10 Summer Favorites to Kick off Summer

You know I am a HAT girl, and these are the ones I purchased this year. Each one provides great protection for your face and looks great with All your Suits & Summer outfits.
SUN TEA is no secret. I am a BIG Ice Tea drinker, Nothing better on the Hot days of Summer than to cool off with a Tall glass of SUN TEA. How I make mine: 4 -5 Lipton tea bags, a glass jar (I have a large Ball Jar HERE) fill with warm water, add bags, and set out in the sun in the mornings. By afternoon it’s the perfect Dark color I love… Grab a tall glass, add ice & pour. ( you can add mint or lemon 🍋)

WATERMELON and YES I salt mine…. Yum yum yum

TIP: For picking the perfect Watermelon, look for one with a large yellow spot and what looks like scratch marks. The yellow means it stayed on the vine to get ripe, and the stretches are really bee stings (meaning it’s sweet). BEST watermelon cutting Knife HERE

9. SUN DRESSES Summer dress styles are easy to wear, lightweight, easy to pack, and super easy to style. (Below is one I’ve been wearing on repeat) Shop it HERE.

Let me tell you… if you don’t have Havaianas Flip flops, you’re missing out. (not joking; I own at least 20 pairs, Got my Mama hooked too) Very very comfortable, not like any flip flop you’ve ever put on. Last for years, come in so many fun colors and designs. Made in Brazil. This was the shoe that saved me when I had Plantar Fasciitis. Trust me, worth paying a little more than your average flip flop. Range $28-35

11 Bridal Shower Gifts for the Bride, She’ll Absolutely Love!

Personal Bridal Shower Gifts

Looking for a unique Bridal shower gift? While I recommend sticking to the registry for wedding gifts, a bridal shower is a perfect opportunity to gift something a bit more personal. It’s also a chance to give the Bride something that can be used on the actual wedding day, honeymoon, or beyond.

Consider the bride’s personal traits and hobbies when selecting a gift. Does the bride like to cook, Has a hobby, entertain or travel? It’s fun for the bride-to-be to be surprised by a unique gift that she might not think of for herself. (I love giving an outfit for the Honeymoon) Whether the gift is useful or indulgent, she’ll surely appreciate the sentiment behind it.

The Pj’s above would make for a darling shower gift for the bride or a perfect gift for the bridesmaids. Throwing a Bridal Shower or bridal brunch? How cute would the color scheme be, using the pj’s as color inspo? “Tiffany blue” Such a cute shower inspo. (the mug is a Tiffany & co. China cup) HERE

Shop to Post :

A Bridal Shower is a Time to Spoil the bride.

While it’s wonderful to select something from the couple’s register for a bridal shower gift, it’s also a great opportunity to gift the bride something special. Personalized gifts (like the cheese board above), pretty lingerie, jewelry, a beautiful candle to burn as she gets ready on her day, and a Custom top are all thoughtful presents that put the spotlight on her.

Shop to Post:

Molton Brown, a beauty line and a complete splurg. This is a gift she’ll love and will look beautiful on any bathroom counter. I purchase mine through Skin Store

What to Wear to A Bridal Shower

Depending on where the bridal shower is, and the time of day, it depends on what you should wear. Is it in the garden, at a restaurant, at an event center? This is to be considered while planning your outfit. I choose 9 dresses that could work for any Bridal Shower. From a Bridal Brunch, a Romantic Garden Party, a luncheon, or Summer night dinner. There is a Dress above that would be appropriate.

Shop the post:

How to know How much to Spend on the Bridal Gift

Since the bridal shower is a little more casual than the wedding, the price range is also more flexible. Spending between $30-$80 on a gift (on the lower end if you are not particularly close to the bride and higher if she is a good friend or family member). Is a normal budget. You could also join in with a friend or family member to purchase a larger gift.

This week over on Instagram, I’ll share All things Bridal Shower, From Outfit inspiration, gift wrapping ideas, a must-have tool, party ideas, and a couple of recipes. And heading on a trip and taking you with me for a real-life bridal shower. Make sure to be watching stories! Have a Beautiful week.

Make sure to stop by my Chit Chat Chic girlfriend’s blogs TODAY to see what’s on their Gift Guides. Graduation, Father’s Day, and Wedding the themes.

Father’s Day Gift Guide: Ideas He’ll Love!

June marks the beginning of summer to most and Father’s Day in a few short weeks. This year {June 20th!} I like to get an early start on those gifts for him. Men {at least in my case} can be tricky to shop for when they give no requests, but focusing gifts around their needs, hobbies, and daily moments is always a well-loved option. A few ideas to consider:

Above I showcased some of the items I know my hubby would love. Veldskoen shoes, a Handcock Gourmet Lobster dinner from Gift Tree. (they have several types of meals and food baskets ship direct.) Most men I know love food and make for a thoughtful gift.

Clothing always makes for a great gift, as I’ve learned most men don’t like to shop, let alone buy clothes.

A beautiful and Handmade throw by Thula Tula. So very soft, easy to care for, and is a gift that gives back. Sustainably handcrafted with love in South Africa. I choose the Xhosa blanket above, textiles inspired by African culture. It can be used as a blanket, throw, or wrap. I personally love it’s a mini work of art. The men in my life love a soft throw for sitting on the deck on a summer evening or while watching tv. Save 15% off with code darcy15 HERE.

McCrea’s caramels are always a hit, and their gift boxes are beautiful. Here are some of our favorite flavors. Single Malt Scotch and Black Lava Sea Salt caramel. (Both included in the Father’s Day gift box!)

You can focus on dad’s Hobby’s, career, things he loves, or sports he enjoys. My hubby is a contractor and a ski coach, which means dry, chapped hands, always in need of tools, and loves Ski items. This opens a lot of doors for thoughtful gifts. From practical items like hand balms, travel mug, or water jug to ski socks and cool readers

Or searching for a thoughtful gift, A cool coffee table book on Ski resorts, or something bigger like a hotel stay and lift ticket to a resort he doesn’t have a pass for. (or even a massage because he abuses his body!) You get the idea:) Does your dad love gadgets? What about Grilling? Below you’ll find some other fun options most men would love.

Shop the post:

I had the opportunity to work with Veldskoen Shoes for our boys, and they loved them so much they thought Dad needed a pair.

@veldskoenshoesusa handcrafted with locally sourced, premium materials with stay-dry technical leather that repels water and super easy to clean. So comfortable they melt to your feet. Handcrafted by Artists in South Africa. save 15% off with code darcy15 ❤️

What’s so fun is the shoe comes with different color soles and laces. H got grey, Hamps got black, and they picked orange for dad!

My week over on Instagram focuses on Father’s Day, Gift Giving guides, how to celebrate, and some fun ideas around dad. I hope you are tuning in over there, as I think you’ll enjoy what I am sharing. I even have a fun DIY. HERE

Class of 2021, Unisex Gifts for the Graduate!

Congratulations to the Class of 2021. We have our own graduate in the house and are excited to share some gifts he’d approve of. This is such an important time in the graduate’s life and for the parents as well. Starting a new chapter in life, whether the graduate is headed off to live in college dorms, move out on their own or live at home while attending school or starting a career. Even some great ideas if they’re headed on a senior trip! Therefore I picked gifts that any graduate could use no matter their next steps.

A proud mom of a class of 2021 graduate had to show off below a few Senior photos and announcements. This week over on Instagram is a week full of all things Graduation. From celebration Ideas, what to wear to celebrate, and a couple of proud mom moments. Here’s a sneak peek HERE and HERE.

I adore this photo! It makes this mama’s heart soar! I snapped this photo of Hampton right before they called his name to the stage. I think it captures the happiness he’s feeling in his eyes. We’re so proud of what this boy has overcome to get here.

Congratulation to the graduate and to the parents who raised them! Good luck to the class of 2021, and may you enjoy the upcoming moments and celebrations. To those needing gift ideas to celebrate those graduates, here are my picks below and even Hampton approved!

Class of 2021, Unisex Gifts for the Graduate!

Shop to post:

The gifts above are perfect for a college bond student, a traveling student, and a career-bound adult. Everyone needs good sheets, an extra charger and a cozy robe (yes, it’s unisex and oh so cozy) A cozy blanket to keep them warm while studying. Organizing is a must once (adulting hard work). Travel cubes are wonderful for keeping items organized and saving space. A toiletry bag is perfect for travel yet essential for dorm living—a Yeti mug to keep that coffee warm for long studying nights. I don’t know a single graduate who wouldn’t want an Apple watch.

Shop the Post:

The above list has a couple of personal items and some fun ideas, and one special gift for the girl on your list. (although all the items are unisex, even the scarf) I know my graduate would love these items.

Because our family loves satin pillowcases, the boys included! I thought it would serve as a great gift to others. A cozy scarf is always a thoughtful gift; a mug and mug warmer comes in many colors. And a great backpack is a must to carry all those learning materials and studying tools:) another great option for a throw; everybody wants something cozy while studying. Because staying hydrated is essential, a water bottle is so important and a great gift option. Kiehl’s lotion is a splurge and an extraordinary gift that they wouldn’t buy for themselves. An extra set of crisp white towels because you can never have enough towels.

Hoping I inspired you to purchase something practical& thoughtful for your Graduate! Congratulations to your graduate as well.

That is what she will love the most.

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

9 Things You Needed For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

Let’s talk about fitness

Let’s talk about fitness; not something I talk a lot about. Fitness isn’t something I talk about because, well… I don’t love it! However, s I get older, staying active is even more critical. 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 trying hard to do it. Adding these in more frequently 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.

Exercise I do like

I 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.

I know how important it is to keep your flexibility and muscle mass up. This year, I am making a better attempt to add some strength training, a kettlebell, and more yoga and pilates. Adding meditation is 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 things I love and use now.

9 Things You’ll love

Lulu lemon sports bra= I love the soft fabric and support.
Lulu Lemon Legging= I love it comes in 3 lengths (I need the longest). Firstly, these are not see-through like some of the Lululemons I’ve had before. Instead, the fabric is butter soft and holds you in.
Yoga mat= I love everything about this mat, the feel, the comfort, and the design.
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.
Water bottle= I love the timelines marked to keep me on track. Drinking a lot of water daily has always been important to me, and this helps.
Kettelbell= 10 pounds, not a ton of weight, but it gives you a good workout.
Meditation cushion= perfect for that quiet time. I love the look and comfort.
Collagen powder= is So essential for your joints and benefits your hair, nails, and skin.
Walking shoes= are so affordable and comfortable. I love the style and comfort.

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

Yoga is excellent 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 only need 10-15 min daily. Meditation HERE

Also happy to share my blogging Friends with you today. Please hop over to their blogs to see ways they get into fitness!
