Dear D'Arcy

By D'Arcy Vandenberg


Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #6

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #6

Hello pretty ladies, 

I hope your week was a good one! It seemed to fly by for me! I can’t seem to catch up and get everything done on my to-do list! Have you had weeks or months like this? What do you do to keep yourself from stressing out over it? 

I have learned to take a day at a time, and LISTS helps me. I have a weekly to-do list and try to break it down into daily parts… Then, what I don’t finish for that day, I highlight it and make it my first thing for the next day. If you’re like me, you might have great expectations of what you can accomplish in a day! Which can set your week up for failure. 

Instead, make a priority list, a “something I would love to do List” “and an “I have time List” Break the priority list into items for each day. Then when you accomplish that day’s priorities, pick something from the other list. This will allow you to achieve your daily priorities and feel good about the day instead of causing stress.

Let me know if you try this little “life helper” or if you have a tip to help you accomplish your goals of the week by commenting below. 

 

If you like a more personal and closer connection as well as a”what you could have missed review,” you might like my

| A Little Life Catch-up |

Last night I enjoyed attending my sweet girlfriend’s “girlfriend Dinner.” Jennifer Burns, a Chef on ABC, hosted a beautifully catered dinner at her home—an annual event. Let me tell you; it’s always such a fun evening with good friends and great food.

This year was a Chinese theme Hibachi night.  

Shifuku did a fantastic job catering a fun experience and an excellent idea for a Birthday party or even an engagement party or rehearsal dinner.

For the Grad going on a senior trip:

Colleen Rothschild Hair  Care Travel Kit. Everything you need to have healthy, shiny hair while traveling comes in a great travel bag.     *For a little extra, add a Visa gift card

For the Grad  headed to a Dorm:

A cozy Barefoot Dreams blanket or Dupe. Giving them the coziness of home. Nothing better than these buttery soft blankets. It will be their favorite gift.  *A little extra, add a gas card
