How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Guess what? Did you guess it was snowing again in Utah? You’d be right! I am so over it and really can’t wait for Spring. Today I am headed to lunch to meet some fun blogger friends I met online but haven’t met in person. One of the best things about social media is the friends you meet. Then, this evening, I have a live with the Chit Chat Chic Ladies and a family dinner. So, a very busy day. 

Tonight we are chatting about all things Hair and that inspired today’s blog post, and the funny thing is I had a hair tutorial reel already created to post. Talk about perfect timing. 

Did you know I have a weekly ? I send it out every Sunday. I’d love for you to be a part and get even more free content. You can sign up .

What hair mask are you currently loving?

I have two:  I love the Vegmore overnight hair mask, which you apply and wear overnight for Ultimate hydration and frizz reduction. Helps repair damage, protect color and enhance shine. Leaves hair feeling more vital.

Secondly, I am loving the, I am Stripes hair mask– the Crown Pleaser,  which you leave in about 5 min for improved shine, and a trio of plant extracts that revitalize and soften thinning hair.

2 Items I am Using Menopause Hair Loss

As I am aging and in menopause, I am losing hair, a common side effect that isn’t been discussed much until recently. Here are 2 products I have been using for over a year now and am seeing results with hair growing back in and stronger hair.

Scalp Treatment

The secret to healthy hair is a healthy scalp and GRO Scalp Detoxifying Serum by Vegmore is a fully comprehensive approach to scalp health that incorporates the use of proprietary phyto-actives, vegan proteins & minerals designed to work in tandem for optimal scalp and hair wellness.

Grow Hair Serum

How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

 3 Hair Care Products I Use For Styling & How I Get Bounce and Body

– Hair Oil (to keep my hair shiny, and protected) a small drop in the palm of my hands use wet or dry

– Dry shampoo to add texture and volume, I use it at the root and ends I love Dry Bar and it smells fantastic, and I have been using Hair story powder, which is a loose powder and can be sprinkled on or I put in my hands and finger it in. You don’t go though the powder as fast. Both do the same job so it really is on preference. 

– Hair Spray on ends and at the root, then after each curl. Kendra Hair Spray is a game changer when it comes to hair spray. My favorite by far. Let me tell you I have tried them all, well almost!

My Hair Oil Story

Hair Oil

A Daily Treatment: This styling oil for hair helps smooth out frizz, add shine, and hide the signs of damage while softening texture. A blend of 8 essential oils does wonders for parched or frizzy areas when worked through hair – damp or dry. 

I’ve always had oily hair and as I have aged and with menopause kicking in, It’s been dry everywhere, but still oily at the roots. I didn’t add oil to my hair, thinking it would worsen.

I have learned hair takes the oil it needs, when you apply just a couple of drops to the palms of your hands, rub them together and apply them to the hair. Only use it in the middle and ends of my hair, avoiding my roots. This has helped with the brittleness and added shine back into my hair.

 

How I Get Bounce in my Midlife Straight Hair

 4 hair care tools you can’t live without – T3-micro  curling iron, makes all the difference for my hair type, as this is the only curling iron that, gives me a curl my hair holds. For drying hair, I use the T3 micro styling blow wand.

The Wet Brush Original Detangler helps your hair stay strong and healthy! Gently loosens knots, on wet or dry hair, without pulling or snagging. The moment you use it, you’ll feel the difference.

GRO Revitalizing Scalp Massager features a series of bristles that stimulate the scalp and boost scalp health, providing both an exhilarating scalp massage and a relaxing experience. Ideal for all hair types, this hand-held massager can be used on a dry scalp. I use mine in the shower when shampooing and conditioning hair. 

I have hairstyling tutorials available

  If you are visual, I have created several Reels on my Instagram. Here’s the one from today. I’ve also done tutorials and saved them to  Highlights. You might want to go check them out, as I think you’ll find them helpful.  More about this in this blog post Must hair Hair care items

 

A fun little speed round of hair Q&A

How often do you wash your hair?

I wash my hair twice a week or If I have an event or photoshoot maybe 3. 

 

Is your hair generally oily, dry, normal, or combo?

My Hair is oily, but as I age, it is getting dryer and dryer. 

 

Middle or side part?

Changing up my hair do’s is something I like to do, so I do my part, for how I am feeling that day. I also like to wear braids, top knots, side do’s, twists, etc. 

Do you do your hair down or up?

This question is answered above, as I like to wear my hair differently daily.

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Hello Pretty Ladies,

How did the start of daylight savings go for you? We’re up early. Today was no different, and it was snowing yet again. With that said, we decided to stay home and chill. By chill, I mean I stayed in pj’s, did a facial, read scriptures, and had a slow morning.

I did get the laundry done, Ben shoveled snow, and we made a big Asian dinner. I worked on social media, my Liketoknowit, and my blog. So, we had a productive day, even though it was quiet at home.

It was nice not having to get ready and having a relatively relaxing day. I leave for St George on Wednesday to meet my mom for Vintage Market days, Zion, and a little girl time. It’s been a couple of months since I’ve seen her, and I look forward to spending time with her. 

Spring is coming

With the first day of Spring coming in a couple of days, and Spring break coming up fast, I thought I would share some great basics from Chico’s. Easy to pack, wear traveling, and mix and match all Spring and Summer.

 

Chico’s Wardrobe Builders

They take you from Saturday style to Vacation mode with Chico’s  New Spring line. Their classic button-up in linen is perfect; you’ll wear it on repeat in white. Great over a bathing suit, paired with jeans, shorts, or worn over a tee shirt dress. It also comes in a stripe and several other colors. Girlfriend cropped jeans are a flattering jean style, similar to the boyfriend jeans with being as baggy. 

A  big Spring trend is the color combo Navy and kelly green. You’ll see these colors paired together in print and solids and mixing it up. See how I styled this trend in a couple of ways below. First, I paired some great essential pieces with trendy pieces to create a look you can wear at any age. 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

White Button up | Girlfriend Jeans| Tennis shoes| Bag

Classic Wardrobe outfit 

Every day or Saturday style is built with classic wardrobe builders with the New girlfriend cropped denim. It fits slimmer than a boyfriend s jeans yet is not a straight cut. Very flattering on every figure and has a cute little cuff.  It was perfectly paired with Chico’s white shirt button-up and darling leather tennis shoes. Finish the look with a chain-detailed crossbody bag for a little updated edge.

Shop The Look:

 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Stripped Top| Joggers| Linen Slides

Easy Travel Outfit

Trending colors this Spring Kelly green and blue make a great color combo. I paired this color combo for a vacation look and a resort wear outfit. I hope you love the results. Kelly green jeggings and a navy and white striped linen button-up make for a comfortable travel look.

Shop The Look:

 

3 Everyday Looks You Can Wear On Vacation

Denim Jacket| Bathing Suit| Pants| Hat| Sunglasses| Bag

Resort wear or Poolside Outfit

Are you headed on a warm-weather vacation? These printed Ikat cropped pants pulled over a swimsuit (used as a body suit here) gave a seamless look, and paired with this two-toned denim jacket, the straw bag makes it easy to take from the pool to lunch.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope your week is going well. Happy March! We celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary over the weekend and have been trying to get into the swing of a new week. It’s been a harsh winter in Utah this year, and with Valentine’s over, I added some simple Spring touches to our home this week and shared over on the gram. You all loved it so much that I thought I would recap nine simple and affordable little touches you could add to your home for a spring feel.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh from my home tour🌿

Affordable and simple items to refresh little areas of your home! 9 things you can add to give your home a little refresh for Spring and add to the sense of sight & smell.

Adding Spring to the Kitchen area

If you’re like me, we’re primarily in our kitchens, and I like to start adding in the season here. You can make simple and affordable little changes that have a significant impact. I want to create tiny little vignettes for the seasons. For example, I start at my sink area and purchase new countertop cleaner, dish soap, and hand soap in a fresh scent of the season, add a new scrubber and a little silk pot of flowers, and a scented candle.  

The cleaners and soaps are $3.99-$2.99, adding such a spring impact for so little money. The stand you can use every season for under $20, and a new little wooden scrubber is $6; I think it’s a cute little detail. A little silk flower pot is $6-9.00, and you can find spring candles for $10. This Fresh linen and Sea salt candle smells so good. Fresh and clean for Spring.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

Sink area- stand|Dish & Hand soap| Counter cleaner| Scrubber|Candle|Dish Towels

 

Spring Touches with color in mind

Add these cute striped ruffle dish towels, a Jute rug, Spring 40 oz Candle & candles, little birds, and silk flowers. To your space, please give it a fresh look and light up your room for Spring. Think lighter colors and colors of Spring that will work in your area. I choose yellow, green, white, and the natural color of jute. 

 

Fresh flowers bring the outdoors in

I love fresh flowers too. Something about fresh flowers that make your home feel like you’re bringing the outdoors in: if you have been following me for a while, you know a bouquet of fresh flowers is something I treat myself to every week. I love trader joe’s, Costco flowers, and our local flower shops.

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

Changing out your Rugs

Changing out your rugs can make a significant impact on your space. Removing heavier fabrics and replacing them with lighter, airier ones, like jute, give your room a softer feel. Rugs can range in price, and you can find reasonable ones at places like Target and home goods. But I love Boutique rugs, and they are always having a sale. This darling jute circle rug comes in several sizes. I chose the smaller size as I knew it would fit perfectly in front of my sink and fridge. The circle is a fun change instead of the usual rectangle shape. (I got the large round for my entryway. )

 

9 Items for A Spring Home Refresh

 

Spring Center Piece for your Kitchen Island

Spring centerpieces can be easy to create, from a bowl with fresh lemons and limes to a simple flower centerpiece. You can get creative and use a dough bowl to add a bird’s nest and birds or bunnies. Of course, spring candles and fresh flowers are always a favorite. I will share several more ways in feature posts and stories on the gram, so tune in over there.

 

An excellent coffee table decor book

The Cozy White Cottage Seasons coffee table decor book is one of my favorite home inspiration books, and this one has 100 ways to be cozy all year.

Vacation Mode Activated Cabana Life

Vacation Mode Activated Cabana LifeVacation Mode Activated Cabana Life

Hello pretty ladies. Spring is almost here, which means Summer is around the corner! This means Spending more time outdoors, and Beach & Lake Vacations are fast approaching. I love nothing more than spending time in the water. Whether poolside or beachside. Cabana Life resort wear is perfect for the whole family. Clothing that protects you, Spf 50, and UV ray protection. 

Cabana Life Clothing 

I love that Cabana Life clothing can take you from the beach to lunch. It’s fashionable and practical. Every piece travels well, along with not taking up much space. 

I love that every collection has a matching swimsuit, making packing easier. I took several pieces to Palm Beach, Florida, which helped me easily pack and organize my outfits—being able to mix and match some of the collections as well. Like in this outfit below: From the  Jetties Beach & Nantucket Collection. The colors work together even though the patterns are different. It makes for a fun combination. 

4 Vacation looks from Cabana Life

Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns if the colors are the same. It works out great.

Shop the Photo:

 

The terry cloth tunics have long been one of my favorite pieces from Cabana Life. I love how you can wear it as a bathing suit cover-up and a dress…. But it’s even cute, worn as a tunic paired with linen pants. A very versatile piece that takes you from the pool to the street.

Fashion tip:

It’s always a good rule of thumb to think of 3 ways to wear a piece of clothing before purchasing it!

Vacation Mode Activated Cabana Life

I am wearing the Naples collection Rufftops Maxi skirt and triangle bikini top💙 The Maxi Skirts are fantastic with a white linen button-up and Cabana Life’s Accessories. Perfect for a lunch date or pull-on over a swimsuit. You can’t go wrong with this Skirt and a denim jacket on a fantastic night; it takes it from day to evening. The colors in this collection are the prettiest shade of blue.

4 Elemis Beauty Products You Need To Try

4 Elemis Beauty Products You Need To Try

4 Elemis Beauty Products You Need to Try

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a beautiful Valentine’s Day. We went out with the kids (adult kids) for an early dinner at one of our favorite Mexican food restaurants in Salt Lake. The Red Iguana, You may have heard of it as it’s been on Dinners, Drive in’s, and Dives. It’s none of those things. Instead, it has a cute atmosphere right next to the railroad. Which is why I believe it is one of the reasons it fits in that category. Anyway, it is delicious Mexican food, and this California girl loves Mexican food. 

Today, I am sharing a fun “new to me” brand, Elemis Skincare. I have heard so many great things about Elemis Skincare and have never had the opportunity to try this skincare line. Elemis reached out to me and asked if I would like to try 4 out of their top 10 products, and of course, I jumped at the chance.

I will report back to you in a couple of weeks and let you know my thoughts, and give a review on each product. 

A little bit about Elemis skincare

Founded in 1989, British skincare brand Elemis was one of the first pioneers of a holistic approach to beauty. The idea for this luxury line of skincare products came from entrepreneur and investor Linda Steiner. Linda’s goal was to create a line of products “as near to nature as possible” with “no expense spared.” She was soon joined by co-founders Noella Gabriel, Sean Harrington, and Oriele Frank, who helped turn Elemis into a sought-after brand now available in over 45 countries worldwide.

4 of the Top 10 Products

Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm

  • A nourishing cleansing balm that is said to melt away makeup, daily pollutants, and impurities for a soft and glowing complexion
  • Elemis Cleansing Balm is the brand’s #1 best seller
  • Key ingredients include sweet almond oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, elderberry seed oil, oat kernel oil, wheat germ oil, and shea butter
  • Contains fragrance
  •  

 

 Pro-Collagen Marine Cream

  • An anti-wrinkle moisturizer with a gel-cream texture that is said to improve hydration, leaving skin looking and feeling firmer and more radiant
  • Key ingredients include glycerin, synthetic emollients, wheat germ oil, shea butter, chlorella, Padina pavonica thallus extract, Acacia decurrens (mimosa) flower extract, and Rosa centifolia (rose) flower extract.
  • Contains fragrance
  •  

 

Elemis Superfood Facial Oil

  • A nourishing facial oil that is light, non-greasy, and easily absorbed
  • It is said to minimize the look of dullness and enhance skin radiance for a glowing complexion
  • Key ingredients include sweet almond oil, caprylic/capric triglyceride, meadowfoam seed oil, flaxseed oil, macadamia seed oil, and rice bran oil
  • Contains fragrance
  •  

 

Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads

  • Textured exfoliating facial pads help reduce the look of dark spots, pores, and uneven skin texture.
  • Key ingredients include lactococcus ferment lysate and lactic acid
  • Contains fragrance

Athleta Spring Haul Wardrobe Refresher

Athleta Spring Haul Wardrobe Refresher

"</p

Hello Pretty Ladies,

As you are reading this, I am on a little Ski trip with my husband for his birthday in Sun Valley. We needed this little break together, and I was looking forward to it as it’s one of my favorite trips. We return with the family in March for our annual ski trip, which is also a favorite time. But there’s just something about taking the time to spend time together as just a couple, wouldn’t you agree? 

Before we left town, I headed to Station Park to meet my friend Cammi at Cammi’s Happy Place for a little Athleta try-on, lunch at Twigs, and our Bookclub Live we did for Chico’s. Always fun to spend time with her and get a little work done. Business and pleasure, as they say.

Here’s a little peak at Athleta’s Spring arrivals 

Don’t you love a little workout wear refresher for Spring?🌿 I love a whole wardrobe refresher for Spring, but living in Utah, winter is long, and wearing Spring clothes will take a couple more months. But Spring workout- wear we can wear now, and let me tell you, adding in Spring wherever I can help add a little cheer to these cold dark days. Athlata seems to have workout wear that can quickly transition into streetwear. You can pair a sweater with jeans or an outer vest from the gym to grab coffee with a friend.

Come check out Athleta’s Spring pieces and do a little try-on with me. Below are a few fun NEW Spring pieces I loved and thought you would too💙🌿 as well as two spring shopping guides.

Athleta Spring workout wear

Hot Pink, fresh whites, and dark Sage green, along with Lavender and mauve, are the colors of Spring for Athleta this year—a fun, bright colorway for Spring. You can’t help but smile when walking into the store. Most of you know I am a neutral color-loving girl, but a pop of color says Spring to me. Especially green.

Athleta  Spring Fabrics and styles

Even though spring colors are a draw, the lighter-weight fabrics, easy-to-wear styles, and function are essential too. Athleta’s attention to detail, form, and function is on point. I love the flared yoga pants of the 1990s coming back in style; they are so flattering. Excellent layering pieces with drawstring waist details help jackets from looking boxy. COzy soft crew neck sweatshirt paired with loose white linen pants you’ll wear all Spring & Summer. You really can’t go wrong with any piece, and no matter the sport or lounging you want to do.

Athleta Basics

I no black isn’t very colorful, but it is a go-to basic, and I wanted to share my go-to pieces that you could wear year-round and add a little pop of color with just one item. You’ll wear this quilted vest repeatedly, making it a great streetwear piece.

A criss-cross sweater in Cobalt blue paired with flared leggings is a great transitioning Spring look, warm yet a fun pop of color. All the pieces I am wearing are TTS. I am in the med in both sets.

Hello Pretty Ladies,

We’re headed on a ski trip to Sun Valley. We’re both looking forward to a bit of downtime and a little alone time, as it has been a while.

Cure Winter’s Dry Skin

Cure Winter's Dry Skin with Tula's Body Butter

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Do you get super dry skin in the winter? Today, I am sharing a quick blog post on how I Cure Winter’s Dry Skin with Tula’s Body Butter. Not only has Tula’s body butter made my skin super soft, but it also smells so good. Like I am on a tropical vacation, let me tell you, that’s precisely where I want to be because this winter in Utah has been brutal! 

I like to use this with Tula’s body Exfoliating scrub to help remove dry skin. The combo does make a significant improvement in the dryness and appearance of your skin. Great to use before self-tanner as well. 

 

Tula Body Butter

Advanced hydration body moisturizer: Take care of your body’s skin with this plush, nourishing body moisturizer. 

This buttery cream instantly hydrates skin, leaving a natural, luminous glow that feels soft & supple—

Skincare-first ingredients yuzu & Vitamin C help improve the look of tone and texture, while hyaluronic acid & ceramides deeply moisturize and help improve skin softness. 

A subtle, comforting vanilla coconut scent is heavenly.

Give your skin the kindness & indulgence it deserves.

Cure Winter's Dry Skin with Tula's Body Butter

-Ruffles & Bows

-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😉

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🤍🤍
