Styling A Dough Bowl For Fall
Hello pretty ladies,

Today, I am sharing an easy way to add Fall touches to your home with a dough bowl.
Whether you’re a big fall decorator or just want to add a little bit of fall decor to warm up your space. 
A dough bowl is a great way to add decor for every season, on your kitchen island, dining room table, coffee table, or even entry table. 
Makes a great anchor, for seasonal items.
I love fall and I love to decorate. One of my favorite items to style is a dough bowl. Here are a few tips that can help you create a Fall display with ease.

A dough bowl is a great way to add decor for every season, on your kitchen island, dining room table, Coffee table, or even entry table. 
Makes a great anchor, for seasonal items. Easy to change them according to the time of year.
 

Tip 2

Work in odd numbers, an interior design trick is to work in odd numbers, 3,5,7, etc. This adds balance and helps create clusters that work to keep the eye wandering along with interest.  

Tip 3 

Use items you love, use a variety of items in different textures and materials. Use different sizes and heights. This not only adds interest but keeps your display from being flat.

Way To Style Cabana Life For Fall

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope your week is going well and you enjoy the last bit of summer. Our weather hasn’t quite hit the fall temperatures, but it’s coming faster than some want. I love summer, but I adore Fall. The cooler mornings and evenings, the smell of the air, and the changing of the leaves are just a few things I am looking forward to. Today, I want to share Cabana life’s spf50 eyelet dress styled a little western for Fall. 

Cabana Life clothing doesn’t have to be resort wear or summer clothing. You can easily give their pieces a new look by adding different accessories or laying them up. Here I said western boots, a big Fall trend, and a cowboy hat. On a chilly day, you could add a denim jacket. This look would be darling for a music festival, country concert, country fair, the rodeo, or like I am wearing it on vacation to Jackson hole, Wy.

7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools

7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools

7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools

Hello Pretty Ladies, I hope you had a great week. I am on vacation with my mom and sister, taking a road trip, and checking a few places off our bucket list. (more on that later) I hope you are tuning into my Instagram stories to travel with us. While I didn’t join in on the Chat on Chit Chat Chic, they talked about all things hair. I thought I would chime in here and share my picks. 7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools.

Some of my biggest questions asked is how I do my hair and what I use. below, I am sharing a quick round-up of my hair care products, tools, and styling items I love. Hoping I can answer some of your questions in the process. Note: I share how I style my hair and ways to do a couple of my go-to looks over on my Instagram on reels, and the Highlight Tap Hair do’s. HERE HERE.

7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools

7 Must Have Hair Care & Styling Tools

  1. T3 Hair Dryer-Want that professional blowout look? Need your hair to dry fast? Then this is your hair dryer. 

  2. Braided Hair Piece– I love this easy-to-wear headband. So easy to use and adds detail to your hair fast. I love it with a ponytail but looks great with your hair down and a couple of pieces of hair pulled out around your face. Affordable at $

  3. T3 curling Iron-Need a Curling Iron that helps your hair stay curled? This one does the trick.

  4. Wet Hair Brush– The brush you have to use on damp hair to prevent damage. and untangle hair with easy LOVE

  5. Hair scrunches– Perfect for protecting your hair at night from damage. It also works great for a top knot to add bulk and create a bigger bun. 

  6. Dry Shampoo– Dry Bar Dry shampoo is my all-time favorite. It smells incredible and works to give your hair a fresh look without feeling gummy. The original is excellent for blonds. If you’re a brunette, get the dry shampoo for brunettes, as the original can leave a white residue. This also acts a little bit like a texture spray. 

  7. Kendra Hair Spray– I have finally found a hair spray that genuinely works on my silk straight hair to help hold a curl. It’s worth every penny. 

  8. Hair Bands-These little clear hair ties are great for braids. Also, bubble hair do’s and half-up hair styling. I also love these to wrap up my holiday ribbons and keep cords wound up. 

  9. Navy Texturing Spray-I didn’t start using a texturing spray until a couple of years ago, not realizing this also helps with the body and does work to help keep your hair to hold a style. For me, it helps my hair to hold a curl. I have to do a lot to help my natural silky straight hair! In my book, it’s a must-have product.

I have chosen to share with you the 7 Items you need to update your Summer Wardrobe on the segment! Of course, it’s always great to use what you have and “shop your closet,” but adding a few pieces to “freshen up your Summer wardrobe” can be affordable and give your wardrobe a minor update.

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.

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

Strapless Dress with Ruffled Hem

4 Summer Dresses From Amazon Any Age Could Wear

Little black strapless dress $19.99. I love a good strapless dress. Strapless dresses are easy to throw on over a swimsuit, and you can quickly wear them from the pool to lunch. This dress is a touch see-thru, so I wore a little slip underneath; not necessary if you wear it for a swimsuit cover-up. 

I’ve styled it to wear on a little afternoon date with my hubby—a denim jacket with pearl details for a little more dressed-up feel. I finished off the look with black quilted slides (old). I linked similar HERE. These pearl slides would be adorable, pearl hoop earrings, More affordable hoops here, and a Victoria Emerson cuff.

—It’s no secret I love bread and butter with a pin —It’s no secret I love bread and butter with a pinch of French flaky salt-

Let me tell you, @bonruebakery
Does it right✔️

They Started with a baguette….🥖 and grew to a full French Bakery … serving beloved French pastry’s, breads and delicious sandwiches and salads.

Using the best French ingredients- Down to the delish French milk chocolate for their chocolate croissants 🥐 

Ben and I had the pleasure of attending a fun “French flea market” pre-opening event. To preview and sample the menu.

We made it a Date-night, with incorporating a beautiful scenic Fall🍂Drive to attend this fun event. Perfect evening🖤

Gorgeous drive, yummy food, great music and amazing local vendors- from local honey and jams, delicious olive oil & vinegars, beautiful flowers, and handmade cards. 

Thank you @bonruebakery for hosting us, for a little touch of Paris in the heart of Provo,Ut.

Stay tuned for @bonruebakery opening in more locations in Utah .

Meanwhile TODAY October, 10th is the grand opening of their Provo location 

Located across the street from BYU…

Do you have a small grandchild or baby? This is Do you have a small grandchild or baby?

This  is a fun and easy project
To capture their small foot print forever 🖤

Turning those tootsies into a spooky little treasure to cherish for Falls to come.

Make on for yourself and one for the parents😉

You’ll need:

-A fun nature print or vintage barn canvas… Something that looks like fall without being Halloween.

-I found a barn canvas at vintage market days and I found a fun print I could frame for my DIL.. Search vintage shops, goodwill and even the big box shops have affordable framed canvas, that could work

- Washable white paint , I used

-Med size foam brush 
-Paper plate

I put little man in the high chair with a snack and painted one foot at a time, lifted him out and pressed foot on canvas. 

Remeber to have artwork upside down, so the toes will be the bottom of the ghost on the Art. 

I then placed him in the chair again, did the other foot and repeated with the other foot. 
Pressing this foot a little higher than the other..

Making it look like two little ghost flying:)👻👻👻

-When dry 

- With a black sharpie pen put two dots on the heels of the foot print🖤

Enjoy….

Do you like little seasonal projects? Or projects you can do with your grandbaby?
