Recap of Last Weeks Instagram Talks & Outfits

That SMILE you get when you go to the DENTIST 😁🦷
I know I know, some of you dread the dentist! I am telling you if you visit @drallanthomas you won’t dread the dentist and you’ll leave with the best smile!
If you watch my Instagram stories you would have seen my whitening experience (saved in highlights) No more blue lights, they use the latest technology not painful and the sweetest & knowledgeable staff. I had my teeth cleaned & then whitened. This was my first time having my teeth professionally whitened as I am lucky to have pretty white teeth. Even still I wanted them bright white and sparkly since I have my photos taken so often. Like I have always said”a smile can make someone’s day so do it often!” (so I’ll blind them with mine! Goals🙌🏻)………@drallanthomas office specializes in cosmetics dentistry giving you the smile of your dreams🦷😁

This is how I do squats 😜💪🏻
.
Playing with stripes and tied front pants is how it’s done🙌🏻
Warning… this is probably the only time you’ll see me doing squats 😜😜😜 Happy Wednesday babes😘 It #pioneerday today in Utah which means Holiday🎉🎉🎉 State Holiday which means day off and headed to the Lake with all my girlfriends! Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday ♥️🍹🚤
Enjoy your day😘😘😘 Outfit from Banana republic

Starting of this Monday with a 2nd cup ☕️☕️ of @cafe504coffee ☕️☕️☕️#ad
@cafe504coffee found coffee tasted much better when they brewed it with Fiji water, and it turns out it’s the minerals in the water that make all the difference. They infused those same minerals directly with their coffee beans, and they’ve been stunned by how it effects the final cup. It’s a significantly smoother and richer cup of coffee, as if you brewed it with the world’s finest water!☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
They’ve crafted customized mineral blends to perfect your brewing water, based on where you live and how you filter it.
BOY I have to agree we got the French roast at it’s delicious! If your wanting a great cup of coffee from home head over to @cafe504coffee And grab yourself k-cups,ground coffee or beans. BETTER yet GRAB a FREE Bag By…..
Taking the quiz on their site and get a completely FREE BAG when you use the code DARCYFREE at checkout! Free shipping too! You can easily cancel the subscription at anytime, but trust me, you won’t want to. The coffee is amazing!

IT’S 5 O’CLOCK SOMEWHERE 🍹RIGHT?
One of the things I love about Summers is Outdoor living✔️☀️🍓🍹🍔🥗🧀🍉
Do you enjoy outside living? Have you created a space you love to go relax in, entertain or have a quiet date night in?
.
.
I created this space to have a little of the inside brought out💛💛I adore black and white stripes and I think it pops with a touch of yellow and green! Tips for making your outdoor space inviting: throw pillows, a blanket for chilly nights, pots of flowers and plants, trays for serving and keeping things tidy. I love rugs to add color and define spaces, candles and lanterns for lighting (and keeping bugs away) I love some books or magazines to entice you to stay awhile 💛💛💛
Another big tip is if you furniture is mix & match spray paint it all 1 color to give it a cohesive look. It instantly makes it look more planned 😉

I hope you like the random recap of what happened over on last weeks Instagram. I know a lot of you had to DM me about missing a post on instagram because they only show 3% of our photos in our feeds. A trick to seeing people you follow posts: like the post and if you care to leave a comment do it! This will help their content stay in your feed. Another tip is watch their stories the more you interact with the people you follow allows instagram to know you want to see that person. Another big plus, engaging on Instagram really helps us bloggers do what we love and bring you content you want to see. If you want to see a weekly recap HERE on the blog leave a comment or DM me so I can continue to give you what you want to see!

Another plus to seeing a week in review is you get a taste of everything from fashion, items I am loving, interior tips or a space I love and things to do in Utah unless I was traveling.

Have a beautiful week! OX, D’Arcy

My Smile Journey With Smile Direct Club

Smile Direct impression kit. From the impression,Smile Direct generates 3d model of your teeth to begin building your smile.

Smile Direct Aligner molding kit.

Smile Direct at home kit!
Invisible aligner kit with 5 months of aligners.

Invisible Aligner tray’s and holder.

I couldn’t be happier to start my smile journey with Smile Direct Club. I never wore braces and was always lucky to have naturally straight teeth. As I have aged my two top teeth have turned in a touch and my one bottom tooth has moved back. Most people wouldn’t notice, but it’s been bugging me for the last couple years and I really didn’t want to do the whole braces thing at 46! I looked into other invisible liner companies and it was so expensive, I decided to hold off. Then to my delight, Smile Direct contacted me and said I’d be a great candidate for their invisible aligners and would I want to work with them! YES….Yes please! So you could see why, I couldn’t be happier!

I started the processes about 2 1/2 months ago, without the hassle of appointments and metal braces, my impression kit arrived in the mail. It was so easy to take the impressions and send the molds back to Smile Direct in the pre-paid box. A couple weeks later my invisible aligner box set arrived. I say “box set” because it came with everything you need for 5 months to have a straighter smile, all in 1 box! This kit is so easy, everything is labeled, organized and they even send you a reminder email on the day you need to changed your aligner. You change your aligner’s monthly and wear a new one on week 1 & 2 then week 3 & 4 you wear the same one, until you start a new month.

I am already noticing a big difference two and half months in. My top teeth have become not as angled and my bottom tooth has really moved forward. I can’t wait to share with you my end results, in about 3 months.

Just a little note: I haven’t experienced any pain in this process, yet my teeth feel a little strange, sometimes and I have been told this is normal.

Do you need a little help with you teeth and want to have a confident smile? Smile Direct is affordable and even more affordable if you use my code.

I hope you have a beautiful weekend! 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!

Misfit Shine 2 Fitness & Sleep Monitor

Hello Beautiful’s,

Activewear is still strong and making big trends in 2018. I am loving this brand Sentia

With life being busy and many liking the minimalist trend it’s nice to get multiple uses out of items in our closet. That doesn’t stop in active wear, ONE of the big trends in active wear is having piece’s that will take you from the studio to the street with ease.

It’s all in the detail’s….Cute cutouts, great fabrics that fit well yet have special details. Sentia is a company owned by sister’s and ran by all woman, they understand what woman want and the attention to detail in their sportswear line shows.

Leggings with mesh details add style yet breathable and add that Fashionable detail you can wear with a cute sweater perfect for the street. You can wear sneakers or your Ugg boots. Cute cut out tee’s and mixed fabrics make a work out shirt perfect to pair with jeans. I’ve been living in my easy cardigan, just enough to keep me warm after a workout and cute enough to layered over my favorite rocker tee’s for running errands or heading to the movies.

Love your Melon

Knit beanies have been all the rage for a couple of years NOW. Who doesn’t love a super soft beanie or headband to keep your head warm or wear on a bad hair day! What I love even more then super soft beanie is a product that gives back. Love Your Melon worked to develop a beanie that is soft enough for children battling cancer. Fifty percent (50%) of profit from the sale of all Love Your Melon products is given to Love Your Melon’s nonprofit partners in the fight against pediatric cancer. Their nonprofit partners work in the field of pediatric oncology, fund cancer research initiatives and provide immediate support for families of children battling cancer. All of their products are made in the United States of America.

Now taking that beanie from working out to the street comes with ease, their too cute to wear just to work out it! I have been wearing mine all Winter from outside work outs to Casual date nights. So soft you’ll want several colors.
