Our Kiddos have both their birthdays, there is a BIG football game, and of course all the “Holidaying” with Turkey Day! Here is another snuggly look to keep the cold at bay! This newsboy hat is my jam lately! Sherpa is totally a “thing” right now and I am so happy because its so snuggly! I layered my basics with this fun buffalo check scarf, it adds texture and warmth- its perfect for the cooler months to layer with! Gotta have some good basics to wear under all ur fun statement items! My denim and top here on on that list for me. I hope you enjoyed today’s Outfit of the Day!

Monthly Favorites Recap: October

HI Friends!

What a Month!  I can’t recap the month without first extending a hand in gratitude to you, my tribe, this community. This month my life was FOREVER changed. It was quite emotional for me losing my Dad this month has totally rocked my world. But somehow each day I seem to wake up and I am determined to continue to press on. I am so happy for all the wonderful and kind words you have each said to me during this time. Many of you have showed even more bravery in sharing your own personal stories with me. Trust me it does not fall on deaf ears. Don’t you think that it helps to know you aren’t going through things alone? I hope for each of you, the pain subsides in some way and you are able to enjoy things in life again.

This cream sweater is a favorite for us for the past month and there’s no slowing this baby down! This color is big time perfect for winter!

 

This month we had a HUGE month of SO Many favorites! I really had to narrow it down because we hit it out of the park with so much cozy and sale items!

This cozy snap up fleece is SO insanely good, unfortunately nearly sold out– if you have yet to snag one you better!

Ya’ll by far one of THE most sought after jackets of ALL TIME! This traveler jacket is CRAZY good! You all must have the same feelings as me, Black is my Happy Color. I’m wearing a size L-put this baby on your Christmas list if you need to you wont regret it!

 

Oh the most coveted poncho of the month…Sadly sold out SEVERAL times. Relinking it for you Just in case it happens to decide to restock! 😉

 

 

My Microneedling Journey with Juvly

HI Friends!

Since there was so much interest and questions about my Microneedling appointment, I thought I would put together a blog post where you can find all the details along with photos from my experience. Microneedling has a BUNCH of benefits from fine lines, wrinkles, pore size and skin texture. I am really looking to improve the texture of my skin and reduce the pore size. I have quite a bit of acne scarring, with all the research that I have done, Microneedling will deliver the best results. Microneedling is suggested for anywhere from 3-6 treatments in order to achieve VERY noticeable results, so this will be a progressive post as I will be multiple treatments.

This was my very first ever treatment, needless to say I was a little nervous. Overall however, now being through it, I didn’t really need to be all that nervous. Yes there were moments that were uncomfortable, but it wasn’t that bad. My face was numbed all over, and actually that took the longest from start to finish. The actual process of Microneedling only took about 15-20 minutes- NOT BAD!

 

| IMMEDIATELY BEFORE |

| DURING |

I know this looks gnarly, but the purpose is to make you skin bleed. By doing this you are requiring your skin to repair and what happens when it does that is it will create Collagen and Elastin which will result in a more smooth look. As we age, our bodies don’t create that much anymore, so this is a treatment that will do it for you!

| IMMEDIATELY AFTER | 

Once all the blood was wiped away, it was just really red. It felt like a really strong sunburn, a little tight and hot. Over that night, It went away.

| MORNING AFTER |

Here you can see A LOT of my redness has gone away, but there are plenty of areas where the pen went in deeper which resulted in the redness and slight shadow bruising.

| ONE WEEK LATER |

                         

This pas week I had a tiny bit of peeling around my chin, which my provider told me that would be normal. Still a bit of discoloration, especially under my eyes. But that’s nothing makeup can’t handle. There is MARKED improvement on how smooth my skin is. The sizes of my pores have begun to reduce a tiny bit, but I think this is the area that will take a few more treatments in order to really see results.

My posting this journey is in hopes of helping others that might suffer from these same problems and showing you there is hope and help you find the courage to take action! You can find out the full details on pricing as well as other details the website of my provider here. Always, if you have any other questions about it, feel free to ask!

Thank you for stopping by!

Good Morning Friends!

I hope your week is going well! I am getting so excited for the upcoming holidays! I have been a busy bee planning away for the upcoming season and I just so excited! There will be some challenges for us certainly in our family, moving forward and finding our new normal after we lost my Dad a few weeks ago. Taking a deep breath and honoring him one day at a time.  Today’s Outfit of the day, is a fun graphic tee that really resonated with me right when I saw it. You know I’m a sucker for a good graphic tee! Just be NICE! ha, I feel like I say that to my kids 1000000 times a day.  But really its pretty fundamental, and you can go far when you are just NICE! 🙂

The rest of my outfit you likely have seen here before, these high waisted denim are AWWESOME, this moto jacket can be worn with so many things and is super versatile!

Look of the Day: Long Cardigan and Denim

Hey Friends!

Happy Tuesday! The OOTD today was inspired by fall feels but warm temps. Maybe this speaks more to my Southern Ladies more than my Midwest Ladies at this point in October, but the struggle is real! Layering is key! I really like lightweight layers specifically for that reason, its easy to add warmth without feeling bulky.  This long cardigan I have had for some time, I did link several here below for you that are very similar. All these pieces here are pretty basic, and very affordable so you can easily replicate this on your own. My booties here are also worth noting about, they are SO GOOD! They are great for the casual looks but also I will definitely be dressing them up this winter. The wedge is a great height so you will still fee stable!

I so hope you enjoyed today’s Look of The Day, I would love to see how you style it on your own!

Hey Friends,

I hope your week is going well, its nearly the weekend! What are your plans this weekend?! I am working on halloween costumes again, and the never ending laundry pile that I can’t seem to put away on the same day its been washed. HALP!  Today’s Outfit of the Day is one I kind of have been saving, I LOVE it so much! I have waited for just the right time, meaning I needed it be slightly a bit cooler outside, girls THIS SWEATER! OMG. so good. the chenille is SO soft and love the length of it– you can easily wear it with leggings or with denim like it did here. It’s available in several different colors so if this off white color isn’t your style, I urge you to check out the other options. I have featured this sweater once before and paired it with leggings, you can see that post here. I remixed it again today, with denim and added our famous leopard booties! Did you grab yours yet?! These jeans are some of the best fitting and lighter distressed denim that I own!  These all three items are a BIG TIME favorite here with us, how about just put them all together?! Fall perfection. Its an easy way to combine comfort and chic style!  It’s a great look that is perfect for errands, daytime lunches and weekend wear.

Thank you so much for stopping by, and I can’t wait to see how you style it!

It’s a new week! New goals and a new hope for happiness this week! Today’s outfit is remixed with one of my favorite dresses! I have showed this to you before, on a Sunday dressy look– and today’s is for more of a casual look. This dress is so affordable, so comfortable and is so versatile! The green vest adds a touch for layering and little bit of edge! These booties are a newer purchase for me, and I LOVE that they are edgy and fun at the same time! This is such a great look for lunch or shopping with the girls or fall wine tasting! Very easy, casual and such a fun look for fall!
