Have you noticed your social media feed, office, or local coffee shop filling up with women dressed in red today – International Women’s Day. A  movement encouraging women to wear red to show their solidarity with the movement “The day without woman”  normally International woman’s day is represented with color’s of White, green & purple. But red is taken over to call attention to what it would be like without woman for one day. Read more here.

International Women’s Day is a worldwide event that celebrates women’s achievements – from the political to the social – while calling for gender equality. It has been observed since the early 1900s and is now recognized each year on March 8. 

It is not affiliated with any one group, but brings together governments, women’s organizations, corporations and charities. The day is marked around the world with arts performances, talks, rallies, networking events, conferences and marches.

“A strong call to #PressforProgress.  A strong call to motivate and unite friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.” Read more Here

Trending Hash tags
#metoo  =The hashtag is in support of all women who have been sexually harassed by someone.
#timesup =Legal Defense Fund provides subsidized legal support to those who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace. TIME’S UP.
#pressforprogress = A strong call to motivate and unite friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive in the work place.
#adaywithoutawoman =The goal is to highlight the economic power and significance that women have in the US and global economies, while calling attention to the economic injustices women and gender nonconforming people continue to face.  We play an indispensable role in the daily functions of life in all of society, through paid & unpaid, seen & unseen labor.
#BeBoldForChange = IWD campaign theme to rally for equal pay, created by the USA woman’s hockey team.
 
To help make a difference it’s great to support Woman owned business and purchase products that give back to the cause. Slogan tee’s, Mugs and Journal’s are just a few of the items I have been seeing.  Here’s a few of my favorite’s
Brunette The Label 
Cutest tee’s and mugs
10 products to support Woman’s day
One of my favorite quotes to celebrate woman….
“A woman is like a tea bag, you never know how strong she is until she’s in hot water!” Eleanor Roosevelt 
20+ Powerful Quotes to celebrate woman Here
 
Take time today to thank the woman in your life and maybe grab some lunch to celebrate “girl power” with a girlfriend. I am excited to say I will be spending the day with one of my long time girlfriend’s Meagan and we have some fun things in store after my tv segment  Lunch, a Fashion show at Anthropologie and a night in Salt lake city.
It’s so important to have good girlfriends they make a great support team and even more important to spend some girl time with them…A little time away from your your family I believe makes you a better mom and wife. A little time for yourself is a much needed little break and what better way then with a good girlfriend! 
So I hope you take sometime out for yourself today (even if it’s a bath)! OX, D’Arcy

Happy Tuesday Beautiful’s,

Looks like we’re finally getting Winter in Utah! Just in time for me to share with you Winter boot’s that are trending for 2018 and a sneak peek at a couple of 2019’s trends.

I was lucky enough to work with Diamond Peak Mountain Sports in Eden to bring you this fun collection of 2018-2019 Winter snow boots by Sorel and The North Face. I love supporting local and small business they always have fun and unique items you won’t alway’s find at big box stores. The customer service and attention to detail at this fun Sport shop is amazing and is just one of the reasons this little shop is celebrating 25 years in business.

Winter snow boots have come along way over the years, not just functionable they’re fashionable too. Waterproof, lined to keep your feet warm but have style you can wear with any street outfit. Above you will find some of my favorite picks from 2018 and a couple from the 2019 collection.  Getting a peek at 2019 collection is a special treat as these are not in stores yet these are samples of what the shops are getting to see and order for their next Winter season.

Can I tell you I am loving the Joanie lace, A wedge snow boot perfect for a snowy night on the town! Who would every think this was a Sorel snow boot? I love the fashion and Functionality of this cute little boot. (I’ll be pre-ordering a pair!)

Every little girl will want the Shades of pink mini Joan of arch Sorel boot coming out next winter. I predict this little number will sell out fast when it hits the sales floor. 

 The Cozy Joan, Winter Fancy Lace, Woman’s Shellista and Thermoball are all a great mid Ankle snow boot perfect for after skiing, walking around in snowy weather yet can be perfect with jeans and a sweater on a chilly day. Waterproof and cozy warm you’re feet will love you. Gone are the days of Chunky unfashionable not to mention ugly Snow boots. (1989 white snow cats by Sorel comes to mind) I know I am showing my age. 

The Slimpack Riding Tall II Sorel boot is one of my favorite boots in Sorel’s line. Simple yet sleek! At first you don’t even realize this is a snow boot. It looks just like a chic riding boot! Slim & tall with cute 2 buckle back detail, this functional boot can be worn all winter long with any street outfit, yet can be dressed up for a date night out in the cold! Waterproof so it’s perfect for rain and sleet, this stylish boot isn’t just for the snow.

All of the 2018 boots are available at Diamond Peak NOW and 2019 are available for pre-order Click on link or call (801) 745-0101 ask for Lori she’ll help you out.

Today On Fox13 The place, I will be sharing more about these boots so make sure to watch at 1:00 mnt. time.  I will share the link later today in case you miss it!

Have a wonderful snowy day! OX, D’Arcy

I am all about A Granny Summer… This COCO has bee I am all about A Granny Summer…

This COCO has been gardening what feels like my whole life, my mom loved gardening and her English gardens were beautiful, her tomatoes and herbs always yummy;) she taught me what each flower & veggies types were and how to grow & care for them etc. 

She would teach our boys “how to smell”  not really, but she would walk them around had have them smell each flower and how they smelt differently.. they’re puffing noses were so cute❤️

Gardening has always been apart of my life , every home, it was fun to rebuild and create… Try new things, depending on the land etc. it’s hard work, yet relaxing and so rewarding…. 

Over the years, I taught myself how to seed my flowers and veggies, what I could dry and harvest, how to can, what I liked to bake with, and  what freezes well. 

I would teach our boys, have them help pick apples and berries, take them to garden shops and have them pick favorites and let them plant, they would dig and help pull weeds… 

Gardening isn’t just for Grannies… it’s a hobby or career you can pick up at any age, but I have to say,  I can’t wait to take our NEW Grandson out to the gardens and learn, dig and plant…. He’s only 6 months and we already know he loves nature, and he loves plants.. he’s at peace in nature and loves to touch all the different plants and trees… he  loves the leaves slightly blowing in the breeze…. He’ll just stare, It’s so cute! 

With age, I do enjoy it more, as I enjoy the slower moments and the time gardening takes…

How about you? How do you feel about gardening?🌱🪴🌻🫛🪏🏡🧑‍🌾🫜⛲️

Utah peeps…. If you’ve been to New York… then you’ Utah peeps…. If you’ve been to New York… then you’ve probably heard of @finipizza …
New York’s favorite pizza spots just opened in Utah! 

They literally have a cult following, and are most know for their Lemon & White sauce pizza 🍋🍕 
But let me tell you, if you’ve love NYC pizza, and want to fold a slice to eat it… your going to love Fini’s 

Ben & I had the opportunity to check out a preview from the NEW menu and everything was delicious. 

We also had the chance to make our own pizzas. It was such a fun activity, for a date night.

I am picky about my pizza’s dough, and they make their dough in house fresh daily with fresh ingredients,  and even better imported cheese 🍕quality you can taste. 

Fini’s just opened in Utah City (Vineyard) 

The Cafe severs NY Style coffees and cappuccinos, bagels  and smear, fresh baked, baked goods (the lemon poppyseed olive oil cake is delicious and sell a verity of NY favorite specialty grocery items and candies.

They be adding Sunday style dinners a couple nights a week, including their pasta, sandwiches, steaks  and salads 

A must… to finish off your meal, is a must try gelato fresh made daily 🍋🍋‍🟩

🍕Save this post … for a place you’ll want to eat…

We can’t wait to go back, and take our family… they’re going to love it..

Tip: if you’ve live in Northern Utah, it’s worth the drive and you can take a beautiful drive down Provo canyon…

I bet you won’t believe me!! Guess where I found I bet you won’t believe me!!

Guess where I found these Darling Lemon Plates?🍋

Would you believe the Dollar Store for $1.50 each…

They had matching dinner plates, bowls and mugs… But Honestly…

A Great TIP is just to buy the Salad plates… Having an assortment of Themed or decorative salad plates can really change up your regular china for the seasons..

It’s an affordable tip that goes a long way, if you have A solid color china.

Plus a salad plate could also be used for a bread or dessert plate. 

I also like a little salad plate to serve a little breakfast muffin, bagel or croissant on…. 

You know I am a big advocate of romanticizing your everyday life and have a mixture of seasonal, yet affordable dishes can do just that…Don’t save your good china for “that” special occasion…. Use it daily❤️
