Shop some of my Favorite products I talk a lot about on Instagram and in stories:

Quiet a list of Empties, right? I know, I really like to try out all of the products before giving the review, to provide the product with a full chance. Sometimes, Some product gets used faster and others last a long time, which can end up with a very large Empties review. And I also like to use alike products, some of the times to be able to have a comparison to share with you. This is why there are multiple shower gels or hair care products. etc.

I get so many products sent to me and items I do purchase as well that it’s so fun to share, which I often share in unboxings in my Instagram stories. Because I always state I will test out and give you a review, I know you like them and patiently wait. Sometimes it takes me a while to get to that product and to use it all. But I genuinely try and test out, it might just take me a little longer to bring you the results. I love being a product tester and I hope you love hearing about and shopping them here on my blog. Please feel free to leave a product you want to be tested here in the comments and I’ll do my best to help a pretty lady out. Have a beautiful weekend.

10 Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspiration You Can Copy!

February 5, 2021

10 Valentine’s Day Outfit Inspiration You Can Copy! Outfit inspiration is what you’re looking for? I’ve got you covered!

I wanted to put together outfits from my Valentine’s clothing rack that I shared the other day on Instagram. You could view it HERE if you missed it. It’s a great way to help you create outfits fast and use pieces in your closet you forget about. I’ll talk more about creating a seasonal clothing rack at another time as I know from all the feedback, this is a topic you want more of. (remember I did one for Fall and Christmas)

Creating Valentin’s outfits can be as easy as grabbing your red and pink items and adding fun accessories. I’ve shown below outfit creations from old pieces I’ve collected over the years and added new pieces. These outfits were created to be easy for you to copy by shopping items in your own closet. However, I did link the outfits if you wanted to add in a few new pieces. Some items may be sold out or no longer available. If that was the case, I linked similar items.

Under each outfit, I broke it down to a “menu,” if you will, to help you grab the like items and style the look from my inspiration. I hope this inspires you to go into your closet and create a fun look or two for the month of love.

Clothing Menu:

Jumpsuit cropped blazer, beret, heart necklace, and sexy heels. (jumpsuit is Eliza J and from last year)

Clothing Menu: Leather or Snakeskin jacket, festive sweater, jegging or leggings, booties, and heart glasses.

Shop this look HERE

Clothing Menu: A jacket, Lightweight sweater, jeggings or skinny jeans, sexy heels, hoops, and festive necklace

Shop this Look HERE

Clothing Menu: Sweater, cropped jeans, lace-up heels, sunnies, and bangle bracelets

Shop this look HERE

Clothing Menu: Hat, Leather jacket, sweater, pencil skirt, heels, and bangle bracelets

Shop this Look HERE

Clothing Menu: Teddy coat, graphic tee, solid tee, pencil skirt, Sunnies, bangles, and kicks.

Shop this look HERE

Clothing Menu: Joggers, Sweater, festive heels, and Festive jewelry.

Clothing Menu: Distressed cropped jeans, open toe heels, graphic tee, blazer, and statement earrings.

Flatlay inspo: I created a shop my post below: To help you create looks from these above flat lays.

Hoping to help you get the most out of your closet, use the above closet menus and start creating your festive outfits. Did you notice some of the pieces on repeat? Good, I wanted to show you ways to wear the same item of clothing. It’s important to get multiple uses out of your purchases.

Make sure to hop over to Instagram and tune into my stories for all things Valentines and tomorrow for our Home tour collab video. Coming up on the blog next is Valentine’s home decor and tablescape. See below for more exciting happenings TODAY!

Happy Month of love.

So excited to share with you my girlfriends and their blogs. Their sharing Valentine’s themed ideas and finds. Head on over to their blogs and see what they’re sharing.

9 Things You Need For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

January 20, 2021

9 Things You Needed For Your Fitness Goals In 2021

Let’s talk about fitness

Let’s talk about fitness; not something I talk a lot about. Fitness isn’t something I talk about because, well… I don’t love it! However, s I get older, staying active is even more critical. I’m not a gym girl at all. However, I do love pilates, yoga, and weight classes.

It’s not something I do regularly, but I am trying hard to do it. Adding these in more frequently has been something I am working on. I’ve always been very flexible; this has started to change. Losing my flexibility was something I didn’t want to lose, and I have prioritized staying flexible.

Exercise I do like

I like a good walk with my hubby, friends, or family. A good hike with the girls is always fun and an adventure, and being outside in the fresh air and getting the much-needed vitamin C is how I prefer to get in my exercise.

I know how important it is to keep your flexibility and muscle mass up. This year, I am making a better attempt to add some strength training, a kettlebell, and more yoga and pilates. Adding meditation is new to me but has been much needed for my mind and spirit.

Here are a few pieces I love, perfect for workouts, hikes, and even lounging.

Above, I thought I would share some things I love and use now.

9 Things You’ll love

Lulu lemon sports bra= I love the soft fabric and support.
Lulu Lemon Legging= I love it comes in 3 lengths (I need the longest). Firstly, these are not see-through like some of the Lululemons I’ve had before. Instead, the fabric is butter soft and holds you in.
Yoga mat= I love everything about this mat, the feel, the comfort, and the design.
Northface jacket= I love a puffer jacket, and it is much needed in Utah. Winter and even Spring walks can be very chilly. Warm, comfortable, and stylish.
Water bottle= I love the timelines marked to keep me on track. Drinking a lot of water daily has always been important to me, and this helps.
Kettelbell= 10 pounds, not a ton of weight, but it gives you a good workout.
Meditation cushion= perfect for that quiet time. I love the look and comfort.
Collagen powder= is So essential for your joints and benefits your hair, nails, and skin.
Walking shoes= are so affordable and comfortable. I love the style and comfort.

Collagen is something everyone needs, but even more critical as we age. I add it to my coffee or tea in the morning. I have seen a massive difference in my hair, nails, and, most importantly, my knees.

Yoga is excellent for flexibility, core strength, and your mind. If your weather is nice, try it outside, I promise you’ll love the sense of peace. Not to mention the importance of Vitamin C. Grab a girlfriend if you need a little nudge. (I use a Yoga class on Youtube) You only need 15-30 mins a day to see results. Here’s one I like HERE. For a successful Meditation, you only need 10-15 min daily. Meditation HERE

Also happy to share my blogging Friends with you today. Please hop over to their blogs to see ways they get into fitness!

Holiday Outfit Ideas for 2020

December 9, 2020

Holiday Outfit Idea’s for 2020, well, really for any Holiday year! So whether you’re playing it casual, Holiday shopping, staying in Pj’s or getting festive for a small Holiday party. I created Holiday outfit inspirations. Therefore, you should be able to shop your closet or add some new pieces to your Holiday wardrobe collection.

Holiday wardrobe

I say Holiday wardrobe collection, well, because it’s good to have a collection of fun Holiday pieces that you can add to every year and mix and match with current pieces to create new looks. And it should be looked at like building a wardrobe because building a Holiday wardrobe gives you a great collection to create outfits with ease. I have had some of the pieces for years, and I love pulling them all out year after year and seeing how I can wear it this year. Because looking festive for the whole season is not only fun but creates more cheer!

I hope this post really inspires you to dig in your closet and see if you have “like items” to help you create a fun Holiday outfit. As I said, a lot of my pieces are older and not shoppable, but I will create a shop this post for the items you can still purchase if you want to add a couple of pieces into your Holiday outfit collection.

I was wearing a green dress from Eliza J’s Holiday collection last year in the photos above. (photo this year) Shop this season’s dresses BELOW. You really could use any Green or red dress, layer with an oversize cardigan or boyfriend cardigan (black and white buffalo check is a shirt/jacket), tall boots, and a beanie to create this look. Perfect for Holiday lunch with the girlfriends, Helping out for Holiday school parties, or switch the boots for heels and add festive jewelry for a festive party look.

Holiday Sparkle

Here are a couple of dressed-up sparkly outfits, just if you are attending something a little more festive. I know this year’s Holiday party situation might look a little different. Therefore, it doesn’t mean you can’t get dolled up. I am one that is always a game for being overdressed! (hehe) I also am game for hosting a small Holiday party; let’s face it, we all need cheer! Both of these looks are still available:) Shop the post below:

Holiday Pj’s and Loungewear

This sure has been the year of loungewear and pj’s! Christmas pj’s have always been a family tradition since I was a child, and I continued the tradition with my family. We don’t necessarily have matching pj’s, just festive. Above I showed a couple of ways you could take your pj’s and loungewear to the next Holiday level. By adding fun winter and holiday accessories, it’s not just pj’s. It’s a PJ outfit! By outfit, I do not mean appropriate to wear shopping! (hehe)

The plaid pj’s are still available to shop, and I found some “like” items if you don’t already have something similar. Shop below:

Casual Holiday

More of you have stated you take the casual approach to Holiday outfit looks. Above I created several Holiday flat lays to inspire you. As I stated above, I like to dress all month festively, from running errands to attending a girl’s lunch, helping out at school, or shopping. You’ll catch me in one of these looks.

Really easy to create and even easier to wear. Most of these looks are created with a base of jeans and a sweatshirt, then layered with seasonal accessories to give them the festive vibe. Note the jewelry, shoes and winter beanies, gloves, and scarves. As a result, give that Holiday winter vibe.

See why collecting is a must? A couple of tips for a good collection. For instance, look for sale items (even after the holiday, when everything is on sale!) Perfect time to grab items to stash away in your Holiday box. Yes! I said Box. Like our Holiday decor, create a Holiday clothing and accessory box! You only use those pieces for the Holiday’s so why take up valuable space in your closet year-round. Plus, it helps keep all your items together to create fun looks fast. Another great Tip is to Grab a great festive ribbon and use it as a belt. The ribbon is cheaper than purchasing a bow belt, and you can create a couple of them! For instance, the Large red ribbon belt I created above, so festive and really completed the outfit and just for a couple of bucks.

Shop Like items below:

I hope you enjoyed some of my Holiday outfits for 2020 and left you inspired to create some festive looks this season. Now go check out my girlfriend’s blogs below for even more inspiration. Have a wonderful week, and make sure to add some cheer into your week. OX, D’Arcy

How to Keep your Immunity Up This Season!

November 23, 2020

How to Keep your Immunity Up This Season, Supplements for immunity!

TALKING Immune System and staying Healthy in these times. Sharing these tips with you to HELP you and your family stay healthy this SEASON. I know many people are scared in these times, and I want to share HOW I keep my family healthy and keep their immune systems up, especially in these times. Using Supplements for immunity boosts.

Shop Supplements for immunity shown above HERE

How to Keep your Immunity Up This Season and what Supplements for immunity we use.

My family and I take vitamin D3 and C plus magnesium to absorb the D3 And immunity boosters like Elderberry. If I feel drained, I’ll take zinc (my family too) with Echinacea. I also love Oscillococcinum HERE (I have used this product for over 8 years & it stops a cold in its tracks!) I have shared this product over the years here and on Instagram.

Now, I have traveled every month since May. Taking travel precautions and following safety guidelines, of course, and keeping my immunities up. Keeping with this regimen, I haven’t gotten sick. I’ve Been to NYC, California, AZ, Nv, Tx, MT., and Id! I’ve been in planes, trains, subways, taxis, and even a boat. Having been able to live my life, support small businesses and stay healthy. I know taking these supplements and following these simple healthy tips are a BIG part of why my family and I have stayed healthy. Getting outside for 15 to 20 min a day to absorb sunlight and natural vitamin D. It is also essential to exercise, 20 to 30 minutes, even a quick walk will help, and remember to eat healthily. This may seem really basic but very important to overall health and keeps your immune system high.

My High schooler ( who has a low immune system) has been sent home for two weeks, twice, because he was exposed 😭 to Covid19 (never getting sick). Even his girlfriend was exposed, her whole family got Covid. Therefore she had to come to stay with us for two weeks…Our family remained healthy. (every time we were possible exposed, we did take the recommended precautions to keep others safe) We remained healthy through all of these cases; Now, we don’t believe this was just luck. Because we truly believe it is as simple as what you put into your body.

Tips🚨 I learned that are very important:

Magnesium is VERY, VERY important! I learned this years ago from my hormone Dr and thought it’s so important to share. Magnesium is needed to absorb the D3…we’re all very low on D3…and even more so if in Menopause and where you live is a factor! Did you know 80% of covid patients had a vitamin D deficiency? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Who knew… I’ve been taking the Magnesium and Vitamin D3 regimen for 4 years…Also, important to know when purchasing a Vit D, it needs to have the 3.

Hopefully, this will encourage you to try some of our regimens, and I hope sharing our regimen can help you & your family stay healthy. OX, D’Arcy

I’d love you to follow me over there; I am sure you’ll love what I am sharing. Now for some October Fall Favorites: Fashion and Home.

Each season I add some new pieces to my wardrobe, as I am sure you do too. I like to add pieces that work well with items I already own and pieces that I happened to be purchasing, which is a great little wardrobe capsule. The pieces I purchased this year here on the rack happened to all work together perfectly for mixing and matching. You could literally pack all these pieces for a trip and be set for any activity. These pieces I will be styling all Fall season and into Winter for you, so please stay tuned for styling inspiration.

Traveling in the Fall has always been one of my favorite things to do as well. Seeing other cities, exploring the beauty of their Fall always gets me in the Fall spirit. Here I styled some of the pieces I shared above, just perfect for Fall in Central Park. Shop the Look HERE

This year I decorated my back deck. See all the photo’s on my Instagram HERE. We sit on our back deck a lot for Coffee in the Am to cocktails in the evening. So I decided, Why not Decorate for my Favorite time of the year back there as well. Let me tell you; it has been one of my October Fall Favorites! Shop the photo HERE

Fall Decorating to dress up the front porch entryway. I can’t pass up a pumpkin or mums this time of the year. Seriously kept adding until I can add no more…then I move to a new place I can add. I love grabbing the large potted mums at Costco as they’re a steal at $14, and if Costco has pumpkins, it’s great to grab those there as well, normally flat $5 same with Target $5 for any size med or large. For the specialty White, Cinderella, I grab at the Pumpkin patch, well, because I need to go to the pumpkin patch every year! It’s one of my October favorite things for sure.

Fall Favorite Foods:

The taste of the season is definitely all things pumpkin. Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin scones, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies (my easy chocolate chip Pumpkin cookie recipe link below), Of course, Apple pie and yummy soups and bread always hit the spot on chilly cold Fall day’s. Check out some of the recipes I linked below from my kitchen. Below I added some of our family’s favorite ready-made snacks and a great creamer for a fast Pumpkin spiced latte.

Fall vibes 2020, Fashion Trends

September 10, 2020

Fall Fashion is one of my favorites. Sweaters, layers, and all things cozy have me excited for cooler days and all things pumpkin.

I thought I’d share with you what I felt was going to bring on All the Fall Vibes this 2020.

For the last couple of Fall seasons, we’ve been seeing leopard and Camo making substantial presents, and it’s not going away for 2020. This theme happens to be my Theme/series week on Instagram; I hope you’ve been checking out my posts! HERE.

Fall vibes 2020 has some of the Fall basics, like plaids, flannels, puffer vests, and puffer jackets, but this year we are going to be seeing a lot of Capes & ponchos.

This Gucci inspired Poncho is unfortunately sold out. Check back as when it restocks, I’ll post this fun Fall vibe look.

Buffalo check is one of my all-time favorites & this Poncho is a Must and a steal.🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

From Walmart Fashion HERE Pair with your favorite jeans and booties for a pulled together and easy Fall look.

fall vibes 2020 fashion trends you’ll love, puff sleeve

Puff sleeves on shirts and dresses (think puffy or pouf sleeves, hem details, and ruffles). I love the feminine touch; it gives our fall outfits. Spices up simple dresses and tops for that unique detail we love. We love to pair with basic denim for a comfortable outfit that has Spice.

Here are a few I fell in love with🍁🍂👇🏻🍁🍂

Finding the perfect Fall coat is not to difficult…. It’s right here, the perfect Camel coat! Wear it with anything and look so chic and stylish no matter what you have on underneath. Some of my favorites below.

Everyone Needs the perfect Camel coat in any length.

Denim Flared Jeans $89 Here

I adore the Hem and look great with chunky sweaters to blazers and everything in between.

Flared Jeans are making a big statement, Another one of my picks HERE bringing us that 70’s vibe, along with Fringe details on jackets to purses. Adding that fun detail that makes you want to swing that fringe around!

I am loving the fringe detail showing up on the booties, too, adding a little western for Fall 2020 vibes. Pairing a feminine top with pretty sleeves and cropped wide-leg jean gives you a great balance.

I know Fashion for 2020 this far has been a lot of loungewear and cozy at home pieces. I don’t see that really changing, but I do see us moving more towards street style and adding those fun fashion pieces that are easy to wear and move in while adding in some style. You can be comfortable wearing and looking suitable for a zoom session. Let’s face it…it is fun to get dressed even if our social life is a little different.

Now grab a couple of fun New Fall pieces and head out to lunch with the girls, have a date with hubby, go for a drive or make a coffee date… your New Fall Fashions will be itching to wear all season long.

Fall is the perfect time to change up your home decor. I adore all things Fall, Pumpkins, the yummy scents of Fall, Spiced apples, cinnamon, pumpkin, leaves falling, cozy blankets, cute mugs, and collecting Pumpkins. Here are some of my favorite items for your home to give your home all the Fall vibes for 2020.
