😭😂😂 Y’ALL… the sheer TERROR. I have never been so scared in my entire life! 😭

➡️ Send this to someone who needs a good laugh. 😂 

So I was staying at an Airbnb 🏡 and the owner left me free tickets 🎟️ to a local Christmas light show in an envelope. I thought, oh fun, I love Christmas lights… let’s go!!! 🎅✨🎶 l didn’t do any research before heading out… it’s just Christmas lights, right? 🎄😅

I start driving through 🚗🎄, filming cute content for about five minutes 🎥✨, vibing out to Christmas music 💫 Then all of a sudden I take a turn and I’m on a DARK, deserted dirt road 🌑😳 No cars. No more Christmas lights. Nothing. My stomach DROPPED 😭💀 

Next thing I know… I start seeing LIVE animals 🦌🐐😳 Like fully exotic animals staring at my car. I knew there was an animal park nearby, so I genuinely thought I had accidentally driven into some restricted back road or farm area I was NOT supposed to be in 🚫🌾. I was completely alone, totally confused, and absolutely terrified!! 

Nobody told me anything about animals and I personally did not see any signs. No warning. No food to feed the animals 🫠 Just me… my car… and animals surrounding me in the pitch dark 😭💀 I almost had a heart attack!!!

As I kept driving (trying to find a way out 😅), I went through MORE animals 🐾🐾… and then suddenly MORE Christmas lights 🎄✨ Come to find out later — the animals are actually part of the experience 😳 WHICH would be totally MAGICAL… if you know ahead of time!!! 😂✨
For families, this would be such a fun and unforgettable night 🎄❤️. For me? I was completely caught off guard and truly traumatized for life 💀😂 I had my phone filming the lights, so everything you’re seeing is my real, raw, unfiltered fear!!! 

If you’d like to experience a drive-through Christmas light show with exotic animals, it honestly is a really cool and unique concept - especially if you know what’s coming!!! 😂
Please enjoy my sheer terror & I hope you laugh as hard as I have been while watching these videos back!!!

😆 Not only are they spreading peace, they’re also hilarious!!! 

Watch as one of the monks delivers this funny, most unexpected speech about North Carolina!!! 👏👏👏

This moment makes me smile every single time I watch it, so I had to share it with you guys too! I honestly never expected them to be so funny, but how beautiful is it that they’re spreading not just peace, but joy and laughter too!!! 🙌🙌🙌

These monks are walking over 2,300 miles on foot, carrying a simple but powerful message — peace, compassion, kindness, and unity. They began their journey in Texas and are making their way to Washington, D.C., stopping in communities along the way to remind us that peace doesn’t have to be heavy — it can be joyful too.

Send this to someone who could use a little laughter and a lot of enlightenment today 🤍
This is the energy we need in our daily lives.

Beyond grateful for the monks who visited North Carolina and shared not just wisdom — but also joy! 🕊️✨

🕊️ HISTORY WAS MADE IN RALEIGH, NC 🕊️

The Walk for Peace monks stopped here today and something incredible happened!!! North Carolina became the FIRST state where the governor formally stepped out to honor the monks and officially declared a holiday: @nc_governor 
✨ Walk For Peace Day 🤍 January 24, 2026 ✨

And let me just say this — North Carolina you showed UP and showed OUT today!!!! 🙌🤍
This community came together in the most beautiful way.

These monks are walking over 2,300 miles on foot, carrying one message with them everywhere they go — peace, compassion, kindness, and unity.
No politics. No division. Just presence, love, and humanity.

From Texas… through our communities…
🛤️ NEXT STOP: WASHINGTON, D.C.

Truly one of the most powerful, grounding, and inspiring experiences I’ve ever witnessed!!!! 
In a world that feels loud and divided, today was a reminder that peace still moves people forward ….one step at a time. 🤍  @walkforpeace.usa

🍦✨🔥 Build your own ice cream masterpiece?! YES PLEASE. 🤤 @paletasmorelia 

This spot in Raleigh, North Carolina is straight-up dessert heaven—and you get to customize everything!

From creamy dips like hazelnut & white chocolate 🍫 to crunchy cookie coatings 🍪 and gooey drizzle toppings 🍯—the combos are endless! I went all in with pistachio cookie crumbs, toasted marshmallow, and a warm chocolate dip that’s basically magic. 💫

And let’s talk about their NEW Dubai chocolate… rich, decadent, and served up on a popsicle stick like luxury on ice 😍🍫

Here’s how it works ⬇️
🍡 Step 1: Pick your popsicle! They’ve got classic flavors and super refreshing fresh fruit ones—I loved the mango! 🍓🍍
🍫 Step 2: Dip it in warm, melty chocolate—milk, white, dark, or hazelnut!
🍪 Step 3: Roll it in your favorite toppings… crushed cookies, nuts, sprinkles, coconut, you name it!
🔥 Bonus: You can even get it wrapped in a toasted waffle cone or turned into a sandwich 👀

All their treats are made with 100% all-natural ingredients—and yes, they’ve got gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free options too! 🙌💚

This is THE perfect and refreshing sweet treat and you’re going to want to check them out!!!

🤯⛰️💦 This is seriously one of the most INSANE places I’ve ever stayed at!!! Hidden just outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee, this brand new mountain escape feels like something straight out of a dream.
@raleighwanderlust @theglampingcollective 

The property features an UNBELIEVABLE heated cliff edge infinity pool built directly into the rock with a massive waterfall pouring down into the water below 😍 We spent the afternoon swimming, jumping in, relaxing by the pool, and soaking in the most INCREDIBLE mountain views the entire time!!!! ⛰️😭 It honestly did not even feel real!!!

And somehow it gets even better because you’ll stay inside one of their stunning luxury mountaintop glamping domes complete with a private hot tub, cozy fire pit, rain shower, beautiful modern design, and everything you need for the ultimate relaxing getaway 🌿✨ 

There’s even an area with a huge fire pit where you can hang out, and roast marshmallows at night 🔥🤍

They also have hiking trails, nearby cliffside adventures, cozy grotto vibes, and so many incredible places to explore around Chattanooga!!! 

This is truly the adventure of a lifetime and one of those places you’ll never forget 🤍

🌸✨ NORTH CAROLINA’S PRETTIEST SPRING GARDEN ✨🌸

One of my absolute FAVORITE FREE things to do in the spring is visiting the cherry blossoms @sarahpdukegardens 🌸🤍

It is absolutely breathtaking… so scenic… and hands down the perfect spot to take photos 📸 and soak in all the dreamy spring beauty 🌿🌷✨ It truly feels like you’ve stepped into a soft pink fairytale.

Here’s what you need to know BEFORE you go 👇🏼

🌸 GET READY FOR CHERRIES!
Cherry blossoms typically bloom in March, but exact timing is hard to predict each year 🌤️🌸
Be sure to check their website + cherry blossom updates before heading out so you catch peak bloom!

🚧 Important Visitor Changes This Year:
• ❌ No visitor parking Monday–Friday
→ Strongly recommend using alternative transportation on weekdays 🚶🏼‍♀️🚲
• 🚗 Limited parking Saturday & Sunday in the Duke University H Lot
📍 2000 Lewis St. (next to the temporary Gardens pedestrian entrance)
• 🐶 Dogs are only permitted before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m.
