Happy first day of Summer! The longest day of the year! I don’t know about you, but I couldn’t wait for Summer to arrive! We had one long Winter and Spring this Year!  Of course we had to start off with record heat waves across the country….The perfect time to head over to Jamba Juice and grab a refreshing and healthy smoothie. I was lucky enough to be treated along with my family to the 2 NEW Summer smoothies- Watermelon Breeze & Poolside Fit and let me tell you they are delicious!

Watermelon Breeze Smoothie = has Watermelon Juice, Strawberry, Pineapple, Raspberry Sherbet. The benefits of watermelon is Hydration, Skin Health and Vitamin A

Poolside Fit smoothie = Watermelon juice, Strawberry, Cucumber, Peach, Fresh Lemon juice plus a Collagen boost!  Perfect for  glowing skin and healthy joints.

I love a healthy alternative to ice cream in the Summer and Jamba Juice gives you nutrients on the go with only using real whole fruits and veggies yet fills the craving of Ice cream. My family always enjoys a trip to Jamba Juice! Hurry what are you waiting for….

Hope you had a great First Day of Summer! OX, D’Arcy

—Vlog— Surgery Day How I prepared the morning of —Vlog—
Surgery Day

How I prepared the morning of surgery to remove my 
Melanoma Cancer on my face…

A few things that helped me for the 4-6 hour surgery day.

-Started day with Warm lemon water 
-Prayers, Devotion and journaling. (This helps start your day off right and with strength and peace)🙏🏻
- My Doctor suggested having high protein (I made A high protein Smootie with High antioxidants & Vic C for healing

- Washed hair & styled as I wasn’t sure when I would get to take a shower & wash hair,due to Stitches & bandages on face.

- Essentials, ear buds to listen to a podcast or audio book, my lap top in case I wanted to watch a movie, ice water, a protein bar, lip gloss, a charger and a hair tie❤️

- Comfortable Clothing 

If you want more details on my Melanoma Journey 💪🏻I have two LIVES🎥 in feed SHARING the details the day before, on what to look for, what the difference is between skin cancer and melanoma, what mine looked like and  What procedure the surgeon is doing , as what we did prior to prep, and answering questions-labeled Part one in feed and I am wearing a denim top.
&
-The day after surgery- sharing how it went, results, how I felt, a peek at how far the stitches went, what care is, and next steps as well as answering a ton of questions I received in DMs.  That one you’ll see the bandage on my face😉

I am being very real and authentic with you in sharing this journey, to help spread awareness on the importance of having your skin checked by a dermatologist.🧑‍⚕️👩‍⚕️

While also showing how smoothing so small can take a lot of work to be removed, while also showing…. It will be ok, and you may feel scared and think you’ll never look the same, but you can be brave, trust the process and we’ll heal and look normal again:) It just takes time😉❤️💋💪🏻🙏🏻

Update: Today is 7 days after surgery and I had my stitches taken out yesterday! 
Now the real healing begins. 
I finally had a decent nights sleep, my face is swollen, I don’t look like Frankenstein anymore😉 and although the scar goes from my under eyelashes to my jaw, it looks better then I thought it would. It’s pretty flat and the Dr, who stitched me up did an amazing job. ❤️#melanoma
