Dear D'Arcy

Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now

Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Friday! Is it me or do the weeks keep going by faster and faster? I’ve had the whole week to myself, as my guys went to Las Vegas for a Formal one-race week. I was supposed to go and decided I would really like to have time alone at home to get caught up and get things done. Although I did accomplish quite a bit, I didn’t get everything checked off my list, and a little disappointed that tie just flies by. Do you ever feel like that? Or do we just try to accomplish too much in too short of time?

What’s Happening today

Today, I decided to do a little different share for Friday, As all of the Black Friday sales are starting or starting soon, I thought it would be a good idea to combine a great gift guide that is all items on SALE. Who doesn’t want to purchase great gifts and get them on sale? A sales round-up with shopping links and discount codes to save even more was something I thought you would love.

My Black Friday Sales Guide Starts Now, Some sales have already started and some are starting any day. I have shared the dates and easy links (just tap on the brand name and It will take you straight to shopping) Make sure to use the codes I’ve provided at checkout as some are stackable for more savings. Again thank you for using my links as I receive a tiny commission at no cost to you, which helps my small business. 

Below you’ll find a fun gift guide for her, of items all on sale, As well as a full Sale round-up of all the Brands I love and know you love too. Happy Sales shopping, OX

Affordable and Safe Gift Idea’s for the Beauty Lov Affordable and Safe Gift Idea’s for the Beauty Lover ❤️🎁

As part of my Melanoma Facial Cancer Journey…. One of the things I’ve learned is the importance of what we put on our skin, and as well as in our bodies and homes.

The average woman applies approximately 12 personal care products each day, which collectively contain about 168 unique harmful & toxic chemical ingredients. 

Finding out the truth about Toxic skin care is one of the main reasons for the rise of skin cancers. As well as Hormone disruption, and a chain of other issues.

Shocking right? This year I have made it a mission to “Clean” up my beauty and make-up drawers, as well as what my family puts in our bodies, our Homes.

Little changes can make a “BIG difference,  one swap out, each time, it’s time to replace an item.

I am here to share with you, the clean choice. 
Follow along as I share more of This/Not that. 

This Holiday Season, I will be sharing several “clean” option Gift ideas 🎁🎁🎁

For everyone on your list, that our family uses and loves. 

Here’s My Picks for Affordable Drug Store Make-up & Beauty Lovers… With a darling Velvet Bags to put it all in🎁 

If you’re in need of a little Glow this Holiday season… here’s a few things for you to try too.

🚨 gift sets are BOGO right now 

Comment “Clean” and I’ll send you all the details and links.⬇️

❤️Please note , I am not a Dr. and there’s a lot of research on this topic, you can easily research it for yourself, I am just sharing what’s working for me and my family.

—Part 9–

—5th Laser surgery yesterday & Update— and STAGES

➡️Slide through  slides ➡️
To view where it started and where I am NOW

 12 weeks  after surgery is when I started my First (Scar revision treatment) laser treatment round 5 CO2 doing Excel V Laser treatment.
I will have 1 every 6 weeks until my scar is gone.. 

🚨Scar revision 
C02 2 kinds of laser
Deep core - (first 2 treatments and my 4th and 5th treatments) this is concentrating on the scare tissue underneath 
Or EXcel V - (3rd treatment) (my 6th & 7th treatment will be this) 
*Excel V - redness & topical
*Deca- core & topical 

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 8 other parts with all the info and my Journey to date in Feed and stories saved to highlights with more info.

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

I love that❤️ 

I feel so many Women, don’t give themselves enough credit…

As Moms, Wives, business owners, hard workers and the “doers”
They’re doing it all and carrying the weight …most of the time with a smile, and hiding a worry, a weakness or guilt!

Remember you are STRONG.. you are a force … and it’s ok to not to give a dam what others think… 

And sometimes… it’s ok not to Give a  dam “what’s for dinner!”😉🥰
Or that the laundry didn’t get done, or that your Christmas Tree isn’t up after Halloween…

Sometimes the “give a dam” can turn back on tomorrow 😉❤️

Happy November pretty ladies, remember as we head into a “moms” busiest season… it’s important to take care of yourself, breathe and know when to turn on/off your “give a dam switch” 😉❤️🥰
