How to style this top

This top is a top you can dress up or down. Here I am wearing the top with Black distressed jeans, black slides with brass bows, and gold jewelry.

So many ways to style.

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

 

Hello Pretty Ladies,

This is my easy and oh so delicious Avocado toast recipe. Fun Fact: I was not too fond of avocados until a couple of years ago. I was not too fond of the texture. Now, I eat one every day and could eat this Toast every day! I am not going to chat today. I am just getting to the recipe!

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Avocado Toast Recipe:

You’ll need the following:

1 Avocado Cut up and mashed, seasoned with Everything bagel seasoning. 

2 slices of Toast buttered (We love sourdough)

1 Egg scrambled or cooked the way you liked. Salt and peppered! (I had a little shredded cheese on my Egg)

1 Farm fresh Tomato sliced and seasoned with Everything bagel seasoning

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Assemble: 

Make sure your Toast is toasted well. This helps the bread from getting soggy. I also like my Toast buttered. 

Once you have all of the above prep, Egg cooked, Toast toasted and buttered, Avocado cut mashed and seasoned, tomato sliced and seasoned. You assemble. 

I like to spread the Avocado first. This acts like glue for the Egg; add Egg, layer tomato, and sprinkle with a bit of extra bagel seasoning! 

That’s it! Taste fantastic and better than any restaurant Avocado toast! (I am sure the key is butter, everything bagel seasoning, and a farm-fresh tomato)

 

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Avocado Keeper (trust me, it really works)

3 Card Games For Datenight

3 Card Games For Datenight

3 Card Games For Datenight

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you have a great start to a new month. Can you believe it is August, and fall is fast approaching? I thought it was that time again to share a date night idea. You know I love spending time with my hubby and that we love a good date night. I try to share with you every so often fun date nights. Below I am sharing 3 Card Games For Datenight! 

One of them was my favorite as a kid as we played UNO as a family and at all the holidays with relatives.

3 Card Games For Datenight

A bit of quality time can go a long way when it comes to deepening your relationship. The Gottman Institute states that dedicating two hours a week to romantic dates, including playing games or having meals together, is fundamental to creating a happy and healthy relationship.

Playing games can also be necessary for newer couples who want to break the ice and learn more about each other. After all, there’s always something new that you can learn about your partner, no matter how long you’ve been together!

So whether you’re getting to know each other or simply finding ways to liven up your dates, here are a few card games that can help you break the ice:

3 Card Games For Datenight

UNO

UNO is a well-loved card game that’s both fun and nostalgic.

In fact, UNO is a part of many family traditions and can be an exciting conversation starter. The rules remain simple and consistent: you can shuffle the deck before providing seven cards to each player. Then, you’ll take turns drawing a face-up card from the rest of the stack so that you can match one of your seven cards with the number or color of the face-up card. As you take turns drawing and matching cards, you can take this opportunity to talk about fun childhood memories regarding UNO. By taking your partner through memory lane, you can learn a bit more about each other and have a lot more fun while doing it.

Texas Hold ’em

Sometimes, you need a bit of competition to break the ice.

If you and your partner want some friendly competition, you can learn how to play Texas Hold ’em by going over the game’s rules together. In this poker variation, you and your partner will have to create the best five-card hand out of a set of seven cards: the five community cards that are revealed to all the players and the two hole cards that are unique for each player.

Poker players typically bet their chips based on the ranking of their own cards, but you can make your date even more fun by betting a funny dare or offering your partner’s favorite things as a prize instead. By raising the stakes in a creative way, a simple game of poker can lead to more fun experiences during your date.

Bridge

You can also break the ice by inviting another couple and playing a card game on your double date.

Renowned tennis player Martina Navratilova plays bridge socially and has found that it helps her quickly meet new friends. This social aspect means it’s also an excellent option for helping two couples bond with one another. Since teamwork is crucial in this card game, you and your partner will need to plan and coordinate accordingly so that you can deal with both of your hands well. By the end of the game, you’ll come out with a much better rapport.

Actually Curious

Got a question that you’ve always wanted to ask your partner about? Try playing the Actually Curious card game.

Creator Michael Tennant created game mechanics that lower players’ defenses and egos and allows players to speak with greater openness and intent. They are playing the Actually Curious card game challenges individuals to answer thought-provoking questions with honesty while also teaching the other party how to harness their empathy and active listening skills. Trying this game on your date can help you gain a deeper understanding of each other and grow much closer.

Card games can make your date even more interesting by providing thought-provoking questions or even a bit of a challenge. By playing one of these card games, you can make sure that you’re having the most fun while you’re in each other’s company.

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

I worked with Station Park in Farmington, Ut, a couple of weeks ago. .on the Opening of one of their sister properties Mountain View Village in Riverton, Utah. What made this even more exciting is Dawn with Party til Dawn, a long-time social media friend who works with one of their sister properties Totem Lake in Washington. She was flying in so we could work together on covering the Grand Opening of Mountain View and a little bit of Station Park. 

Talk about the perfect opportunity to Mix Business with Friendship…Dawn and I met on Instagram and became fast friends. We have a lot in common; our styles are very similar, we’re both midlifers, love our families, think a lot alike, and work for some of the same brands. We also both have working relationships with the Center Cal group. Not to mention texting each other daily. But, meeting each other in person was just so exciting. We felt like we’d known each other forever.

Cabana Life's New Summer Collection

 

Hello pretty Ladies,

Can you believe how fast Summer is flying by? We’re heading into the 3rd week of July and I can’t believe it. Utah’s Summer weather didn’t kick in until a couple of weeks ago and then it came in blazing! I don’t know about you but I want Summer to slow down a little bite. I need more pool & lake days. 

If you have been following me, then you know I am a Cabana Life clothing Partner for 2022 and Have enjoyed sharing the brand and featuring the New launches and styles. When I caught sight of this Eyelet collection I was smitten.

Cabana Life’s New Summer Eyelet Collection

Cabana Life is known for spf50 swimwear and resort wear. Designed by a Skin cancer survivor. This new Eyelet collection is a little different for Cabana Life as it’s still Spf50 protection but it’s more of daily summer wear versus resort or swimwear. 

Eyelet has always been one of my favorite summer fabrics and when I saw this pink tie-shoulder dress, I knew I needed it in my summer dress collection and you do too.

7 Items you need to update your Summer Wardrobe!

 

Hello Pretty Ladies, I hope you have a great start to your week. Today, I have a fashion segment on Good Things Utah. I have chosen to share with you the 7 Items you need to update your Summer Wardrobe on the segment! Of course, it’s always great to use what you have and “shop your closet,” but adding a few pieces to “freshen up your Summer wardrobe” can be affordable and give your wardrobe a minor update.

I have chosen seven essential items that help do just that! Affordable, classics, and a couple of HOT Trending items. Want to watch the segment live? You can stream it Here at 10:00 am mnt. If you miss it, I will Link it Here after the show.

Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah

Update your Summer Wardrobe

1. Oversized button up-

white or stripe for the coastal vibe or bright and colorful. Great to style with shorts, over a tee shirt dress, or worn with linen pants. Every wardrobe needs a good button-up.

 

 

10 Outfits Inspired By Coastal Grandmother

2. Linen Pants –

(Old Navy & Target have great $20-25 ones) Linen is a Classic Summer staple. With so many ways to style with ease, perfect pants forTravel as well!

 

 

3. Straw/Raffia-

A great way to add texture to your outfit. Whether a hat or a bag, this gives your look that Summer vibe! This is also a great way to add in a style that might be trending. You can find either one at all price points, and I am sharing a couple from Amazon, Walmart, and Nordstrom. 

Hats

 

 

Bags

 

 

 

4. Nude Sandals-

A great nude sandal is always a classic wardrobe builder but is also fun to add to a trending style. Sides, braided, and transparent looks are trending, which gives a great update to your wardrobe.

 

 

 

3 Ways To Style Amazon Short Set

5. 2 Piece Sets-

TRENDING A two-piece set is having a big moment right now, and I love it! Great for Traveling, so easy to style, and a great way to mix and match. 

You can find sets in Shorts, pants, and skirt sets. Today I am featuring this great chambray pant set! Perfect pieces to mix and match.

 

 

6. Colorful Printed Dress-

Have you noticed every summer that there’s a certain print you see a ton of for that season! It’s a great tip to pick up a dress in that Seasons “It pattern.” 

Instant wardrobe update, easy and fun to wear, and you can grab an affordable dress at H&M, Target, and Walmart, an excellent Style tip for shopping seasonal trendy pieces.

 

 

7. Bangles-

I love Arm candy or a great bracelet stack. Whether you love color, beads, or gold, adding an excellent bracelet stack adds texture and looks pretty on your wrist with the shorter summer season tops, Tanks, and dresses. This Amazon set is a deal… set of 4

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🤍🤍

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