12 of My Favorite Things Right Now You Need for Spring!

April 8, 2021

12 Of My Favorite Things Right Now you need for Spring! When I say “favorite things,” I know some people think that word gets used too frequently, and “How could everything be your Favorite?” Well…I Like to think of it as Favorite’s right NOW because our favorites change, and better things come along. We also have tried and true favorite things (more as our staple favorites), so see, although the “FAVORITE Things” term can get overused, it still does have different meanings.

With that said, Welcome to 12 of MY Favorite Things right NOW, a series I will be doing monthly. Featuring ALL the things I am loving and using like crazy that I think you would like to know about. Think of it as your look into seasonal favorites, things that can make your life easier, pieces. You might wear the heck out of and that favorite product you might purchase over and over.

12 of My Favorite Things Right Now You Need for Spring!

#1. Quilted Slide heels = This season’s must-have sandal goes with everything, and I seriously wear them multiple times a week.

#2. Maggie Jeans= My all-time favorite jean right now. I have these in white, black, and regular denim. Yes, I have 3 pairs, that’s how good they are. I love them, so easy to style, can be dressed up or down. I have several outfit inspirations on my Instagram. This is a mom pair of jeans with so much style; your daughter will want to barrow!

#3. ShadeM Lipstick =Seriously the best lip stains, 18 different colors to choose from. It’s none drying and stays on all day.

#4. Gigi Pip =The perfect straw hat. I purchased this last year, and I was so glad it was back for this season. Perfect shape and looks good with every sundress, shorts outfits, and swimsuits.

#5. Candle= I love candles year-round, and this one had the perfect Spring scent, Hibiscus Sangria, and the color is so pretty it will make a cute jar when the candle is burnt down. $14

#6. Tee shirt Maxi dress = This Tee shirt maxi dress with side ruffle detail is cute and comfy. I’ve been wearing it to death with my denim jacket and sandals. It is perfect for travel as it rolls up easily, easy to style, and is worn with so many shoe styles. I may have to purchase in another color. $44

#7. Tula Spray =You know I love Tula products, and I use many from their line, but this Spray is perfect to perk up after a long day. Great for setting your makeup, perfect for traveling (airplanes are so drying), and I love taking it poolside for a little cooldown. I have a bottle in my bag, in my beauty fridge, and my travel bag.

#8. Tula 24/7 = This Tula 24/7 moisturizer is a must for dry skin. I use this every morning on my face and neck, and it really helps keep my face moisturized all day long. I was so happy it came in the travel pack too. HERE

#9. Tarte = Tarte beauty products are newer to me, as people raved about a couple of products. I need to go check out their site, and when I found this Matte eye shadow compact, I was so excited. As you age, it’s important not to wear glitters as they can show wrinkles more. It’s tough to find a shadow pack that doesn’t have glitters in it. THIS one is completely MATTE. No glitter. LOVE LOVE. ( I did purchase several items from Tarte shared HERE for everything I purchased)

#10. Soma Bra= These are the only bra’s I will wear now. Comfortable, supportive & can be worn under teeshirts. If you haven’t tried a Soma Bra, you really need to.

#11. Swimsuit= This One-piece, one-shoulder Swimsuit is a show stopper, easy to wear, and definitely splurge-worthy. I love that you can also wear this as a bodysuit with jeans and trousers. So cute.

#12. Maxi Dress = This Maxi dress is flattering on your shoulders; it looks pretty with a tan. It’s just the right amount of flow without too much fabric. It’s gorgeous for Summer events, vacations and perfects to wear all season long.

Quiet a list of Empties, right? I know, I really like to try out all of the products before giving the review, to provide the product with a full chance. Sometimes, Some product gets used faster and others last a long time, which can end up with a very large Empties review. And I also like to use alike products, some of the times to be able to have a comparison to share with you. This is why there are multiple shower gels or hair care products. etc.

I get so many products sent to me and items I do purchase as well that it’s so fun to share, which I often share in unboxings in my Instagram stories. Because I always state I will test out and give you a review, I know you like them and patiently wait. Sometimes it takes me a while to get to that product and to use it all. But I genuinely try and test out, it might just take me a little longer to bring you the results. I love being a product tester and I hope you love hearing about and shopping them here on my blog.

10 Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspiration You Can Copy!

February 5, 2021

10 Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspiration You Can Copy! Outfit inspiration is what you’re looking for? I’ve got you covered!

I wanted to put together outfits from my Valentine’s clothing rack that I shared the other day on Instagram. You could view it HERE if you missed it. It’s a great way to help you create outfits fast and use pieces in your closet you forget about. I’ll talk more about creating a seasonal clothing rack at another time as I know from all the feedback, this is a topic you want more of. (remember I did one for Fall and Christmas)

Creating Valentin’s outfits can be as easy as grabbing your red and pink items and adding fun accessories. I’ve shown below outfit creations from old pieces I’ve collected over the years and added new pieces. These outfits were created to be easy for you to copy by shopping items in your own closet. However, I did link the outfits if you wanted to add in a few new pieces. Some items may be sold out or no longer available. If that was the case, I linked similar items.

Under each outfit, I broke it down to a “menu,” if you will, to help you grab the like items and style the look from my inspiration. I hope this inspires you to go into your closet and create a fun look or two for the month of love.

Clothing Menu:

Jumpsuit cropped blazer, beret, heart necklace, and sexy heels. (jumpsuit is Eliza J and from last year)

Clothing Menu: Leather or Snakeskin jacket, festive sweater, jegging or leggings, booties, and heart glasses.

Shop this look HERE

Clothing Menu: A jacket, Lightweight sweater, jeggings or skinny jeans, sexy heels, hoops, and festive necklace

Shop this Look HERE

Clothing Menu: Sweater, cropped jeans, lace-up heels, sunnies, and bangle bracelets

Shop this look HERE

Clothing Menu: Hat, Leather jacket, sweater, pencil skirt, heels, and bangle bracelets

Shop this Look HERE

Clothing Menu: Teddy coat, graphic tee, solid tee, pencil skirt, Sunnies, bangles, and kicks.

Shop this look HERE

Clothing Menu: Joggers, Sweater, festive heels, and Festive jewelry.

Clothing Menu: Distressed cropped jeans, open toe heels, graphic tee, blazer, and statement earrings.

Flatlay inspo: I created a shop my post below: To help you create looks from these above flat lays.

Hoping to help you get the most out of your closet, use the above closet menus and start creating your festive outfits. Did you notice some of the pieces on repeat? Good, I wanted to show you ways to wear the same item of clothing. It’s important to get multiple uses out of your purchases.

Make sure to hop over to Instagram and tune into my stories for all things Valentines and tomorrow for our Home tour collab video. Coming up on the blog next is Valentine’s home decor and tablescape. See below for more exciting happenings TODAY!

Happy Month of love. OX, D’Arcy

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

January 20, 2021

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

Let’s talk fitness, Not something I talk a lot about. Fitness isn’t something I really talk about because, well… I don’t really love it! I have found as I have gotten older, it’s even more important to stay active. I’m not a gym girl at all. However, I do love pilates, yoga, and weight classes. It’s not something I do regularly, but I am really trying hard to do. Adding these in more regularly has been something I am working on. I’ve always been very flexible; this has started to change. Losing my flexibility was something I didn’t want to lose, and I have prioritized staying flexible.

I have found I really like a good walk with my hubby, friends or family. A good hike with the girls is always fun and an adventure, and being outside in the fresh air and getting the much-needed vitamin C is how I prefer to get in my exercise. With that being said, I do know how important it is to keep your flexibility and muscle mass up. This year, I am making a better attempt to add in some strength training, a kettlebell, and more yoga and pilates. Adding in meditation, which is completely new to me but has been much needed for my mind and spirit.

Here are a few pieces I love, perfect for workouts, hikes, and even lounging.

Above I thought I would share some of the things I am loving and using right now.

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

Lulu lemon sports bra= I love the soft fabric and support.
Lulu Lemon Legging= I love it comes in 3 lengths (I need the longest). These are not see-through like some of the Lululemons I’ve had before. The fabric is butter soft and holds you in.
Yoga mat= I love everything about this mat, the feel, the comfort, and the design.
Northface jacket= I love a puffer jacket, and it is much needed in Utah. Winter and even Spring walks can be very chilly. Warm, comfortable, and stylish.
Water bottle= I really love the timelines marked to keep me on track. Drinking a lot of water daily has always been important to me, and this really helps.
Kettelbell= 10 pounds, not a ton of weight, but it gives you a good workout.
Meditation cushion= perfect for that quiet time. I love the look and comfort.
Collagen powder= So important for your joints and gives benefits to your hair, nails, and skin as well.
Walking shoes= so affordable and comfortable. I love the color.

Collagen is something everyone needs but even more important as we age. I add it to my coffee or tea in the morning. I have seen a huge difference in my hair and nails but, most importantly, my knees.

Yoga is great for flexibility, core strength, and your mind. If your weather is nice, try it outside, I promise you’ll love the sense of peace. Not to mention the importance of Vitamin C. Grab a girlfriend if you need a little nudge. (I use a Yoga class on Youtube) You only need 15-30 mins a day to see results. Here’s one I like HERE. For a successful Meditation, you really only need 10-15 min a day. Meditation HERE

I am so happy to share my blogging Friends with you today. Please hop over to their blogs to see ways they get in fitness!

Holiday Outfit Ideas for 2020

December 9, 2020

Holiday Outfit Idea’s for 2020, well, really for any Holiday year! So whether you’re playing it casual, Holiday shopping, staying in Pj’s or getting festive for a small Holiday party. I created Holiday outfit inspirations. Therefore, you should be able to shop your closet or add some new pieces to your Holiday wardrobe collection.

Holiday wardrobe

I say Holiday wardrobe collection, well, because it’s good to have a collection of fun Holiday pieces that you can add to every year and mix and match with current pieces to create new looks. And it should be looked at like building a wardrobe because building a Holiday wardrobe gives you a great collection to create outfits with ease. I have had some of the pieces for years, and I love pulling them all out year after year and seeing how I can wear it this year. Because looking festive for the whole season is not only fun but creates more cheer!

I hope this post really inspires you to dig in your closet and see if you have “like items” to help you create a fun Holiday outfit. As I said, a lot of my pieces are older and not shoppable, but I will create a shop this post for the items you can still purchase if you want to add a couple of pieces into your Holiday outfit collection.

I was wearing a green dress from Eliza J’s Holiday collection last year in the photos above. (photo this year) Shop this season’s dresses BELOW. You really could use any Green or red dress, layer with an oversize cardigan or boyfriend cardigan (black and white buffalo check is a shirt/jacket), tall boots, and a beanie to create this look. Perfect for Holiday lunch with the girlfriends, Helping out for Holiday school parties, or switch the boots for heels and add festive jewelry for a festive party look.

Holiday Sparkle

Here are a couple of dressed-up sparkly outfits, just if you are attending something a little more festive. I know this year’s Holiday party situation might look a little different. Therefore, it doesn’t mean you can’t get dolled up. I am one that is always a game for being overdressed! (hehe) I also am game for hosting a small Holiday party; let’s face it, we all need cheer! Both of these looks are still available:) Shop the post below:

Holiday Pj’s and Loungewear

This sure has been the year of loungewear and pj’s! Christmas pj’s have always been a family tradition since I was a child, and I continued the tradition with my family. We don’t necessarily have matching pj’s, just festive. Above I showed a couple of ways you could take your pj’s and loungewear to the next Holiday level. By adding fun winter and holiday accessories, it’s not just pj’s. It’s a PJ outfit! By outfit, I do not mean appropriate to wear shopping! (hehe)

The plaid pj’s are still available to shop, and I found some “like” items if you don’t already have something similar. Shop below:

Casual Holiday

More of you have stated you take the casual approach to Holiday outfit looks. Above I created several Holiday flat lays to inspire you. As I stated above, I like to dress all month festively, from running errands to attending a girl’s lunch, helping out at school, or shopping. You’ll catch me in one of these looks.

Really easy to create and even easier to wear. Most of these looks are created with a base of jeans and a sweatshirt, then layered with seasonal accessories to give them the festive vibe. Note the jewelry, shoes and winter beanies, gloves, and scarves. As a result, give that Holiday winter vibe.

See why collecting is a must? A couple of tips for a good collection. For instance, look for sale items (even after the holiday, when everything is on sale!) Perfect time to grab items to stash away in your Holiday box. Yes! I said Box. Like our Holiday decor, create a Holiday clothing and accessory box! You only use those pieces for the Holiday’s so why take up valuable space in your closet year-round. Plus, it helps keep all your items together to create fun looks fast. Another great Tip is to Grab a great festive ribbon and use it as a belt. The ribbon is cheaper than purchasing a bow belt, and you can create a couple of them! For instance, the Large red ribbon belt I created above, so festive and really completed the outfit and just for a couple of bucks.

Shop Like items below:

I hope you enjoyed some of my Holiday outfits for 2020 and left you inspired to create some festive looks this season. Now go check out my girlfriend’s blogs below for even more inspiration. Have a wonderful week, and make sure to add some cheer into your week. OX, D’Arcy

How to Keep your Immunity Up This Season!

How to Keep your Immunity Up This Season, Supplements for immunity!

TALKING Immune System and staying Healthy in these times. Sharing these tips with you to HELP you and your family stay healthy this SEASON. I know many people are scared in these times, and I want to share HOW I keep my family healthy and keep their immune systems up, especially in these times. Using Supplements for immunity boosts.

How to Keep your Immunity Up This Season and what Supplements for immunity we use.

My family and I take vitamin D3 and C plus magnesium to absorb the D3 And immunity boosters like Elderberry. If I feel drained, I’ll take zinc (my family too) with Echinacea. I also love Oscillococcinum HERE (I have used this product for over 8 years & it stops a cold in its tracks!) I have shared this product over the years here and on Instagram.

Now, I have traveled every month since May. Taking travel precautions and following safety guidelines, of course, and keeping my immunities up. Keeping with this regimen, I haven’t gotten sick. I’ve Been to NYC, California, AZ, Nv, Tx, MT., and Id! I’ve been in planes, trains, subways, taxis, and even a boat. Having been able to live my life, support small businesses and stay healthy. I know taking these supplements and following these simple healthy tips are a BIG part of why my family and I have stayed healthy. Getting outside for 15 to 20 min a day to absorb sunlight and natural vitamin D. It is also essential to exercise, 20 to 30 minutes, even a quick walk will help, and remember to eat healthily. This may seem really basic but very important to overall health and keeps your immune system high.

My High schooler ( who has a low immune system) has been sent home for two weeks, twice, because he was exposed 😭 to Covid19 (never getting sick). Even his girlfriend was exposed, her whole family got Covid. Therefore she had to come to stay with us for two weeks…Our family remained healthy. (every time we were possible exposed, we did take the recommended precautions to keep others safe) We remained healthy through all of these cases; Now, we don’t believe this was just luck. Because we truly believe it is as simple as what you put into your body.

Tips🚨 I learned that are very important:

Magnesium is VERY, VERY important! I learned this years ago from my hormone Dr and thought it’s so important to share. Magnesium is needed to absorb the D3…we’re all very low on D3…and even more so if in Menopause and where you live is a factor! Did you know 80% of covid patients had a vitamin D deficiency? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Who knew… I’ve been taking the Magnesium and Vitamin D3 regimen for 4 years…Also, important to know when purchasing a Vit D, it needs to have the 3.

Hopefully, this will encourage you to try some of our regimens, and I hope sharing our regimen can help you & your family stay healthy. OX, D’Arcy
