5 Ingredient White Chocolate Chip Blueberry Muffins

Happy Sunday, pretty Ladies!

How was your week? Can you believe we are already headed into the last week of April? Mother’s Day is going to be here before we know it. In addition, we have two college graduations this week, Hayden and Tyler are both graduating from Weber State, and we are beyond excited to celebrate these two boys. I can’t wait to see what the feature holds for both.

Today I am sharing an easy and quick recipe, 5 Ingredients White Chocolate Chip Blueberry Muffins —a great morning treat, an afternoon snack, and easy to take on the go. I created a REEL on Instagram a while back, making these yummy muffins. Watch it HERE.

“The fondest memories are made when gathered around the table.” So they’ll come running for these….

Recipe:

One box of super moist French vanilla cake mix

one 15 oz can of blueberries in light syrup (I like Oregon)

1 cup white chocolate chips ( I like Guittard)

Two tablespoons of flaxseed meal

Powdered sugar enough to top muffins

What to do:

Mix cake mix and flaxseed, add blueberries with syrup, mix, and add chocolate chips, stirring in. Scoop into muffin pan and bake at 350 for 12-17 min, depending on the oven

Makes 12-20 muffins depending on the size muffins pans

Live life stylishly and look good at any age.

Have a beautiful new week, and thank you for taking the time to stop by and read my blog post

The denim-on-denim trend is strong, and this chambray button-up with little ruffle detail is too cute. Style it over a tan dress, paired with shorts, or worn with white jeans for a fresh look.

Jewelry

I am a sucker for accessories and jewelry for use on the outfit. So here are some pieces I purchased this SSpringI am already wearing on repeat.

Evereve large turquoise and gold statement ring and this delicate turquoise and gold bracelet. I love that it mixes and matches all my gold jewelry, yet it also works with several turquoise pieces I own.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Hello Pretty ladies,

I hope your week has been going well. Life seems to go by faster and faster as we age, wouldn’t you agree? We’re already halfway thru April! How does that happen? Today, I share 3 ways to style the Spanx Air essential Dress.

This easy-to-wear buttery soft dress with pockets is easy to wear and style. With a mock neckline and a tank sleeve style, you’ll wear it all Spring and Summer. You can quickly wear this dress in many different ways, but today I am showing you three ways to style it for work wear, sporty chic, and for travel.

Work Wear

Spanx dress styled with the Spanx blazer.

The Spanx air essentials crew neck sweatshirt is over the shoulders for a fun detail. I chose the cognac color crew neck sweatshirt because it matched my Cecelia New York sandals and tied in with this vegan leather tote.

Finish off the look with Gold Accessories. This is a great professional look for work, a Zoom meeting, or a Business lunch.

This look is also comfortable to wear all day, yet removing the crew neck for a chic dress and blazer look could take you straight to a dinner date.

Shop the Look Below:

Sporty Chic

Spanx dress paired with a denim jacket immediately takes it to a more casual look. But take it to sporty chic by adding a fun Ball cap, big silver hoop earrings, White leather sneakers with a bit of silver detail, and a dressed-up belt bag with silver chain detail.

This Sports chic look is great for traveling, sightseeing, sporting events, or grabbing coffee with friends.

Again easy to wear, Easy to pack, and looks oh so put together.

Shop the look below:

Travel Vacation mode

I made the Spanx dress look like a skirt, paired with the Spanx Air essential crew neck sweatshirt, a cute Gigi pip Straw sun hat, an Amazon Find Straw bag, and fun Dolce Vita sandals. The espadrille platform is a fun look.

On a warmer day, you could easily swap out the crew neck sweatshirt for a button-up or oversized graphic tee. Or wear it with no layers.

I think a denim shirt tied around the waist would be cute.

A great alternative to wearing an extra layer is using it as an accessory on a warm day. This gives the layer a look without adding an entire layer.

Fashion Tip:

Adding texture to an outfit with accessories helps create a well-put-together look without much effort.

Think of different fabric mixes, adding texture to a shoe or a bag. Finally, jewelry finishes off the look.

Shop to look below:

How Hairstyles help create a look

Another thing to consider is how you style your hair for each look. Choose a hairstyle that will compliment the outfit.

Higher necklines look great with hair pulled back to show off the neckline. A top knot is a cute look with a work/office look. Glasses on the head as a fashion statement pull hair away from the face to show the neckline. Looks business-like as well.

Spanx discount Code

I have a discount code for any Spanx purchase. If you are interested, use the:

SAVE 10% off all Spanx with my CODE: DEARDARCYXSPANX. Great free shipping and returns too

Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age.

April 3, 2023

Spring Trends are perfect for Easter at any age.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope your weekend was what you needed it to be. Ours was laid back, and I did get a lot of work done, which felt great. Today’s blog post is in conjunction with the Fashion Fix Tv segment I created for Good Things Utah today. Live at 10:00 am Mnt. Time. Stream it from anywhere by clicking HERE.

Watch the Tv segment= link to Watch

I headed to my go-to shopping center, Station Park in Farmington, knowing I could find what I wanted to create the looks for this segment. Evereve, H&M, Old Navy, and Bohmn are where I headed this time.

Station Park has all your shopping needs, with a beautiful outdoor setting and something for everyone. Let’s not forget several restaurants so you can make a great outing.

Perfect for Easter

Whether you’re headed to Easter services, Brunch, the kid’s egg hunt, or dinner with family and friends, I’ve created some on-trend looks I think you’ll love and look great in at any age & stage in your life. You can wear these pieces all Spring and Summer to look and feel great. Watch the fun REEL I created

“Florals for spring are nothing new, here are a few Spring trends that are fresh and doesn’t evolve a large floral print.”

Trending Styles for Spring:

-The suit

-The trouser trend

-Eyelet

-Wide-leg crop or wide leg

-Denim skirt med length and long

-Twist on a shirt dress

-The ribbed tank dress

-The Blazer

– Pj style pantsuit

Color trends:

Hot pink & Orange

Lilac

Sage green

Kelly green

Neutrals

Cornflower Blue

Navy blue

Details:

Bows, small or large

Laser cutouts

Cutouts

Studs

Braided

Quilted

Tiny ruffle detail -think trim

Pearls

-Added a slight floral touch for a fresh look without screaming “Floral for Spring.”

My Model’s looks:

Cammi-Cornflower Blue Eleni Maxi coverage dress with pretty little bow details. It is paired with a pop of floral on the Cecelia New York shoes. And finish off the look with an ivory custom coastal clutch. A perfect look for Easter services, Brunch, and would be darling for A bridal shower.

Swap out pieces for a more casual or youthful look:

This dress could be worn in many ways: pull off the shoulders for a less modest way, or add a bunch of turquoise jewelry and cowboy boots for a boho vibe. So cute for festival and concert season.

Kjirstin -Modeling the pantsuit trend in this season’s fresh color trend sage. The Blazer & the Pant was paired with a slightly floral detailed top in sage and pink. Finish the look with the Quilted accessories trend in the shoes and bag. The final finishing touch is Pearl accessories.

The pantsuit is a great alternative to a dress. A fresh and chic look for Spring

Swap out pieces for a more casual or youthful look:

Change up the look, A younger person could swap out the top for a cropped top, and swap out the accessories for simpler pieces. Think simple platform sandals and a belt bag.

Myself– Wearing the Neutral color trend with the Twist on a Shirtdress, a mocha-colored high-low button-up dress. It was paired with a cute Cream cargo cropped jacket and Studded detail neutral sandals. For a bit of Pop of color, a hot pink bag.

: Mannequin 2

: Mannequin 3

: Mannequin 4

Outfits on the Mannequins

1st Mannequin – Med length Denim Skirt, Eyelet top, and pretty bow detail heels. If you don’t love a denim skirt, pair it with Wide leg crops. Works for every age, as shown in the segment.

2nd Mannequin – Hot Pink and Orange – solid Ribbed Tank dress in Orange pairs with a solid Hot pink blazer, Accessorized with A darker orange braid bag for texture and a little pop. Hot Pink tassel earrings and finishing the look with a fun circle detailed, neutral sandal.

Change up for a more youthful look

This look could be worn at any age as well, but to look more youthful, you could add a denim jacket instead of a blazer, swap out sandals for tennis shoes or pass on a jacket and tie a denim shirt around the waist.

3rd Mannequin – A coastal look with a Navy striped ribbed sweater tank dress, Paired with a Navy blazer (Save 10% with code DARCY10) and accessorized with a Neutral Laser cutout bag and sandals. Finished off with a straw hat gives this look the perfect coastal vibe. Cutouts on bags and shoes are a great choice to wear the trend if you don’t feel comfortable wearing clothing with cutouts.

Change up The Look

-Here’s another look that could be worn at any age, but simply changing out a blazer for no jacket or a cargo or denim jacket and changing accessories to simple Converse tennis shoes and a belt bag, would create a more youthful look.

4th Mannequin -Pj Pant suit set, Oversized top & Pants. Easy, breezy, and Chic. Kelly Green is a hot color trend, and paired with black gives it a fun edge. Yet, still very Spring-like. Accessories help take this look from looking like pj’s to looking business chic. The black body suit keeps the eye clean and flattering. A lightweight wax-coated black jacket over the shoulders, gold bow detailed slides, and a black quilted bag with gold trim polish off the look.

Change up the look

Here you could opt to not were the button-up and only wear the bodysuit with the pants, and forgo any jacket. This look would also be just with a denim jacket and a simple sandal or Converse or Ked-type tennis shoe. Swap out a quilted bag for a crossbody bag.

I hope I inspired you to try something a little new to you this Spring. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and read “Spring Trends Perfect for Easter At Any Age.”

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

April 2, 2023

The Best Carrot Cake Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy April and Sunday, my friends. I am sure you have figured out I share a recipe on Sundays. Are you a carrot cake lover? I have the best carrot cake recipe that is tried and true. This is a recipe I have made for years and family approved. Do you want a cake that is such good people ask you to make it for them? This is the one my hubby asks him to make him. This is the cake I make for his Birthday.

This Carrot cake is perfect for Easter; it can be made into cupcakes, two loave pans, a bunt pan, two rounds, or one square. So, you can get creative and decide which look you’d like to have for serving.

Ben and I have tried many carrot cakes, and only one has come close to this recipe; trust me when I say, My carrot cake recipe is so good. I know you’re going to love it.

I created a REEL you might want to watch.

Carrot Cake Recipe:

Ingredients:

2 Cups Flour

2 Cups Sugar

1 1/3 C Vegetable Oil

4 Eggs

4 Cups Grated Carrots (Tip: the bag of Shredded carrots at the market is 4 cups)

2 Teaspoons Cinnamon

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

2 Teaspoon Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Vanilla

3/4 Cup Walnuts. (1/2 cup extra , chopped to garnish if you wish)

2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

In A Mixing Bowl

Preheat oven 350. Beat Sugar, eggs, and vanilla, and add oil until thick. Add in flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and cinnamon. Fold in Carrots and walnuts. Pour in the greased pan or pans of choice. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes, depending on the oven.

Cream Cheese Frosting:

8oz Cream Cheese

One Stick/Cube of Butter

1 Tablespoon Vanilla

1 Box of Powder Sugar ( you won’t use the whole box) I use 3 cups

*Double the frosting recipe if using a bunt pan, two round pans, or two loaf pans.

In A Mixing Bowl

In a mixing bowl, beat Cream cheese and butter until light; add Vanilla, then add Sugar to taste while mixing. (Sugar is to taste as some like it sweeter than others.)

Frosting The Cake

Let the cake or cakes cool on a cooling rack. Once cool, flip on a plate to remove it from the pan. Once completely cool on a plate, use a frosting spatula, and frost the cake. Embellish cake with chopped walnuts or carrot shavings. If you are good at decorating, add little carrots.

A Few baking Items I love:

Have a beautiful day, pretty ladies,

Binge-Worthy shows

If you want a couple of binge-worthy shows, I just finished Genny & Georgia on Netflix Crazy, what kids are going through and what a mom will do for her kids. If you like a murder mystery and suspense, YOU Is a pretty crazy show with twists and turns. In the 1st & the 4th season, we’re the best. Unfortunately, 2nd and the 3rd felt a little like serial killers!
