 Hello Beautiful’s, 

Activewear is still strong and making big trends in 2018.  I am loving this brand Sentia 

 With life being busy and many liking the minimalist trend it’s nice to get multiple uses out of items in our closet. That doesn’t stop in active wear, ONE of the big trends in active wear is having piece’s that will take you from the studio to the street with ease.

It’s all in the detail’s….Cute cutouts, great fabrics that fit well yet have special details.  Sentia is a company owned by sister’s and ran by all woman, they understand what woman want and the attention to detail in their sportswear line shows. 

Leggings with mesh details add style yet breathable and add that Fashionable detail you can wear with a cute sweater perfect for the street. You can wear sneakers or your Ugg boots.  Cute cut out tee’s and mixed fabrics make a work out shirt perfect to pair with jeans. I’ve been living in my easy cardigan, just enough to keep me warm after a workout and cute enough to layered over my favorite rocker tee’s for running errands or heading to the movies.

Love your Melon

Knit beanies have been all the rage for a couple of years NOW. Who doesn’t love a super soft beanie or headband to keep your head warm or wear on a bad hair day! What I love even more then super soft beanie is a product that gives back. Love Your Melon worked to develop a beanie that is soft enough for children battling cancer. Fifty percent (50%) of profit from the sale of all Love Your Melon products is given to Love Your Melon’s nonprofit partners in the fight against pediatric cancer. Their nonprofit partners work in the field of pediatric oncology, fund cancer research initiatives and provide immediate support for families of children battling cancer. All of their products are made in the United States of America. 

Now taking that beanie from working out to the street comes with ease, their too cute to wear just to work out it! I have been wearing mine all Winter from outside work outs to Casual date nights. So soft you’ll want several colors.

Misfit Shine 2

Automatically tracks steps, distance, calories, and light and restful sleep

Vibration alerts for call and text notifications, movement reminders, and alarms

Smart button enabled to control connected household devices

Swim proof, anodized aluminum disc with multicolor LED progress display and time

Non-charging, replaceable battery last up to 6 months

Reflective band option features a sleek, reflective accent that reflects light in even the dimmest conditions – so you can stay safe and in style at all times.

I have been using this awesome fitness tracker for a couple of months now. I love it! I love keeping track of my daily steps, it helps keep me motivated if I haven’t moved enough that day to get up and walk. It’s easy to wear, looks fashionable and I find it interesting to see how I really sleep, with the sleep tracker and best of all I don’t have to charge it. What no charging?  Has a battery like a regular watch… Brilliant!

Hello Beautiful’s!

My Top 10 Favorite Beauty & lifestyle products from 2017.

I thought you would love a round up of some of my favorite products I was lucky to try, review or sample from 2017. I have been lucky to work with a lot of companies and brands that I have loved and some not so much over the last year. Please know I always give my honest review and truly share my thoughts and results. I really enjoyed a ton of products in 2017 and here’s my top 10 Favorite products that I am still using in 2018. 

All of these products really helped my skin, my feet and a little help controlling my weight. With one little self indulgent… Tea, as a tea lover I found a brand that has me trying different teas and I am so enjoying it.

  1.  BooTea = A 14 day Tea cleanse= This cleanse is great for a Holiday detox or a jump start for a new diet. I did this last year after Christmas and it helped get me back on my regular eating habits after the indulgences from the Holiday’s. I will be starting it again this year in the Next week. It’s simple, drink a cup every morning and 1 night tea every other night for 14 day’s. You’ll be less bloated and your cravings from the Holiday’s will be lessened. I know mine sure did….I even lost about 5 lbs. Here’s to a jump start!
  2. SkinnyPop
    “Skinny Pop believes in snacking without compromise. That means using the fewest, cleanest and simplest ingredients possible to bring you the best tasting popcorn. Whole grain popcorn, natural sunflower oil and the perfect amount of salt combine together to give you a delicious snack that you can feel great about eating everyday @ 39 calories per cup”  – That’s the Skinny!  I like the Sea Salt pop corn and it really is a great snack that helps keep me full.  If it’s a little to simple for you, you can sprinkle it with season salt. Seasonings a great alternative to using butter or oil. 
  3. Md Complete 
    • Simple 3-day regimen designed to replicate the benefits of professional peels
    • Helps to even skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, smooth rough texture, and brighten complexion. 
    • If you’ve been following me for a while, then you’ll know I love face masks. I do one every Sunday! It’s important to take care of your skin at every age. As we age our skin needs different products and has different concerns it’s important to find products that work for your skin and it’s ok to try out different products or try a new mask weekly.
    • Retinol Vitamin C Concentrate
      • Unlike other serums this product is pure concentrate — it’s not diluted with water (which is often the first ingredient in other products).
      • Provides dermatologist levels of Retinol, as much as 5-10 times higher than other products.
      • Ideally suited for derma rolling, with naturally derived essential acids, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C.      
      • I have been reading when we age our Skin really needs Vitamin C and to help with winkles Retinol in your skin regimen is very important so a combination of both in 1 bottle made great sense. I have noticed a difference in my skin since I’ve been using, the glow and the texture is improving specially on my neck.  

4. Coconut Body cream .  Creek Baby Coconut Body Crème is 100% Pure Organic Coconut Oil has no smell, which is great for moisturizing and then you can use your favorite fragrance.  Tip: I use the coconut oil in the shower after I dry off and that helps keep me  moisturized in the dry Winter. I do use it year round for soft skin.

5. Cyantific  Skin care line- Each product not only helps to protect the skin from damage, but also hydrates to dramatically minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and leaves skin looking clearer, more radiant, helping to preserve beauty at every age. I used this line All summer and I loved what it did for my skin. I knew my mom would love it too. I gave this to my mom for her birthday in October and she loves it. 

Something I have learned in my years is that its great to find skin care lines that you love and get great results with. Remember to change seasonally, I personally change brands and products with the season. It’s good not to use the same products for years. Step out of your comfort zone and try something new.

6. BOH Tea– It’s no secret I prefer tea over coffee. Having the chance to try a couple variety’s of BOH tea’s made me switch from good old Lipton and Tazo tea to the rich bold flavor of Boh’s cameron gold blend. 

7. Good Virtues– Clarifying Shampoo and Conditioner….I am a big Dry shampoo user and I was told it’s important to find a good Clarifying shampoo. It helps your scalp and hair from using hair products and dry shampoo. I have loved the smell and how it cleans my hair. This product is good to use 1-2 times a week.

8. Arawak Face powder– I have always used translucent powder and this organic powder works perfectly over your favorite foundation or without.  Has a great natural powder blends with almost any skin tone and is a powerful acne treatment. Better than mineral makeup! 

9. Fancy Feet– Give your favorite pair of shoes a comfortable makeover from the inside out. These cushions ease pressure on the ball of your foot and prevent your feet from sliding all over the place. Give your feet a “fancy” they’ll love you!

10. Whitening toothpaste– Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste lightens teeth without peroxide while preventing cavities and plaque formation. This gentle, vanilla mint formula freshens breath and provides a clean, just-brushed feeling that lasts all day. I have tried all kinds of whitening stripes, tablets, toothpastes and trays. All make your teeth super sensitive and cost a fortune. I’ve been using for 6 months now and keeps my teeth white with no sensitivity.  My whole family uses this toothpaste and has lightened my husbands teeth 1 full shade. It’s safe to use pregnant, everyday and for kids.  BUY IT NOW Here $20.00

I hope you enjoyed my recap of my favorite 10 products of 2017! Ox, D’Arcy

This is All my personal thoughts, feelings and personal opinion.

Day to Night Affordable Metallic outfit Idea

Seeing Stars and loving all this seasons’s metallic’s. Kut from the Kloth Jeans & Star sweater on SALE for $24, Tassel earrings Nordstrom ombre sold out so I linked the Solid colors.

I love that you can use this outfit day or night and that it really can be causal simply because it’s a Sweater & Jeans. Change out the Shoes and accessories to simple studded earrings and converse or bootie and you have a casual look. Looks that can change from day to night with just swapping out a couple of pieces makes going from work to dinner with ease.

  If you have been following me for awhile you know I am a big fan of Kut from the Kloth jeans. I love how they fit so when they come out with a new wash (this Metallic) or body style I am always up to grab a pair! The fabric is stretchy and the metallic gives them some glam.

Way’s you can try the metallic trend without breaking the bank…..

The metallic’s this season add a playfulness that any age can wear without being over the top. Really who doesn’t want a little sparkle! Not sure how you feel about metallic’s? Try it in a small dose! Like the sweater I am wearing. It’s on sale which makes it a reasonable way to try a trend. Want to make a bolder step? Try the jeans.. Kut from the Kloth is having a But one get one 50% off sale right NOW! If you haven’t tried Kut nows the time! 

Talking about sparkle look at these shoes! More details about them at the bottom of this post. You know I am a shoe girl and I love different shoes. I really feel the shoes can make or break the outfit. Buying different & unique shoes can take a regular pair of jeans and a plain tee or sweater into a statement outfit. If you notice I rarely have on a basic pair of shoes….Shoes can finish the outfit or Make your outfit pop! Next time you go shoe shopping… Pick the color over black or grab a print! Make a statement! Get the shoes girl!!!

More about HOW Shoes can Make an outfit!coming Next week

Crystal and Ice Open toed Badgley Mischka shoes (sold out) Similar shoe here

Kicking off the New Year with Glitter booties

easy to wear outfit you can copy

Striped Sweater @chic Style Utah , distressed Jeans by Edyson and glitter boots by Gianni Bini

Kicking off the New year with New Glitter booties!

Of coarse you know I’d kick of the New Year with NEW shoes:)…..(One of my FAVORITE things!) When I spotted these glittery cuties I really couldn’t pass them up and on SALE! I texted hubby and asked him if he wanted to get me a pair for Christmas (excuse because I would have bought them anyway!)  Of coarse I had to wrap them and put them under the tree… Who else has to do that?  These cuties really can be paired with a lot of items in your closet. I love how the dress up a simple sweater and your go to jeans! 

About the look…This simple striped sweater is up to date with the flared sleeve Similar sweater and gives it a fun on trend detail. Paired with my favorite go to Distressed denim skinnies ( unfortunately this brand is no longer) I linked similar Jeans Here and Here. The glitter bootie by Gianni Bini Sold out Similar here gives it some glam and My favorite leopard clutch give the look a Pop! A dupe clutch Here

I hope you found some inspiration in this outfit and can copy the look with easy from your closet! I am looking forward to sharing more daily looks with you through 2018 as I am making my blog and social media a priority and have some really fun things to share.    Thank you for following along and helping my journey grow. Have you followed along on my Social media for different tips, daily thoughts, brand reviews and stories?  Here’s ways you can follow along Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, Bloglovin, youtube, 

Do you set resolutions? I really don’t set a list of Resolutions but I do set goals… I set Goals for every day, week, and month. I feel it’s a easier way to reach them without the pressure of sticking to something for a whole year! (the stress of failure!)  I can accomplish more looking at it as a daily goal (steps) working to the bigger. Then when the year comes to and end I can see all the ways I grew instead of failed! Maybe you could take the baby step way and set your daily goal, that helps you reach your main goal….Good luck! I think everybody loves a fresh start!

I wanted to share a couple of my goals for 2018 with you, I have a big list so I won’t bore you and list them all. I thought It would be fun to share my list throughout the month. 

#1 Share more content with you.

#2 Finish reading the Bible (last year I wanted to have read it cover to cover & I got over 1/2 way)

#3 De-clutter, purge, donate, give

#4 Size down our home

#5 growing my busines

#6 learn something NEW everyday.

Did you set goals or have a resolution? I would love to hear some of yours comment below. OX, D’Arcy

Happy New Year….Bringing in 2018 Outfit

thinking outside of your closet

New Years eve outfit using my hubby’s velvet tuxedo jacket!

Happy New Year!

Wishing you all the best in 2018 with many blessing’s and I  hope you can make ALL your dreams come true.

I wanted to share with you a fun little outfit I created for New year’s with my favorite item from my Hubby’s closet! He’s velvet tuxedo jacket (Jcrew)…Although it’s a little big it works! It adds balances with having tight bottoms. I paired it with a fun sequins tank top (old), black jeggings by Kut from the Kloth, metallic rose gold Clutch  similar here and New Years worthy shoes by Badgley Mischka similar here.

I love thinking outside the box when it comes to creating a outfit and who say’s everything has to be new! Go dig in your hubby’s closet & see what you could barrow to dress up. I also like to search through my closet and find pieces I haven’t worn in awhile and create an outfit from that piece. In this case I found this cute cream sequined tank top. It’s amazing what can get “LOST” in your closet! 

I don’t know about you but I really do like to stay home for New Year’s eve. (every once in awhile it’s fun to go to a party) Growing up it was Tradition to get into Pj’s, cousins came over to play games & watch movies and my mom made a appetizer dinner for snacking all night and we tried to stay up for the ball drop. Having this kind of night with my family is relaxing after all the hustle of the Holiday’s. What’s your New year’s tradition?

Make sure to check back tomorrow for a peek at one of my favorite Christmas gifts…Hint I had to wrap it myself! OX, D’Arcy

What DRESSES I am wearing as a 54 year old, this S What DRESSES I am wearing as a 54 year old, this Spring & Summer…

A little something for everyone…10 dresses & Styling ideas

-Ruffles & Bows
-Show a little leg
-Calf & Maxi length for those who don’t 
-Casual- Everyday-Workwear and -Travel
-Color- Neutrals and Print

A few style TIPs and the BIGGEST style mistake….

Just putting on the dress and not accessorizing …. Take NOTE of every look… Shoes, Bag, Jewlery and finishing accessories ✔️✔️✔️

Accessorizing can make or break your look… Styling doesn’t have to be hard or over the top… but it is something you don’t want to skip…

Changing your bag takes 3 minutes, picking a shoe can be an issue for some. Tip: pick a neutral sandal or heel, 1 good neutral sandal & Bag can work for all these looks. (I’ve linked several over on my blog and in stories) 

- A great gold or silver stack of bracelets, a favorite necklace and earrings will work if you are a minimalist..

If you’re a Maximalists like me😉 you’ll have a collection for every season, every “vibe” and several choices to change the looks….

You can be classic and chic, simple and elegant, boho and layered…. Just DON’T skip accessorizing😉

This little spit fire is 23🤍 I can’t believe how f This little spit fire is 23🤍
I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍

Happy 23rd 🎂🎉Hampton Steel we couldn’t love you more🤍🤍🤍
