Madewell Sale, Spring & Summer Must Have’s

Madewell Sale, Spring & Summer Must-Have’s

Hello Pretty ladies, 

I hope your week is going well. I’m hopping on for Thrifty Thursday and sharing an unusual Thursday blog post rather than a Friday, as the Madewell 20% off sale in the Like to Know It app starts today and goes until the 13th. I didn’t want you to miss this opportunity to grab some of my favorite picks you’ll wear all Spring and Summer on sale. 

You’ll love the pieces I picked out during a little try-on haul at Madewell in California this week. They’re perfect for Spring and Summer. These pieces can be mixed and matched, and they’re ideal for Memorial Weekend, BBQs, picnics, Travel every day, and Summer Holidays. I love the red accessories for a pop of color. View the Try-on HERE

I did this fun try-on with my girlfriend Danielle while in California, and I should have shared her try-on with you as well! I’ll share her picks below, as they looked darling on her and will on you, too. She’ll be shopping these pieces on the sale today as well.

On another note, my week in California was jam-packed, and I’ll share all about it next week.

💚A easy test that checks 83 bio markers, and will completely
Change how you take charge of your health.

From my experience, I got my results back in about 5 days, and the report was super easy to understand. It broke everything down — from heart and metabolic health to hormones, immune function, and blood cells. The best part? A healthcare professional actually went over everything with me on Zoom and gave me a personalized plan, not just a bunch of confusing numbers.

I learned so much from this test & my consult, compared to my Doctors visit, for a fraction of the cost. 

I love that I now know what’s going on with my body and I have a plan. A total game changer for me. 

✅Your Health Story Simplified: 
✅Easy-to-understand results, reviewed by clinicians
 
✅Follow-up consults, tailored recommendations, and prescriptions

Blessed with another Year💕🍁🌸 Some of the Blessed with another Year💕🍁🌸

Some of the blessing that come with aging are the life lessons you learn along the way. 
My little Birthday wisdom😉🎂🎁🎉

With aging comes more confidence, less people pleasing, more of what you want and knowing time is precious, what’s important and how you want to spend it!

Look at Midlife as a blessing
-You’re alive
-The knowledge you posses
-What you can share with others
-Aging is a blessing, NOT everyone gets to do it ✔️
- It may have its struggles but, so does life.
- Embracing it… doesn’t mean you’ll go down without a fight!

You CAN look good, feel good, and have fun ✔️ just remember to 
Surround yourself with supportive women. 
Build the tribe you’ll all thrive in♥️♥️

Midlife does have challenges, but so does every age…. You’ve got this✔️
It’s all a mindset ♥️♥️♥️

Cheers to another year🥂🍾

🧙The Witch’s House in Beverly Hills, Californ 🧙The Witch’s House in Beverly Hills, California 

🔮The Witch’s House, also known as the “Spadena House”, is an enchanting house in the heart of Beverly Hills that appears to be plucked straight out of a fairytale. The house was built in 1921 for a silent film movie studio, Willat Studios in Culver City, to serve as its offices and dressing rooms. When the studio closed, the Spadena family moved the home to its current location in Beverly Hills, where it has been since 1934.

Thanks to the pointy, lopsided roof, tiny windows and stucco with a distressed paint technique, the storybook home has been described as the quintessential Hansel and Gretel house.

🎥CBS Sunday Morning received an exclusive tour of the home, and you can view the video 
On their website.
516 North Walden Drive
Beverly Hills, CA 90210

🔮The Witch’s House is a private residence owned by Beverly Hills realtor, Michael J. Libow. 

🚨Tours are not offered. Please be respectful by viewing the home only from the sidewalk or street.
