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

Day 3 Road Tripping Itinerary 🚗🌵🌴☀️🏜️ Our Last d Day 3 Road Tripping  Itinerary 🚗🌵🌴☀️🏜️

Our Last day and evening in Mesa,Az before heading to Palm Springs, Ca.

We started out with grabbing a coffee & a little walk, then heading to the pool. Our goal this trip was relaxing in the sun ☀️ poolside☀️🌴While enjoying a little late afternoon early evening easy entertaining and good food…

Late afternoon we headed out to the golf course & then later to go on a garden walk and check out a couple local nurseries, before heading to dinner . 

I love to see what grows in that area and learn a little. Plus it’s always beautiful 🌵🌺🌸🌵Did you know a good size catus is $2,000-5,000 and a decent size Palm tree starts at $7,500 to $15,000 and that was the sale prices.

We had a yummy Italian dinner at @pizzicatausa over looks  the painted mountain golf course. 

 Then we went on an evening stroll at the golf course found a bench by the pond and had a cocktail to watch the sun set🌅🌵🍷
Perfect way to end the day ✔️

If you’re looking for an easy & Relaxing  day, this is a perfect itinerary 

Tomorrow morning we’re Off to Palm Springs, Ca. A 4 hour drive from Mesa.Az. 🌴🌺🚗☀️

Do you like a road trip to be leisurely or to pack in a tone of things to do?

➡️Slide through 6 slides ➡️
To view process

 6 weeks  after my First laser treatment round 2 co2  deep core laser treatment.

I was diagnosed in December, Surgery in January and my first laser in February.

I’ve been sharing this Journey in hopes to help encourage you to make a skin check up appointment. 

Melanoma Cancer is deadly and very different from Skin Cancer.

Melanoma cancer is deadly,  early detection is key, before it can spread to lymph nodes, organs, &  blood. 

If your new here or just seeing this post, I have 5 other parts with all the info and my Journey to date in Feed and stores saved to highlights with more info.

Thank you for all the kind messages, comments and prayers! I appreciate you being apart of my tribe.

Thank you and NOW make your Skin Appointment! 

May is Skin cancer awareness month and it’s so important to get your skin checked!

I am happy to answer any questions in Dm
