees?! 👇🏻

Because apparently, I have absolutely ZERO self-control when it comes to collecting vintage Santa mugs! Every time I spot one, I just HAVE to add it to my growing collection!

There’s just something about vintage Christmas decor that makes my heart so happy! ❤️ These nostalgic Santa mugs are timeless, full of charm, and just so stinkin’ cute and jolly! 🎅🏻

And honestly, can you ever really have too many Santa mugs?! I think NOT! 😜

Now tell me, what’s ONE Christmas decoration you can’t stop collecting?!👇🏻 I need to know I’m not alone in my Christmas decor obsession! 🤣
These chocolate espresso crinkle cookies are serio These chocolate espresso crinkle cookies are seriously what Christmas cookie dreams are made of! 😍 They’re rich, fudgy, full of decadent chocolate flavor, and have just the right hint of espresso to make them absolutely irresistible!

And can we talk about how PRETTY they are?! That beautiful crackled powdered sugar coating makes them look like little snow-covered cookies! ❄️ Plus, you don’t need any fancy decorating skills to make them look this good!

The best part?! These easy homemade Christmas cookies only take about 10 minutes to bake, and the recipe makes around 36 cookies! 🙌🏻 So they’re PERFECT for Christmas cookie exchanges, holiday parties, homemade Christmas gifts, or just enjoying with your morning cup of coffee! ☕️

And y’all know how much I love my coffee, so combining chocolate AND espresso into one delicious cookie?! Sign me up! 🤣

Trust me, if you’re looking for a new Christmas cookie recipe to add to your holiday baking list this year, these chocolate espresso crinkle cookies NEED to be on it!

Y’ALL!! If you’ve never experienced Christmas at The Angus Barn in Raleigh, NC, you are seriously missing out!! 😍✨ This place is what Christmas dreams are made of, and I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by all the beautiful Christmas decorations, twinkling lights, and festive displays! 🎅🏻🎄

I seriously felt like a little kid on Christmas morning, walking around in complete awe of everything! 🥹

But this day actually started out pretty rough. We traveled 3.5 hours to Duke for another medical appointment, hoping to finally get some answers about my ongoing health issues. Unfortunately, the appointment didn’t go anything like I had hoped. Still no real answers, no treatment plan, and no clear direction moving forward. 💔

As you can imagine, I left feeling pretty defeated and discouraged. It’s exhausting constantly searching for answers and coming up empty-handed.

But then we went to The Angus Barn, and for a little while, all those worries faded into the background. 🥹❤️

Y’all know Christmas is my absolute FAVORITE, so being surrounded by all that Christmas magic was exactly what my heart needed! And the delicious food was just the icing on the cake! 😍

Even though the day didn’t bring the medical answers I was praying for, it still turned into such a special memory. And I’m beyond thankful for my sweet hubby, who continues to drive me to all these appointments, stand by my side through every disappointment, and find little ways to make me smile along the way. ❤️

Sometimes a little Christmas magic can’t fix everything, but it sure can make a hard day a little brighter. 🥹✨

So if you’re looking for a magical Christmas restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina, add The Angus Barn to your holiday bucket list ASAP!! 🎄🎅🏻

Have you ever been to The Angus Barn at Christmas?! Or what’s the most magical Christmas restaurant you’ve ever visited?! 😍👇🏻

Ummm, what do you mean?! Is that even a question?! 🤣 Obviously, I’ll be decking the halls, putting up Christmas trees, and baking and decorating Christmas cookies! 🎄🍪🎅🏻

I mean, ’tis the season, right?! 😜

Listen, Christmas decorating is my Super Bowl, and I fully intend to soak up EVERY second of the holiday season while I can! If that means putting up my Christmas decorations before Halloween is even over, then so be it! 🤣

And just because my Christmas trees are up doesn’t mean I can’t still enjoy my Reese’s pumpkins while I’m decorating! Best of both worlds, if you ask me! 😆

So tell me… are you team Christmas starts November 1st, or team wait until after Thanksgiving?! 👀 No judgment here… okay, maybe a little! 🤣
POV: You thought your cat would look adorable in h POV: You thought your cat would look adorable in his Halloween costume… but he had other plans. 🦁😹

I thought Toby was going to be the CUTEST little lion for Halloween this year, but apparently he did NOT agree with my vision! 🤣 He ripped that lion’s mane off faster than I could even get a good picture!

At least I have video proof that he was a lion for approximately 5 seconds before deciding he was DONE with Halloween costumes. 😂🦁

Please tell me I’m not the only crazy cat mom who buys adorable Halloween costumes for cats who absolutely refuse to wear them?! 😹👇🏼
