Winter Casual Outfit Inspirations

Winter Casual Outfit InspirationsHappy Monday, Pretty Ladies🌸

Need a little causal outfit inspiration? I thought I would share what I have worn lately. Several of these outfits are what I wore to the hospital while caring for my mom. I needed outfits that were comfortable, easy to wear, warm, and still looked put together. Hospitals are cold, so layers are great. Being comfortable was also essential for extended stays as well. 

What I wore last week….Fit these criteria. 

Cold winter weather looks… Layered up✔️ from leggings, flares, and skinny jeans…. This a little inspiration to shop your closet and see what you can create from what you have…

Cheaters Homemade Garlic Bread

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

5 make up products from 2022

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.

Just Call me Martha With a Hack… Biscuits and Ber Just Call me Martha With a Hack…

Biscuits and Berries recipe is what “is this “Sunday’s in the Kitchen with D’Arcy”

I had heard good things about @magnoliatable  Buttermilk Biscuits,
And I’ve been wanting to try them. 

I thought that would be a good quick hack to serve them for a Sunday breakfast treat.

I brushed them with 🧈French Butter and French flaky Salt… (makes all the difference) you could eat them just like that…

I served them with Homemade Whipping cream and my Strawberry sauce along with Fresh Berries🍓🫐🌱

So so good… this would be a great brunch side dish or dessert as well.

These biscuits would make a great mini breakfast sandwich- egg cheese and bacon✔️
Or my Family’s  favorite-Biscuit’s and Gravy

“So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” – 1 Corinthians 10:31
