Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes

December 8, 2021

Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes!Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes

My favorite time of the year is finally here- Though admittedly, I’ve been decorating for the holidays since the beginning of November. (Annual Holiday Home Tour is Saturday on Instagram) Don’t worry, and I’ll be adding Decor ideas and this year’s Holiday Decor look HERE on the blog Sunday!

Our Chit Chat Chic Girls had a fun chat yesterday about some random holiday items, and we thought that would make for a great blog post. Quick & easy to read with some fun get to know us Holiday items. Do you do a red lip or red nails? A cookie swap? Have a favorite dish you take on repeat? Are you ready for the Holiday, or have you finished Christmas shopping? Do you host a party? Typical questions you ask your girlfriends, and that’s what we all are, right? Girlfriends… So join us in sharing our conversation. All of us answered the questions on TODAY’S blog post…I hope you enjoy the conversation! (make sure to check out Cindy, Lisa, Michelle’s  blogs today.) 

Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes

Let’s get to the Christmas Chic Chat…

1. Do I do a Red Lip? I have tried it, and I look like a hooker!! But I have friends, and my sister sport a red lip and looks fab. So, one Red that did work for me is by Tom Ford that I can pull off with my big lips that look good, and I wear it only this time of the year and in February.

 

 

2. Do I wear Red or Holiday Nails? I sure do love a good Red with Blue undertones, not orange. However, I love Holiday Nails as well. In November, I started sporting Red Nails, and I just had a Holiday manicure done on Monday!

 

Christmas Chit Chat and a Couple Recipes

3. Are you done with your Shopping? Yes, Yes… I am!

4. Do you Host a Holiday Party? I host a small girlfriend’s party year every year. A sit-down dinner, yummy drinks, and everyone bring a “Favorite thing” gift for an exchange. Personally, I like the smaller group to be able to chat, spend time catching up with each other. 

 I threw a BIG Holiday cocktail party every year, and it just got too Big. It was fun, but we’ve moved past those times in our lives and love things scaled-down and spending quality time with those we love on a smaller scale. Hence the tiny Girlfriend Party was born. 

I also Host Christmas Eve, Christmas Morning, and Christmas Dinner! It brings me great joy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. If you do not have anyone to spend it with, you are welcome at our home, As a full house at Christmas is a blessing. 

5. What’s your Favorite “go-to” Christmas Holiday Appetizer? I have made this crescent roll dill cream cheese Appetizer for years, and it comes highly requested! Recipe HERE

easy appetizer to make fast

6. Have you ever hosted a cookie swap? I have not. But I have Hosted a gingerbread house decorating party several times, and it’s an enjoyable party to have. 

7. Favorite Christmas cookie? I love Shortbread my recipe HERE, and I adore German Rasberry thumbprint cookies made by Vera (my mom’s friend and client). These are massive labor of love, and she would make us 3-4 cookies each every year until we moved to Utah. ( My mom has the recipe, and I will get it for you)

Some of my favorite Baking items:

8. Have you purchased a New Piece of clothing you are excited about this season? Really? Who are we talking too:) I am in love with this Sequined Duster, I purchased it in the Fall for the Holiday season, and it is back in stock! It is perfect for dressing up any outfit and great for NYE.

7 Beauty Products I Used Up

November 24, 2021

7 Beauty Products I Used Up

7 Beauty Products I Used Up

My honest review of the product I’ve used up over the last couple of months. 7 beauty products I have purchased on repeat and worth giving a try.

1. Tula Purifying Face Cleanser = Probiotic gel-based cleanser removes dirt and impurities and makeup gently and effectively. Use morning and night.  I have been using this product for over two years and love how it cleans my face. Not drying and indeed removes all makeup while leaving my skin feeling clean and fresh.  This is a purchase again, in my book product. 

2. Tula 24-7 Moisture= Hydrating day & night cream leaves my skin feeling hydrated without oily. In addition, it helps my dry skin. As I have aged, my skin has gotten dryer and needs this product. I have also been using this product for the last couple of years. I use it in my morning routine. 

3. Tula Balanced Beauty Gummy Vitamins= Probiotics and superfood Gummie vitamins for solid hair, skin & nails. These Berry-flavored gummies taste great, and with Biotin & Folic Acid, I noticed a difference in my hair and skin. This product is my 3rd bottle, and I used it for three months to make sure I was giving it an honest review and to provide the product with a chance to see if it worked as it claimed. I will continue to use it. 

4. Tula So Pumpkin Exfoliating Sugar Scrub= This gentle sugar & fruit enzyme scrub with pumpkin smells amazing, improves skins texture, helps unclog pores, and leaves your skin feeling so soft and radiant. If you love the smell of pumpkin and like smooth, soft skin, you’ll love this product. I highly recommend it. 

5. Loreal Sublime Bronze self-tanning water mousse= A natural-looking tan in 4-6 hours, doesn’t have that yucky self-tanner smell, doesn’t streak, is so easy to use. Affordable and my go-to self-tanner.

6. SeroVital Suddenly Smooth Gentle RetinAll=Anti Wrinkle, visibly lifting cream for mature skin. 2% Retinol Compound Epidermal growth factor. You can use this product day and night if followed with sunscreen. It was gentle enough and not drying like a lot of products that contain Retinol. Although I did like this product for my neck, I did avoid using it on my cheeks, which tend to be dryer. 

7.  Serovital TriHydrate Concentrate= 3% Purified Hyaluronic Acid use Am or Pm before moisturizing. Hyaluronic Acid is an ingredient everyone should use in their skincare.  

HOLIDAY SALE CODES:

Tula= 25% off and EXTRA 15% off with DARCY15 

Serovital = FRIDAY30 for 30% off

How to Create an easy Thanksgiving Dining Tablescape

Drink station

Our kitchen coffee & cocoa bar. Who doesn’t love a warm drink in the winter?

How to Create an easy Thanksgiving Dining Tablescape:

I wanted to share our How to Create an easy Thanksgiving Dining Tablescape setting with you. Because it’s not the traditional Fall feel with leaves and pumpkins, I went with a winter white, silver, and gold theme. And it feels elegant and warm. To give it a Thanksgiving feel, I picked up this fun silver pheasant from Target and added antlers and wooden details.

     How to Create an easy Thanksgiving Dining Tablescape: Adding items 

TIP: for adding layers to your Thanksgiving Dining Tablescape, find items around your home that work in your color/theme. Please pay attention to heights; find items from low to high, but not too high that you can’t see around it. I love pieces that are general and don’t scream a certain holiday so that you can use them more often. It helps for easy collecting because of items like glass, mercury glass, and solid colors like gold, silver, white, and red (red works for Christmas, Valentine’s day, and Summer). Pieces that give your table a glow like candles, votives, and candlesticks are great pieces to collect. 

        How to Create an easy Thanksgiving Dining Tablescape: Adding Layers

TIP: I love to share is to layer your tablecloth; this works great if you don’t have the perfect size for your Thanksgiving Dining Tablescape. Here I used a large plain white tablecloth that fits the table and to add a pop of design. I used the gold stripe meant for a smaller table, but you wouldn’t notice it doesn’t fit the table because of the layering. I also like to layer different tablecloths of different sizes if you don’t have one that fits! Just remember they need to be in the same color family for it to work.

Our table is for 8, yet I always buy everything in sets of 12. I do this in case anything breaks, or if I have extra people, we can make a kid table for 4 at our kitchen island. It is also because I am a little bit of a collector….(my boys are going to hate me when I die!)

I love collecting things to entertain and make life beautiful; I can throw any party at a moment’s notice because of the pieces I’ve collected over the years! So If you want to build your entertaining collection, keep following along with me. I plan on sharing more of my entertaining tips and collections with you as I have had so many of you ask for me to share this part of my life. Would you like a list of my basic entertaining starter kit? This would be the must-have items and then be able to build from that. *If so, please leave a comment below.

I love Thanksgiving and spending time with family and friends over good food, and I know you do too! So next time, make it a beautiful experience and share your love over a beautifully designed table; there is no better way to show off the hard work you spent in the kitchen. TIP: You can build your perfect table-scape weeks before to take the pressure off.

Shop some of my favorite Tablescape essentials:

May you have a beautiful Thanksgiving, yummy food, and a great time with your family and friends. We’ll be having a Friendsgiving as all of our family is out of town. Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours! OX, D’Arcy

 

PS: Are you excited for Black Friday, or do you stay home and put up Christmas? This is my first year not in retail for the Holidays, and I can’t tell you how excited I am! I’ll be staying at home to decorate and enjoy my family. I will be shopping a little online, and I can’t wait to share with you all the deals I found this week for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday! My DEAL post will go live tonight at MIDNIGHT!

Easy Cheesy Scallop Potatoe Recipe, Most Requested

November 6, 2021

Easy Cheesy Scallop Potatoe Recipe, Most requested side dish by my family and friends. 

Easy Cheesy Scallop Potato Recipe, Most Requested

Easy Cheesy Scallop Potatoe Recipe: 

4-5 LG potatoes sliced thin

1 can cheese soup

1/2 cup whip cream (unsweetened) 

1 cup milk

1 cube of butter sliced

Cup green onions

2teaspoons salt

2teaspoons pepper

2 teaspoons season salt

1 tablespoon garlic

1teaspoon garlic seasoning

2 cup shredded cheese ( I use Mexican cheese)

 1 sprayed casserole dish

Add all ingredients ( except potatoes, green onions, 1 cup of shredded cheese, butter) 

Into a bowl, mix well.

In an oiled casserole dish 

 

To Make: Easy Cheesy Scallop Potato Recipe:

Add a thin layer of potatoes, then a light layer of a mixture poured over potatoes, covering,  add a couple of slices of butter, repeat… adding a layer of potatoes, then add mixture on top… top with the 1 cup of shredded cheeses sprinkles with green onions.

Cover with foil, place on a cookie sheet, and bake 50-60 min. Uncover, cook until the top is golden brown.

Ovens range in heat… adjust heat to your oven and time May very, due to oven. 

Make sure potatoes are almost done before uncovering.

*If serving a large crowd, I’ll double or triple batch and use a large disposable tin pan! 

These are such a hit at every gathering, from Family dinner, thanksgiving, and Christmas, that I never have leftovers!

– olive oil ( enough to coat the pan)

-1. 15.5oz chili beans with sauce

-1  15.5oz kidney beans ( drained/ rinsed)

-1= 15.5oz pinto beans (drained /rinsed)

-1 green pepper diced 

-1 red pepper diced 

-1 =29oz tomato sauce

-1 chili seasoning pack 

-1 tablespoon chili powder (a little less if you don’t like a touch of heat)

-1/2 tablespoon chili pepper flakes 

-1/2 teaspoon onion salt

-1 Tablespoon minced garlic

-1 Tablespoon dried onion

-1/2 cup about ( enough to coat all the Turkey) Kitchen bouquet browning sauce (when browning ground Turkey, add to meat)  

-Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 cup water or chicken broth (only if too thick) depending on how you like your Chili, you can add a little water)

How to:

Brown Turkey in olive oil, add kitchen bouquet, brown onion. Set aside

In a crockpot or large pan on the stovetop, add all ingredients above ( except water), stir, and add turkey and onions. Let simmer on low, stirring occasionally. 

Crockpot on low if making in, am for dinner… if only a couple of hours can be on a high. 

On a stovetop, simmer low.

Add water if needed. (we like our Chili a little thicker)

Enjoy with cornbread, saltines, Frech fries, or Fritos. Great on a baked potato. (as shown on Bar above)

I love to serve with all the toppings on the side.

Onions, tomatoes, cheese, bacon, sour cream, hot sauce, jalapeños

—3 WAYS TO STYLE— The best tip any stylist could —3 WAYS TO STYLE—

The best tip any stylist could give you…
Is when your shopping and something catches your eye, make sure you can style it or wear it 3 ways.

This helps you get more use out of your closet, which also helps you  to create different outfit with items you already own.

How cute is this babydoll eyelet lace dress, with v neck and slightly puffed sleeve. An affordable find that can be styled so many ways. 

I created 3 easy to style with this great summer to fall transition dress. 

1. Coastal- shell necklace, raffia sandals with a straw bag
2. A little western with red cowboy boots, a scarf, Horsebit necklace, and a cowboy hat 
3. Work wear- styled with a blazer,cane and leather kitten heals and a cane clutch with tortoiseshell chain handle
