Tips to help you create a Holiday Capsule 

TIP #1: You can easily create your own Holiday Capsule wardrobe, by going through your closet and seeing what could work to be festive… and start your rack. Then you can easily create looks with what you’ve put together.

Fabrics of the season satins, velvets, sequins, faux fur, tartan plaids, Pearl detail, and faux leather.

Colors of the season Shades of Red, green, Ivory, metallic, and black.  Even Navy’s & Pinks💕

Don’t forget to Pull out your festive jewelry, bags, and shoes.

These tips also make it easier to know what you might need to shop for. (A great pair of trousers or a festive sweater.) You get my drift.

Tip #2 make sure everything you pulled fits✔️ nothing worse than thinking you have an outfit planned and then something doesn’t fit correctly.

Tip #3 Make sure your@hair do goes with your Outfit… The hair and makeup are the finishing details and finish off the look. 

High neck or detail wear hair up, stunning statement earrings a chic low ponytail or low bun. bare shoulders hair down or 1/2 up. These are just a few hairdo ideas.

Friday Favorites And Weekend Sales #13

Friday Favorites And Weekend Sales #13

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Where did October go? I think that was the fastest month ever. November is another crazy month that flies by and I can’t believe we are now 7 weeks away from Christmas. I am in full Christmas mode, not that I want to skip Thanksgiving, but because I love to enjoy the month of December. So, I take November to do all my Holiday prep. This way I can enjoy the season and spend time with family and friends without all the pressure that we moms have. 

I have found over the years prepping and preparing has really helped me enjoy all the things I love about the Holiday season. We can enjoy a decorated home, entertain guests with ease, have PJs & Christmas movie days in front of the fire, bake Christmas treats, Go to Holiday parties, Head to the Mall to just window shop & take in the hustle and bustle of the Holiday, and have a Holiday date night, see a Christmas program, and drive around to see Christmas lights without the ” To Do List” haunting my brain. 

 I love to cook for our friends and family and will be hosting Thanksgiving like most years, and my goal every year is to be ready for Christmas by Thanksgiving. I am off to a great start. I’ll be sharing my progress here and on Instagram stories.

Friday Favorites and Weekend Sales #10

Friday Favorites and Weekend Sales #10

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Friday! I hope you have something fun planned for the weekend. It’s beautiful here in Utah, and I am looking forward to a fall foliage drive with my hubby and lunch out. I am now one week and two days post-operation and a little tired of being at Home. The little outing will do me some good.

Other than that, I feel better every day and must remind myself that I can’t do everything I am used to. As I am sure you are aware, we moms go go go and do do do, and we do have to take the time to heal when we have something wrong with our health. Slowing down and taking the time you need to heal is okay. I keep reminding myself of this daily.

Today’s Friday Favorite: I share five things I have loved and used several times during the week, including some items that make me happy. Do you have some things you use daily that make you happy? Sometimes, it’s just the little things.

Today’s Friday favorite’s

5 Favorite’s

–Ribbed knit set–  A Two-piece outfit set is perfect for daily wear, so cute worn with a blazer, denim jacket, or plaid shirt. It comes in several colors and fits true to size. 

–Buxom Lip gloss -Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Cream Gloss is a creamy, shimmer-free lip gloss that visibly plumps the appearance of lips with a tantalizing tingle.

–Travel case makeup large Capacity Travel Cosmetic Bag for Women, Makeup Bag Travelling PU Leather Cosmetic Bag Waterproof, Multifunctional Storage Travel Toiletry Bag Skincare Bag 

–Stanley Tumbler-Stanley’s Deco Collection Quenchers are here to turn up the joy all year round. Decadent in gloss color finishes with bold, gilded accents, this collection reimagines the glamorous deco days.  

 –Cassorole Dish– Made of textured stoneware in a choice of finishes, our round pumpkin-shaped casserole baker includes a lid with a gold-finished stem handle. Available in harvest orange and elegant white colors, this covered casserole heats evenly without hot spots and retains moisture well for excellent roasting and baking. Its two handles make it perfect for oven-to-table presentations of your favorite fall recipes.

Chicken Bolognese and Burrata Cheese Pasta Recipe

Chicken Bolognese and Burrata Cheese Pasta Recipe

Hello pretty ladies, 

I hope you had a great week and a fun kick-off to summer. I’ve been trying to get caught up from my last two back-to-back trips, and I am excited to continue to share some of the fun travel adventures and outfit inspirations with you. I’ll do future blog posts with recaps and vacation details soon. I’ve shared some fun Reels, outfits, and stories on Instagram. 

Last week I shared in stories my Chicken Bolognese with Burrata cheese Pasta Recipe in stories and had so many of you want it in writing versus a show and tell in stories. It’s one of my hubby’s favorite pasta dishes and is so good and easy to make. You could whip it up in under 30 minutes, but the longer it simmers, the better it tastes. I’d love for you to let me know in the comments if you make this recipe. 

Chicken Bolognese and Burrata Cheese Pasta Recipe

Chicken Bolognese Recipe

1 pound ground chicken

One onion white or yellow chopped

1 28oz Cento crushed tomatoes

1 14.5oz can diced tomatoes

EVOO to coat the pan

Two tablespoons of Italian seasoning

One teaspoon of Johnny’s garlic season

1 to two tablespoons of fresh garlic 

1/2 cup chopped fresh basil

One tablespoon of kitchen bouquet browning seasoning

One tablespoon of dried chopped onion

One bay leaves 

One teaspoon of dried basil 

One teaspoon of garlic salt

One container of Burrata Cheese

Heat a large saucepan, add olive oil, and ground chicken. Chop up the ground chicken; I love this chopper. Once golden brown, add a kitchen bouquet and stir until all chicken is coated. Add Italian seasoning, chopped onions, brown, chopped/crushed garlic, and more EVOO if needed. Once browned, add tomato, stir, and then add all the other ingredients except burrata cheese. Let simmer on low and cover. Stir every so often, the longer you let simmer, the more favor.

Serve over any pasta you love. I like this over Rigatoni (when pasta is ready), add cheese to the sauce (break up cheese), and stir into sauce. 

After the pasta is drained, add pasta a little at a time while stirring into the sauce.

Serve with a green salad and my delicious homemade garlic bread Recipe here.

 

 

Live life stylishly and look good at any age.

Thank you for stopping by. 

Have a beautiful new week, and thank you for taking the time to stop by and read.

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round- Up #7

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #7

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round- Up #7

Hello Pretty ladies, 

We are all most to the end of May, Schools out in Utah, and were headed into Memorial Weekend end, the kick-off to Summer. I look forward to Bbq season, longer days, spending time in the yard, and pool and lake days! How about you? 

Memorial Weekend means more than significant sales. However, that’s a fun way to spend part of your weekend. Remembering all those who have and are serving this beautiful country is essential. Our freedoms aren’t free, and those who have given so much and families that have made sacrifices must be remembered and thanked. So fly those flags high and remember why we celebrate and have a three-day weekend. 

Thank you to all those who serve and have served this country. God bless you and your families. 

If you like a more personal and closer connection and a “what you could have missed,” you might like my . You can sign up HERE. I send it out every Sunday.

I’ve always been an old soul… 🖼️I started collect I’ve always been an old soul…

🖼️I started collecting antiques when I was 16… I didn’t want a car, I fell in love with an Antique dresser and mirror and asked for that as my Birthday present.

🪏I started gardening and baking along side my mom, probably in a high chair❤️

🍎Which lead to winning my elementary schools pie baking contest when I was in the 2nd grade..🍏Apple pie) with applies from our yard.

📚In the 3rd grade I won a hot air balloon ride for 📚reading the most books in elementary school that year.

🎨In the 5th grade I started a handmade card club at school to drop off a senior centers 

🍽️my love of entertaining, started in elementary school, For fun I would plan dinners(my mom and I would shop for them & I would cook for my family as well as set the tables pretty, have ready when my family came home. 

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!

Now… if I could just get someone to teach me Mahjong … I Really need a reason to buy these tortoiseshell scallop tile holders, pretty tiles and set a gorgeous table😉🤣

Fun fact -I grew geraniums in clay pots in my bedroom in high school…
