Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes

Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes!Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes

My favorite time of the year is finally here- Though admittedly, I’ve been decorating for the holidays since the beginning of November. (Annual Holiday Home Tour is Saturday on Instagram) Don’t worry, and I’ll be adding Decor ideas and this year’s Holiday Decor look HERE on the blog Sunday!

Our Chit Chat Chic Girls had a fun chat yesterday about some random holiday items, and we thought that would make for a great blog post. Quick & easy to read with some fun get to know us Holiday items. Do you do a red lip or red nails? A cookie swap? Have a favorite dish you take on repeat? Are you ready for the Holiday, or have you finished Christmas shopping? Do you host a party? Typical questions you ask your girlfriends, and that’s what we all are, right? Girlfriends… So join us in sharing our conversation. All of us answered the questions on TODAY’S blog post…I hope you enjoy the conversation! (make sure to check out Cindy, Lisa, Michelle’s  blogs today.) 

Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes

Let’s get to the Christmas Chic Chat…

1. Do I do a Red Lip? I have tried it, and I look like a hooker!! But I have friends, and my sister sport a red lip and looks fab. So, one Red that did work for me is by Tom Ford that I can pull off with my big lips that look good, and I wear it only this time of the year and in February.

 

 

2. Do I wear Red or Holiday Nails? I sure do love a good Red with Blue undertones, not orange. However, I love Holiday Nails as well. In November, I started sporting Red Nails, and I just had a Holiday manicure done on Monday!

 

Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes

3. Are you done with your Shopping? Yes, Yes… I am!

4. Do you Host a Holiday Party? I host a small girlfriend’s party year every year. A sit-down dinner, yummy drinks, and everyone bring a “Favorite thing” gift for an exchange. Personally, I like the smaller group to be able to chat, spend time catching up with each other. 

 I threw a BIG Holiday cocktail party every year, and it just got too Big. It was fun, but we’ve moved past those times in our lives and love things scaled-down and spending quality time with those we love on a smaller scale. Hence the tiny Girlfriend Party was born. 

I also Host Christmas Eve, Christmas Morning, and Christmas Dinner! It brings me great joy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. If you do not have anyone to spend it with, you are welcome at our home, As a full house at Christmas is a blessing. 

5. What’s your Favorite “go-to” Christmas Holiday Appetizer? I have made this crescent roll dill cream cheese Appetizer for years, and it comes highly requested! Recipe HERE

easy appetizer to make fast

6. Have you ever hosted a cookie swap? I have not. But I have Hosted a gingerbread house decorating party several times, and it’s an enjoyable party to have. 

7. Favorite Christmas cookie? I love Shortbread my recipe HERE, and I adore German Rasberry thumbprint cookies made by Vera (my mom’s friend and client). These are massive labor of love, and she would make us 3-4 cookies each every year until we moved to Utah. ( My mom has the recipe, and I will get it for you)

Some of my favorite Baking items:

8. Have you purchased a New Piece of clothing you are excited about this season? Really? Who are we talking too:) I am in love with this Sequined Duster, I purchased it in the Fall for the Holiday season, and it is back in stock! It is perfect for dressing up any outfit and great for NYE.

7 Beauty Products I Used Up

7 Beauty Products I Used Up

7 Beauty Products I Used Up

My honest review of the product I’ve used up over the last couple of months. 7 beauty products I have purchased on repeat and worth giving a try.

1. Tula Purifying Face Cleanser = Probiotic gel-based cleanser removes dirt and impurities and makeup gently and effectively. Use morning and night.  I have been using this product for over two years and love how it cleans my face. Not drying and indeed removes all makeup while leaving my skin feeling clean and fresh.  This is a purchase again, in my book product. 

2. Tula 24-7 Moisture= Hydrating day & night cream leaves my skin feeling hydrated without oily. In addition, it helps my dry skin. As I have aged, my skin has gotten dryer and needs this product. I have also been using this product for the last couple of years. I use it in my morning routine. 

3. Tula Balanced Beauty Gummy Vitamins= Probiotics and superfood Gummie vitamins for solid hair, skin & nails. These Berry-flavored gummies taste great, and with Biotin & Folic Acid, I noticed a difference in my hair and skin. This product is my 3rd bottle, and I used it for three months to make sure I was giving it an honest review and to provide the product with a chance to see if it worked as it claimed. I will continue to use it. 

4. Tula So Pumpkin Exfoliating Sugar Scrub= This gentle sugar & fruit enzyme scrub with pumpkin smells amazing, improves skins texture, helps unclog pores, and leaves your skin feeling so soft and radiant. If you love the smell of pumpkin and like smooth, soft skin, you’ll love this product. I highly recommend it. 

5. Loreal Sublime Bronze self-tanning water mousse= A natural-looking tan in 4-6 hours, doesn’t have that yucky self-tanner smell, doesn’t streak, is so easy to use. Affordable and my go-to self-tanner.

6. SeroVital Suddenly Smooth Gentle RetinAll=Anti Wrinkle, visibly lifting cream for mature skin. 2% Retinol Compound Epidermal growth factor. You can use this product day and night if followed with sunscreen. It was gentle enough and not drying like a lot of products that contain Retinol. Although I did like this product for my neck, I did avoid using it on my cheeks, which tend to be dryer. 

7.  Serovital TriHydrate Concentrate= 3% Purified Hyaluronic Acid use Am or Pm before moisturizing. Hyaluronic Acid is an ingredient everyone should use in their skincare.  

HOLIDAY SALE CODES:

Tula= 25% off and EXTRA 15% off with DARCY15 

Serovital = FRIDAY30 for 30% off

Holiday Gift Guides for Her in All Price Points!

Holiday Gift Guides

Holiday gifts for her

It’s that time of year when we start thinking of the Holidays, making our lists and thinking of gifts we would like to give. I took a poll on Instagram, and 60% of my followers had started shopping. With that in mind, I decided to create shopping guides earlier than expected. The first set of guides I have created for Her! Something for every lady on your list at a price point for every budget? Creating gift guides that will help give you inspiration for those extraordinary ladies on your list. Don’t worry. If you have boys and men on your list, those gift guides will be up next week, As I will be creating a gift guide a week to help you through the Holiday gift-giving season. (Make sure to see my daily gift Ideas and deals on Like to know it)

Here are a few tips on how to pull off retro fashion in 2021:

Here are a few tips on how to pull off retro fashion in 2021:

Here are a few tips on how to pull off retro fashion in 2021:

The term “retro” refers to anything that references the past, and we all know the fashion industry loves a good comeback. In fact, fashion stylist Heather Newberger says that clothing trends tend to go through 30-year cycles. For instance, we are now seeing a lot of denim popular in the 90s worn by the latest generation of fashionistas, and it’ll eventually reappear later down the line. So dressing retro is actually always in vogue.

Whether you have a closet to borrow retro items from or you’re working with modern pieces, here are a few tips on how to pull off retro fashion in 2021:

Mix and match colors and prints

The ‘80s were all about bright colors and loud prints, so don’t be afraid to match bright pants with an oversized shirt with a contrasting color. A loose black lace top with a bright mini skirt and neon tights is also an interesting ensemble. But, of course, if you don’t feel brave enough for a loud outfit, you can add some modern pieces instead. Our ‘Tulle at Any Age’ feature shows how you can pair the fabric with denim and patterned heels to dress it down.

Rock retro sneakers

Retro sneakers are classics, and because of how versatile they are, they’re easy to pair with any outfit. In particular, though, retro sneakers give off a laid-back sporty aesthetic. For example, Reebok’s skate-inspired Club C sneakers are a minimalistic pair with a white base and a few green highlights, making them perfect for a casual yet put-together look. Meanwhile, the Nike Daybreak sneakers provide a pop of color with orange and brown. Retro sneakers tend to have muted colors, neutral tones, or minimalistic designs so that you can rock them with any outfit.

Shop some Retro kicks below:

Consider interesting shapes

When thinking about outfit shape and retro-style designs, one image that comes to mind is bell-bottom jeans. In the ‘70s, especially, pants were also hip huggers and high-waisted. They also tended to have designs like embroidery, embellishments, and studs. But, of course, you can also go for some color, such as Alexander McQueen’s mid-rise flared pants or the Rebecca Vallance Amina high-rise flared crepe pants, as the ‘70s was also the time of glam rock and disco fashion. Meanwhile, the ‘50s were all about dresses with soft shapes and defined waists.

Shop some great flares I love below:

Accessorize, accessorize, accessorize

For ‘80s retro-Style, the chunkier and louder, the better. Go crazy with colored bangles, wear your large neon sunglasses, and clip on a pair of statement earrings. The ‘70s have more neutral and natural accessories, such as jewelry made of wood, shells, stones, and feathers. But if you’re going for the disco vibe, then think glitter and anything shiny that will go with your equally sparkly outfit. The ‘60s are a lot calmer with its flower headbands, gypsy scarves, and leather moccasins. Finally, for the ‘50s, use faux fur, gloves, and cat eye-shaped sunglasses.

Give your hair some life.

The common theme with ‘80s hairstyles was that they were big and used a lot of hairsprays. Allure has a list of styles that you might want to try if you’re feeling adventurous, from the simple Whale Spout ponytail to the more daring permed fe-mullet. The ‘70s hairstyles were either feathered and messy or parted in the middle. The ‘60s had the most relaxed hairstyles, with hair usually just hanging loose. In the ‘50s, it was all about looking proper. So you can either tightly curl your short hair or make a bouncy ponytail or do the curled and pinned hairstyle for long hair, as long as you put on a lot of hairspray afterward.

At the end of the day, there’s no right way to wear retro-style fashion. After all, fashion is all about self-expression, and pulling ideas from the previous decades adds your own dynamic spin to retro fashion.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed today’s read!

I had a mom who taught and shared her love of hospitality, creativity and “grandma hobbies” way before I could fall in love with Martha Stewart as a young teenager in the 80’s..

Not only did I want 17 magazine & vogue, I wanted Martha steward living, better homes and garden, Ina Gardens cook books, and anything made by Ralph Lauren .

I got my real first job at 15 (so I could buy (RL) at the cutest home decor and interiors shop, owned by the most creative and talented lady (Susie), who gave me my love of wallpaper, and playing with pretty things… I was doing her window displays at both her shops by 16… 

🌸So, I guess you could say … yes, I Skipped the midlife crisis, and  I’ve been doing “Grandma Hobbies”  my whole life!
