Nail art, Manicures and mugs!

March 30, 2018

Hello Beautiful’s

Today I thought I would share some of my nail art, manicures and some of my mug collection with you. If you have been following me for awhile on social media you know I love having cute nails and that I have an obsession with white, black and gold mugs. I hope you enjoy this quick little post and get some inspiration for your next manicure. (make sure to pin some idea’s to your Pinterest boards)

I have been collecting my manicure pictures for the last couple years with the idea of bringing you this post. It just so happened that several of my cute mugs I’ve been collecting also made it in. Seriously I can’t pass up cute mugs (my hubby joke’s we don’t need any more mugs! Although he’s the one that is always breaking my favorite ones!! (my Chanel mug…Missing)

My nail art over the years has been a mixture of Acrylic, Gel and nail polish. I have had 2 manicurist since moving to Utah 12 years ago. My First manicurist Sheridan I had for 10 years until she had to go and have babies! (cry) She did acrylic and hand painted the nail art. She is so talented and most of these photo’s is her work. I love how thin and natural she made the acrylic and I could throw any idea at her and she could paint it. My Manicurist now is Tiffany, she does gel nails and keeps my nails and toes looking clean, polished and natural looking with on trend colors. She really is about color and your natural shape nail and doesn’t do much nail art. Both of their style’s I love and am happy to have been able to have found manicurist that can give me the looks I want while keeping my nails healthy & stylish.

Do you love having cute nails? Are you a nail art girl or a simple polish look girl? Do you like natural shape, square or pointy and is your style short, long or pointy? Gel, Dip, Acrylic or polish? I would love for you to comment your nail style! Tell me…comment below:)

Happy Good Friday….Go treat yourself to a manicure or pedicure! Wishing you a wonderful Easter weekend. Ox, D’Arcy

I thought since I brought up… I show you a quick little peek at some of my mug collection.

5 Way’s to wear Camo pants

March 28, 2018

Hello Beautiful’s,

Today I want to share a couple of fun tips with you!

Styling a pair of Camo pant’s 5 ways and different looks you can achieve with Camo pant’s, from casual to dressy. I love it when you can get different looks from one piece of clothing and I often tell my clients to think of more then one way to wear a piece of clothing before they purchase it. This really does help with over purchasing and finding piece you’ll get a lot of use out of.

Tips to camo….. First off you don’t have to stick to its Olive & black color theme. In the first photo I did a playful outfit with a colorful fur vest! (that $8 deal I told you about in instastory!) The trick to this look is I anchored the bold vest with neutral black turtleneck and boots. The other tip is the vest had 2 of the colors in it as the camo, olive and black! This helps 2 patterns to play together.

2nd outfit giving camo pants a dressier feel! Camo has a bit of a casual and weekend feel, but you can dress it up like I did here with pairing it with a chic black leather jacket, black turtle neck or sweater, and fun accessories and classic shoes.

3rd outfit is a great Winter weekend or casual outfit. Stripes with camo works when the stripe is bolder and has 1 color of the camo in it. In this case it’s a bold Black stripe. Paired with Winter accessories this gives a fun and playful vibe.

4th outfit is a fun way to add some Spring to your camo pants. I paired with a gingham off the shoulder top and an olive duster vest. The solid olive duster vest is what grounds the two patterns. Wearing the gingham and camo together only, you wouldn’t achieve the same look. Don’t have a olive duster? Think Olive jacket, vest or cardigan.

5th outfit is casual and piece’s everyone owns! Denim jacket, saying tee, Tennis shoes. Great look for a sports game, running kids around or shopping. This is a look that you can easily achieve and what makes it fun is the bold cuff bracelet.

A lot of these pieces are old and sold out but I am linking some similar pieces below along with some great sale items and SALES. Look in your closet and see what you have to try and copy one of the looks (or ALL)….Doesn’t have to be exact, Fashion is fun so play around with it.

Do you have a question on styling or have an idea you would love to see in a post? Please leave a comment below and I would be happy to help.

I hope you have a wonderful week and be inspired to wear some camo! OX, D’Arcy

Shopping my looks:

Similar items: Muti colored vest 1 & vest 2 on sale, Camo jeggings, black turtle neck on Sale, Sorel boots, North face boots, olive duster vest or this vest and this Darling Jacket, saying tee’s My Humble tee’s, Gingham shirt and some fun Spring pieces @BCBG and their having a huge 50% off Sale and Shopbop is having up to 70% off sale.

Microneedling To Transform your skin & Help with Fine Lines!

March 19, 2018

Microneedling to Transform your skin & Help with Fine Lines! Shown here my First Micro-needling, no makeup

1st micro-needling procedure. They suggest a series of 3

After 1st micro-needling procedure. Pink like sunburn and a little peeling.

Day after 1st Micro-needling. Pinkness is gone and no peeling. My skin was glowing!

2nd series micro-needling procedure

3rd series micro-needling procedure before

3rd series micro-needling procedure after, We went deeper than the 2 times before! My face looked very red and felt like a sunburn. Also, a little peeling.

3rd in the series micro-needling procedure Day after! Redness is gone, no peeling, and my black dot in my brown spot are gone. Brown spot smaller!

The Finished series of 3 micro-needling, 1 week later, no filter taken in sunlight. My skin is clearer, my brown spot is smaller, and the black spot went out of the center! My skin is dryer than normal; however, I learned this would disappear in a couple more weeks. I think overall, my skin looks clearer and less blotchy.

Skin texture after the 3 part series was finished! No filter

I had the opportunity to work with Lashed in South Ogden to experience the new trend in facials Microneedling. They should not be confused with the Vampire facial, which is similar but different because they apply a serum after the procedure with micro-needling. But after the vampire facial, they apply your own blood that has had the plasma spun. And a vampire facial has to be done by a doctor, where micro-needling needs to be done by a certified professional. I really enjoyed working with Lashed to learn more about the process.

Microneedling is a facial. It is not plastic surgery. You ask: “Then what is Microneedling? The micro-needling treatment uses a handheld needle pen to create controlled depth micro-injuries to the skin. As a result, This stimulates the skin’s natural repair process to produce collagen and elastin. Microneedling can transform your skin by increasing collagen, reducing wrinkles, shrinking pore size, decreases acne scars, even skin tone, and improve overall skin texture.

You can treat and improve many conditions with the micro-needling, such as:

-Mild to moderate acne scarring

-fine lines and wrinkles

-loose & lax skin

-skin tone and texture

-Pore size

-Sun-damaged skin

-Superficial pigmentation

-Hypo-pigmentation

-Surgical scars

-Stretch mark

-Hair loss

Depending on your goals and what problem you’re trying to fix will depend on how many treatments you’ll need. A single procedure will make a nice change, but a series of 3-6 treatments is ideal for optimal results. And Within 2 weeks, you will start to see a change that will continue for 3 months. Of course, some treatments like hair loss or stretch marks take the 6 treatments and a little while longer to see the results. Still, with minimal downtime, 12-24 hours, your skin will love you!

“Does it hurt?” You have a numbing cream applied for about 20 minutes before the procedure, and I have to say I was nervous; however, it really didn’t hurt. Because the machine’s noise sounds like going to the dentist, if that noise bothers you, you might want earplugs, but otherwise, it’s pretty quick and feels like a microdermabrasion facial. (a little sandy)

“What did I notice”… I noticed my brown spot with a black center faded a little after each process and by the 3rd was noticeably smaller and lighter. However, my skin got even dryer, and lines appeared on my cheeks, which I learned happens to some people and is part of rebuilding collagen. I was told it would go away, and my skin will be tighter in a couple of months! My skin glowed for a couple of days after the procedure, which I loved. As a result, my skin has a clearer complexion, smaller lines around my eyes and lips (I am a straw user).

“Would I recommend and would I do it again?” I would recommend this procedure to anyone looking to improve skin. And I will do this procedure again, However not every 6 weeks, but I would do it to replace a professional facial, which I do every couple of months. So, therefore, to maintain, I would do it a couple of times a year, thinking quarterly.

“How many times is recommended for a series?” For example, the first time a series of 3, unless used for hair loss or stretch marks, 4 to 6 is needed. After that, a series is done 5-6 weeks apart from each other.

Recommended Maintenance can be done every 6-9 weeks.

Price? $150 per session, but you may purchase a 3 pack for $400, so it’s a savings of $50

I hope you enjoyed this information and that you may have glowing skin at any age!

Have you noticed your social media feed, office, or local coffee shop filling up with women dressed in red today – International Women’s Day. A movement encouraging women to wear red to show their solidarity with the movement “The day without woman” normally International woman’s day is represented with color’s of White, green & purple. But red is taken over to call attention to what it would be like without woman for one day. Read more here.

International Women’s Day is a worldwide event that celebrates women’s achievements – from the political to the social – while calling for gender equality. It has been observed since the early 1900s and is now recognized each year on March 8.

It is not affiliated with any one group, but brings together governments, women’s organizations, corporations and charities. The day is marked around the world with arts performances, talks, rallies, networking events, conferences and marches.

“A strong call to #PressforProgress. A strong call to motivate and unite friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.” Read more Here

Trending Hash tags

#metoo =The hashtag is in support of all women who have been sexually harassed by someone.

#timesup =Legal Defense Fund provides subsidized legal support to those who have experienced sexual harassment, assault, or abuse in the workplace. TIME’S UP.

#pressforprogress = A strong call to motivate and unite friends, colleagues and whole communities to think, act and be gender inclusive in the work place.

#adaywithoutawoman =The goal is to highlight the economic power and significance that women have in the US and global economies, while calling attention to the economic injustices women and gender nonconforming people continue to face. We play an indispensable role in the daily functions of life in all of society, through paid & unpaid, seen & unseen labor.

#BeBoldForChange = IWD campaign theme to rally for equal pay, created by the USA woman’s hockey team.

To help make a difference it’s great to support Woman owned business and purchase products that give back to the cause. Slogan tee’s, Mugs and Journal’s are just a few of the items I have been seeing. Here’s a few of my favorite’s

Take time today to thank the woman in your life and maybe grab some lunch to celebrate “girl power” with a girlfriend. I am excited to say I will be spending the day with one of my long time girlfriend’s Meagan and we have some fun things in store after my tv segment Lunch, a Fashion show at Anthropologie and a night in Salt lake city.

It’s so important to have good girlfriends they make a great support team and even more important to spend some girl time with them…A little time away from your your family I believe makes you a better mom and wife. A little time for yourself is a much needed little break and what better way then with a good girlfriend!

So I hope you take sometime out for yourself today (even if it’s a bath)! OX, D’Arcy

I was lucky enough to work with Diamond Peak Mountain Sports in Eden to bring you this fun collection of 2018-2019 Winter snow boots by Sorel and The North Face. I love supporting local and small business they always have fun and unique items you won’t alway’s find at big box stores. The customer service and attention to detail at this fun Sport shop is amazing and is just one of the reasons this little shop is celebrating 25 years in business.

Winter snow boots have come along way over the years, not just functionable they’re fashionable too. Waterproof, lined to keep your feet warm but have style you can wear with any street outfit. Above you will find some of my favorite picks from 2018 and a couple from the 2019 collection.

Can I tell you I am loving the Joanie lace, A wedge snow boot perfect for a snowy night on the town! Who would every think this was a Sorel snow boot? I love the fashion and Functionality of this cute little boot. (I’ll be pre-ordering a pair!)

Every little girl will want the Shades of pink mini Joan of arch Sorel boot coming out next winter. I predict this little number will sell out fast when it hits the sales floor.

The Cozy Joan, Winter Fancy Lace, Woman’s Shellista and Thermoball are all a great mid Ankle snow boot perfect for after skiing, walking around in snowy weather yet can be perfect with jeans and a sweater on a chilly day. Waterproof and cozy warm you’re feet will love you. Gone are the days of Chunky unfashionable not to mention ugly Snow boots. (1989 white snow cats by Sorel comes to mind) I know I am showing my age.

The Slimpack Riding Tall II Sorel boot is one of my favorite boots in Sorel’s line. Simple yet sleek! At first you don’t even realize this is a snow boot. It looks just like a chic riding boot! Slim & tall with cute 2 buckle back detail, this functional boot can be worn all winter long with any street outfit, yet can be dressed up for a date night out in the cold! Waterproof so it’s perfect for rain and sleet, this stylish boot isn’t just for the snow.

22nd Wedding anniversary outfit & date night!

February 24, 2018

Our 22nd Anniversary is tomorrow February 25th.

I am so lucky to have been able to spend 25 year’s with my dream man. We dated for 3 years before we got married on that Winter storm day 22 years ago. The day that changed my life forever. I got to marry MY dream man and spend forever with the person who “got me” who made me feel safe and supported my dreams and goals. Had the same morals and we fit, we’re better people for having each other. He’s my perfect lid as the saying goes…I truly believe everyone has a perfect lid for there pot…if you wait your’s will cross your path in Gods perfect timing.

People say Marriage is hard…..hmmm I would answer “depends on who you marry!” Marriage in my experience has been a wonderful, loving, joyful and caring endeavor. Don’t get me wrong Life is hard… not marriage. Life isn’t always roses and butterflies we all have hard issues that come up. Whether it’s your health, finances, children issues and even families. There’s always things that take us on life’s roller coaster, it’s who’s on the ride with you that can make marriage easy or hard. When you find that perfect lid, getting through life’s hard times can make it easier. I can honestly say we’re lucky…we don’t fight or bicker and rarely disagree. We seem to have always been on the same page and truly like each other. He’s my best friend and I enjoy spending time with him. I couldn’t imagine life without him. Still to this day he gives me butterflies when he walks through that door!

Hitting 22 years of marriage is a true blessing. In today’s age 50% of marriages won’t make it to 10. I really think being able to grow together as we age is one of the tickets. Taking time for our relationship along the journey helps you stay connected to each other. It’s hard to take time for yourself and your relationship when raising a family and both working full time. It’s something you must do. Going on dates, little getaway’s and even time alone at home is great for staying connected. Remember to also take time out for yourself and allow him to do the same. This gives you both time, to do things you love that maybe your spouse doesn’t. Plus having friends is good for your soul. (yes… it’s ok to enjoy different activities!) My Hubby lives, breathes and works in Ski boots! Yuck!! I don’t love to ski…It hurts my feet! I can ski (not like my husband or our boys) but I ski…on pretty sunny Spring skiing day’s! I don’t love Winter and I really don’t like being cold. Yes… We moved to Utah from California 11 years ago. Going off on another subject..and I could go on and on about our big move and how it changed our lives in so many ways. Most for the best, but I’ll talk about that another time. Now back to Marriage…

I had a list in my head of the perfect man (do or did you?) Ben checked everything off on that list plus things I never could have thought of…. Except 1 thing he’s not romantic..hehehe If you know me it’s a running little joke… he’s thoughtful and caring and sexy has hell, but not romantic! I am not going to get flowers for no reason, great gifts just because, a warm bath drawn or beautiful written notes. But I do get a cup of hot tea in the morning and if it’s not ski season I get breakfast in bed on Sunday’s. He cooks, does laundry, is tidy and always removes ALL the snow to the cement! (Remember I don’t like Winter or ice on my drive way or walk way’s) He keeps my car detailed and would do anything I asked for help with…even if it’s to paint a bedroom for the 5th time. So some would say thats romantic! Well…..wait tell you find out he never asked me to marry him!!! Yup it’s true we’ve been married for 22 years and I was never purposed to!!! I was robbed..OX (that’s another story)

So about that perfect day 22 year’s ago… It was the Biggest snowstorm in Big Bear had had in many year’s….Not so perfect to me, talk about stressed! Wedding day’s are so stressful all that planning and preparing for the perfect fairy tail day. Having things go wrong that is out of your control. Choosing joy over stress and by seeing the positive in the negative is how you find the joy…My perfect day or was it? It’s all attitude

We looked so young! I was 25… Look at my hair it’s past my elbows! I don’t think I could have gotten a bigger headpiece!!!

The most perfect day ever❤

He cried when he saw me walking down the isle

2. He kissed me as soon as I got to him😘 “ Pastor Fred said”that’s later Ben!”

3. My mom stopped the wedding… because my 10ft train was standing in the hall😜 ( my sister didn’t snap in on correct💕) So we had a start over😜😜😜

4. It was the biggest snow storm in years! I was panicked all day, our photographer, cake and guest weren’t going to make it to the destination! They did… ( Well some of the guest got stuck😜)

5. My brother had to carry me on his back to the venue from the bridal suite… the snow was so deep❄

6. We got married by candlelight at 6:00pm❤ The flowers were stunning, my cousin sang, all my loved ones were there. It really was like a moment that stood in time💕

7. I danced with my grandpa to Unforgettable by Nat King Cole.

8. My aunt crash her car into another guests❄❄❄ just slide right down the hill!

9. My mom recorded the most beautiful & thoughtful speech ever! (she had to record it because she knew she’d cry saying it live!

10. I married my sole-mate and he still gives me butterflies

11. The day couldn’t have been more perfect💕 Well… I should have change my vail! (But it was 1996!)

12. I hope you take away from this …. that while not everything IS perfect… We can make it perfect:) It’s just how we handle the situation and keep the right perspective

13. I got my perfect day I married my dream man❤💍 even though there was no romantic proposal!

14. All my husbands Dutch relatives surprised us from Holland!

15.Wait for it….Because I am a sport and I love this man….He skied fresh powder the next morning with all his buds! How could I let him miss 5 feet of fresh powder!!!

Creating a sweet and casual Valentine’s day outfit!

February 13, 2018

Valentine’s day is tomorrow do you have big plans?

My Hubby and I normally spend Valentine’s day with our kids. My family wake’s up to their St. Valentine treats and then we have an Italian dinner at home. Something about Italian food that always seems romantic. Don’t you think?

Our anniversary is this month so we have “our Time” on the 25th. It will be 23 years for us this year! Man where does the time go? I’ll be talking more about this next week.

Because we really don’t go out for Valentine’s day, I like to look festive but not dressed up. I thought I would share a couple of cute casual and festive outfits you can easily wear for Valentine’s day. Perfect for helping at school parties or a surprise lunch with your hubby. (which by the way is what my hubby just came in and told me, he plans on taking me to a Valentine’s day, lunch at our favorite restaurant Twig’s!) YAY….He normally doesn’t take a week day off so this was a nice surprise. I love the idea of a Valentine’s Day lunch, restaurant won’t be as crowded as night and we can still have dinner with our family. What’s your plans?

Ok, so lets get to the outfit details…. You all know by now that I love pink, pretty much any shade of it! So finding a couple of sweaters on sale in shades of pink really made me happy! Right now is a great time to grab a a sweater or two for a great deal…I found the cashmere LOVE sweater in pale pink at Victoria Secrets and the Hot pink distressed sweater at American Eagle. I knew both of these would be darling for the month of love.

Some of the items have sold out or are only available in store’s, so I am linking similar items for you to get a similar look! Also you can find ALL the up to date outfits I wear by following me at Dress like me

Staying “Well” through Flu season!

February 9, 2018

flu season remedy

Hello Beautiful’s!

February… normally a cold and dark Winter month. This year Utah really hasn’t had a Winter! I heard the other day its been 70 years since Utah has had a winter with this little snow! But no snow doesn’t mean that the flu season would stay away too! Even though we all wish it would stay away! Yuck, Nobody wants to be sick and I haven’t been sick in over 8 years. I have found a way to keep that flu away….even in the full swing of flu season! I learned about Oscillococcinum by Boiron from a friend 8 years ago and it’s changed how my family and I get through flu season! Oscillococcinum is a Homeopathic medicine that is safe for ages 2 -up. It reduces the duration and severity of flu symptoms and if you take it just as you are feeling worn down or have the start of a flu symptom you can avoid the flu all together, special if you take a Zinc and up your Vitamin C.

Oscilloccinum is a product you can get anywhere really. The market, Target, CVS, even Costcos has it. It is Quick dissolving pellets that taste like sugar. I swear by this product and tell everyone I know about this crazy named medicine! Note: It’s an expensive product but totally worth every penny! It say’s on box take every hour, I do not take every hour! I take 1 or 2 a day depending on how I am feeling.

At the market or Drug store it’s $34-37 for a box of 30 I linked you to a deal for $24.23

Vitamin C is great for immune health and an essential nutrient that not only supports immune system but helps Cardiovascular and bone health. I use the Spring Valley brand, 1000mg with rose hips. Because I can buy a huge jar of it a Costco. So really you can use what ever brand you like

Costcos is $12-14 I linked you to a best selling brand on amazon $19.99

Zinc cold remedy is also a homeopathic product you take at the first sign of a cold. It melts in your mouth and you cannot drink anything for 15 min. I swear this product takes away a sore throat! You can purchase Zinc anywhere medicine is sold and I always buy the generic brand because its 1/2 the price!
