12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy June! I hope your Memorial weekend was just what you needed it to be. We had a great family weekend, good food, and got some things done around the house. I love that it’s the unofficial kick-off to Summer, and I am ready for it. How about you?

I leave with my good friends tomorrow on a business/Girls’ trip. In celebration of that, this week, I have had a Vacation series, sharing packing tips, vacation outfit ideas, swimsuits & cover-ups, and things you need on a trip. Sharing over on Instagram, in stories, On Like to know it, and on the blog.  Today on the blog, I am sharing 12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

12 Items to help you pack with ease and stay organized. These are all items I own and use every time I travel. If you know me or follow me, you know I love to travel/adventure.

I try to go somewhere once a month, even if it’s just a staycation. So I have tried out several organizations’ items and found these are the Best ones for me, and I think you’ll love them too.

12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

 

12 Travel Essentials 

1.  Cloth Jewelry zip organizer has clear pockets inside, plenty of hooks, and different sizes to hold your jewelry. I love that you can see everything; it is pretty flat, like a book.

2. Cord organizer I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand all my chargers and cords in a mess. This keeps them tidy.

3. Packing cubes and shoe bags are a must to stay organized and help you pack more without the mess. 💯 a must-have!

4.  Travel bottles with case TSA approved and great to take your favorite toiletries (Comes in several color options)

5. Belt bag by Lululemon is a must-have for hands-free and easy access to your items. Great for Airport, walking, and heading out sightseeing 

6.  Travel flat spray hand sanitizer Smells excellent and is so easy to carry

7.  Stanley 40oz Tumbler with handle easily fits all cup holders and keeps drinks hot or cold for hours. 

8. Compact Mirror with light and magnifying mirror. $8.99-12.99 It is flat and packs well. Identical to the mirror that advertises for $40 

9. 3 in 1 charger folds up compact and is great if you have many items that need to be charged.

10. Kusshi Makeup organizer The only makeup bag you’ll ever need!! It unzips all the way yet has a flat bottom to remain standing. You can see everything verse digging.  Washable and come in several sizes and colors. I love the customization organizer snap-in pouches! For brunches, pockets, etc.

11. Silicone makeup brush holder! Affordable and easy to use

12. Pill case organizers for pills and supplements. Compartments to keep tablets separated snap closer. I know you will love all of these items.

(I have all these and shared them on a reel in my feed and story highlights.

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round- Up #7

Hello Pretty ladies, 

We are all most to the end of May, Schools out in Utah, and were headed into Memorial Weekend end, the kick-off to Summer. I look forward to Bbq season, longer days, spending time in the yard, and pool and lake days! How about you? 

Memorial Weekend means more than significant sales. However, that’s a fun way to spend part of your weekend. Remembering all those who have and are serving this beautiful country is essential. Our freedoms aren’t free, and those who have given so much and families that have made sacrifices must be remembered and thanked. So fly those flags high and remember why we celebrate and have a three-day weekend. 

Thank you to all those who serve and have served this country. God bless you and your families.

Last Friday’s round-up, I told you about some Gucci sandals I had been wanting and waiting for my size for over a year. They finally arrived, and I was so excited. (photo above) I shared them on Instagram. Even though this was a splurge, I permitted myself, and sometimes we must treat ourselves.

Jewelry 

I am a sucker for accessories and jewelry for use on the outfit. So here are some pieces I purchased this SSpringI am already wearing on repeat.

Evereve large turquoise and gold statement ring and this delicate turquoise and gold bracelet. I love that it mixes and matches all my gold jewelry, yet it also works with several turquoise pieces I own. This bracelet is pretty on its own, but I love a good arm stack, and it looks great with the bracelets I own from Miranda Frye.

For the Home

I can’t get enough of this $30 candle. The scent fragrances the main level of our home, and the 40 oz container is beautiful.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

 

Hello Pretty ladies, 

I hope your week has been going well. Life seems to go by faster and faster as we age, wouldn’t you agree? We’re already halfway thru April! How does that happen? Today, I share 3 ways to style the Spanx Air essential Dress. 

This easy-to-wear buttery soft dress with pockets is easy to wear and style. With a mock neckline and a tank sleeve style, you’ll wear it all Spring and Summer. You can quickly wear this dress in many different ways, but today I am showing you three ways to style it for work wear, sporty chic, and for travel.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Work Wear 

Spanx dress styled with the Spanx blazer.

The Spanx air essentials crew neck sweatshirt is over the shoulders for a fun detail. I chose the cognac color crew neck sweatshirt because it matched my Cecelia New York sandals and tied in with this vegan leather tote. 

Finish off the look with Gold Accessories. This is a great professional look for work, a Zoom meeting, or a Business lunch. 

This look is also comfortable to wear all day, yet removing the crew neck for a chic dress and blazer look could take you straight to a dinner date.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Shop the Look Below:

 

Sporty Chic

Spanx dress paired with a denim jacket immediately takes it to a more casual look. But take it to sporty chic by adding a fun Ball cap, big silver hoop earrings, White leather sneakers with a bit of silver detail, and a dressed-up belt bag with silver chain detail.

This Sports chic look is great for traveling, sightseeing, sporting events, or grabbing coffee with friends.  

Again easy to wear, Easy to pack, and looks oh so put together. 

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Shop the look below:

 

 

 Travel Vacation mode

I made the Spanx dress look like a skirt, paired with the Spanx Air essential crew neck sweatshirt, a cute Gigi pip Straw sun hat, an Amazon Find Straw bag, and fun Dolce Vita sandals. The espadrille platform is a fun look. 

On a warmer day, you could easily swap out the crew neck sweatshirt for a button-up or oversized graphic tee. Or wear it with no layers. 

I think a denim shirt tied around the waist would be cute. 

A great alternative to wearing an extra layer is using it as an accessory on a warm day. This gives the layer a look without adding an entire layer. 

Fashion Tip:

Adding texture to an outfit with accessories helps create a well-put-together look without much effort.

Think of different fabric mixes, adding texture to a shoe or a bag. Finally, jewelry finishes off the look. 

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

 

Shop to look below:

 

 

How Hairstyles help create a look

Another thing to consider is how you style your hair for each look. Choose a hairstyle that will compliment the outfit.

Higher necklines look great with hair pulled back to show off the neckline. A top knot is a cute look with a work/office look. Glasses on the head as a fashion statement pull hair away from the face to show the neckline. Looks business-like as well.

 

Spanx discount Code

I have a discount code for any Spanx purchase. If you are interested, use the:

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope your weekend was what you needed it to be. Ours was laid back, and I did get a lot of work done, which felt great. Today’s blog post is in conjunction with the Fashion Fix Tv segment I created for Good Things Utah today. Live at 10:00 am Mnt. Time. Stream it from anywhere by clicking HERE. 

 Watch the Tv segment=  link to Watch 

I headed to my go-to shopping center, Station Park in Farmington, knowing  I could find what I wanted to create the looks for this segment. Evereve, H&M, Old Navy, and Bohmn are where I headed this time.

Station Park has all your shopping needs, with a beautiful outdoor setting and something for everyone. Let’s not forget several restaurants so you can make a great outing. 

Perfect for Easter

Whether you’re headed to Easter services, Brunch, the kid’s egg hunt, or dinner with family and friends, I’ve created some on-trend looks I think you’ll love and look great in at any age & stage in your life. You can wear these pieces all Spring and Summer to look and feel great. Watch the fun REEL I created

“Florals for spring are nothing new, here are a few Spring trends that are fresh and doesn’t evolve a large floral print.”

Trending Styles for Spring:

-The suit

-The trouser trend

-Eyelet 

-Wide-leg crop or wide leg

-Denim skirt med length and long

-Twist on a shirt dress

-The ribbed tank dress

-The Blazer

– Pj style pantsuit

Color trends:

Hot pink & Orange

Lilac

Sage green

Kelly green

Neutrals 

Cornflower Blue

Navy blue

Details:

Bows, small or large

Laser cutouts

Cutouts 

Studs

Braided 

Quilted

Tiny ruffle detail -think trim 

Pearls

-Added a slight floral touch for a fresh look without screaming “Floral for Spring.”

My Model’s looks:

Cammi-Cornflower Blue Eleni Maxi coverage dress with pretty little bow details. It is paired with a pop of floral on the Cecelia New York shoes. And finish off the look with an ivory custom coastal clutch. A perfect look for Easter services, Brunch, and would be darling for A bridal shower.

Swap out pieces for a more casual or youthful look:

This dress could be worn in many ways: pull off the shoulders for a less modest way, or add a bunch of turquoise jewelry and cowboy boots for a boho vibe. So cute for festival and concert season.

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

 

Kjirstin -Modeling the pantsuit trend in this season’s fresh color trend sage. The Blazer & the Pant was paired with a slightly floral detailed top in sage and pink. Finish the look with the Quilted accessories trend in the shoes and bag. The final finishing touch is Pearl accessories.

The pantsuit is a great alternative to a dress. A fresh and chic look for Spring

Swap out pieces for a more casual or youthful look:

Change up the look, A younger person could swap out the top for a cropped top, and swap out the accessories for simpler pieces. Think simple platform sandals and a belt bag.

 

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 

Myself– Wearing the Neutral color trend with the Twist on a Shirtdress, a mocha-colored high-low button-up dress. It was paired with a cute Cream cargo cropped jacket and Studded detail neutral sandals. For a bit of Pop of color, a hot pink bag.

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age. 
Mannequin 4

 Outfits on the Mannequins

 

1st  Mannequin – Med length Denim Skirt, Eyelet top, and pretty bow detail heels. If you don’t love a denim skirt, pair it with Wide leg crops. Works for every age, as shown in the segment.

2nd Mannequin – Hot Pink and Orange – solid Ribbed Tank dress in Orange pairs with a solid Hot pink blazer, Accessorized with A darker orange braid bag for texture and a little pop. Hot Pink tassel earrings and finishing the look with a fun circle detailed, neutral sandal. 

Change up for a more youthful look

  • This look could be worn at any age as well, but to look more youthful, you could add a denim jacket instead of a blazer, swap out sandals for tennis shoes or pass on a jacket and tie a denim shirt around the waist.

3rd Mannequin – A coastal look with a Navy striped ribbed sweater tank dress, Paired with a Navy blazer (Save 10% with code DARCY10) and accessorized with a Neutral Laser cutout bag and sandals. Finished off with a straw hat gives this look the perfect coastal vibe. Cutouts on bags and shoes are a great choice to wear the trend if you don’t feel comfortable wearing clothing with cutouts. 

Change up The Look

   -Here’s another look that could be worn at any age, but simply changing out a blazer for no jacket or a cargo or denim jacket and changing accessories to simple Converse tennis shoes and a belt bag, would create a more youthful look.

4th Mannequin -Pj Pant suit set, Oversized top & Pants. Easy, breezy, and Chic. Kelly Green is a hot color trend, and paired with black gives it a fun edge. Yet, still very Spring-like. Accessories help take this look from looking like pj’s to looking business chic. The black body suit keeps the eye clean and flattering. A lightweight wax-coated black jacket over the shoulders, gold bow detailed slides, and a black quilted bag with gold trim polish off the look. 

Change up the look

Here you could opt to not were the button-up and only wear the bodysuit with the pants, and forgo any jacket. This look would also be just with a denim jacket and a simple sandal or Converse or Ked-type tennis shoe. Swap out a quilted bag for a crossbody bag.

 

I hope I inspired you to try something a little new to you this Spring. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read “Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age.”

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

Hello pretty ladies, 

March is coming to an end; can you believe it? It went by pretty fast, considering it snowed daily here in Utah. Praying April is a new weather trend and that we get Spring. 

  I hope you have been enjoying Friday round-ups, as it’s been fun for me to share everything and brain dump! If you like a more personal connection and a “what you could have missed,” you might like my Newsletter. You can sign up . I send it out every Sunday.  

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

 

|A couple of things I’ve loved lately|

Below is an outfit I’ve been wearing on repeat. Eyeing this Free People Top, Vintage Bebe Pleated Long Sleeve Button-up Selected by Nomad Vintage, the attention to detail and flattering pleats without adding bulk. I recently purchased this Puff Sleeve Chambray top and loved these Pearl pink Jeans. I can’t wait to style them for you.

I’ve wanted this tray for a while and treated myself to Acrylic Bed Tray with Handles – a Clear Laptop Bed/lap Desk.

One of my favorite hat brands is having a warehouse sale Gigi Pip with up to 70% off, and I scored this Hat LIEUTENANT CAP – NAVY WITH GOLD  NOW $ 20.40 Was $ 68.00

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

|For your Entertainment|

I am finishing up the 3rd book, “The Southern side of Paradise,” In the Peachtree bluff series, and loving it. I highly recommend any of Kristy Harvey Woodson’s novels if you haven’t read them. She writes so detailedly, with fun characters you can relate to.

 Binge-Worthy shows

If you want a couple of binge-worthy shows, I just finished Genny & Georgia on Netflix Crazy, what kids are going through and what a mom will do for her kids. If you like a murder mystery and suspense, YOU Is a pretty crazy show with twists and turns. In the 1st & the 4th season, we’re the best. Unfortunately, 2nd and the 3rd felt a little like serial killers!

If you love fashion and haven’t seen Mrs. Harris goes to Paris♥️ It’s a must! About a maid who sets her eyes on A Dior gown and saves and saves on purchasing a custom-made Dior gown at the house of Dior in the 1950s.

Friday Favorite’s weekly round up

Drop it like it’s HOT…. Balancing Menopause and m Drop it like it’s HOT….

Balancing Menopause and midlife can be tricky✔️

From weight gain, mood swings, sleepless nights, dry skin and lady parts, hair loss, eyesight issues, bone loss to personal summers (hot flashes)….. 

Boy hitting 40-50-60’s sounds fun 😅🤣 Actually, it really isn’t that bad, and life is what you make of it, Plus  getting old is a privilege….

In today’s time, we’re lucky because menopause is a Topic WE TALK about NOW, and we have more information and resources to HELP us, unlike our mothers.

Not everyone has every symptom nor do they experience every symptom. 

This is a topic I’ve shared a lot about over on my blog and in future more on my substack (join for free in my bio) 

Below ⬇️ are a few things I’ve found very helpful from my journey over the last 10 years to now, starting at about 44 years old.

-A Homeopathic Hormone replacement specialist- I went at 44 when I gained 12-15 pounds for no reason, had hair loss and wasn’t feeling like myself and went on Bio- identical hormone replacement for about 4 years and the weight feel off and I started to feel like myself again. I stopped I. 2020 due to not being able to get to doctors.. 

-Start a good clean supplement program (not a Doctor) but here’s what helped me.
Magnesium- zinc- Vitamin D3- vitamin K 
-a good women’s multivitamin - 
B-12 shots- Collagen- Colostrum- bone marrow- probiotic, a cranberry supplement and - creatine - NAD- primrose (I have a few others I take as well) full list is on blog 

- Doubled my water intake - (140-160 oz a day) added Fiber- chia seeds- pinch of salt to it … (I do 1/2 teaspoon baking soda twice a week) 

-Daily walks and I added a weighted vest about 4 years ago 

-A cup of warm lemon water to start the day 

- I shoot  for 100 grams of protein daily (I don’t always get this) I just try to get close

-Scalp treatments - Rosemary oil and rosemary supplements 

- Coolnight pjs and cooling sheets  I don’t get or experience hot flashes, but sleeping cooler help me sleep better❤️

- cleansing oil & after Shower oil help with dry skin

-Red light therapy mask helps facial skin and neck

- Derma-planing face helps skin texture and for products to sink in
Melanoma Skin Cancer Journey Here’s a couple thi Melanoma Skin Cancer Journey 

Here’s a couple things I’ve learned on my Journey that I thought I’d share with you I found interesting and very helpful..
 ( now, I am not a doctor) these are things I’ve researched and though I’d share my findings, but you can do your own research :) 

I share in hopes to bring awareness and the importance of getting your skin checked at least once a year.

‼️ 2 things:

-The importance of taking zinc— zinc supplements helps your body give off a natural defense to the suns rays.

⚠️ Like anything I need to stress how important it is to read your labels and start using clean Supplements.  You want to get what you’re paying for and not “fillers” verses the actual minerals and herbs.

- A clean beauty mineral based 
Sunscreen with a high level of Zinc! READ your labels and the ingredientsll

MOST sunscreens have harmful ingredients and hormone disruptors in them! I have 5 brands I love that me and my family use  over on my Liketoknowit or you can comment “shop” and I’ll send them to you.

To know:

⚠️ I get my skin checked twice a year and since being diagnosed with melanoma, I now go every 3 months.

Since my surgeries, I’ve had 2 laser’s treatments to help with scaring (shown in slide 2 is my 2nd surgery) done 6 weeks ago.
I actually should have my 3rd laser done this week, but I moved it to July 1st. 

To be honest I really am not in the head space to deal with another treatment this week! 🙏🏻 I told you I’d be very honest with you in this journey, and it is a roller coaster of emotions… Laser treatments sometimes trigger that for me.

- Laser treatment can be done every 6 weeks

⚠️I have 6 parts of my journey up in my feed, 3 of them pinned to top the others you’ll have to scroll through feed and I have detailed highlights as well. 

I hope you find these helpful

Have any questions you can dm me or leave a comment ⬇️ below.

POV: The Turkey sandwiches I make All summer long POV:
The Turkey sandwiches I make All summer long my family loves🥪

Not your ordinary Turkey, Avocado, tomato sandwiche🥪🥑🍅

First off the Key to these delicious sandwiches is warm crusty bread straight from the oven yet soft on the inside..

My tip is a French baguette ran under water (a tip my Mother in law taught me 33 years ago) placed in the oven for 5-7 minutes- seriously, makes it like you made it fresh… 

-Boards head spicy pepper Turkey freshly sliced from the deli
- Farm Fresh Tomatoes salt & peppered 
-Micro greens (or sprouts) 
- Peppered jack cheese (or your favorite)
-My Smashed Avocado spread 

Full recipe on my blog

A perfect summer meal to serve alfresco🪴🍽️
 
Serve with your favorite sides 
I served with my :
-Basil corn salad 
- a small charcuterie board
- my easy Blue cheese stuffed grape on a walnut appetizer

 A long  with your choice of sun tea - cucumber mint water or  a sparking water 🥤🍃

🚗Road Trip —Desserts and Pools—🌴🌊🌵🏜️🌺 Last leg of 🚗Road Trip
—Desserts and Pools—🌴🌊🌵🏜️🌺

Last leg of trip…2 days in Las Vegas

- A couple days poolside 
- A couple meals out
-Some shopping (just a little) 
- and yes, we had early nights in…

We’ve been to LV so many times, that we actually don’t enjoy it any more, it’s changed so much over the years, that we actually prefer to have pool time (eat at pool) stay close or at our hotel… Walking the strip is more scary then fun, and the restaurants aren’t what they used to be… people watching isn’t even fun anymore there:(

Lately, We just think of LV as a resting point before we drive the 6-7 long hours home. 

Over the years I’ve shared several amazing LV hotels, restaurants and shopping spots…. Some of those are still good, but several have gotten run down and aren’t the same.  I honestly don’t feel safe in LV and probably won’t have that be a resting point anymore. 

If you’re a gambler or like shows … then LV probably still has appeal, People don’t dress up anymore, the top quality restaurants & hotels aren’t what they used to be, and over priced for what you get. (Trust me we’ve stayed at almost all of the resort’s multiple times) 
I personally think there’s better places to visit. 

😉This is my observation and opinion over the last several times & years we’ve been to Lv. 

How do you feel about Las Vegas?
Have you been recently? 

Sorry, not sorry for my honest review!

Day 3 Road Tripping Itinerary 🚗🌵🌴☀️🏜️ Our Last d Day 3 Road Tripping  Itinerary 🚗🌵🌴☀️🏜️

Our Last day and evening in Mesa,Az before heading to Palm Springs, Ca.

We started out with grabbing a coffee & a little walk, then heading to the pool. Our goal this trip was relaxing in the sun ☀️ poolside☀️🌴While enjoying a little late afternoon early evening easy entertaining and good food…

Late afternoon we headed out to the golf course & then later to go on a garden walk and check out a couple local nurseries, before heading to dinner .

We had a yummy Italian dinner at @pizzicatausa over looks  the painted mountain golf course. 

 Then we went on an evening stroll at the golf course found a bench by the pond and had a cocktail to watch the sun set🌅🌵🍷
Perfect way to end the day ✔️
