I sure know they’re a few of my favorite things. So Printfresh Pj’s and My Strawberry Shortcake Recipe is what I am sharing for today’s “In. the Kitchen with D’Arcy.”

Printfresh Pj's and My Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

 

Printfresh Pj's and My Strawberry Shortcake Recipe

Strawberry Shortcake Recipe:

You’ll love this easy Strawberry Shortcake recipe, and so will your family. It’s so easy and oh so good. 

You’ll need:

-2 packs of strawberries (cut up into small slices)

-1 small basket of strawberries washed and the tops removed (for garnish). I like a sprig of mint too.

-1 cup of sugar

-pound cake, angel food cake, or fruit snack cake cups (we like the cake cups or Pound cakes.)

In a large bowl, add cut-up strawberries and sugar, let sit to get juicy, then with a masher, smash up strawberries into a mixture of chunky strawberries & juice. 

Homemade whipping cream:

-Heavy whipping cream (Cold) (depends on how many I am serving to what size pint, quart) 

-Powdered sugar 

Whip heavy cream with a mixer until stiff peaks, and slowly add powdered sugar until the sweetness you like. ( we like a little sweet, not too sweet) 

Assemble Strawberry Shortcake:

Take a cake, layer the strawberry juice and a dollop of Whip cream and then layer a cake and repeat strawberries and top with whip cream and garnish with a couple of large berries and mint. Enjoy.

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

Hello Pretty Ladies, I have shared with you that we are getting ready to list our home and researching ways to make the processes easier and faster. Here are “7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready” Put on your seatbelts – we are going on a crazy ride! Selling your home right now is a great idea financially, but it can also be very overwhelming to do. You might be wondering, “where do I even start?” I’m here to help! Here are a few ways to get your home sell-ready:

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

Fix any issues

First up: fix any issues before you consider listing them. You could tackle this two ways: only fix the issues that are very apparent (like holes in the walls) so that prospective buyers are more attracted to the home and make a better offer. Or fix as many issues (seen and unseen) that you know of to have a better inspection report come back. I prefer only to tackle sight seen issues because once you get the inspection report back, they will make repair requests…and even if you fix a lot beforehand, you WILL have things that pop up on your inspection, so you might as well fix only what you have to unless there is an actual serious issue that could deter buyers.

 

Meet with your agent and figure out a price

Once you prepare your home, your next step is to meet up with your agent (if you are using one!) to figure out a price. Right now, prices are wild, and it can be tough to know what price you should list your home at, so I recommend trusting a real estate agent that knows what they are doing. Of course, you want the most bang for your buck, and pricing it yourself could land you a bad deal. However, at the end of the day, any deal that YOU think works for you is a good deal.

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

Get everything deep cleaned.

Right before your listing goes on the market, you will want to declutter, de-personalize, and get your home deep cleaned so that it shines and looks its best! Of course, if you don’t have the time for this or want it in tip-top shape, you could always hire this out. Professional cleaners have the potential to do WONDERS when it comes to making your home look (and smell) great! This is definitely a must before letting people into your home when they are making a potentially life-changing offer.

 

Post your home on Facebook

When everything is live, go ahead and post your listing on Facebook. You could even post before your home goes live to gain traction and potentially get an off-market deal. However, doing this runs the risk of you getting less money overall because when it is on the market right now, you will (without fail!) have a bidding war, which will up the total price you get for the sale of your home. Nevertheless, posting on Facebook is always a great thing to quickly get people in the door!

 

Negotiate once you have a potential buyer

Once you have found a buyer, it’s time for negotiations! Everything can be negotiated, so don’t leave anything on the table. At the end of the day, it’s a seller’s market, and you have the option to get back-up offers, just in case something falls through. During negotiations, be kind, but make sure you are not bending to make an unreasonable request. This is the hardest part. You’ve got this!

 

Find a new home

Once you get through the hardest part, it’s not time for the fun! Finding a home of your own! Make your list of what you need and what you want, then set up an official home search. To make a competitive offer in this market, talk with your agent. With a lot of homes, they are moving quickly, and they are only willing to accept the best offer with a clean contract. Keep that in mind when house hunting, but make sure you don’t settle for something less than great!

 

Move!

Last but not least, the final step in this entire process is moving! This can be overwhelming and stressful, and nobody LOVES to do it themselves. To take care of that, hire it out instead. There are great companies out there that can help you with the moving process – like Movin’. They are residential movers and office movers in Salt Lake City, and they go above and beyond to ensure that all of their clients are 100% satisfied. After all, word-of-mouth reviews are their best reference! They say, “Moving is never fun. From the packing to the heavy lifting, it’s a big project that’s tough to handle on your own. So when you need to enlist the help of local movers headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT, Provo-Orem, UT Metropolitan Statistical Area, and surrounding areas, you’ll want to find an experienced and well-equipped company to handle your move. When searching for moving companies near you, look no further than Movin’.”

 

Here are a few things, I have found that help your home smell good, I use them for cleaning and Items I organized to have cupboards and closets looking clean and tidy!

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

Hello Pretty ladies, Spring is here, which means Summer is around the corner! This means spending more time outdoors, and Beach & Lake Vacations are fast approaching. I love nothing more than spending time on the water. Whether poolside or beachside. How about you? Do you have a warm-weather vacation coming up? I have 4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life you will love, not only because they’re so cute but because they pack well too.

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

Cabana Life resort wear is perfect for the whole family. Clothing that protects you, Spf 50, and UV ray protection. Who doesn’t want a little more protection from the sun? 

I love that Cabana Life clothing can take you from the beach to lunch. It’s fashionable and practical.  Every piece travels well, along with not taking up a lot of space. Personally, I love that every collection has a matching swimsuit. I am making packing even more effortless.

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

I took several pieces to Palm Beach, Florida, and it helped me pack and organize my outfits. It can also mix and match some of the collections, like in this outfit above: From the Jetties & Nantucket Collection. The colors work together. Even though the patterns are different, it makes for a fun combination. Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns. As long as the colors are the same, it works out great.

The terry cloth tunics have long been one of my favorite pieces from Cabana Life. I love how you can wear it as a  bathing suit cover-up and a dress…. But it’s even cute, worn as a tunic paired with linen pants. A very versatile piece that takes you from the pool to the street.

Fashion tip: It’s always a good rule of thumb to think of 3 ways you can wear a piece of clothing before purchasing it!

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah Tv Segment 

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Hello pretty ladies,

Today, I am so excited to share. I will be on Good Things Utah sharing: A Fashion Segment on “Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women.” You can watch the segment HERE or Live at 10:00 am Mnt. On local channel 4/KTVX.

 Below: I am sharing a complete list of all the items I am sharing from White House Black Market, along with MY TIPS: on Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife. I hope you enjoy it! Ox ( I will enter photos from today, after the show)

 

Sharing a few Spring Fashion Fixes for dressing Chic at any age.. is something I try to share with you, as it is my main goal to help Midlife women look and feel good at any age. We are not the Golden girls anymore!

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

-Aging doesn’t mean you have to lose your sense of style. If anything, we have finally figured out who we are and what our style is.

-Age shouldn’t dictate what we wear. However, it may dictate what you are comfortable in. And, like many women, your style probably has developed more over time. Finding what you really love and what works for your body is most important.

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

 

                                     4 of my most significant fashion FIXES:

#1-Always wear what you love. When you wear what you love, you feel good.

#2-Wear what works on your body and makes you feel great, no matter the trend! Clothes that don’t work on your body type DON’T Flatter you. 

#3-Accentuate, your body’s good features, tiny waist, great legs, flat tummy or pretty shoulders, whatever that may be… show it. Don’t let aging defy you.

#4- It’s ok to wear seasonal trends. Mix them in with your classic pieces. So often, when ladies approach midlife, they think they can’t wear fashion trends! So, False! Adding in subtle trending details updates your wardrobe and gives it a “FRESH look,” and a lot of the time, the most affordable way to update a wardrobe. 

                    Here are a few Spring Fashion Fixes that are trending:

                                       White| Flares| High Waisted| Belts| Blazers| Braided Sandals|

                                         Layered Jewlery|Pattern Pop| Stud details| 

All great ways to “FIX” your midlife Fashion. And below are ways to incorporate them.

 

Color WHITE|

-White is always chic and timeless for Spring and Summer… (One of the perks of midlife, no little hands to get you dirty 😂), and Neutrals are trending in a BIG way this Spring! We love this Bag and This top.

Jeans|

Add a pair of white jeans, skinny or High waisted Flares Shown below are from White House Black Market. 

All jean styles are “in style” right now, from straight legs, cropped flares, and mid-rise to high rise. There’s no wrong style right now. Most importantly, wear what you feel good in!

Below are two Jean styles trending:

 

 

White Skinny Jeans|

The skinny jean is flattering on every figure, great worn dressed down or up. Perfect with flowy Summer tops and this season’s ruffled detailed tops. 

Two STYLE FIXES BELOW: 

Style Fix #1.

The balance of a flowy top and a tight bottom has a slimming effect (significant for those with a tummy). 

Style Fix #2.

Another great way to style skinny jeans is with a Blazer or Moto jacket over a button-up blouse or graphic tee. Dress up for work or down for play.

 

 

White High rise Flares|

High-rise jeans can have a love-hate relationship, depending on your figure and how you wear them. Some love them, and some hate them. On the other hand, they can be great for hiding a muffin top and bad on your backside.

 So, styling them correctly is key. If you’re like me and don’t have a backside and carry your weight in the middle, they are great styled with a blazer. They hold the tummy in, hide a muffin top, and the blazer covers the backside. Also, they can make you look taller if you’re on the shorter side. To name a few body types. Otherwise, I could go on and on.

Three Style Fix below:

-Style Fix #1.

wearing a flare is on-trend and can really elongate your legs.

Style Fix #2.

  • High-waisted is also on-trend and can be great with a bodysuit and blazer.

Style Fix #3.

  • Wearing high-waisted with some of the Cropped trending sweaters and tops is also helpful to be on-trend without showing skin.

Here are a Few white jeans I love from White House Black Market Below:

 

Belt|

Belts come and go in Fashion. We have been seeing belts trending for a while now, especially with the designer logos. This Spring, we see all belts, with the WIDE belts being hot hot hot! 

Three Style Fix below:

Style Fix #1.-Belts show off a waist: Accentuates a small waist or gives an illusion of a waist. 

Style Fix #2.– Belts add shape to a shirt dress or Maxi tee dress.

Style Fix #3.– Belts can add detail to simpler outfits.

Here are some Favorites from the White House Black Market Below:

 

 

Blazers|

Adding some spring trends with your classic pieces helps keep your wardrobe from looking dated. A dated wardrobe ages you, and nobody wants to look older😂

Below are 3 styling Fixes for wearing Blazers

Styling FIX #1. A Tee-shirt dress with a Blazer shown here is classic yet “ON Trend” with the Spring Blazer craze that’s going on.

Styling FIX #2. Another great way to wear a blazer is with a graphic tee and shorts.

Styling FIX #3. Wearing a blazer is as simple as dressing up in a tee and jeans.

Some of our favorite flattering Blazers below from White House Black Market:

 

 

Accessories| Braided| Layered Jewlery| Pattern pop| Studded detail

Accessories are a great way to add in a Subtle trend without being too trendy. Accessories FIX a dated wardrobe.

HERE are a few of this season’s accessory trends below.

 

Braided Sandal Trend|

Shown below, the braided sandal is hot this season. WHBM has a couple of cute ones to add in Here & Here

 

 

Layered Jewelry|

Layered jewelry has been on trend for a couple of seasons. Wearing several of your favorite necklaces at once adds detail. Creating this look is simple with this necklace by White House Black Market, as all the layering is done for you in one simple piece. Great to dress up a simple tank top or tee.

Crystals are trending from Fashion to home decor. They have great energy and give any outfit a great “statement.”

Below are a couple of pieces I love:

 

 

 

Pattern Pop|

Pop of leopard is always a fun addition to any outfit. Leopard truly never goes out of style. Now, wearing too much of it at once can be overdone. Just a pop will do!

Fashion Fix: Add a pop of leopard to your outfit with a great leopard bag to make a statement. Or even a pair of Leopard shoes can create an interest in a simple outfit.

Some great Leopard pieces from WHBM:

 

 

Studded detail|

 Studded detail is also “Trending” it is a fun little detail to add to an outfit without being too youthful yet adding an “on-trend” update to your look. This detail once associated with punk rock is no longer! Instead, it’s a detail Valentino has been sporting for a while and is one you need to add to your wardrobe.

Style Fix: The stud element adds texture to an outfit. You can add the stud detail with a bag or shoes shown below. It’s also being used as a detail on clothing. A Fun element that takes your outfit up a notch.

I love this Bag and these sandals by WHBM:

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Need help with Shopping for the Sephora SALE? I am here to help!  I had so much fun shopping for the sale this year. However, there were some items I wanted to try and didn’t really want to pay the full price for. So making it the perfect time to pick them up Now. 12 Beauty Items to Shop the Spring Sephora Sale!

Charlotte Tilbury “Pillow talk line has been a big talk of the town!” I love her products, as I use her eyebrow line, and I love her lip liner. I really wanted to try the  Filmstar Bronze & Glow, the Pillow talk eye palette and eye pencil, and her Super nudes lipstick in Cover Star. Along with stocking up on some of my regulars, her Brow lift pencil, Gel, and Lipliner.

I also heard rave reviews on the Isle of Paradise self-tanning drops and mist. My sister has raved about all the Tatcha products, and I thought I pick one up. But, no, better time to try out new products and stock up on favorites.

9 Best Sellers For March 2022

9 Best Sellers For March 2022

9 Best Sellers For March 2022

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. 

Do you follow me over on Like to Know it? Follow HERE. It is a great shopping app (you don’t have to have the app to shop). It just makes it so convenient. Also, it’s a great way to shop! You get tips, sizing details, and great advice from your favorite bloggers. 

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.

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!
