Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Good morning, Pretty Ladies,

Need a little wardrobe refresh for fall?

If you want to refresh your fall wardrobe, I’ve got some top picks that will keep you looking stylish all season long without breaking the bank! Something about the change of season makes you want to add a few new pieces to your wardrobe. 

Today, I am sharing a few essential items you could add to your Fall wardrobe that work now for a tremendous summer-to-fall transition and that you’ll be able to style all through the Fall season. I always say, “A great and affordable way to stay current” is adding on-trend accessories to your wardrobe each season. 

Accessories finish off the outfit while also changing its look. Have you ever noticed how you can change a basic outfit just by styling it with your accessories?

My girlfriends Cindy, Suzane, and Dawn are joining me today to share FALL for our monthly blog hop. I’ve linked them below, and you want to see what they’re sharing today, as I know it will be amazing.

Adding a few essential accessories to your wardrobe

On-trend Fall Accessories 

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe


Belts

Belts have been an accessory trend, from designer to Amazon finds, for the last few years. This fall, you’ll see even more, from thin to wide. Belts add interest, flatter your figure, draw attention to your waist, and add texture to your outfit.

Belts are for every style, whether you’re a quiet Luxury classic dresser, a girl who wears mostly work wear, jeans, a tee shirt, a dresser, or that country gal. Several cute belts are on trend this season in every shape, thickness, and style. 

Here are a couple I love and a couple I’ve styled.

Shop Belts Below:

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Chunky earring 

The 80s-style chunky gold workwear earrings started making a comeback last year, and they’re making an even bigger statement this year. 

I picked up this designer-inspired pair at the end of 22 and have been wearing them weekly ever since. I love the classic feel, yet they’re just the perfect size to wear casually with jeans and a tee, great for work wear, and great with dresses. These aren’t heavy, and the quality is fantastic for $12-14, compared to the $890-1400 designer look-alikes. 

Here are a few more affordable, on-trend, chunky earrings to refresh your wardrobe.

Bangle Bracelets

I’ve always been a bangle bracelet girl. I love a good arm party or arm candy stack, and bangles are a great way to add texture, color, and interest to any look for any season. 

However, we are seeing them coming in strong for Fall. A great stack I’ve owned for years is my BudhaGirl all-weather bangles. I’ve enjoyed these waterproof bangles because they’re light and can be worn underwater. They also take all the guesswork out of creating a stack. You can purchase the 3/5/7/9 stack bundles. 

I am a “more” kind of gal, and I adore you. Mix these bangles with your other favorite arm party bangles and bracelets. 

Here’s the Budha girl bangles I own:

I’ve created a few bracelet stacks that would be perfect for the summer-fall transition and would significantly refresh your wardrobe.

Shop the Leopard Dress and Bangles HERE

Fall Necklace trend

Pendant necklaces are making a comeback. I love a suitable statement pendant. They add a longer line to your outfit, giving the illusion of length, so if you need a little height or a slimming effect, a pendant necklace does that. 

I love necklace stacks, and it’s okay if you do, too. There are still a variety of ways to style them.

Pearls and Chunky bold gold pieces are also on trend and a great way to refresh your wardrobe.

Outfit Details On Trend For Spring

Lady’s Jackets came on the scene for Fall and Winter last year, and we see them in huge numbers this year. Ranging in prices from Amazon finds to Luxury, these cute pieces are great for dressing up jeans and a tee or perfect with slacks and pencil skirts for Fall.

Shoes

Ladylike shoes bring a touch of unexpected fancy-femme to fall’s hot denim silhouettes.

Cap-toe shoes, ballet flats, Mary Janes, pointed-toe shoes, classic loafers, and feminine details like a kitten heel with embellishments and buckle detail are some of the shoes we will see this fall. Shoes are a great way to update your look and can be affordable. Red is hot for shoes, and leopard print is some of the shoes we will see this fall.

Fall color trends

Adding Trending colors

Color trends are easy to incorporate and a great way to update your wardrobe.  

Shades of green, with olive green coming in on top. There is a lot of brown. Red is still popular, but plum/Wine and Terracotta/ Pumpkin are coming in strong.

As I’ve shared before, Something about the change of season makes you want to add a few new pieces to your wardrobe. Adding color trends is an easy way you can incorporate a trend without being too “trendy” if you like me and have more of a chic, classic style and like to add a pop of whimsy or something that makes a statement. Color is a great way to incorporate something new. Whether it’s the latest accessories, shoes, a bag, or a new arrival of clothing, a trending Color can easily update some of your classic pieces. 

Olive Green:

Olive green evokes space, wisdom, and compassion for humanity. It is also associated with harmony, diplomacy, and self-love.… Olive green represents the traditional color of peace.

This is a great color that pairs well with all the shades of fall; it looks preppy with navy and Chic & casual with denim.

Shades of Red:

Red is a powerful color and super fun to incorporate into your wardrobe. Everyone has a shade of red that works with their skin tone, blue or orange tones. Find the one that works for you. 

I am a blue-tone red girl. Last year, I started adding red pops with my accessories: a great bag, fun bow flats, a pair of red tennis shoes, a red belt, and even a red cashmere sweater and blazer. And I must say they were some of my favorite pieces, which I’ve worn repeatedly. 

They added that pop, yet worked with my classic workwear, dressed up a button-up and jeans to accessorize my summer style. 

Fall Trends To Refresh Your Wardrobe

Shop this Fall transition look HERE.

Terracotta, or I Like to call it, Pumpkin.

Pumpkin is a color I love in the fall, and it pairs very well with Leopard and denim. It’s a fun color for the season but can be tricky for some skin tones to wear. Incorporating this color into your wardrobe is a great way; if it does not look great, try it with accessories or a fun pair of pants or jeans. This color is great with cream, brown, and olive green shades.

Leopard

Leopard is an all-time favorite and, in my eyes, a classic pattern that is also neutral. Whether you want to add a pop to your accessories or wear it from head to toe, leopard is a must this year.

Staple colors:

The staple colors, like shades of green, camel, beige, etc., are always favorites during fall. You know I am a big fan of ivory/cream and could wear it daily. In the fall, it pairs well with everything.

Denim:

Denim is always going to be a fall staple. Last year, we saw denim on Denim looks in a strong way, and that will continue this year, as will more denim dresses, all styles of denim jeans and pants, and a variety of denim jackets in all shapes and styles.

3 Trendy Dresses from Target Perfect for Fall Transition

Hello Pretty ladies,

Happy Friday. I hope you had a good week and have something planned for the weekend. I’ve had a busy week with the wedding coming up, and we are excited and prepping for this upcoming week.

Today’s blog post will feature three Target dresses and a couple of cute handbags. The dresses are on sale right now for 30% off, which makes them under $25. You are going to love these dresses. They are trendy styles for now and for Fall, and I love that they can be styled for other events and occasions, from brunch and date night to concerts and workwear.

10 Favorite Things I am Loving

10 Favorite Things I Am Loving

Hello, pretty ladies,

I hope your July was a good one. I feel like I just asked you about June! These summer months seem to fly by.

Our oldest son is getting married on August 24th, and I know it will be here so fast. As we’re getting closer, I’ve been emotional several times. Maybe this will help me have my emotions under control by the wedding week. 

I haven’t done a Favorite Things wrap-up in a while, where I share what I have been loving and wearing or using on repeat. I thought sharing for our monthly blog hop with Dawn, Cindy, and Suzanne today would be fun. They’ll be sharing their July Best Sellers, favorites for summer, or things they love. Their blogs are linked below, so head over to them and see what they shared today.

—Things I am loving lately—

I could say “Favorite Things,” but my True favorite things aren’t “things”… It’s family, & friends, entertaining/hosting, making a home a home-cooking, gardening and traveling, and wandering boutiques, bookstores, and antique stores. 

So, with that said …. Things I am loving lately will do! Ox

10 Favorite Things 

Fashion

Eric Javits, budha girls, jeffery campbell

Eric Jervits bag, Budha Girl Bracelets, Jeffery Campbell sandals

Bags

Eric Jervits has a straw/rattan bag that comes with a clutch. The quality is impressive. It is fully lined, and the leather trim detail makes it sturdy and a piece you can use season after season. It truly goes with everything from pool attire to shorts and dresses.

Amazon Seamless Panties– If you love skims or hanky-panky thong panties, you’ll love these seamless packs of the BEST buttery-soft panties for under $19. They stay put, don’t roll, and are genuinely seamless—no panty lines, no matter what you wear! I give these as gifts to my girlfriends who like things, and they adore them and always purchase more! This is a genuine BEST SELLER for me.

Shoes

Jeffery Campell Sandals– Linques Flip Flop: A polished, link-shaped buckle and diagonally slanted square-toe top, this sleek flip-flop is crafted from smooth leather. Jeffrey Campbell consistently delivers a range of edgy, on-trend footwear, from bold shapes to versatile basics. Year after year, the fun-loving brand’s fresh, lively silhouettes delight, inspire, and never disappoint. I genuinely love his shoes, and these are a pair I’ve been living in all summer. They go with everything from shorts to linen pants, jeans, and sundresses. If you pack correctly, you could take these on a trip and go from pool to evening with these shoes.

Jeans

Oversized Cuffed Jeans– I am completely obsessed and have several pairs in various washes, brands, and price points. I’ve always loved a cuffed boyfriend’s jeans and even a straight leg. (to be honest, I’ve been wearing for years, and it’s always been a great way to wear jeans that might be just a hair too short because of my height. I could cuff them and make them look right. It always felt a little French-inspired. You can get wide-leg, patch-pocket, and straight-leg denim in various washes and price points. Let me tell you, I am in love with them all. I am sharing below all the styles I’ve been wearing on repeat for the last couple of months, and I even have this Risen pair in a lighter wash arriving tomorrow.

Flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was pretty busy! I had a baby shower to go to, and my nephew got into town with his friend, which meant we had a house full of boys for Sunday breakfast and dinner. My love language is cooking and hosting, so my heart was whole. 

Today kicks off the Nordstrom Sale, open for everyone to shop. Let me tell you, it’s a great sale this year. I have several blog posts and an Instagram post & Highlights with all my picks that I think you would love. Items have been selling fast, but they do restock throughout the sale. Make sure to follow me on Instagram for all the up-to-date info. I created a Nordstrom collection over on LTK HERE to make shopping for you easy. The sale goes until 8/4. With that said, I will be covering it until the end. It’s my favorite sale to shop all year, as I genuinely believe there are great pieces and deep discounts on items typically not on sale. 

My Try-on Haul HERE

Ally Shoes

Now, after that little life catch, let’s get to today’s blog post, all about flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes. I love a great pair of flats, maybe because I am tall? Perhaps because I feel like you can style them in so many ways and that they are appropriate for many of life’s everyday occasions. 

Ally Shoes is a new brand that I have fallen in love with. Today, I will share a little behind-the-scenes reason and an easy outfit you can take from a casual day look to a night look with just a couple of accessory changes. 

 

Flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes— Styled Day to Night—

 How cute are these tweed Cap Toe  flats  by Ally shoes 

You can take shoes from Day to night, style them casually, wear them for work wear, or dress up for drinks with friends! 

I am a sucker for a cute flat, and I love the mixture of textiles with this pretty shoe. Tweed is a classic and elegant textile with a rich feel; adding the patient leather cap toe elevates the whole shoe and gives it that designer feel.

Flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes

About this look

Want an easy outfit combo you can wear from Day to night by making additions and swap-outs? I’ve got you covered. This formula can be quickly followed with any top or bottom.

Pick your base outfit- I choose a tank top and wide-leg cuff denim jeans here. Then, you select your Ally shoes. I decided on the Textured cap toe flat from the London collection ( a limited edition). These are considered the base piece of your outfit. This base is cute, but let’s take it up a notch with the finishing touches and accessories! For the Bangle bracelets, a statement ring, Gold hoops, and a tote. Regarding the Day look, accessories are the “icing on the cake,” They can be used to finish any outfit. 

The easy part is taking this look to a nighttime look or even a more appropriate work look. Same base pieces, and adding a #rd piece to the blazer, in this case, it a cropped blazer to add balance to the high-waisted front patch pocket wide leg jeans. Switching out the bag to a more structured bag gives the whole look a more professional look. Lastly, I changed the hoops for a classic gold and pearl elevated earring and the casual bangles for a collection of gold bald bracelets. 

By making these easy changes, you created two different looks you could wear for many everyday occasions. 

Flats Styled from Day to Night with Ally Shoes

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Try-on Haul 2024

 Hello Pretty ladies, 

Yesterday, I headed to Nordstrom to try on the items I loved and had on my wish list in-store. I wanted to give you outfit inspirations and details on how the Items fit and what they looked like. Please view my full try-on here and save my highlights Here.

This sale has received extensive coverage; it is a great time to get deep discounts. However, this doesn’t mean you must go crazy and purchase just because it’s on sale. Be intentional with your purchases and inventory, as well as your needs and wishes.

Things I look for during the sale… Besides the six things I purchase every year, View HERE!

A few essential items to consider are Investment pieces, Cashmere, designer, Quality coats, bags, or sunglasses (Crewneck Cashmere Sweater), Shoes, and Premium denim. I look for brands that don’t often go on sale and take advantage of the opportunity to grab a few essential items I’ve been wanting. Which one is always a Free People sweater? I love the quality and fit, and they always have the style I love. 

The NSALE is always a great time to grab denim. Everyone should own at least one pair of premium denim for their wardrobe, and the NSALE is a great place to grab a pair on sale. Take note that Nordstrom’s sale also features several designer brands, or, I like to say, “Splurges.” This is a great time to score a key piece or two at discounted prices. View my Nordstrom tips Video HERE.

Insider Nordstrom Sale Tips and Dates

 Insider Nordstrom Sale Tips and DatesHello Pretty Ladies, 

The most anticipated Sale of the Year! It starts tomorrow, but only for cardholders with Icon Static…. I didn’t want non-cardholders to feel left out, so I scoured all 136 pages of the sale section to bring you my top picks throughout the week! I hope you enjoy seeing some of the pieces I own and a peek at my wish list, I am swooning over them. Perfect pieces to add to your Summer wardrobe, transition into Fall, and pieces you’ll live in all Winter! This Sale is the best price of the Year and makes for a great time to stock up. I will share my anniversary and beauty picks later in the week.

Things to remember: The Anniversary SALE is open for preview and starts tomorrow for Icon static cardholders….Don’t have a card? Apply here to shop for the Cardholder sale from July 9th to August 4th. Store sales will open to the public from July 15th to August 4th. Are you a cardholder? Remember, you get a triple points day, so don’t forget to schedule it for the day you’re headed to shop.

If shopping online, you can schedule your points on your order before checking out. If you feel like shopping on my page and using my links here and below, I thank you from the bottom of my heart because I get a tiny commission, which allows me to keep doing what I love.

 

Insider Nordstrom Sale Tips and Dates

Mark your calendar:

 Don’t forget to watch my Instagram stories for daily tips, to see my try-on, and for more in-store details. On July 10th, tune in at 4:00 p.m. for my live on Instagram. I’ll be sharing items I own and wardrobe builders. I’m also excited to give you a sneak peek at what will be on Sale from Wit & Wisdom as they send me six affordable pieces to share. Again, thank you for your support and for taking the time to stop by and read my post.

You don’t have to be a cardholder to SHOP the SALE! You can sign up to be a member for free and still earn points. 

Things to Know about the Sale

Link to apply for Nordstrom card HERE

If you want to score early access, apply for a Nordstrom credit card ASAP. The retailer offers two types of cards, a retail credit card and a Visa credit card, which provide the same benefits and are eligible for early access to the Anniversary Sale. While your cardmember status depends on yearly spending amounts (shared below), all cardmembers automatically start at Influencer status, which means you’ll get an extra four days to shop the Sale before it opens to everyone.

Insider tips

Early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins tomorrow for Cardholders, and even I can’t stop until the 11th! The bummer is that things start selling quickly, so I have some tips!

  • Shop online! This is where you will find the most extensive selection!
  • Add to Wishlist! If you see something you love, add it to your wishlist, so the day you’re able to shop, you can immediately “add to cart”!
  • Add a different size! If the size you are looking for sells out in your size, add a different size to your shopping bag and check back often as things get returned and stocked! I’ve even had luck exchanging after the sale for the correct size and color.
  • Expedite Shipping! For $20, this bumps your order and gives you a better chance to get what you want!

 

When can I shop for the 2024 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

July 1st- Online preview begins ( you can start planning and creating your wishlist) 

Icons July 9th-14th -Icon Early Access. Icons spend over $15,000 per Year

How I am Breaking Down the Sale:

What I will be sharing from the Nordstrom sale is broken down. I feel breaking the Sale down and scaling it into categories is essential. Hopefully, you will find this method easier and won’t feel overwhelmed. Please note that I go through every sale item and think about what a great deal is and what closet staples are great to add without going overboard. I also choose items that are hard to find on Sale, so shopping for them now may be your only chance to get them on Sale. Follow my Shop.

6 Things I Purchase Every Year from the Nordstrom Sale

6 Things I Purchase Every Year from the Nordstrom Sale
 
Hello Pretty Ladies,
Happy Sunday!
I hope you had a great Fourth of July. We spent the day with family and friends and enjoyed great food and a fun fireworks display. There’s nothing like the Fourth in a small town. I don’t know about you, but having a Holiday in the middle of the week throws off my days! How are we already heading into the second week of July? Summer needs to slow down. 
Today’s little catch-up…

Nordstrom Sale

The Nordstrom sale starts this week. I am sharing the six things I purchase yearly, some of my favorite things, what’s on my wish list, a couple of great things to pick up that you rarely find on sale, and a few fun surprises. I’ll have a couple of entire blog posts dedicated to helping you if you’re interested in the sale. 

Sale Month

July is an excellent month if you love a good sale, as Target, Walmart, and Amazon Prime Sales are also this month. If you are interested in the sales and want to see what I feel is a great deal and worth purchasing, follow my Shop.LTK is linked below. Subscribe to post notifications, and you won’t miss a thing. 
It’s Sunday, which means Sunday dinners, and tonight we’re doing smoked brisket. Sharing that recipe below and a few things you could have missed.

Thank you so much for being here! OX

6 Things I purchase

 

Six things I purchase Every Year

Candles

–Candles: I love the Capri blue volcano or the Voluspa candles. Even better on-sale

Volcano- A hand-poured candle made from a rich soy-wax blend and housed in a lidded glass jar—is perfect for gifting. The volcano candle is the ideal blend of citrus and sugar notes. This fragrance is simply unforgettable, like the excitement and energy of a summer night rendezvous. SALE $22.90; after-sale $34.00. I burn this candle year-round and love grabbing a couple when they are on sale.

Voluspa-Voluspa handcrafts an incredible range of scents that are as inspired, complex, and beautiful as you are, set in radiantly sophisticated glass that elevates every room and every mood—a 3-pack of their best-sellers for $55.99 after the sale for $84.00.

 

 

Beauty

 –Khiels lotion is so good.- Refill or 33.8oz bottle = A superb all-over body moisturizer. Sale $60 after sale $93  This lotion keeps my dry skin moisturized, so soft and smooth. It’s a must-have if you live in a dry climate. 

 

–Charlotte Tilbury’s makeup: I like any of her makeup. I love buying the Nordstrom sets. A three-piece lip kit in the universally loved Pillow Talk hue features everything you need for a classic nude-pink lip. Now $65 after sale $95

 

  –  Donna Karen Cashmere deodorant is my all-time favorite, and this three-pack lasts me all year:)! I adore the smell, and it works so well. Cashmere Mist Deodorant & Antiperspirant Trio. A set of three effective deodorants and antiperspirants infused with the iconic Cashmere Mist scent. Sale $72.00 after Sale $96.00-

Shoes -I love fall shoes and always pick up a few on the sale; I’ve created a list of my picks below.

June’s 12 Best Sellers

June’s 12 Best Sellers

Hello Pretty Ladies,

June is officially over, and man, was it a blur. From a vacation in Colorado, throwing a large bridal shower, and entertaining family in town, the actual start of summer, which is when you can start to work in your yard in Utah, we finish our deck remodel, Save a kitten, off the highway, Shes doing excellent by the way. Then, I head out of town for a weekend with my hubby in Park City. I feel like I lost a month of Summer. 

Why is it winter is eight months long, and Summer flies by? July is another month that becomes a blur. July 4 is so fast, and all the Crazy sales start for Back to School and Fall! The Nordstrom sale Starts July 9, Walmart the 8th-11th, Target July 7th-13th, and Amazon Prime July 16-17th. Will you be shopping the Big 4 sales? If so, I would love to know what you are shopping for and if you want me to showcase anything special. Comment below if you have any questions for me. 

About the July Sales

I’ll share the six items I purchase yearly from Nordstrom and my picks on Amazon Prime sale, my favorite pick from each, what I believe is too good of a sale not to grab, and some gift ideas. 

As for the Nordstrom sale, I will do an in-store try-on; you loved the one I did last year, as I know it helps you see how they fit. Here is last year’s Try-on. I have already noticed that several of my BEST SELLERS from previous years are on sale again this year, and if you plan on grabbing a sale item or two, you might want to add them to your wish list to have them ready when you can shop. If you’re interested in shopping for sales, sign up for my post alerts on ShopLTK. This will help you see the posts first. You can do that HERE.

Please remember that I am sharing things that caught my eye, which are great and will help you build your wardrobe. But by no means don’t feel like you have to shop just because they’re on sale. I always say it’s only a good deal if you wear and style it in multiple ways.

Friday’s Favorites and Weekend Sale Round Up!

Friday’s Favorites and Weekend Sale Round Up!

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Another week is flying by, and it’s hard to believe it’s the last few days of June. Ben and I are headed out of town for some stay-cation in Park City. He booked it forever ago, and he’s looking forward to a bit of downtime. If we stay home, he continues to work at our or someone else’s home, so he likes to book several local weekend trips a year.

Let’s catch up

July is a busy month, with all the BIG sales, the Nordstrom sale, Amazon Prime days, and Walmart & Target having to get into the game. I’ll be covering my favorite picks and things I have purchased, but I would love to know if there is something you want me to cover or review. Comment below with your questions and what sales you’re looking forward to. It’s great to start creating your wish lists now.  here are a couple of favorite THINGS I recommend Purchashing if you don’t have Spanx| Free People Sweater| Pillow Talk| New Balance 327| 

Excited this year that a couple of brands I have loved and purchased from have reached out to partner with me. Can’t wait to share the items and show you how I will style them. 

I look forward to a July girlfriends/work trip with some of my favorite Midlife blogger friends. Mixing work and play is always a good time. Do you have any guesses as to whom I will be meeting?

July also means we’re in countdown mode for our son’s wedding.  August 24th is going to come up fast.  My dress arrived yesterday and fit perfectly, so that is a check off my list. I need to start working on the welcome boxes, and I still have some details to finish up for the rehearsal party. Say party because it’s a Black Tie destination wedding, and we invited everyone who will be in town on Friday to attend the more casual Lake Party after the rehearsal.

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!

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 . 

I love to see what grows in that area and learn a little. Plus it’s always beautiful 🌵🌺🌸🌵Did you know a good size catus is $2,000-5,000 and a decent size Palm tree starts at $7,500 to $15,000 and that was the sale prices.

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 ✔️
