11 Free Date Ideas

11 Free Date Ideas

11 Free Date Ideas

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I thought it would be fun to share some fun free date night ideas with you that my hubby and I love to do with each other, along with a couple of reasons why it’s important to date your spouse.

 

The importance of Taking Time to Date your spouse:

Taking the time to date your spouse is essential to stay connected,  share your thoughts, and catch up on your week. Life gets busy with family duties, work, and life. It’s really easy to disconnect and eventually grow apart.

Why You Should Date your Spouse:

Ben and I make a point to have a weekly date night. Time for just him and I, no kids, no work, no duties. It’s our time that we can enjoy each other and talk about what is going on in our lives. Spending time together keeps us emotionally connected, which helps with staying physically connected.  

Here are a few great articles on the importance of Dating your Spouse: 

Importance of Friendship and Fun| 10 Reasons to date your Spouse| 5 Reasons it’s important to date your spouse

11 Free Date Ideas:

1. Bike ride– Taking a bike ride around the block is fine, but Searching out a fun bike path you maybe haven’t done makes it more special. Pack some snacks and stop for a little break to chat and Catch up.

2. Walk– I love a good walk. Research a fun walking path, pack a light meal and incorporate a picnic.

3. Picnic– Pack a picnic and head to the Park or scenic area, take in the view, and have a meal.

4. Pool or spa –  if you have one or have a community pool-make a charcuterie board and cocktails and enjoy some time together poolside. 

5. Go for a drive– One of my husband’s favorite things is to take a Sunday drive.  Depending on the time of the year, we’ll hop in the convertible, play some tunes and check out some new scenery. 

6. Cook -a new recipe together 

7. Coffee and chat– make coffees (tea), sit on the porch or deck, and catch up.

8. Home Spa day– hubbies can have home facials too. Pull out your Beauty products and give each other facials.

9. Hike– pack a picnic and go for a hike. It’s easy to find ones in your area. Google is your friend. In Utah, we like these four, depending on the level we’re feeling that day. 1. Water Fall canyon 2. Skyline trail 3. Ogden River Parkway trail 4. Wind Cave Trail

10. Concert– You say concerts aren’t free? Yes, a lot of areas have free concerts. It just takes a little google search. Live in Utah?  Snowbasin has Blue, Brews & BBQ, and Music in the mountains at Powder Mnt. , Silly Sundays Park City, and Canyons village Summer concerts, 

11. Movie night– pop some popcorn, grab a drink get comfy, and watch a movie you’ll enjoy. 

 

Think of where you live. Are you close to the beach, a lake, wildflower fields, scenic roads, and rivers? All of these beautiful surroundings make for a great free date spot.

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

Hello Pretty Ladies, I have shared with you that we are getting ready to list our home and researching ways to make the processes easier and faster. Here are “7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready” Put on your seatbelts – we are going on a crazy ride! Selling your home right now is a great idea financially, but it can also be very overwhelming to do. You might be wondering, “where do I even start?” I’m here to help! Here are a few ways to get your home sell-ready:

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

Fix any issues

First up: fix any issues before you consider listing them. You could tackle this two ways: only fix the issues that are very apparent (like holes in the walls) so that prospective buyers are more attracted to the home and make a better offer. Or fix as many issues (seen and unseen) that you know of to have a better inspection report come back. I prefer only to tackle sight seen issues because once you get the inspection report back, they will make repair requests…and even if you fix a lot beforehand, you WILL have things that pop up on your inspection, so you might as well fix only what you have to unless there is an actual serious issue that could deter buyers.

 

Meet with your agent and figure out a price

Once you prepare your home, your next step is to meet up with your agent (if you are using one!) to figure out a price. Right now, prices are wild, and it can be tough to know what price you should list your home at, so I recommend trusting a real estate agent that knows what they are doing. Of course, you want the most bang for your buck, and pricing it yourself could land you a bad deal. However, at the end of the day, any deal that YOU think works for you is a good deal.

7 Ways To Get Your Home Sell-Ready

Get everything deep cleaned.

Right before your listing goes on the market, you will want to declutter, de-personalize, and get your home deep cleaned so that it shines and looks its best! Of course, if you don’t have the time for this or want it in tip-top shape, you could always hire this out. Professional cleaners have the potential to do WONDERS when it comes to making your home look (and smell) great! This is definitely a must before letting people into your home when they are making a potentially life-changing offer.

 

Post your home on Facebook

When everything is live, go ahead and post your listing on Facebook. You could even post before your home goes live to gain traction and potentially get an off-market deal. However, doing this runs the risk of you getting less money overall because when it is on the market right now, you will (without fail!) have a bidding war, which will up the total price you get for the sale of your home. Nevertheless, posting on Facebook is always a great thing to quickly get people in the door!

 

Negotiate once you have a potential buyer

Once you have found a buyer, it’s time for negotiations! Everything can be negotiated, so don’t leave anything on the table. At the end of the day, it’s a seller’s market, and you have the option to get back-up offers, just in case something falls through. During negotiations, be kind, but make sure you are not bending to make an unreasonable request. This is the hardest part. You’ve got this!

 

Find a new home

Once you get through the hardest part, it’s not time for the fun! Finding a home of your own! Make your list of what you need and what you want, then set up an official home search. To make a competitive offer in this market, talk with your agent. With a lot of homes, they are moving quickly, and they are only willing to accept the best offer with a clean contract. Keep that in mind when house hunting, but make sure you don’t settle for something less than great!

 

Move!

Last but not least, the final step in this entire process is moving! This can be overwhelming and stressful, and nobody LOVES to do it themselves. To take care of that, hire it out instead. There are great companies out there that can help you with the moving process – like Movin’. They are residential movers and office movers in Salt Lake City, and they go above and beyond to ensure that all of their clients are 100% satisfied. After all, word-of-mouth reviews are their best reference! They say, “Moving is never fun. From the packing to the heavy lifting, it’s a big project that’s tough to handle on your own. So when you need to enlist the help of local movers headquartered in Salt Lake City, UT, Provo-Orem, UT Metropolitan Statistical Area, and surrounding areas, you’ll want to find an experienced and well-equipped company to handle your move. When searching for moving companies near you, look no further than Movin’.”

 

Here are a few things, I have found that help your home smell good, I use them for cleaning and Items I organized to have cupboards and closets looking clean and tidy!

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

Hello Pretty ladies, Spring is here, which means Summer is around the corner! This means spending more time outdoors, and Beach & Lake Vacations are fast approaching. I love nothing more than spending time on the water. Whether poolside or beachside. How about you? Do you have a warm-weather vacation coming up? I have 4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life you will love, not only because they’re so cute but because they pack well too.

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

Cabana Life resort wear is perfect for the whole family. Clothing that protects you, Spf 50, and UV ray protection. Who doesn’t want a little more protection from the sun? 

I love that Cabana Life clothing can take you from the beach to lunch. It’s fashionable and practical.  Every piece travels well, along with not taking up a lot of space. Personally, I love that every collection has a matching swimsuit. I am making packing even more effortless.

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

I took several pieces to Palm Beach, Florida, and it helped me pack and organize my outfits. It can also mix and match some of the collections, like in this outfit above: From the Jetties & Nantucket Collection. The colors work together. Even though the patterns are different, it makes for a fun combination. Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns. As long as the colors are the same, it works out great.

Fashion tip: It’s always a good rule of thumb to think of 3 ways you can wear a piece of clothing before purchasing it!

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah Tv Segment 

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Hello pretty ladies,

Today, I am so excited to share. I will be on Good Things Utah sharing: A Fashion Segment on “Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women.” You can watch the segment HERE or Live at 10:00 am Mnt. On local channel 4/KTVX.

 Below: I am sharing a complete list of all the items I am sharing from White House Black Market, along with MY TIPS: on Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife. I hope you enjoy it! Ox ( I will enter photos from today, after the show)

 

Sharing a few Spring Fashion Fixes for dressing Chic at any age.. is something I try to share with you, as it is my main goal to help Midlife women look and feel good at any age. We are not the Golden girls anymore!

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

-Aging doesn’t mean you have to lose your sense of style. If anything, we have finally figured out who we are and what our style is.

-Age shouldn’t dictate what we wear. However, it may dictate what you are comfortable in. And, like many women, your style probably has developed more over time. Finding what you really love and what works for your body is most important.

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

 

                                     4 of my most significant fashion FIXES:

#1-Always wear what you love. When you wear what you love, you feel good.

#2-Wear what works on your body and makes you feel great, no matter the trend! Clothes that don’t work on your body type DON’T Flatter you. 

#3-Accentuate, your body’s good features, tiny waist, great legs, flat tummy or pretty shoulders, whatever that may be… show it. Don’t let aging defy you.

#4- It’s ok to wear seasonal trends. Mix them in with your classic pieces. So often, when ladies approach midlife, they think they can’t wear fashion trends! So, False! Adding in subtle trending details updates your wardrobe and gives it a “FRESH look,” and a lot of the time, the most affordable way to update a wardrobe. 

                    Here are a few Spring Fashion Fixes that are trending:

                                       White| Flares| High Waisted| Belts| Blazers| Braided Sandals|

                                         Layered Jewlery|Pattern Pop| Stud details| 

All great ways to “FIX” your midlife Fashion. And below are ways to incorporate them.

 

Color WHITE|

-White is always chic and timeless for Spring and Summer… (One of the perks of midlife, no little hands to get you dirty 😂), and Neutrals are trending in a BIG way this Spring! We love this Bag and This top.

Jeans|

Add a pair of white jeans, skinny or High waisted Flares Shown below are from White House Black Market. 

All jean styles are “in style” right now, from straight legs, cropped flares, and mid-rise to high rise. There’s no wrong style right now. Most importantly, wear what you feel good in!

Below are two Jean styles trending:

 

 

White Skinny Jeans|

The skinny jean is flattering on every figure, great worn dressed down or up. Perfect with flowy Summer tops and this season’s ruffled detailed tops. 

Two STYLE FIXES BELOW: 

Style Fix #1.

The balance of a flowy top and a tight bottom has a slimming effect (significant for those with a tummy). 

Style Fix #2.

Another great way to style skinny jeans is with a Blazer or Moto jacket over a button-up blouse or graphic tee. Dress up for work or down for play.

 

 

White High rise Flares|

High-rise jeans can have a love-hate relationship, depending on your figure and how you wear them. Some love them, and some hate them. On the other hand, they can be great for hiding a muffin top and bad on your backside.

 So, styling them correctly is key. If you’re like me and don’t have a backside and carry your weight in the middle, they are great styled with a blazer. They hold the tummy in, hide a muffin top, and the blazer covers the backside. Also, they can make you look taller if you’re on the shorter side. To name a few body types. Otherwise, I could go on and on.

Three Style Fix below:

-Style Fix #1.

wearing a flare is on-trend and can really elongate your legs.

Style Fix #2.

  • High-waisted is also on-trend and can be great with a bodysuit and blazer.

Style Fix #3.

  • Wearing high-waisted with some of the Cropped trending sweaters and tops is also helpful to be on-trend without showing skin.

Here are a Few white jeans I love from White House Black Market Below:

 

Belt|

Belts come and go in Fashion. We have been seeing belts trending for a while now, especially with the designer logos. This Spring, we see all belts, with the WIDE belts being hot hot hot! 

Three Style Fix below:

Style Fix #1.-Belts show off a waist: Accentuates a small waist or gives an illusion of a waist. 

Style Fix #2.– Belts add shape to a shirt dress or Maxi tee dress.

Style Fix #3.– Belts can add detail to simpler outfits.

Here are some Favorites from the White House Black Market Below:

 

 

Blazers|

Adding some spring trends with your classic pieces helps keep your wardrobe from looking dated. A dated wardrobe ages you, and nobody wants to look older😂

Below are 3 styling Fixes for wearing Blazers

Styling FIX #1. A Tee-shirt dress with a Blazer shown here is classic yet “ON Trend” with the Spring Blazer craze that’s going on.

Styling FIX #2. Another great way to wear a blazer is with a graphic tee and shorts.

Styling FIX #3. Wearing a blazer is as simple as dressing up in a tee and jeans.

Some of our favorite flattering Blazers below from White House Black Market:

 

 

Accessories| Braided| Layered Jewlery| Pattern pop| Studded detail

Accessories are a great way to add in a Subtle trend without being too trendy. Accessories FIX a dated wardrobe.

HERE are a few of this season’s accessory trends below.

 

Braided Sandal Trend|

Shown below, the braided sandal is hot this season. WHBM has a couple of cute ones to add in Here & Here

 

 

Layered Jewelry|

Layered jewelry has been on trend for a couple of seasons. Wearing several of your favorite necklaces at once adds detail. Creating this look is simple with this necklace by White House Black Market, as all the layering is done for you in one simple piece. Great to dress up a simple tank top or tee.

Crystals are trending from Fashion to home decor. They have great energy and give any outfit a great “statement.”

Below are a couple of pieces I love:

 

 

 

Pattern Pop|

Pop of leopard is always a fun addition to any outfit. Leopard truly never goes out of style. Now, wearing too much of it at once can be overdone. Just a pop will do!

Fashion Fix: Add a pop of leopard to your outfit with a great leopard bag to make a statement. Or even a pair of Leopard shoes can create an interest in a simple outfit.

Some great Leopard pieces from WHBM:

 

 

Studded detail|

 Studded detail is also “Trending” it is a fun little detail to add to an outfit without being too youthful yet adding an “on-trend” update to your look. This detail once associated with punk rock is no longer! Instead, it’s a detail Valentino has been sporting for a while and is one you need to add to your wardrobe.

Style Fix: The stud element adds texture to an outfit. You can add the stud detail with a bag or shoes shown below. It’s also being used as a detail on clothing. A Fun element that takes your outfit up a notch.

I love this Bag and these sandals by WHBM:

Along with stocking up on some of my regulars, her Brow lift pencil, Gel, and Lipliner.

I also heard rave reviews on the Isle of Paradise self-tanning drops and mist. My sister has raved about all the Tatcha products, and I thought I pick one up. But, no, better time to try out new products and stock up on favorites.

📚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😉🤣
