2 Ways to Wear a Heart Sweater: Valentine’s Day

2 Ways to Wear a Heart Sweater: Valentine’s Day

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I don’t know about you, but I am so happy we are at the end of January and headed into the month of love. February has a special place in my heart as it’s my hubby’s Birthday, our anniversary, and Valentine’s Day, which gives me something to look forward to almost every week. Which also helps a winter month go by fast. 

Another thing I love about February is the clothing. Hearts, pink and red, bows, bling, romantic and sexy clothing, all the pretty things, it’s so many of my favorite things. Did you know several of these items will also be on trend for 2024? Which the romantic in me loves! This month, I will be sharing all of the above, and I can’t wait for you to see what I’ve been creating and working on for you. 

I am sharing 2 Ways to Wear an Amazon Heart Sweater for Valentine’s Day today. This look can be worn for Day and night by changing the 3rd piece. I’ve talked about the “3rd piece” rule several times, as it’s the 3rd piece that finishes off the outfit.

 12 weeks  after my First (Scar revision treatment) laser treatment round 3 CO2 doing Excel V Laser treatment.

🚨Scar revision 
C02 2 kinds of laser
Deep core - (first 2 treatments)
Or EXcel V - (3rd treatment)

I was diagnosed in December, Surgery in January and my first laser in February.

I’ve been sharing this Journey in hopes to help encourage you to make a skin check up appointment. 

Melanoma Cancer is deadly and very different from Skin Cancer.

Melanoma cancer is deadly,  early detection is key, before it can spread to lymph nodes, organs, &  blood. 

If your new here or just seeing this post, I have 6 other parts with all the info and my Journey to date in Feed and stores saved to highlights with more info.

Thank you for all the kind messages, comments and prayers! I appreciate you being apart of my tribe.

What I DIDN’T do to prepare for…Midlife🌸💕 I Didn’t What I DIDN’T do to prepare for…Midlife🌸💕
I Didn’t Worry about it…

Really, why worry about aging… instead YOU can prepare for it!

Knowledge is power, and Midlife now is completely different than how our mothers and grandmothers dealt with it. 

We have more information, conversation, products and help on the topic than generations before.

What you can do to Prepare for Menopause/aging….

-Eat well, 

-Exercise 

-Get outside and get real vitamin D 

- Drink lots of water

-Take supplements that will help the processes

- Ask questions

-Go to a Hormonal Doctor

-Share what works for you with Friends💕

- Get more Protein and Fiber

- Get sleep (it’s hard but figure out what works for you)

💕These are just a few things that can help! (I am not a Doctor) just sharing things I have found that really make a difference.

I am all about A Granny Summer… This COCO has bee I am all about A Granny Summer…

This COCO has been gardening what feels like my whole life, my mom loved gardening and her English gardens were beautiful, her tomatoes and herbs always yummy;) she taught me what each flower & veggies types were and how to grow & care for them etc. 

She would teach our boys “how to smell”  not really, but she would walk them around had have them smell each flower and how they smelt differently.. they’re puffing noses were so cute❤️

Gardening has always been apart of my life , every home, it was fun to rebuild and create… Try new things, depending on the land etc. it’s hard work, yet relaxing and so rewarding…. 

Over the years, I taught myself how to seed my flowers and veggies, what I could dry and harvest, how to can, what I liked to bake with, and  what freezes well. 

I would teach our boys, have them help pick apples and berries, take them to garden shops and have them pick favorites and let them plant, they would dig and help pull weeds… 

Gardening isn’t just for Grannies… it’s a hobby or career you can pick up at any age, but I have to say,  I can’t wait to take our NEW Grandson out to the gardens and learn, dig and plant…. He’s only 6 months and we already know he loves nature, and he loves plants.. he’s at peace in nature and loves to touch all the different plants and trees… he  loves the leaves slightly blowing in the breeze…. He’ll just stare, It’s so cute! 

With age, I do enjoy it more, as I enjoy the slower moments and the time gardening takes…

How about you? How do you feel about gardening?🌱🪴🌻🫛🪏🏡🧑‍🌾🫜⛲️

Ben & I had the opportunity to check out a preview from the NEW menu and everything was delicious. 

We also had the chance to make our own pizzas. It was such a fun activity, for a date night.

I am picky about my pizza’s dough, and they make their dough in house fresh daily with fresh ingredients,  and even better imported cheese 🍕quality you can taste. 

Fini’s just opened in Utah City (Vineyard) 

The Cafe severs NY Style coffees and cappuccinos, bagels  and smear, fresh baked, baked goods (the lemon poppyseed olive oil cake is delicious and sell a verity of NY favorite specialty grocery items and candies.

They be adding Sunday style dinners a couple nights a week, including their pasta, sandwiches, steaks  and salads 

A must… to finish off your meal, is a must try gelato fresh made daily 🍋🍋‍🟩

🍕Save this post … for a place you’ll want to eat…

We can’t wait to go back, and take our family… they’re going to love it..

Tip: if you’ve live in Northern Utah, it’s worth the drive and you can take a beautiful drive down Provo canyon…

I bet you won’t believe me!! Guess where I found I bet you won’t believe me!!

Guess where I found these Darling Lemon Plates?🍋

Would you believe the Dollar Store for $1.50 each…

They had matching dinner plates, bowls and mugs… But Honestly…

A Great TIP is just to buy the Salad plates… Having an assortment of Themed or decorative salad plates can really change up your regular china for the seasons..

It’s an affordable tip that goes a long way, if you have A solid color china.

Plus a salad plate could also be used for a bread or dessert plate. 

I also like a little salad plate to serve a little breakfast muffin, bagel or croissant on…. 

You know I am a big advocate of romanticizing your everyday life and have a mixture of seasonal, yet affordable dishes can do just that…Don’t save your good china for “that” special occasion…. Use it daily❤️
