-Brown and season your meat of choice.

-Coat each potato with melted butter and salt and pepper to taste

-Fill potato 1/2 way with meat, then layer shredded cheese. Top with bacon & green onions and bake in the oven at 350 until cheese is melted (15-20 min depending on range)

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and there is something so fun about celebrating the friendships in your life by having a Galentine’s party. So today I am sharing 5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines Party. With items to decorate from Walmart that are so festive and affordable. Along with a couple of outfits, ideas I think you’ll love.

 

What is Galentine’s Day

Galentine’s Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated on February 13th. The holiday was made popular by the TV series Parks and Recreation and celebrated female friendships and relationships, especially if you don’t have a significant other. Galentine’s Day involves women honoring the important ladies in their lives through gift exchanges, dinners, gatherings, spa days, and more. It’s a great time to show appreciation for the strong bonds between women!

 

5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines

 

 5 Steps to Throwing the Perfect Galentines:

1. Set the Scene: Decorations, snacks, and atmosphere are essential (see my picks above)

2. Pick Your Guests: Invite your best gals for a night of laughter, stories, and fun.

3. Plan an Activity: Whether you watch a movie together or play a game, choose something everyone will enjoy!

4. Honor Each Other: Give thoughtful cards or gifts to show each other how much they mean to you.

5. Serve food & drinks: Serve decadent treats like chocolate-dipped strawberries or heart-shaped cookies. Or Wow them with a chocolate fondu Charcutier board! Easy to put together and looks so festive. Really Celebrate your friendship over a delicious meal!

New Year’s Target Home Refresh

New Year's Target Home Refresh

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Christmas has been taken down, and the house feels a little empty. I love doing a little home refresh in January. How about you? Adding just a few pieces to your home decor can give a minor update. I found a few pieces at Target to freshen up your home, whether you’re looking for a small amount of furniture, a new lamp, or a great coffee table book to inspire you. Target has some great affordable pieces.

I love changing up my dish towels and refreshing the pillows. It’s a great affordable way to give a little update/refresh to your home. Adding a new piece of art or a mirror can give your room a new look, while a new little accent piece, like a chair or a small dresser, can change the room’s look. 

Here are my picks from Target:

Upholstered Natural Wood Accent Chair – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia

 

16″ Faux Olive Leaf Potted Plant – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia

 

3-Drawer Wood Dresser – Hearth & Hand™ with Magnolia

 

Assembled Resin Table Lamp Tan – Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee.

 

 

Shiraleah Decorative Montecito Jug Vase

 

 

Rolling Hills Framed Wall Canvas Green – Threshold™ designed with Studio McGee

 

Cozy Feathery Knit Border Striped Throw Blanket – Threshold

Cheaters Homemade Garlic Bread

January 8, 2023

Cheaters Homemade Garlic Bread

Cheaters Homemade garlic bread

Hello, Pretty ladies.

Today’s Sunday recipe is one of my Family’s all-time favorite garlic bread! I shared a little of their reaction below. I hope you try this recipe, and let me know in the comments. Have a great Sunday. 

 

Homemade Garlic bread!

Cheaters Homemade Garlic Bread! This is so dang good I have to make two loaves for this Family of 7!

Garlic Bread Recipe:

Loaf Rhodes Frozen Bread

One cube butter

One tablespoon of  minced garlic

 Tablespoon (1) Garlic Seasoning

1/2 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning

NOTE: This Bread is not for someone on a diet 

How to:

First, Place the frozen loaf on a cooking sheet lined with parchment paper, and cover it with a linen dishtowel.

(or cheesecloth) let rise. (follow directions on the bag) Bread rising usually takes ALL day. I’ll get this ready at about 9:00 am to make for dinner around 6:00 pm. When risen, bake at 350 until golden brown. (follow the directions on the packaging.)  While Bread is baking, melt a cube of butter in the microwave, then add garlic and seasoning and mix. 

When the Bread is out of the oven, brush on a heavy coating of the Butter mixture. Let excellent for about 10-15 minutes slice (Bread will still be warm and will sink, it’s ok), then coat each piece with more butter mixture. Serve hot and almost gooey. 

Family’s reaction:

This Bread is a family favorite, and when my family sees it on the counter in the morning, they jump for joy. They’ll eat two whole loaves; if I made three, that would get eaten too. It’s so rich, soaked in butter and garlic. It’s heavenly! I serve this Bread with soups, Pasta, and even salads. If you watch my stories, and I hope you do, you’ve seen me make it several times while staying at home was in place. ( heck, probably one of the reasons I’ve gained 10 pounds!) 

How did it get its name? Well…Cheaters because, well, you cheating and not making the loaf from scratch! Nobody’s got time for that! Insert Giggle! Hence, I named it My Cheater’s homemade garlic bread.

 

Thank you

Thank you for stopping by and reading today’s day’s blog post. Do you love good garlic bread? I’d love for you to tell me in the comments. You can also find me on Instagram, Pinterest, Liketoknowit, Amazon shops, and Facebook.

5 make up products from 2022

January 6, 2023

Five makeup products from 2022 changed my skin’s look and how I did my makeup.

5 make up products from 2022

Hello pretty ladies, 

I hope your first week of the new year is going well. I wanted to share five makeup products that significantly changed how I did my makeup and what it did for my skin. Video HERE where you can get a visual. These five makeup products either helped give my skin a dewy/glow or helped me achieve a better or easier look. As we age, our skin loses its natural youthful glow. I found products that help achieve that glow without glitter sinking into pours. It is all about the light.

I had girlfriends comment on how good my skin was looking, and even though I will give a lot of credit to my skincare regimens, it was because of the products I added to my makeup routine that gave my skin the appearance they were noticing. 

 

✨ It’s all about the glow✨

 

Here’s what I used to get that dewy glow in 2022✨

5 make up products from 2022

Trinny London BFF serum

Trinny London BFF– de-stress-tinted skincare formula helps to reduce the appearance of everyday stress on the skin. Instantly plumped and radiated.

Use wear alone or layer for desired coverage. Great on aging skin, as it doesn’t settle into pores. 

 

5 make up products from 2022

Olivier Midy-Eclat Midy-Face oil

Olivier Midy face oil-It helps your skin and gives a beautiful glowy & dewy complexion. It allows makeup not to sink into pours and achieves that plumper, dewy completion. Apply all over after moisturizer.

See how to layer skincare HERE properly.

*Note the product is pricy, but you use very little, so it lasts a long time.

5 make up products from 2022

Charlotte Tilbury-Hollywood flawless filter

I wear  #3, fair pale, Hollywood Flawless filter

It gives you a youthful glow! This is a game changer in the glow department ✨✨✨ apply to the forehead, nose, and cheekbones before you apply your foundation or tint.

 

Charlotte Tilbury- Eyebrow set 3

Three products in one easy set!

–medium brown brow lift a pencil, 

–legendary brow= micro precision tinted brow gel

–Brow fix =brow serum gel to keep brows in place

It makes doing your eyebrows easy and fast✔️ This was something I struggled with, as I never really did anything to my brows as a teenager or later. Brows weren’t a big focus in the 90s, and mine had a natural shape. They were always very light, and so was my hair, so it never occurred to me to make them darker to frame the eye. (even in my modeling days, they never touched my brows)

Now, darker, more pronounced brows are a big trend. It’s funny how a brow style trends. I have read the thin 1990 brows are coming back. However, I will be sticking with my natural brow, darkened. The Charlotte Tilbury eyebrow pencil, tint, and gel help you to achieve easy shaping (pencil) and darkening (tinted brow gel) and stay put with the brow serum gel. 

5 make up products from 2022

Charlotte Tilbury- Filmstar Bronze & Glow

Contour and Highlight powder in light/medium/Clair-moven 

This due set comes in two sizes, so if you want to try it out, the small due is $29, Shown here. I just ordered the full size, as I love what it does for my skin. You apply as you would any highlighter on the forehead, nose, and cheekbones.

Come with us to the Ghost of Gibson at the @thegra Come with us to the Ghost of Gibson at the @thegrandamerica hotel is Salt Lake City.

@cammishappyplace and I found the perfect spot to celebrate our October birthdays.

The Gibson Lounge gets a spooky yet elegant makeover, including a seasonal menu. 
Until November 1st

Perfect for a date, girls night or to sit and enjoy a yummy cocktail or meal.

The Wednesday Adam’s Gin cocktail is full of smoky bubbles and taste delicious.

We enjoyed a mouth watering Charcuterie board, with handmade season chocolates and local artisan cheeses, Shrimp cocktail and turkey avocado sandwiches.

Because we were celebrating our October Birthdays - we each had to have a piece of chocolate cake.

If you find yourself in Salt Lake City - The Grand Hotel is a beautiful place to celebrate any occasion in luxury. 

Happy Halloween week pretty ladies🍂🎃
Two ways to wear all black. 🖤 with @cammishappypla Two ways to wear all black. 🖤 with @cammishappyplace

There’s a reason we keep coming back to a black outfit: 

it’s easy to mix and match, 
makes a simple combination feel polished, 
and gives your accessories a chance to stand out.✨

The trick? 

Mix textures, add jewelry you love, and choose shoes and a bag that give it some personality. 

All black doesn’t have to mean all boring!❌

Wear it to dinner, a concert, a celebration, or an evening out with your girlfriends. Swap the heels for flats and you’ve got a whole different feel🙌

Comment “SHOP “and we’ll send you BOTH outfit links - one for Cammi’s look and one for D’Arcy’s. 

All black 🖤 with

✨Glamour Girl✨ Halloween Dinner

You get inspiration from everything & everywhere….

I found mine for this table from  these “Versace”
Vibe plates I found at homegoods🖤✨🌸🕷️🔱🦋

I knew I wanted to create a Glamor feeling Halloween Tablescape.

Incorporating @hotskwash Shades of green handmade velvet pumpkins with real stems, they added just the right richness.
 
Using Vintage silver Teapots and coffee pots as vases, brings in that elegance of times past.

I choose fresh flowers in rich shades of pinks, and oranges, to pull out the color in the plates.

Black velvet ribbon, candle sticks and silverware, add the depth, elegance, yet a chic Halloween darkness.

Finishing touches of Gold accents, plate chargers and glasses.

With a little added webbing, a few scattered black spiders and gold butterflies, add just enough, “spook “

Who’s coming to dinner?

I’ll be serving my Spiced Cider cocktails 🍏🍸
