  On Friday, I shared this show-stopping Top from Avara, and it’s just too good not to share a blog post about it.

Show-stopping Top by Avara

Leopard top with embroidered puff sleeves by Avara. A Fall must-have show-stopping Top.

How to style this top

This top is a top you can dress up or down. Here I am wearing the top with Black distressed jeans, black slides with brass bows, and gold jewelry.

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I worked with Station Park in Farmington, Ut, a couple of weeks ago. .on the Opening of one of their sister properties Mountain View Village in Riverton, Utah. What made this even more exciting is Dawn with Party til Dawn, a long-time social media friend who works with one of their sister properties Totem Lake in Washington. She was flying in so we could work together on covering the Grand Opening of Mountain View and a little bit of Station Park. 

Talk about the perfect opportunity to Mix Business with Friendship…Dawn and I met on Instagram and became fast friends. We have a lot in common; our styles are very similar, we’re both midlifers, love our families, think a lot alike, and work for some of the same brands. We also both have working relationships with the Center Cal group. Not to mention texting each other daily. But, meeting each other in person was just so exciting. We felt like we’d known each other forever.

We had the opportunity to stay at the Hyatt Place, conveniently located on Station Parks property. Stay on the property makes for easy shopping & dining.

Hello pretty Ladies,

Can you believe how fast Summer is flying by? We’re heading into the 3rd week of July and I can’t believe it. Utah’s Summer weather didn’t kick in until a couple of weeks ago and then it came in blazing! I don’t know about you but I want Summer to slow down a little bite. I need more pool & lake days. 

If you have been following me, then you know I am a Cabana Life clothing Partner for 2022 and Have enjoyed sharing the brand and featuring the New launches and styles. When I caught sight of this Eyelet collection I was smitten.

Cabana Life’s New Summer Eyelet Collection

Cabana Life is known for spf50 swimwear and resort wear. Designed by a Skin cancer survivor. This new Eyelet collection is a little different for Cabana Life as it’s still Spf50 protection but it’s more of daily summer wear versus resort or swimwear. 

Eyelet has always been one of my favorite summer fabrics and when I saw this pink tie-shoulder dress, I knew I needed it in my summer dress collection and you do too.

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Update your Summer Wardrobe

1. Oversized button up-

white or stripe for the coastal vibe or bright and colorful. Great to style with shorts, over a tee shirt dress, or worn with linen pants. Every wardrobe needs a good button-up.

 

 

10 Outfits Inspired By Coastal Grandmother

2. Linen Pants –

(Old Navy & Target have great $20-25 ones) Linen is a Classic Summer staple. With so many ways to style with ease, perfect pants forTravel as well!

 

 

3. Straw/Raffia-

A great way to add texture to your outfit. Whether a hat or a bag, this gives your look that Summer vibe! This is also a great way to add in a style that might be trending. You can find either one at all price points, and I am sharing a couple from Amazon, Walmart, and Nordstrom. 

Hats

 

 

Bags

 

 

 

4. Nude Sandals-

A great nude sandal is always a classic wardrobe builder but is also fun to add to a trending style. Sides, braided, and transparent looks are trending, which gives a great update to your wardrobe.

 

 

 

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

5. 2 Piece Sets-

TRENDING A two-piece set is having a big moment right now, and I love it! Great for Traveling, so easy to style, and a great way to mix and match. 

You can find sets in Shorts, pants, and skirt sets. Today I am featuring this great chambray pant set! Perfect pieces to mix and match.

 

 

6. Colorful Printed Dress-

Have you noticed every summer that there’s a certain print you see a ton of for that season! It’s a great tip to pick up a dress in that Seasons “It pattern.” 

Instant wardrobe update, easy and fun to wear, and you can grab an affordable dress at H&M, Target, and Walmart, an excellent Style tip for shopping seasonal trendy pieces.

 

 

7. Bangles-

I love Arm candy or a great bracelet stack. Whether you love color, beads, or gold, adding an excellent bracelet stack adds texture and looks pretty on your wrist with the shorter summer season tops, Tanks, and dresses. This Amazon set is a deal… set of 4

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.

Happy Monday pretty Lady, and may you
Have a week full of sunshine and gods blessings.

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!
