  4. Last after a shower

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you had a beautiful March. It sure went fast!

I am doing a fast recap of my March Best Sellers! These are the items I shared with you, my following, and you loved as much as I did and shopped my links! Which then became the most purchased items of the month.

I have realized you ladies love Best Seller-type blog posts, and It’s fun to feature a monthly recap of the best sellers every month. I appreciate those who read my blog, shop my links and follow me on social media platforms. Your support is how I get to do what I love.

9 Best Sellers For March 2022

Shop the Photo Below:

 

 

  1. Camo Stripe Neoprene bag– This bag is the perfect bag for travel or to take to the pool/beach and comes with a mini zipper pouch bag. 
  2. New Balance sneakers– that sell out in every color are so cool that I have influenced several influencers. They look great with everything from joggers and jeans to dresses! I own four different colorways now!
  3. Girl Boss Hoop Earrings– These square hoop earrings come in two sizes (I have both). I adore hoops, and these are a fun take on the traditional circle hoop! It makes a great gift and goes with every outfit!
  4. Wide Leg Pant– these Cloth & Stone pants are a Spring & Summer Staple. An easy-to-wear pant that travels well and looks great on every figure. If there was perfect Summer pant, these are them! (True to size)
  5. Fab Fur Slippers– These indeed are FAB, I have similar ones that cost me way more money, and these are fluffier and have a more comfortable cushy sole. These would also make a great affordable gift!
  6. Smith Rosebud lip set– A 3 piece lip balm, gloss set! So good I have them everywhere. Your lips will love you. Another great affordable gift. (Easter Baskets and Mother’s Day!)
  7. Donna Karen Deoterant– I have been using this deodorant for over 16 years, I love the smell, and it works so well. I love the Nordstrom lowered the price to $25 from $30 ( I buy the three-pack every Norstrom 1/2 yearly sale)
  8.  Soma Barlette-Not only is it pretty, it has good support, and the lace isn’t itchy! I highly recommend this cute bralette. It also looks pretty peeking out of a blazer or under an off-the-shoulder top. 
  9. Free People Maggie Jean– I love these edgy yet cool jeans. I love the way it fits, the way you can create several different looks that I own in several color washes. I style them with rocker tees and blazers to pretty lacey tops and heels—one of my go-to pairs of jeans.

Self-Tanner season, 2 New body products by Tula to help!

Finally, Self-Tanner season, 2 New body products by Tula to help!

Self-Tanner season, 2 New body products by Tula to help!

 

Hello Pretty ladies,

Can you believe we are at the end of March already? I honestly can’t. It flew by for me. I know I had a lot going on with three trips and Our son’s birthday. But, it helped make a month that usually drags on for me fly by. 

March has also been unusually warm in Utah, which makes me happy. There is nothing like longer sunny days to help you get in the mood for Spring. Spring means Spring break, warmer vacations, pretty dresses, and simpler clothing. Which also means a need for Self Tanner in a big way for me? How about you?

I was so excited Tula launched a New body product line to help you Hydrate and polish your skin. Perfect timing for prepping your skin for self-tanners. In Utah, it’s so dry we need all the help we can get. Still, it’s essential to have buffed, exfoliated, and hydrated skin before applying self-tanner for the tanner to go on smooth and streak-free. Happy to introduce Tula’s Advanced Hydrating body moisturizer & Revitalizing Exfoliating body wash. 

Advanced Hydrating Body moisturizer,  this buttery cream instantly hydrates skin, leaving a natural, luminous glow that feels soft & supple—never greasy or sticky. Skincare-first ingredients yuzu & Vitamin C help improve the look of tone and texture, while hyaluronic acid & ceramides deeply moisturize and help improve skin softness. A subtle, comforting vanilla coconut scent makes this a body routine staple. So give the other 90% of your skin the kindness & indulgence it deserves.

Revitalizing Exfoliating Body Wash, This instant refresh for the body deeply cleanses and buffs away dull skin with lemon peel and hibiscus flower acid, improving the look of skin texture and tone—and providing a refreshing scent. In addition, three powerhouse AHAs help skin appear brighter. So lather up and get glowing with this skincare-first essential.

Save 19% on the set of two Here.

Tarte Beauty 30% off Sale

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

The Tarte Beauty Sale we all look forward to started yesterday, and this is a great time to pick up your favorite items at 30% off, stock up, and maybe grab something you have wanted to try. Like a new pallet, a blush set, or the great new dual brush. I am sharing my top 9 products I love and use daily from Tarte, and I hope you’ll give one or two a try. 

  1. Tarte Shape Tape= Ultra creamy Concealer, The iconic shape tape concealer, now with a built-in EYE CREAM for 24-hr moisturizing! This is perfect for midlifers and is not drying or sinks into fine lines or wrinkles. the Orginal Shape tape can be too dry for mature skin
  2. Lip Therapy Mask= Get pillow-soft lips all day long with this creamy daytime lip treatment with a hint of tint for a smooth, supple & hydrated lip. Utah is so dry and can crack lips without using a regular lip mask. I love how this mask keeps my lips hydrated and smooth. 

 

  1. Amazon Clay Matte Pallet=Master your matte with this cool-toned palette! Matte palettes are great for aging skin, as glitter shows off fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, a matte eyeshadow helps to enhance your eyes. I love the shades of browns and earth tones in this palette. This is my daily go-to eyeshadow palette. 

 

  1. Amazon Clay Pallet=WINNER Best Palette, Allure Readers’ Choice Award 2021. This Pallet has the same tones above but with shimmer and matte shades. This pallet’s colors help eyes look bigger and are great tones for all eye colors. 

 

  1. Glow Pill super serum=Daily dose of skin-hydrating vitamins in a lightweight serum that delivers hydration & improvement in fine lines & wrinkles for up to 24 hours. This has to be one of my favorite serums for getting your skin to glow and look refreshed. I use it at night before my nighttime moisturizer. 

 

  1. Double-ended Complexion Brush= Double-sided brush for an instant cheek lift! Angled side lift and contours cheeks, Now how does middle-age need that? I noticed a big difference when using this brush on how it helped my blush and highlighter blend better and lifted my face. 

 

  1. Brezzy Cream bronzer= want that just got back from the beach glow? This is your product, a buildable cream bronzer you’ll love. I love a cream bronzer and blush as I have gotten older. It doesn’t crease or settle into fine lines. 

 

  1. Maneater Mascara= I wear lash extensions, but I still love a great mascara on my lower lashes, and this one, WINNER Best Mascara (Drama), Allure Best of Beauty Award 2020 (in black). I love how long and full it makes, even my lower lashes. 

 

  1. Pro- Glow Highlighter= A highlight and contour palette with six pigmented powder & cream shades to create perfectly glowing, chiseled looks. I love the mix of powder and cream. The shades are beautiful. I use the creams more for my skin, but now and then, I love the sparkle in the powder. It also works great as eyeshadows.

Hello Pretty Ladies,  Sharing a couple of ways on “How to Pamper yourself on Vacation” Take time out to head to a spa you heard about and treat yourself to a massage or Facial, take luxury Skincare with you to treat yourself kindly while away. Remember to take time to breathe, relax, drink water, and be in the moment. Vacations are a time to rejuvenate.

What We Wore On Girls Trip?

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Are you ready for some fun Spring fashion? The second blog post on our New Orleans trip is about what we wore. The Brands we worked with, and some fun Fresh Spring Styles. We were lucky to work with some great Small business brands launching their brand New Spring arrivals and bring them to you first. We also worked with some well-known larger brands to bring you a variety. All the Chic Chat Chic Girls’ styles should be in stock and ready to ship. Perfect for you to take on your next trip, or add some Spring to your wardrobe! 

 

Social Threads

A fun small business that carries great quality clothing and accessories at affordable prices. All of us girls are wearing the BEST selling Risen jeans in the same style, a vegan messenger bag in various colors, and a fun printed bag strap. (Look how cute the straps are! They make the bag!) Of course, we each got to pick a top of our choice as well. 

Our Risen Jeans are soft, easy to wear, run big, and size down. The fun frayed hem gives edgy detail, great to pack on a trip, with so many ways to style. You’ll want this bag for your next vacation, as it holds everything hands-free and stays close to your body. 

Social Threads gets new merchandise weekly, has several restocks on their best sellers a month, and has great fast shipping.  Everything I get from Social Threads I wear on repeat. You’ll love supporting small by shopping with them.

New Year New You? 3 Things I am adding to my Routine

New Year New You? 3 Things I am adding to my Routine in the New Year.

New Year New You? 3 Things I am adding to my Routine

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, And Happy New Year! So I just wanted to share a couple of things I am working on for my health and diet for January.

Last week, I shared on the blog about adding habits/goals how I like to build on small intentions or goals once a month instead of making an extensive list and trying to accomplish it all at once. Trying to stay consistent for the whole year can be difficult and cause failure. (more on that HERE)  Last week, we also had a fun Live Chit Chat Chic on Several New Years Topics, intentions, fitness, and health plans for 2022.

I thought it would be good to share a couple of the things I started on January 3rd and take you on my journey here and in stories on Instagram. The Big thing I am adding is Active & Fit, deciding I would set the intention for a better fitness routine. It’s been hard to fit into my hectic schedule, and NOW with Active&Fit Now, I can fit in a workout that will work within my schedule. Use the app for activities at home or head to one of the on-list gyms.

New Year New You? Things I am adding to my Routine

 

I love the flexibility of fitness centers or at-home workouts on demand. 
 Active&Fit Now provides access to 7,500+ fitness centers and 5,500+ on-demand video workouts for one monthly price. It’s easy to sign up online, and you can change fitness centers at any time. 
Because there are no long-term contracts, you can also cancel at any time!
 
Use promo code SAVE22, and Active&Fit Now
 will waive the $29 enrollment fee. Offer valid from 1/1/22 through 3/31/22.  
 
Want to be a part of my 6-month
 journey? Sign up today at www.activeandfitnow.com and
 follow @getactiveandfit.

       #2 is I am doing 30 days of Whole30. I like to do this a couple of times in the year. Because it helps me to shed a few pounds, Mainly because it helps me clean up my diet, reset my body, and gives me more energy and the taste for healthy food. Whole30 is a great way to get rid of your cravings. Whether it’s sugar, carbs, or alcohol, Whole30 resets your taste buds, if you will. 
 
Here are some great Whole30 approved foods I use below:
 
 
         #3 is to add in more fiber. My girlfriend Jane @southernshine2017 lost 40 pounds over a couple of months by adding 30 grams of fiber into her diet. Because of this, I thought I would give it a try. Next week, I will blog on what I am eating to get fiber in my diet. 
 
*Because Several of you are trying to add more water into your diet for 2022. So I wanted to share the bottle I have been using for over two years with you. This bottle helped me reach my water Habit goal and hopefully will help you too.

—Vlog— Surgery Day How I prepared the morning of —Vlog—
Surgery Day

How I prepared the morning of surgery to remove my 
Melanoma Cancer on my face…

A few things that helped me for the 4-6 hour surgery day.

-Started day with Warm lemon water 
-Prayers, Devotion and journaling. (This helps start your day off right and with strength and peace)🙏🏻
- My Doctor suggested having high protein (I made A high protein Smootie with High antioxidants & Vic C for healing

- Washed hair & styled as I wasn’t sure when I would get to take a shower & wash hair,due to Stitches & bandages on face.

- Essentials, ear buds to listen to a podcast or audio book, my lap top in case I wanted to watch a movie, ice water, a protein bar, lip gloss, a charger and a hair tie❤️

- Comfortable Clothing 

If you want more details on my Melanoma Journey 💪🏻I have two LIVES🎥 in feed SHARING the details the day before, on what to look for, what the difference is between skin cancer and melanoma, what mine looked like and  What procedure the surgeon is doing , as what we did prior to prep, and answering questions-labeled Part one in feed and I am wearing a denim top.
&
-The day after surgery- sharing how it went, results, how I felt, a peek at how far the stitches went, what care is, and next steps as well as answering a ton of questions I received in DMs.  That one you’ll see the bandage on my face😉

I am being very real and authentic with you in sharing this journey, to help spread awareness on the importance of having your skin checked by a dermatologist.🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

While also showing how smoothing so small can take a lot of work to be removed, while also showing…. It will be ok, and you may feel scared and think you’ll never look the same, but you can be brave, trust the process and we’ll heal and look normal again:) It just takes time😉❤️💋💪🏻🙏🏻

Update: Today is 7 days after surgery and I had my stitches taken out yesterday! 
Now the real healing begins. 
I finally had a decent nights sleep, my face is swollen, I don’t look like Frankenstein anymore😉 and although the scar goes from my under eyelashes to my jaw, it looks better then I thought it would. It’s pretty flat and the Dr, who stitched me up did an amazing job. ❤️#melanoma

5 Days of Family Fun … Wrapped up in 20 Photos✔️ 5 Days of Family Fun …
Wrapped up in 20 Photos✔️

I can’t tell you how fun the last 5 days have been full of family, adventures, building memories and reminiscing of past. 

Although we do try to get together often, this was one of those rare times, we actually had more time, more intention and something Nana, really needed more then ever❤️ 

No rushing, no drama just togetherness and enjoying each other …

Along with some fun Utah activities and places. It truly was a great time together ❤️

I’ve been sharing a lot in stories 🎥

Planing a trip to Utah?
Here’s a few places and things we did, that everyone enjoyed.

@thegrandamerica (the cocktail lounge is where we surprised nana) beautiful hotel, great cocktails & live piano & harp music- gorgeous lights and the Laurel restaurant is so good.

@proskijor  Horse & Ski Event in Heber (2 day event) 2 dates and locations on calendar for Utah 

Midway -a cute little Swiss town next to Heber, with great restaurants and little shops. @ballerinafarmstore  is located here and a must stop.

Park City & Deer Valley- Great Ski town full of everything you’d expect and more. @jcrew had a Olympic Clothing collab pop-up (I had to check out) 

With a large group & perfect for Car  enthusiasts Billy Blanko Mexican restaurant can accommodate you and it’s a very fun vibe part of @billwhiterestaurants 

@themercantile_on25th  is a great brunch & The girls loved the iced lattes 

@snowbasinresort is our local ski resort (my families fav) Stunning lodges with good food to hang out in , if your not a skier and amazing terrain if you are🎿🚠

I’ll be sharing more details and a few more fun things later this week……Wait tell you see what the highlight of everyone’s Trip was….I bet you can’t guess💙💙

It’s something EVERYONE loves and can’t get enough of 💙

#familyfirst❤️ #familyvacay #utahtrip #wintervacation
Never underestimate the power of joy & the healing Never underestimate the power of joy & the healing family can bring❤️🙏🏻

When 6 Grandchildren & their spouses along with parents traced from 3 states to surprise their Nana….

Not only did they get the reaction they hoped for…. They gave her what she needed❤️❤️

It’s been one year since we lost Papa and this surprise lifter her sprints more than they could have hoped for. 

5 days of family bonding, sightseeing in Utah with love and a lot of laughter! 

I highly recommend a family surprise visit to help lift a family members spirit.

There wasn’t a dry eye 🥹in the lounge at the @thegrandamerica 
One of the waiters came up and said “I knew something special was going to happen… Was the sweetest thing to watch🥹❤️”
He even thank all of us❤️❤️❤️

(I think he wanted to hug Nana too😉😂)

The joy of family, family heals, lifting your spirits

A flash back to 2016 …. The changes and the simil A flash back to 2016 ….

The changes and the similarities from 10 Years ago!

Sharing 20 photos… looking back at Instagram trends, fashion, what photos caught people’s attention, what I shared back then and some pinch me moments! 

Still having pinch me moments as a midlifer, in a career that didn’t even exist until 2010 and really didn’t start picking up steam until 2015/16

Isn’t that crazy… and think of all the new careers still to come….
