What to Wear and Do on A Girl’s Trip

What to Wear and Do on A Girl’s Trip

What to Wear and Do on A Girl's Trip

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Are you as happy to see the weekend as I am? Today, I am joining my friend, Dawn, with Party Til Dawn with a blog and Instagram share. Recapping our girlfriend’s “work and play” girl’s trip. We had the pleasure of combining work and play for a fun Girl’s weekend. Shopping, Hair, nails or a spa day, wine tasting, watching a movie, and dining are always delightful on a girl’s trip in Kirkland, Washington. 

What to Wear and Do on a Girl’s Trip to Seattle (a suburb of Seattle) Kirkland, Washington.

What to Wear and Do on A Girl's Trip

A little look back at my girl’s weekend with Dawn. We stayed at the beautiful Heathman Hotel in Kirkland, WA. Located just a block from Lake Washington and surrounded by great restaurants and shopping, it is a must-stay when you visit! You are also just minutes away from Shop Totem Lake. The Heathman has a beautiful lobby to cozy up next to the fire with a cup of coffee to start your day. And an excellent onsite restaurant and bar where we shared appetizers and drinks after a long work day.

Shop Totem Lake in Washington is the sister shopping center to Utah’s Station Park, which Dawn and I work with regularly on content creation. Dawn features Totem lake often, and I feature Station Park. We have now had the pleasure of working with each other at our locations while combining work and Play with a girl’s trip.

Sunday

A little sleeping in and enjoying a coffee with a view in my room, wearing Print Fresh PJ, of course. (You know these are some of my go-to pj’s) The Heathman has in-room coffee, tea, and comfy couches, and my room had a pretty view overlooking the cute shops across the street.

Print fresh Pj’s perfect for sleep and lounging on a Sunday morning. With all the fun prints and stylish sets, Printfresh pj’s are my go-to pj’s for Travel.

A Walk & Breakfast at Kirkland bakery right across from the  Hotel, and of so good we had to stop by multiple times.

This bakery and coffee house had the best croissants (like I was in Paris, and I am not joking). So good I took a box home for the guys. Everything we tried, we loved. Isn’t that one of your favorite things to do while traveling? Trying out and tasting the foods.

WOODINVILLE WINE COUNTRY

Yes, Seattle has a wine culture; who knew? Dawn and I met one of Dawn’s followers, Karin, for this fun experience. (now Karin and I follow each other and chat via dm daily) Another fun part of our job is building relationships that turn into friendships. We had a fun day experiencing three different wineries, tasting three wines per winery owned and created by women.

-2 Cups Mix Shredded Cheese 

– Cooked Bacon crumbled

-1/2 cube melted butter

– 1 Cup green onions

Cook potatoes in the oven or Microwave (I like to do this the day before) Makes putting together skins quick. 

Cut in half and scoop out centers in a bowl (save to make mashed potatoes or Potato soup at a later date). Lay on sprayed baking sheet

-Brown and season your meat of choice.

-Coat each potato with melted butter and salt and pepper to taste

-Fill potato 1/2 way with meat, then layer shredded cheese. Top with bacon & green onions and bake in the oven at 350 until cheese is melted (15-20 min depending on range)

New Year’s Target Home Refresh

New Year's Target Home Refresh

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Christmas has been taken down, and the house feels a little empty. I love doing a little home refresh in January. How about you? Adding just a few pieces to your home decor can give a minor update. I found a few pieces at Target to freshen up your home, whether you’re looking for a small amount of furniture, a new lamp, or a great coffee table book to inspire you. Target has some great affordable pieces.

I love changing up my dish towels and refreshing the pillows. It’s a great affordable way to give a little update/refresh to your home. Adding a new piece of art or a mirror can give your room a new look, while a new little accent piece, like a chair or a small dresser, can change the room’s look. 

Here are my picks from Target:

Upholstered Natural Wood Accent Chair – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia

 

16″ Faux Olive Leaf Potted Plant – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia

 

3-Drawer Wood Dresser – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia

 

Assembled Resin Table Lamp Tan – Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee.

 

 

Shiraleah Decorative Montecito Jug Vase

 

 

Rolling Hills Framed Wall Canvas Green – Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee

 

Cozy Feathery Knit Border Striped Throw Blanket – Threshold

 

Cable Knit Throw Pillow – Threshold

 

30″ x 42″ French Country Wall Mirror

Cheaters Homemade Garlic Bread

January 8, 2023

Cheaters Homemade Garlic Bread

Cheaters Homemade garlic bread

Hello, Pretty ladies.

Today’s Sunday recipe is one of my Family’s all-time favorite garlic bread! I shared a little of their reaction below. I hope you try this recipe, and let me know in the comments. Have a great Sunday. 

 

Homemade Garlic bread!

Cheaters Homemade Garlic Bread! This is so dang good I have to make two loaves for this Family of 7!

Garlic Bread Recipe:

Loaf Rhodes Frozen Bread

One cube butter

One tablespoon of  minced garlic

 Tablespoon (1) Garlic Seasoning

1/2 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning

NOTE: This Bread is not for someone on a diet 🙂 

How to:

First, Place the frozen loaf on a cooking sheet lined with parchment paper, and cover it with a linen dishtowel.

(or cheesecloth) let rise. (follow directions on the bag) Bread rising usually takes ALL day. I’ll get this ready at about 9:00 am to make for dinner around 6:00 pm. When risen, bake at 350 until golden brown. (follow the direction on the packaging.)  While Bread is baking, melt a cube of butter in the microwave, then add garlic and seasoning and mix. 

When Bread is out of the oven, brush on a heavy coating of the Butter mixture. Let excellent for about 10-15 minutes slice (Bread will still be warm and will sink, it’s ok), then coat each piece with more butter mixture. Serve hot and almost gooey. 

Family’s reaction:

This Bread is a family favorite, and when my Family sees it on the counter in the morning, they literally jump for joy. They’ll eat two whole loaves; if I made three, that would get eaten too. It’s so rich, soaked in butter and garlic. It’s heavenly! I serve this Bread with soups, Pasta, and even salads. If you watch my instastories, and I hope you do, you’ve seen me make it several times while staying at home was in place. ( heck, probably one of the reasons I’ve gained 10 pounds!) 😛 

How did it get its name? Well…Cheaters because, well, you cheating and not making the loaf from scratch! Nobody’s got time for that! Insert Giggle! Hence, I named it My cheater’s homemade garlic bread.

 

Thank you

5 make up products from 2022

January 6, 2023

Five makeup products from 2022 changed my skin’s look and how I did my makeup.

5 make up products from 2022

Hello pretty ladies, 

I hope your first week of the new year is going well. I wanted to share five makeup products that significantly changed how I did my makeup and what it did for my skin. Video HERE where you can get a visual. These five makeup products either helped give my skin a dewy/glow or helped me achieve a better or easier look. As we age, our skin loses its natural youthful glow. I found products that help achieve that glow without glitter sinking into pours. It is all about the light.

I had girlfriends comment on how good my skin was looking, and even though I will give a lot of credit to my skincare regimens, it was because of the products I added to my makeup routine that gave my skin the appearance they were noticing. 

 

✨ It’s all about the glow✨

 

Here’s what I used to get that dewy glow in 2022✨

5 make up products from 2022

Trinny London BFF serum

Trinny London BFF– de-stress-tinted skincare formula helps to reduce the appearance of everyday stress on the skin. Instantly plumped and radiated.

Use wear alone or layer for desired coverage. Great on aging skin, as it doesn’t settle into pores. 

 

5 make up products from 2022

Olivier Midy-Eclat Midy-Face oil

Olivier Midy face oil-It helps your skin and gives a beautiful glowy & dewy complexion. It allows makeup not to sink into pours and achieves that plumper, dewy completion. Apply all over after moisturizer.

See how to layer skincare HERE properly.

*Note the product is pricy, but you use very little, so it lasts a long time.

5 make up products from 2022

Charlotte Tilbury-Hollywood flawless filter

I wear  #3, fair pale, Hollywood Flawless filter

It gives you a youthful glow! This is a game changer in the glow department ✨✨✨ apply to the forehead, nose, and cheekbones before you apply your foundation or tint.

 

Charlotte Tilbury- Eyebrow set 3

Three products in one easy set!

–medium brown brow lift a pencil, 

–legendary brow= micro precision tinted brow gel

–Brow fix =brow serum gel to keep brows in place

It makes doing your eyebrows easy and fast✔️ This was something I struggled with, as I never really did anything to my brows as a teenager or later. Brows weren’t a big focus in the 90s, and mine had a natural shape. They were always very light, and so was my hair, so it never occurred to me to make them darker to frame the eye. (even in my modeling days, they never touched my brows)

Now, darker, more pronounced brows are a big trend. It’s funny how a brow style trends. I have read the thin 1990 brows are coming back. However, I will be sticking with my natural brow, darkened. The Charlotte Tilbury eyebrow pencil, tint, and gel help you to achieve easy shaping (pencil) and darkening (tinted brow gel) and stay put with the brow serum gel. 

5 make up products from 2022

Charlotte Tilbury- Filmstar Bronze & Glow

Contour and Highlight powder in light/medium/Clair-moven 

This due set comes in two sizes, so if you want to try it out, the small due is $29, Shown here. I just ordered the full size, as I love what it does for my skin. You apply as you would any highlighter on the forehead, nose, and cheekbones.

My morning Routine at Midlife✔️

It’s important to me to start my day off with a little time for myself… When my boys were little, I did try to get up before them and do some of the things I needed to do for myself to have a productive day.

Now, at midlife and no more littles, I really do try and do the things that help me have a productive day, while keeping me healthy.

That is setting aside a little quiet time for:

- Supplements
 @serovital 
-A glass of lemon water and Chia seeds✔️
-collagen in my coffee @vitalproteins 
- Some simple stretching (I walk later in the day)

-I light a candle

-Read my Devotional

- Pray (I have a prayer journal to keep track of those I am praying for

- Get my thoughts together for the day and make a list of To-do’s

-I think about what I want to make for dinner, so I can pull items out of freezer or add item to my todo list✔️

As the saying goes “Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.”

And another favorite:
“If you are failing to plan, you are planning to fail.” 

Tell me how do you start your day?
Are you a planner? Fly by the seat of your pants? Or a little of both?

Hope your having a great Wednesday!
