9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

 

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

Let’s talk fitness, Not something I talk a lot about. Fitness isn’t something I really talk about because, well… I don’t really love it! I have found as I have gotten older, it’s even more important to stay active. I’m not a gym girl at all. However, I do love pilates, yoga, and weight classes. It’s not something I do regularly, but I am really trying hard to do. Adding these in more regularly has been something I am working on. I’ve always been very flexible; this has started to change. Losing my flexibility was something I didn’t want to lose, and I have prioritized staying flexible. 

I have found I really like a good walk with my hubby, friends or family. A good hike with the girls is always fun and an adventure, and being outside in the fresh air and getting the much-needed vitamin C is how I prefer to get in my exercise. With that being said, I do know how important it is to keep your flexibility and muscle mass up. This year, I am making a better attempt to add in some strength training, a kettlebell, and more yoga and pilates. Adding in meditation, which is completely new to me but has been much needed for my mind and spirit.

Here are a few pieces I love, perfect for workouts, hikes, and even lounging.

Above I thought I would share some of the things I am loving and using right now.

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

  1. Lulu lemon sports bra= I love the soft fabric and support.
  2. Lulu Lemon Legging= I love it comes in 3 lengths (I need the longest). These are not see-through like some of the Lululemons I’ve had before. The fabric is butter soft and holds you in. 
  3. Yoga mat= I love everything about this mat, the feel, the comfort, and the design.
  4. Northface jacket= I love a puffer jacket, and it is much needed in Utah. Winter and even Spring walks can be very chilly. Warm, comfortable, and stylish.
  5. Water bottle= I really love the timelines marked to keep me on track. Drinking a lot of water daily has always been important to me, and this really helps. 
  6. Kettelbell= 10 pounds, not a ton of weight, but it gives you a good workout.
  7. Meditation cushion= perfect for that quiet time. I love the look and comfort.
  8. Collagen powder= So important for your joints and gives benefits to your hair, nails, and skin as well.
  9. Walking shoes= so affordable and comfortable. I love the color.

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

Collagen is something everyone needs but even more important as we age. I add it to my coffee or tea in the morning. I have seen a huge difference in my hair and nails but, most importantly, my knees. 

Yoga is great for flexibility, core strength, and your mind. If your weather is nice, try it outside, I promise you’ll love the sense of peace. Not to mention the importance of Vitamin C.  Grab a girlfriend if you need a little nudge. (I use a Yoga class on Youtube) You only need 15-30 mins a day to see results. Here’s one I like HERE. For a successful Meditation, you really only need 10-15 min a day. Meditation HERE

I am so happy to share my blogging Friends with you today. Please hop over to their blogs to see ways they get in fitness!

Fall vibes 2020, Fashion Trends

Fall Fashion is one of my favorites. Sweaters, layers, and all things cozy have me excited for cooler days and all things pumpkin.

  I thought I’d share with you what I felt was going to bring on All the Fall Vibes this 2020.

  For the last couple of Fall seasons, we’ve been seeing leopard and Camo making substantial presents, and it’s not going away for 2020. This theme happens to be my Theme/series week on Instagram; I hope you’ve been checking out my posts! HERE.

Leopard Top HERE Camo jacket HERE

 

Shop my post picks below👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Fall vibes 2020 has some of the Fall basics, like plaids, flannels, puffer vests, and puffer jackets, but this year we are going to be seeing a lot of Capes & ponchos.

This Gucci inspired Poncho is unfortunately sold out. Check back as when it restocks, I’ll post this fun Fall vibe look.

Buffalo check is one of my all-time favorites & this Poncho is a Must and a steal.🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

From Walmart Fashion HERE Pair with your favorite jeans and booties for a pulled together and easy Fall look.

fall vibes 2020 fashion trends you’ll love, puff sleeve

  Puff sleeves on shirts and dresses (think puffy or pouf sleeves, hem details, and ruffles). I love the feminine touch; it gives our fall outfits. Spices up simple dresses and tops for that unique detail we love. We love to pair with basic denim for a comfortable outfit that has Spice.

Here are a few I fell in love with🍁🍂👇🏻🍁🍂

Finding the perfect Fall coat is not to difficult…. It’s right here, the perfect Camel coat! Wear it with anything and look so chic and stylish no matter what you have on underneath. Some of my favorites below.

Everyone Needs the perfect Camel coat in any length.

 

Denim Flared Jeans $89 Here

  I adore the Hem and look great with chunky sweaters to blazers and everything in between.

  Flared Jeans are making a big statement, Another one of my picks HERE bringing us that 70’s vibe, along with Fringe details on jackets to purses. Adding that fun detail that makes you want to swing that fringe around!

 

   I am loving the fringe detail showing up on the booties, too, adding a little western for Fall 2020 vibes. Pairing a feminine top with pretty sleeves and cropped wide-leg jean gives you a great balance.

Fringe Jacket Similar HERE & HERE

And love this one from Walmart HERE $48

Fringe Bag Similar HERE & HERE

🍂🍁👇🏻👇🏻Shop more of my Fall Vibes below👇🏻👇🏻🍁🍂

I know Fashion for 2020 this far has been a lot of loungewear and cozy at home pieces. I don’t see that really changing, but I do see us moving more towards street style and adding those fun fashion pieces that are easy to wear and move in while adding in some style. You can be comfortable wearing and looking suitable for a zoom session. Let’s face it…it is fun to get dressed even if our social life is a little different.

  Now grab a couple of fun New Fall pieces and head out to lunch with the girls, have a date with hubby, go for a drive or make a coffee date… your New Fall Fashions will be itching to wear all season long.

Fall is the perfect time to change up your home decor. I adore all things Fall, Pumpkins, the yummy scents of Fall, Spiced apples, cinnamon, pumpkin, leaves falling, cozy blankets, cute mugs, and collecting Pumpkins. Here are some of my favorite items for your home to give your home all the Fall vibes for 2020.

Saying Goodbye to Summer…Fashion I am packing away!

Saying Goodbye to Summer…Fashion I am packing away!

Do you have those Summer pieces you wore over and over and are sad when it comes time to pack them away? These are pieces that don’t transition into Fall. Summer short, Summer Printed tops and dresses, Sandals you loved, and those perfect Straw hats and Fun Summer Bags. I sure do, These pieces I wore to death all summer long and genuinely hated having to pack them away, Partly because it means the end of summer and partly because these pieces brought me joy all summer long. 

Saying Goodbye to Summer...Fashion I am packing away! Summer fashion I wore the heck out of and am sad to be packing away.

 

These linen shorts HERE from Old navy I purchase in the stripe and four solid colors. So affordable, comfortable, and easy to style. I wore with a tank or graphic tee and if not to hot-finished off with a denim jacket. Shop the whole look HERE.  Picking up summer pieces on SALE for next year is always a great idea and like Christmas when you unpack your summer clothing! 

 

Saying Goodbye to Summer...Fashion I am packing away! Summer fashion I wore the heck out of and am sad to be packing away.

My favorite sandal this year by far! I purchased my tan shoes from my girlfriends little boutique Rowan in California. Best purchase ever, I could have worn every day they worked with every outfit I put together. Forcing myself to grab other sandals (lord knows I own plenty!) These would be great for traveling just for that reason. Here, and Similar in tan HERE and HERE

Saying Goodbye to Summer...Fashion I am packing away!

 

Those fun straw bags and favorite espadrilles we all love and collect scream all things summer! I am a sucker for cute bags and shoes. They get me every season, but especially in the summer. These are very hard for me to say goodbye. The struggle is so real 🙂 but let’s face it transitioning these cuties into Fall is pushing it. It’s time to say goodbye for now and see you in a year. Bring out the booties and fantastic leather bags, and this Fall, you might even be seeing some fringe. Shop these shoes here.

I like to store all my summer bags in the totes below; I like the clear bins so I can see them. I store all my Summer sandals in the shoe storage, also shown below.

 

I loved the Blazer and Bermuda shorts trend this year, Yes Blazer’s transition great into every season, but as I stated above, shorts are hard, especially in Utah. All though you can wear with a sweater and sweatshirt on chillier evenings or a crisp day, those days are far too little living here in Utah or Mountain communities. Packing these guys away, Tip, I like to roll all my shorts and store in bins showed below. Shop this look HERE

More shorts and here I am showing one of my favorite Summer straw hats, Spf 50 sunscreen built-in! Straw hats unless its a cowboy hat is for Summer and time to pack away. Shop this look HERE  Now, thank goodness Kimonos transition well for Fall unless a bright Summer print, so keep those out for a little while longer. 

Check out at the end of this post how I like to store my hats and other treasures.

Shop my Favorite Shorts on SALE from Nordstrom sale below

Although I love,  I move all my Floral, summer printed tops, skirts, and dress in summer colors to the back of my closet. My Fall and Winter wardrobe is full of darker and more Fall & Winter seasonal colors. Black, gray, cream, wine, spiced, mustard, navy, etc. Shop this look HERE

Saying Goodbye to Summer...Fashion I am packing away! Summer fashion I wore the heck out of and am sad to be packing away.

Floral Prints and what to do?

Saying Goodbye to Summer…Fashion I am packing away! My love of floral prints always has me sad to see them go. Fall color florals transition into Fall so you can keep those out for a little longer, but as I stated above, Summer florals should be packed away. Note my favorite sandals here again:)  

Saying Goodbye to Summer...Fashion I am packing away!

What do you do with those seasonal dresses?

Dresses can be so versatile and can be great wardrobe builders, but unfortunately, some dresses do scream their season, like above, it truly is a Summer/Spring dress. Find it HERE. Just like a sweater dress is a Fall/Winter dress. If you purchase a ton of this season’s tee shirt dress, You can keep those out and transition those into your Fall wardrobe by adding layers and wearing with booties or tennis shoes. Suppose you have darker colored or dark or fall printed dresses that transition perfectly as well. I’ll be sharing some Fall transition looks all upcoming week in my stories and my Instagram feed, so make sure you follow along. 

Sharing with you what I am Saying Goodbye to Summer with and what Fashion I am packing away! I hope I inspired you to say goodbye to Summer in a pleasant way and maybe even get a little organized to make room for that Fun FALL fashion. ( Hope you checked out My Fall picks from the Nordstrom SALE HERE, HERE, HERE)

 

            Do your Pack up our closet or shift you’re seasonal close to the back?

Speaking of packing, do you pack up your Summer clothing and accessories, or do you move them to the back of your closet?  I do both, I pack up some items, and I shift other pieces to the back. I thought you might like some of my favorite closet organizing containers for packing up Seasonal pieces in your closet. These pieces can also help you organize your closet regularly. Shop organizing below

How do you feel about Saying Goodbye to Summer? Are you Packing away any Fashion? I’d love to know how you handle your closet for the seasons, comment below! OX, D’Arcy

The best flavor is to make a day ahead. I hope you guys enjoy it because this #sangriawine is a winner in my book.

Hello Beautifuls! 

Last week I introduced you to Baggallini luggage & bag company, I promised you some easy packing tips and 6-7 outfit looks with just a few pieces of clothing. Packing for a two day trip with my @baggallini rolling tote and back pack help make traveling easy and light. Here are 8 tips I hope you find useful.

Packing Tip #1: Find luggage that is easy to use, lightweight and stylish! Not only are these bags stylish, they are so functional. The tote is overflowing with compartments for a laptop, documents, clothing, cosmetics. I love everything can have a place with 3 zippered compartments! The matching Metro backpack lets you be hands free has multiple pockets & comes with a RFID wristlet which helps keep your information safe! ✈️

I love the black on black Cheetah print and the piece are so lightweight! 🧳 You know I love me some animal print.

I had a quick meeting✈️ last week and I stated I’d share my packing tips for creating easy outfits out of just a few pieces to make packing light!  I don’t know about you but I love the ease of 1 carry on bag! I want to look put together and chic without the hassle of multiple luggage. Here’s 7 more of my favorite tips & the clothing pieces I used to create 7 looks with ease…

Packing Tip #2: I like to travel wearing a jacket that can be versatile, this give you more room in your bag! Packing tip #3: Pack items that can mix and match allowing you to pack less but create new looks!  In the bag…Pj’s, toiletries, undergarments, laptop, tan wedges, white jeans, button up top, shirt dress, jewelry….all going with the pieces I am wearing…I can create 6-7 looks with these pieces!

Clothing Pieces: To create the 7 looks above.Denim Jacket {here} White Jeans {here} Leggings {here} Similar {here} White Sweater {here} Similar {here} Bird Top sold out Another Option{here} Leopard Dress {here} Similar {here} Another Option {here} Wedges Similar {here} Another option {here} Converse {here} Another Option {here} Pj’s similar {here}

Packing Tip #4: Use a divider toiletry bag {here} and purchase the travel size bottles of everything you regular use.  Packing Tip #5: I love shoes and could pack a different pair for every outfit! Try to build your outfits out of pieces that work with just a couple types of shoes. This keeps your bags lighter and really does help to keep things simple. (In the Winter I try to wear my boots on plane and pack the lighter pair.) Packing Tip #6: Pack a tide stick & dryer sheet to keep your clothing smelling fresh and remove a spot. Packing Tip #7: I like to use little snack baggies to pack my necklaces in and keep tangle free. Packing Tip #8 Pack a variety of jewelry, some statement earrings, hoops, along with several rings, necklaces & bracelet piece’s that work together to give your outfits different looks. Jewelry is small and yet makes a big impact on finishing an outfit.

Hello Beautifuls,

If you’ve been following along on my Instagram, you know I’ve been obsessed with scarves lately and even shared a video on ways to wear {Here}. I love that it is a big trend for Spring and happy to share ways you can add this fun little trend into your wardrobe. It’s a trend that every age can wear and incorporate into your wardrobe with out breaking the bank. I don’t know about you but I used to wear scarves and ribbons in my hair back in high school and yes that little thing called a scrunchie!  I love it’s back but with a little extra something added.. a scarf!  It makes for adding to your hairdos easy. If you don’t want to wear in your hair you can just take the scarf off. I love getting multiple uses out of something. Don’t you?

These scarves also make for great gifts. I give to all my February & March friends for their birthday’s with a pair of statement earrings and a lipstick! They loved! You can even hang one of a bottle of wine like my cute girlfriend did as a gift!  

I hope some of my ways to wear this seasons scarf trend inspire you to try it out! If so tag me on social media, @darcyvandenberg I’d love to share how you’re wearing it with my following!

Have a happy weekend! OX, D’Arcy

Hello Beautifuls, its been a little while since I’ve posted a blog post and I am so sorry! If you follow my Instagram and my stories I explained my little creative funk. Winter sometimes puts me in the blues and then add teaching full time to the mix and it took all my time. I have finished my long term teaching position and and am ready to poor my heart and soul out here. I’ll have to share about my experience teaching here soon! If you want to hear about it let me know!

Valentine’s day is tomorrow and I have been sharing inspiration all over my Instagram for the last couple of weeks and several of you asked to see more everyday outfit inspirations. You ask, I give! 🙂 In this post I wanted to share several looks you could get inspiration from and hopefully copy with similar items you have in your closet. Remember if you don’t have the exact item you can use “like” items… Think graphic tee, sweater, cardigan, leather coat, black jeans etc. I linked items that were in stock and other items that I loved or are similar. (Thank you so much for shopping my links and supporting my blog it really means the world to me!) 

I adore the month of February, the month of all things love. My hubbies birthday is first part of the month, then Valentines day and we end with our Anniversary. We have something to celebrate each week and it helps this Winter month to go by FAST. I also love hearts and all things pink and red so i’ve been collecting pieces of clothing, jewelry, and decor that work for the month of love for years! Every year I pick up a couple more things. Don’t worry if you don’t have a huge Valentine collection, just think Pink, red, sparkly and even a touch of leopard. Valentines doesn’t have to be fancy or dressy either (although I always love a chance to dress up), I found I don’t dress up for Valentines (I do for our Anniversary). I normally work and cook a fun festive dinner for my family so I need more everyday looks that are festive and fun. This was the first February teaching school and I wore a fun Valentine look everyday last week and the kids and other teachers loved it. (especially the little girls!) That made my last week of school more fun! One of the things I realized about teaching that kids are so observant and really do love all the Holiday festive clothes and jewelry! (thank goodness I had a bunch of Christmas things to wear for the month of December) If you want to check out my festive Holiday looks I wore they are on my Instagram feed. So after all that… that is the reason for my outfit inspirations! Everyday Valentine’s day looks you can wear day or night.

I hope you find inspiration in this post and if you have questions or an idea you want me to blog about please leave a comment. Have a beautiful Valentine’s Day OX, D’Arcy!

October Favorites

laying in fall leaves, blond hair

October Favorites!

I am a little late to the game on posting October Favorites! But better late than never right? October was a crazy month and It’s one of my favorite months too! (maybe because it’s my birthday month?) Anyway posting a monthly round up of my favorite things from that month featuring anything I loved, from fashion to podcast I am listening to. On Instagram it has been a popular posts of mine so I thought I would share a more detailed favorites from the month here on the blog! This will be a NEW monthly post (hopefully closer to the end of the month)! This will feature any random things I loved through out the month including products I used up!      October brought us all the Fall feels with cooler temperatures and pumpkin spice starting to make its way into everything! So here is what made its way into my heart, home and body this last October!

October Favorite: Fall Fashion

black and white buffalo check

One of my favorite things is dressing for fall! I love the layers and finding fun pieces. This jacket I found last year at Nordstrom rack and am linking a (similar one DEAL Here and Here) pants and sweater are linked in photo below.

all black outfit, fall outfit, fall vibes, photos,

Fall leaves are gorgeous this time of the year and perfect for stunning photos! Loving all the Fall vibes. Outfit details: Sweater {here} {similar here} black jeans {similar here} Another October Favorite: over the knee boots {similar here and Here}

leopard booties, thinking photo

On my Instagram I shared this post with my feelings on aging, read it here. October is my birthday month and I always enjoy the beauty of Fall and the feelings you get from the cooler temperatures and color change. Outfit details: Duster {similar here and here}, distressed jeans {similar here and here}, tee shirt {here}, and another one I love {here}, plus a killer deal {here}. Let’s not forget these supper cute booties {here}, October favorite for Sure! My leopard cardigan made the cut as well for a October favorite {here}, and this Sweatshirt {here}, plus these pj’s {here}.

October Favorite Books 

One of the books I read Wildchild is my months fav! I couldn’t put it down! Here are a couple more books I read: Good, Better, Best by Sue McCarthy, Audacious by Beth Moore and The Participation Game by Norty Cohen. I love to read and I love a real book to hold, not a fan of my kindle except for travel. How about you? I normally don’t get 4 books done in 1 month either but being a teacher you read when the kids do! I enjoyed each book and was excited to learn business techniques, more about faith and a book for the joy of reading and taking you somewhere different with a story line you could relate too.  What are you reading? On my nightstand right now is Joanna Gaines book (I have had since she released it! Maybe a year or two?)  In my school bag is The Career Code.

 

book of the month, book club

A book about the photographer, model and magazine world. Was such a fun read I couldn’t put it down!
A quote from the book Wildchild that I loved and couldn’t have said better! ” Style makes you different, fashion makes you the same!”

October Favorite Products

I used up, well maybe my hubby helped a little! Wink wink! Loreal Revitalift Intensive Overnight Mask: wear in the evening after cleaning face. really moisturizes but feels really thick. Glo Hydra Radiance Moisturizer: daily moisturizer that makes your skin really glow, almost dewy, I would purchase again. Hyaluronic Acid Anti Aging Serum: Use after your toner & helps even skin tone and tighten skin, I think my skin looked clearer (not that I have any kind of acne) just fresh looking. Revision Skincare Retinol Complete: use this at night only and after serum, I used around my eyes and smile lines. I feel like it helped reduce the lines. I think it’s a smart product to use in your late 30’s to 60’s. If you have been following you know how important skin care is to me and that I am always trying new products out to see what works and what doesn’t. I try to share my results with you over on Instastories and every so often I’ll do a beauty routine or round up over here on the blog. Please let me know on what social platform you want me to post results? 

New here? I am 47 and nobody ever guesses my age:) some of that I can thank my mom… The other is because of my skin care routine. I do a face mask twice a week (used to be once a week until I learned 4-5 months ago you should do two a week! I use a cleanser, everyday and a scrub maybe 3 times a week, I do use a toner, then a serum, retinol is new to my routine and only at night and I finish with a moisturizer. At least one night a week I sleep with vaseline all over my face because Utah is so dry! I am sharing this with you so you can understand my routine and know I try a product out for the whole month sometimes two before I share it. I want you to know I support products I love and I am not always sponsored by the product. What’s your favorite product? Will you be trying one of my October favorites? Please let me know below!

utah lakes, sunrises

October brings the most beautiful sunrises. This photo was on my morning drive alongside the lake.

October Favorite Podcasts

I am listening to and can’t get enough… I don’t even listen to music in the car anymore!

Favorites List:

  1. The Influencer Pod: Cast if your an influencer or in any kind or marketing its a must!
  2. Joel Osteen: Christian.
  3. Style Collective: Great if you’re self employed.
  4. Wit & Wisdom: Also great if you’re self employed.
  5. Pop Fashion: You guessed it Fashion based.

My October Favorite Random Things

This month I adored this lipstick (here), my favorite blanket to snuggle up with (here), and my favorite seasonal mug (here), both I used to snuggle up and watch Hocus Pocus at least 25 times during the month of October! My favorite NEW TV shows: God Friended Me and A Million Little Things!

And now the really good stuff! Fall means comfort food, homemade soups, mac and cheese, chicken pot pie and yummy pastas! Here’s my easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe (here) and I will continue to share our families favorite dishes with you since its some of my most engaged posts. Below is my oldest son Hudson’s easy Spicy Rigatoni Recipe! Your gonna love it, and it’s so very easy!

 

pasta lovers dish

My Sons Easy Spicy Rigatoni Recipe:
For a quick and easy throw together meal that feels like you slaved in the kitchen. You’ll love this Spicy Rigatoni Recipe. Our family loves Buca di Beppos Spicy Chicken Rigatoni. One day Hudson my oldest decided he was going to recreate it, in a fast college student way! He did and it is really yummy.

You’ll Need: 

1 box rigatoni Our Favorite HERE

1 16 oz jar of your Favorite Marinara sauce (we like garlic and basil) It’s WHOLE30 HERE

1 16 oz jar of your favorite Alfredo sauce but your only using about 10 oz (we like this one HERE)

1 half pint heavy whipping cream using 1/2 off the container  (we like this one HERE)

1 small bag of frozen peas

2 tablespoons of fresh minced garlic 

1 tablespoon of crushed red pepper HERE

salt and pepper to taste 

1/2 cup parmesan cheese to top off  HERE

Optional Add Ins: 3 Grilled chicken breast cut thin and pan fried or grilled.

In a large pan bring to boil water for pasta and follow direction on box. In a medium sauce pan pour in jar of Marinara sauce, add about 10-12 oz of the Alfredo sauce and 1/2 the container of the cream let simmer and add in all the seasonings. Don’t add peas to sauce until very end (about 1 min to sauce) right before you drain pasta and are ready to dish up, you want the peas to be warm but still have a little crunch. Plate pasta, cover in sauce and top with parmesan! So good and dinner in less then 20 minutes! Serve with a salad and garlic bread!

My favorite pasta serving bowl (HERE) and the best strainer (HERE)

Did you do anything from my Fall bucket list HERE?

I hope you had a beautiful October and enjoyed my list of my favorite October things! I also hope you try a couple of them maybe this November. I can’t believe it’s already the 2nd week in November and I have some exciting things planned for the blog. I love November and the reminder of all the things we should be grateful for. I will be sharing my gratitude list, easy way’s to give back and some fun shopping guides for the up coming Holiday season. I will also post shopping guides for my Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday picks along with Holiday outfits, a couple of our favorite Holiday recipes and of course my Thanksgiving table scape and peeks at some Holiday decor! So stay tuned as I have exciting things to share! Have a beautiful week! OX, D’Arcy

HOW to Wear it 3 ways for  #wearitwednesdays 
❤️ Pencil skirts are always a great idea✔️ They LOOK great on every figure and come in ever length....Even easier to style♥️🤍♥️🤍♥️🤍♥️
Seriously as easy as Jeans✔️✔️✔️
🤍
Style 1. with a sweater and leather jacket & heels 2. style with a graphic tee, a cool Teddy coat and kicks, and 3.pattern play, with mixed prints and classic accessories ♥️🤍♥️🤍
Really the options are endless...so next time instead of grabbing jeans grab a pencil skirt and switch it up a bit 🥰⭕️❌
Specially for the month of February ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

Headed out of town Today for my Hubbies Birthday tomorrow 🥰 I love his Birthday, it’s just another thing that make February a Happy month🥰♥️🥰♥️
Did you know most people do not like the Month of February? I didn’t know that either... I was looking up quotes for February, and all of them are about death, winter, short month and completely depressing 😢 It’s always been the month of love to me❤️ ( I have always been a 1/2 full girl)  month Full of Pink and Red,  A fun Holiday to celebrate ( school Valentine’s parties were the best) and I loved it was a short month❤️ gets us to Spring faster...
Then When I met Ben, it added in another thing to celebrate 🤍HIM!! On TOP of that we added in our Anniversary ❤️POW..Something to celebrate every week in the Month of ❤️ 💗♥️💕
See how I spun that🤣🤪 The most dreaded Month by many is ONE of MY most favorites❤️ 
🤍
They say it’s ALL in our attitudes and I have to agree....
🤍
5 of my most favorite people also have Birthdays this month❤️
@clanlarson @lewis.melissa @__kaylarene, My Aunt Mary and KJ🍾🍓🍾🍓🍾
🤍
So Tell me something YOU are grateful for in this Beautiful month of February ❤️❄️❤️❄️❤️❄️
