I hope your week is going well. I’m hopping on for Thrifty Thursday and sharing an unusual Thursday blog post rather than a Friday, as the Madewell 20% off sale in the Like to Know It app starts today and goes until the 13th. I didn’t want you to miss this opportunity to grab some of my favorite picks you’ll wear all Spring and Summer on sale.

These pieces can be mixed and matched, and they’re ideal for Memorial Weekend, BBQs, picnics, Travel every day, and Summer Holidays. I love the red accessories for a pop of color. View the Try-on HERE

I did this fun try-on with my girlfriend Danielle while in California, and I should have shared her try-on with you as well! I’ll share her picks below, as they looked darling on her and will on you, too. She’ll be shopping these pieces on the sale today as well.

On another note, my week in California was jam-packed, and I’ll share all about it next week.

A Perfectly Polished Chic Cuffed Jean Outfit

“Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat.” ☀️ Happy Earth Day ☀️

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy New Week! I hope you had a great weekend. It was beautiful here in Utah. Today, I am sharing a quick and easy outfit to inspire you. A Perfectly Polished Chic Cuffed Jean Outfit: Cuff jeans are all the rage, and they are a style you can wear casually or elevate to a great Chic outfit. 

I’ve always loved a cuffed jean. It’s an excellent trick for tall girls whose jeans are always too short. Add a little folded-up cuff to those short jeans, and the problem will be fixed! A cuff is also always cute on a loose boyfriend-style jean.

Today, I’m sharing a Chic way to wear them with a little Parisian vibe. You could easily copy this look by shopping your closet for items like this: a double-breasted blazer, a mock-neck cap sleeve sweater, straight-leg jeans in a medium to dark wash that you could cuff, a great pair of loafers, and gold jewelry.

— Cuff Jeans are all the rage…

Here’s a great Chic Outfit Idea: Styling these $39 jeans.

I’ve elevated this look with a double-breasted & “Arm Candy” bracelet stack Jewelry by Lisi Lurch.

Over 40 Style-Dresses Perfect for Spring Events

Over the years, I have learned that what is important in a dress is the woman who is wearing it.” —Yves Saint Laurent”

 Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I hope you’ve had a great week. Can you believe how fast April is just flying by? It seems like It was just April Fools Day, and now we’re almost to the last week. I’ve had so much to want to share with you, but there are not enough hours in the day to get it all done. Today, I hope to do a quick ruffled dress styling for you. I’ve found two fabulous Amazon dresses under $53. These are flattering on every body type and work for many spring and summer events and parties.

 Really, with all the occasions to wear dresses in Spring and Summer, these two darling and very affordable dresses could be worn not only as wedding guest dresses but also to Graduations, Mother’s Day brunches, Garden parties, and bridal showers.

This Calf-length cornflower blue halter-style dress is easy to wear, flattering on every body type, and fits true to size. It’s no secret I’ve been crushing on this color and how stunning it is paired with these bow nude heels, custom-made Coastal Clutch NY bag, and Julie Vos Jewelry.

Perfect styling for a Wedding Guest look, Bridal shower, or Mother’s Day brunch. Change the shoes and accessories to a raffia sandal and clutch for a beautiful resort dinner dress.

Orange One Should Ruffle Dress

This little one-shoulder Orange ruffled dress hits above the knee and has been my best seller. It’s a little flirty and a touch sexy, yet still classy. This dress is great for a night out on the town, a date night, or cocktails with friends. I have styled it with a pop of leopard for a fun, flirty look, but you could easily restyle this number with nude or raffia heels and a clutch for a wedding or vacation look. The gold beaded jewelry by Lisi Lurch is my daily go-to; it is affordable and high-quality. They do not tarnish.

New & Noteworthy Midlife Skincare From Colleen Rothschild 

New & Noteworthy Midlife Skincare From Colleen Rothschild 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope your weekend is going well and you’re having a great weekend. It’s Sunny and beautiful here in Utah, and I have to say we’ve been enjoying it. We’ve been having dinner on the deck the last three nights, and all the trees are starting to bloom beautiful blossoms.

Speaking of trees, we started our Saturday morning off by having two beautiful trees removed from our yard, one being a stunning cherry tree. Although attractive, unfortunately, they were too close to our home and caused some damage, so it was necessary to have them cut down and removed. Everything went smoothly, and the tree service did a fantastic job. Meanwhile, Ben is redoing our decks; new front and back decks are also happening this Spring. It’s great to get things checked off your Spring cleaning checklist. Do you have Spring projects happening?

Saturday is the day I try to do a little self-care. With everything happening outside, I took this time to try Colleen Rothschild’s new skincare line, which targets a Few Midlife Skin Issues: blemish-prone, sensitive, and reactive skin.

I love how it left my skin feeling. I also used the overnight treatment for extra moisturizer, as I try not to wear makeup on Saturday. Having one day a week to let your skin breathe is always a good idea. I also did a hair mask HERE, gave myself a self-tan (I use Loving Tan ), and derma-planed my face. HERE

Midlife Helpers & Supplements I Take In Midlife

Midlife Helpers & Supplements I Take In Midlife

 

Hello Pretty ladies,

Happy Good Friday and start of Easter weekend as well as Spring Break. 

We’re heading to Church services this evening and leaving for Spring break on Tuesday.

This week’s Friday blog post took a turn. I was going to share a fabulous Spring outfit. Then, after yesterday’s Live with Suzanne, I realized so many of you wanted to know what supplements I’ve been taking and some of the items I’ve been using that have helped me on this midlife journey.

Please note that I am not a Doctor. I have seen Doctors and hormone replacement Doctors, and I’ve done a lot of research. These are just some of the items I’ve been taking and have found to work for me. Having had a hysterectomy in September of last year, I genuinely feel the best I’ve felt in years. I’ve been taking several of these items for years and added a couple to the mix in the last 3-4 months. 

Midlife Helpers & Supplements I Take In Midlife

A little Health Journey info

I am not doing any HRT at this time and have not since around 2020. While this did work for me back in 2016-2019, while in the stages of pre-menopausal, I felt great, and it helped me tremendously to feel better and to get that hormonal weight I’d gained off.

I noticed after that 3rd year going into 4 I wasn’t feeling like myself, probably because the stages of Menopause were changing, and I also am assuming this was the time I probably started having tumor issues and wasn’t aware. Now, 2020 -2022 was a hard time for the medical field. Which we are all aware of.

Because of this, I stopped doing HTR and started looking into more supplements that could help while in this stage of midlife and Menopause. This is a tiny part of my journey in midlife and a peek at my Midlife helpers & Supplements I take in midlife.

I shared some of my Hysterectomy journey Here and more of my Midlife Journey Here. I discussed our last LIVE Midlife Helpers in these Highlight Videos and this Instagram Live.

Supplements I take from Piping Rock

Essentials for Midlife

Fish oil 1000 mg—I use the one by Piping Rock—Omega-3 Fish Oil Lemon Flavor, 1000 mg, 240 Quick Release Softgels. Piping Rocks Fish Oil contains EPA and DHA, two omega-3 fatty acids that help support and maintain the health of the cardiovascular system. ** Each quick-release soft gel contains 1400 mg per serving of our fish oil and is purified to eliminate Mercury and other heavy metals. With the convenience of only taking one daily, what’s stopping you?

Maca 3200 Mg-Superfood of the Incas.= Maca is an exotic herb used by men for centuries. The Latin name for this highly regarded plant is “Lepidium meyenii,” and it is native to the Andes Mountains of Peru. Grab Piping Rock’s Maca capsules today and get the equivalent of 4800 mg of this herb! Husband also uses this Supplement.

Ultra Magnesium Complex with Plus D3 (Cal 1000mg/Mag 500mg/D3 1000IU) – Piping Rock Ultra Calcium Magnesium plus D3 brings three research-backed bone support nutrients together in one great product!** Magnesium supports bones by promoting peak mineralization.** Calcium and D3 work hand-in-hand to help you and your healthy lifestyle. Get peak quality and value with Piping Rock Ultra Calcium Magnesium Vitamin D3 today!

MSM 1000mg is an organic sulfur and one of the most abundant minerals in the human body. It can be obtained nutritionally by consuming plant foods such as Brussels sprouts, asparagus, legumes, and kale. The MSM content of the food is highly dependent on the sulfur content of the soil. MSM plays a role in collagen production and is often used synergistically with glucosamine and chondroitin in joint support supplements.

Midlife Helpers for Health & Beauty

E 1000IU-Vitamin E is a vital antioxidant and one of many essential vitamins that the body cannot produce alone.

Horsetail Booms  800mg Horsetail is a group of grass plants from the Equisetacae family that has existed for 400 million years. Referred to as a “living fossil,” this plant has been used throughout history in traditional wellness practices.

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😉

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🤍🤍
