12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy June! I hope your Memorial weekend was just what you needed it to be. We had a great family weekend, good food, and got some things done around the house. I love that it’s the unofficial kick-off to Summer, and I am ready for it. How about you?

I leave with my good friends tomorrow on a business/Girls’ trip. In celebration of that, this week, I have had a Vacation series, sharing packing tips, vacation outfit ideas, swimsuits & cover-ups, and things you need on a trip. Sharing over on Instagram, in stories, On Like to know it, and on the blog. Today on the blog, I am sharing 12 Travel Essentials To Help You Pack

12 Items to help you pack with ease and stay organized. These are all items I own and use every time I travel. If you know me or follow me, you know I love to travel/adventure.

I try to go somewhere once a month, even if it’s just a staycation. So I have tried out several organizations’ items and found these are the Best ones for me, and I think you’ll love them too.

12 Travel Essentials

1. Cloth Jewelry zip organizer has clear pockets inside, plenty of hooks, and different sizes to hold your jewelry. I love that you can see everything; it is pretty flat, like a book.

2. Cord organizer I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand all my chargers and cords in a mess. This keeps them tidy.

3. Packing cubes and shoe bags are a must to stay organized and help you pack more without the mess. 💯 a must-have!

4. Travel bottles with case TSA approved and great to take your favorite toiletries (Comes in several color options)

5. Belt bag by Lululemon is a must-have for hands-free and easy access to your items. Great for Airport, walking, and heading out sightseeing

6. Travel flat spray hand sanitizer Smells excellent and is so easy to carry

7. Stanley 40oz Tumbler with handle easily fits all cup holders and keeps drinks hot or cold for hours.

8. Compact Mirror with light and magnifying mirror. $8.99-12.99 It is flat and packs well. Identical to the mirror that advertises for $40

9. 3 in 1 charger folds up compact and is great if you have many items that need to be charged.

10. Kusshi Makeup organizer The only makeup bag you’ll ever need!! It unzips all the way yet has a flat bottom to remain standing. You can see everything verse digging. Washable and come in several sizes and colors. I love the customization organizer snap-in pouches! For brunches, pockets, etc.

11. Silicone makeup brush holder! Affordable and easy to use

12. Pill case organizers for pills and supplements. Compartments to keep tablets separated snap closer. I know you will love all of these items.

(I have all these and shared them on a reel in my feed and story highlights.

Hello Pretty ladies,

We are all most to the end of May, Schools out in Utah, and were headed into Memorial Weekend end, the kick-off to Summer. I look forward to Bbq season, longer days, spending time in the yard, and pool and lake days! How about you?

Memorial Weekend means more than significant sales. However, that’s a fun way to spend part of your weekend. Remembering all those who have and are serving this beautiful country is essential. Our freedoms aren’t free, and those who have given so much and families that have made sacrifices must be remembered and thanked. So fly those flags high and remember why we celebrate and have a three-day weekend.

Thank you to all those who serve and have served this country. God bless you and your families.

Friday Favorite’s Weekly Round-Up #6

Hello pretty ladies,

I hope your week was a good one! It seemed to fly by for me! I can’t seem to catch up and get everything done on my to-do list! Have you had weeks or months like this? What do you do to keep yourself from stressing out over it?

I have learned to take a day at a time, and LISTS helps me. I have a weekly to-do list and try to break it down into daily parts… Then, what I don’t finish for that day, I highlight it and make it my first thing for the next day. If you’re like me, you might have great expectations of what you can accomplish in a day! Which can set your week up for failure.

Instead, make a priority list, a “something I would love to do List” “and an “I have time List” Break the priority list into items for each day. Then when you accomplish that day’s priorities, pick something from the other list. This will allow you to achieve your daily priorities and feel good about the day instead of causing stress.

Let me know if you try this little “life helper” or if you have a tip to help you accomplish your goals of the week by commenting below.

Last night I enjoyed attending my sweet girlfriend’s “girlfriend Dinner.” Jennifer Burns, a Chef on ABC, hosted a beautifully catered dinner at her home—an annual event. Let me tell you; it’s always such a fun evening with good friends and great food.

This year was a Chinese theme Hibachi night.

Shifuku did a fantastic job catering a fun experience and an excellent idea for a Birthday party or even an engagement party or rehearsal dinner.

I purchased the Kut from the Kloth Meg cropped denim jeans last year and loved them; I was happy they brought them back this year and in an off-white. I’ve been wearing them again on repeat. Perfect Spring/Summer denim. Superb fit, comfortable, good quality, and affordable.

| Treat Yourself |

You deserve a little treat, and treating yourself is okay. Treating yourself doesn’t mean it has to be expensive. It could be as simple as a little something you wanted at Target to something you’ve wanted for years. I am reminding you it’s okay to do something for yourself.

Last Friday’s round-up, I told you about some Gucci sandals I had been wanting and waiting for my size for over a year. They finally arrived, and I was so excited. (photo above) I shared them on Instagram. Even though this was a splurge, I permitted myself, and sometimes we must treat ourselves.

Happy Sunday, pretty Ladies!

How was your week? Can you believe we are already headed into the last week of April? Mother’s Day is going to be here before we know it. In addition, we have two college graduations this week, Hayden and Tyler are both graduating from Weber State, and we are beyond excited to celebrate these two boys. I can’t wait to see what the feature holds for both.

Today I am sharing an easy and quick recipe, 5 Ingredients White Chocolate Chip Blueberry Muffins —a great morning treat, an afternoon snack, and easy to take on the go. I created a REEL on Instagram a while back, making these yummy muffins. Watch it HERE.

“The fondest memories are made when gathered around the table.” So they’ll come running for these….

Recipe:

One box of super moist French vanilla cake mix

one 15 oz can of blueberries in light syrup (I like Oregon)

1 cup white chocolate chips ( I like Guittard)

Two tablespoons of flaxseed meal

Powdered sugar enough to top muffins

What to do:

Mix cake mix and flaxseed, add blueberries with syrup, mix, and add chocolate chips, stirring in. Scoop into muffin pan and bake at 350 for 12-17 min, depending on the oven

Makes 12-20 muffins depending on the size muffins pans

Evereve large turquoise and gold statement ring and this delicate turquoise and gold bracelet. I love that it mixes and matches all my gold jewelry, yet it also works with several turquoise pieces I own.

3 Ways To Style The Spanx Air Essential Dress.

Hello Pretty ladies,

I hope your week has been going well. Life seems to go by faster and faster as we age, wouldn’t you agree? We’re already halfway thru April! How does that happen? Today, I share 3 ways to style the Spanx Air essential Dress.

This easy-to-wear buttery soft dress with pockets is easy to wear and style. With a mock neckline and a tank sleeve style, you’ll wear it all Spring and Summer. You can quickly wear this dress in many different ways, but today I am showing you three ways to style it for work wear, sporty chic, and for travel.

Work Wear

Spanx dress styled with the Spanx blazer.

The Spanx air essentials crew neck sweatshirt is over the shoulders for a fun detail. I chose the cognac color crew neck sweatshirt because it matched my Cecelia New York sandals and tied in with this vegan leather tote.

Finish off the look with Gold Accessories. This is a great professional look for work, a Zoom meeting, or a Business lunch.

This look is also comfortable to wear all day, yet removing the crew neck for a chic dress and blazer look could take you straight to a dinner date.

Shop the Look Below:

Sporty Chic

Spanx dress paired with a denim jacket immediately takes it to a more casual look. But take it to sporty chic by adding a fun Ball cap, big silver hoop earrings, White leather sneakers with a bit of silver detail, and a dressed-up belt bag with silver chain detail.

This Sports chic look is great for traveling, sightseeing, sporting events, or grabbing coffee with friends.

Again easy to wear, Easy to pack, and looks oh so put together.

Shop the look below:

Travel Vacation mode

I made the Spanx dress look like a skirt, paired with the Spanx Air essential crew neck sweatshirt, a cute Gigi pip Straw sun hat, an Amazon Find Straw bag, and fun Dolce Vita sandals. The espadrille platform is a fun look.

On a warmer day, you could easily swap out the crew neck sweatshirt for a button-up or oversized graphic tee. Or wear it with no layers.

I think a denim shirt tied around the waist would be cute.

A great alternative to wearing an extra layer is using it as an accessory on a warm day. This gives the layer a look without adding an entire layer.

Fashion Tip:

Adding texture to an outfit with accessories helps create a well-put-together look without much effort.

Think of different fabric mixes, adding texture to a shoe or a bag. Finally, jewelry finishes off the look.

Shop to look below:

How Hairstyles help create a look

Another thing to consider is how you style your hair for each look. Choose a hairstyle that will compliment the outfit.

Higher necklines look great with hair pulled back to show off the neckline. A top knot is a cute look with a work/office look. Glasses on the head as a fashion statement pull hair away from the face to show the neckline. Looks business-like as well.

Spanx discount Code

I have a discount code for any Spanx purchase. If you are interested, use the:

Easy Bruschetta Charcuterie Board For Dinner

Happy Sunday, Pretty Ladies,

I hope your Week was a good one. April is flying by, and we are finally having some Spring weather in Utah. Of course, spring in Utah will spring back and forth from Summer to Winter, sometimes on the same day. But I’ll take all the sunshine I can get. Today for “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy,” I share a family favorite. Easy Bruschetta Charcuterie Board For Dinner.

This is a great dinner idea that you can whip up quickly and refreshingly on a warm evening. I love to serve outside on the patio. Our family loves this meal, and I love that I can whip it up in under 30 minutes. Under 15 minutes if I use a couple of premade items. I like Trader Joe’s Bruschetta mix. Their French Baguettes are excellent, too, as well as the mozzarella balls or log. While you are at Trader Joe’s, grab the balsamic glaze too. Best price around.

If I can get farm-fresh tomatoes or homegrown, I love to make my bruschetta Recipe Here and serve tomatoes on the side deliciously with fresh basil, salt, and balsamic glaze. Yum

A light & easy dinner✔️ Bruschetta Charcuterie Board🥖 Serve alone or with a salad… My family loves this year-round but loves it with Farm Fresh tomatoes on summer nights. You might like the REEL I created to show how I created the board.

What you need to create a Bruschetta Charcuterie

-Fresh mozzarella

-Fresh basil

-Trader Joe’s Bruschetta or make your bruschetta depending on time etc. The recipe for my homemade Bruschetta is on the Blog here.

– Fresh Sea salt

-Balsamic glaze

-Fresh tomatoes
