Hello Pretty Ladies,

Hoping you had a great week, and that you’ll have a great weekend. I am headed back to California, to my hometown for a celebration of the life of a great man who will be dearly missed, my oldest and dearest friend’s dad passed away, and we are going to celebrate him and the incredible life he lived. I stopped along the way to pick up my mom and will head over the rest of the way together. So, needless to say, a bittersweet homecoming for sure. 

I am however excited to hug my girlfriend’s neck and spend time with her, and give her support in these times. It’s a treasure to have a childhood friend since you were 10 years old, it’s a different kind of bond and friendship. If you know, you know:)

Friday Favorites and Weekend Sales #10

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Other than that, I feel better every day and must remind myself that I can’t do everything I am used to. As I am sure you are aware, we moms go go go and do do do, and we do have to take the time to heal when we have something wrong with our health. Slowing down and taking the time you need to heal is okay. I keep reminding myself of this daily.

Having a Hysterectomy at Midlife Tip

October 4, 2023

Having a Hysterectomy at Midlife Tips.

“Healing in a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.”

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today, I am sharing a little about my hysterectomy. I am one-week post-operation and feeling pretty good. I could return to some normal activities by how I feel now, yet I know I could do damage and set myself back. It’s also not recommended by the doctors as a hysterectomy is a 6-week healing process… So, I am still taking it easy, reminding myself to rest and let my body fully heal. That’s so hard for us busy “doer” types. 

 

 

Health Update: 

One week today post operation ✔️, I shared a touch about having a Hysterectomy a couple of weeks ago on my live with Suzanne @crazyblondelifeblog. If you want to watch, it’s in the feed HERE. I had a large tumor in my uterus (more prominent than a grapefruit or baby’s head) and an enlarged uterus.  The surgery went well, although much longer than estimated. It took 51/2 hours (average Complete Hysterectomy takes 2.5-3 hours). The surgeon also told my family it was one of the most complex surgery she’s ever done.

I have a high pain tolerance, and honestly, I wasn’t in much pain from the Hysterectomy. I was tired, it hurt to go potty, and I had mild cramping. The worst pain was in my shoulder, and I mean horrible pain. What I learned was called shoulder strap, and it’s prevalent after surgery, from the gas that they pump into you for the surgery, which travels up and settles in the shoulder when they set you up. Man, oh man, does it hurt! I wish I had known this was a thing, and I could have prepared, but knowing if I took some gas X, it would have gone away much faster. For me, it took about day 5 to get relief.

Upcoming updates:

I will share more updates and how I feel as the weeks go on, in case you are curious about or may consider having a hysterectomy. It was surprising to learn that 50% of women must have a Hysterectomy. Another big concern is a hysterectomy sends you straight into menopause. I am 51 and haven’t had a period in over a year, maybe two years; I believe I am already in menopause or hopefully past it. I’ll keep you updated as time goes on with the after-effects of a Hysterectomy. I’ve shared my prior Hormone Journey Here

I feel so blessed in many ways…

My surgeon knew I wanted a complete hysterectomy, and I wanted laparoscopic/ vaginal surgery with a 6-week recovery versus the abdominal way with a 12-week recovery. 

Blessing #1: God is good, and always in complete control🙏🏻

#2Blessing  The Surgeon listened and worked hard to give me what I wanted -versus doing what was easier for them.🙏🏻♥️ 

Blessing #3: I was scared of surgery as I have never had one… Power of Prayer🙏🏻 from Family and friends. I had complete peace the day before and the day of surgery 🙏🏻♥️

Blessing #4 NO Cancer

#5 Blessing: fantastic family and friends sending love, prayers, meals, and flowers🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻♥️🙏🏻 I feel so loved!

Blessing #6 Forced to slow down, which has allowed me to work on things for my business♥️

Blessing #7: I woke up😂

A quick couple of Tips:

-Communicate with your Doctors and surgeon! If you don’t feel you’re getting what you want or need, get a 2nd opinion.

– Ask a lot of questions???

-Make sure they hear you and your concerns!

9 Fall trends you can wear at any age

 

9 Fall trends you can wear at any age

Get your wardrobe ready with this Fall edit of the new season’s trends I’ve spotted. From sophisticated Modern Prep, to cool Biker Chic and versatile Denim Remix, They’re real trends for real life, curated just for you. Fall trends you can wear at any age.

Summer Styles That Can Transition Into Fall Barbie Approved

Get your wardrobe ready with this Fall edit of the new season’s trends. 

Cargo pants – sharing a fun twist with the Satin cargo pants. Great to dress up with a festive top and sparkling jewelry for date night or cocktails.

Coated jeans – are a must from metallic to faux leather, easy to style with a button-up top, or a sweater, or layer them both and add a blazer. Festive for the upcoming holidays as well. 

Denim on Denim – layering denim pieces for a chic, easy Fall outfit. Denim on denim makes a great basic outfit, And you can change its look of by adding a 3rd  piece…. 

TIP: A great 3rd piece could be… a blazer, cargo jacket, Leather jacket a sweater cardigan. The possibilities are endless✔️ Add some texture and pattern with your accessories. Below I added faux calf hair leopard print loafers and a pop of metallic gold with the clutch.

The rich bold color of Red – from Red clothing to a pop of red with accessories. This color is coming in hot for Fall and looks great paired with cream and brown tones.

Tip: red looks good on everyone, just find the right shade that will work on your skin tone.  Picking the right Blue or orange undertones makes a big difference in your skin type

Wide-leg jeans & pants – If you only purchase 1 new Fall item, make it a pair of Wide-leg jeans. So flattering and versatile. Dress them up or wear them casually. Flattering on every body type. Just make sure to wear a tighter top to keep the look balanced. I love the Spanx wide-leg pants and flares. They fit great and flatter every figure. (shared below)

Layering Cardigans and Blazers– Take the traditional Fall cardigan and blazer and make it New by layering the cardigan or vest under the blazer for a chic preppy look. The best Blazers that flatter the figure and taper at the waist are by Gibsonlook (shared below)

Tartan Plaid– a Fall staple🍂 but for 2023, we’re seeing it on everything from shoes and accessories to sweaters, pants, and dresses. Not a pattern for just blazers and coats this season.

Sweater Dresses– Another Fall staple, worn with boots and layered with blazers, denim jackets, and even a leather jacket. In 2023 we’re seeing in in every length and neckline. I love the turtleneck sweater dresses. 

Turtlenecks– Not just for your average ski sweater in 2023… This classic and preppy style is showing up on dresses, tees, lightweight sweaters, and chunky sweater styles. Perfect for fall layering and adding a classic and polished look to any outfit. 

Trends we’re still seeing:

Still going strong are the silky slip dresses, the corset look, Sweater dresses, and the Boxy blazer. We saw them last year.

TIP: Make it fresh by adding in one of this season’s trends. Add a sweater over a slip dress or pair it with a blazer. Wear a boxy blazer over a turtleneck sweater dress, and maybe pair that corset over a turtleneck body suit and wear it with wide-leg pants. 

9 Fall trends you can wear at any age

🍂Fall seasonal go-to’s.

Neutral color tones and fall plaids are always in season this time of the year. 🍂 Fall seasonal go-to’s like these Tartan plaids, turtlenecks, and layering Cardigans and blazers seem to always be on trend for fall.

TIP: Pairing these Fall seasonal go-to’s with something fresh and on trend this season upgrades your fall wardrobe without spending a lot of money.

Easy Homemade Spaghetti Marinara Sauce

September 17, 2023

Easy Homemade Spaghetti Marinara Sauce

Happy Sunday, pretty Ladies,

Today’s “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy,” I am bringing you a crowd favorite. My easy homemade spaghetti marinara sauce is yummy but great for Bolognese lasagna; add meatballs, which I use for my Homemade Meatball sandwiches. You can easily substitute canned tomatoes versus garden fresh. 

With our garden harvest, I can make several jars of my sauce every summer. I’ll share that process in another blog post. 

Easy Homemade Spaghetti Marinara Sauce

Spaghetti Sauce

1 28oz can crushed tomatoes or  (4-6 fresh tomatoes blended) 

1 28oz can of diced tomatoes or (4 fresh tomatoes diced) 

2 6oz cans Tomato Paste (garlic basil flavored)

A large handful (or more if you like) Fresh basil ribbon chopped 

Two bay leaves 

Two tablespoons kitchen bouquet (import for rich flavor and color)

One tablespoon sugar

1-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 

3-4 tablespoons jar Parmesan cheese sprinkles 

1/2 cup Olive oil 

One med onion chopped 

3/6 cloves crushed garlic 

2 Tablespoons Italian herbs 

1 Tablespoon Oregano 

1 Tablespoons dried Basil

A Tablespoon of Dried onion

One teaspoon garlic salt

Salt to taste

Pepper to taste

Directions:

Brown onion in olive oil, and add crushed garlic until golden brown. ADD tomatoes, stir, and add paste stir. Add in all other ingredients, mixing them as you do so. 

Let this sauce simmer on low all day on the stovetop, stirring occasionally, or simmer down in the crock pot.  The longer the sauce simmers, the better. Of course, you could make and serve it for dinner, but this is a proper “Sunday Sauce” your family will enjoy for Sunday dinner.
