It’s still snowing here (and I’m over it) but that doesn’t stop me from thinking about all the pretty pastel, ruffle-ey dresses out there for spring and summer! Today I am sharing some of my favorite modest maxi dresses with short and long sleeves that would be perfect for any event that you may have coming up. I’ll also share the one that I just ordered for myself for Easter Sunday!

Modest Maxi Dresses

In my opinion, there is nothing that makes a woman feel more feminine and pretty than a beautiful, flowy, floral dress.

Here are a few dresses that have caught my eye this season that would be perfect to wear to weddings, cruises, fancy dinners, and even church!

Grab these new arrivals before your size sells out. I’ve always found that a beautiful maxi or midi dress is worth the investment because of the cost per use. Figure the price into how many years you’ll enjoy the dress.

Each one of these dresses are available now. They are current and ready to be added to your cart from some of my favorite websites.

Which dress did I buy?

Good question!

I bought the first two on the very top left and linked below.

I really liked the two tone colors of the pink and red one, but I think the floral dress has my heart. They haven’t arrived yet, but I’ll be sharing both of them over on my Instagram page when I try them on.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t WAIT until Congress outlaws Daylight Savings Time once and for all! Because, as delightful as “springing forward” sounds, it sure kicks me in the hiney!!! Sleep Awareness Week was launched in 1998 to remind us of the importance of improving our sleep to better serve our mental and physical health.  And it just so happens to be the week following the start of daylight savings time when we all lose an hour of sleep!!  Today I thought I would share some favorite sleep items to help us get through this week.

Sleep Awareness Week … Amazon style

• Wake Up Light Sunrise Alarm – This is a popular alarm that simulates the sunrise as it starts out dim and gets to full brightness 30 minutes later.
• Sleep Mask – This sleep mask is better than the others because it doesn’t smash your eyes and your lashes! It has thousands of good reviews and I like the extra room it gives your eyes.
• Essential Oils Diffuser – Diffuse that lavender as you drift off to sleep. This can be used as a nightlight, set a timer, and has a remote control.
• Cropped Pink Pajamas – How cute is this set for the warmer months?
• Pullover Tee Pajama Set – I love this casual tee top tucked in, super cute!
• Long Sleeve Pajama Set – I have this set and love it!
• Weighted Blanket – This is a cooling weighted blanket that is breathable! It sounds wonderful!

A few more sleeping tips

Having a good sleep schedule is important. But knowing about sleep cycles is even more important because if you wake up before a cycle is over, you won’t feel as good as if you wake up at the end of a sleep cycle.

Did you know that?

I have used this sleep calendar for years and find it very helpful in feeling my best when I wake up each day.

Oftentimes, people with insomnia are low in magnesium. Try taking a magnesium supplement before bed. I take 2 of these each and every night which helps with my blood pressure (recommended by my naturopathic doctor) and I always sleep like a baby!

Another good one, try to be consistent!! And have you heard that every hour of sleep before midnight is worth two after midnight? Put that to the test! I’m a huge believer.

Thank you so much for being here, I appreciate you stopping by my blog!!

You know the feeling when you are eating healthy, you’re exercising moderately, but you still can’t get those extra pounds off? Boy, I sure do!! All too well. About a year ago, I noticed my menopausal belly creep into existence.  I’ve never had that before and it was a little annoying! But there it was and I couldn’t make it go away like I used to be able to.  If you are feeling my pain, I have some good news for you!  I am 54 and have been using TrimFit for 2 months now and have lost 11 pounds, without exercising other than walking my dog!

Not only that but I feel really good, which is important to me as a busy mom and blogger.

And it’s usually not easy to lose weight at my age anymore!!!

Before I go any further, here is the info you need if you wish to jump on the bandwagon. Click HERE and use code CAMMI for a 15% discount and subscribe for another 10% discount.  You are not locked in, you can cancel or change your subscription at any time. Even if you have buyer’s remorse and want to cancel the next day, it’s fine, so getting that extra 10% off is a no-brainer.  

TrimFit – reach those goals!

Personally, I only have about 10-15 lbs to lose.

But look at my friend Christine who has been using these products for 4 months! This is her 3 month photo, holy cow!!!

And she doesn’t even exercise… she says she’s allergic to it, ha!

“I do NOT believe in diets.  Have I tried them before? Yes! Do I feel like it sets me up for failure? Yes! If you crave something or want something to eat, EAT IT! But eat a very small portion of it! If you deprive yourself of something, you may go crazy and just give up on your “diet.”

I could not do portion control and no snacking without TrimFit. You have got to be consistent and take your products daily and not skip days.” – Christine

 

And at her 4-month mark, she just announced that she has lost 50 lbs!!!

Here is her typical daily timeline of exactly how she has been able to accomplish that.

Another great transformation photo from Brittany! She says,

Started at 199 and today I am 141.8 – down 57.2lbs in 5 months! Moderate exercise: usually 2-3 a week on the treadmill on an incline or my peloton bike for 30-45 mins keeping my heart rate at 140-150 the whole time. One scoop of trimfit a day in the am mixed with the collagen and followed by the probiotic! Cut 60-80percent of gluten and flour out of my diet.

How can you get results like these?

Whether you have a little to lose or a lot to lose, you landed here for a reason.

If you follow the same routine, you should get the same results.

My personal routine and how I’ve lost 11 lbs in 2 months:

And I was on a cruise for a week and a half of those 2 months!!!

Hot lemon water first thing in the morning to correct my body’s pH.

One packet of Protect Probiotic and allow it to dissolve on my tongue…it’s delicious!

1 scoop of TrimFit and 1 scoop of Collagen in my Stanley mug and drink throughout the day. When I get down to half, I refill it with water and do it again. Drink halfway, refill with water. You can drink them separately if you want it less sweet if you prefer.

Use code CAMMI for a 15% discount and subscribe for another 10% discount.  You are not locked in, you can cancel or change your subscription at any time. Even if you have buyer’s remorse and want to cancel the next day, it’s fine, so getting that extra 10% off is a no-brainer.  

I’ve cut back on carbs.

I’ve cut out sugar.

I add a lean source of protein to each meal and snack.

80-100 oz. water each day

I’m eating smaller portions because the TrimFit curbs my appetite and I feel fuller faster – gamechanger!!!

This photo was taken after one month of using the products and down 6 lbs.

Here’s what you do.

I highly suggest you buy the bundle of the 3 products because they are formulated to work together and you will see the greatest results.

Your body needs all 3 anyway, so why not use products that have been formulated to work together?

Let me be clear… I buy my own products.  These are not gifted to me. I am subscribed to, and I purchase all 3 because I don’t ever want to be without them!

Why do I love these products?

Here’s why.

I started the TrimFit and Collagen at the same time 2 months ago. It was right at the start of the year. I was ready to lose the weight that had slowly crept up on me over the holidays and for about the past 6 months, really.

They say it isn’t a “miracle drink” and that you can’t keep eating pizza and cookies and drink this and expect to lose weight.

I knew that.

And I was dedicated to starting back on my keto diet which I had gotten from my nutritionist.

Here’s what I noticed:

I felt great,

I have more energy,

I’m not as hungry so I make better food choices,

I feel more focused,

and I don’t need an afternoon nap for the first time in FOREVER!

Also… my menopausal belly is smaller.

What is TrimFit?

TrimFit is a product that:

• burns fat
• controls appetite
• increases energy

You can read the details about it HERE.

But for me, I absolutely LOVE how it tastes and how it helps curb my appetite AND burns my fat! I have fewer cravings so I’m not snacking throughout the day. And because I’m not hungry when I eat, I feel full faster.

This is a MUST for me.

What about collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies. As we age, we produce less and less and lower quality collagen.

It is the glue that holds things together and is beneficial to our hair, skin, and nails, but also to our joints!  It’s packed with vitamins and nutrients, and is hydrolyzed, meaning there is a 98% absorption rate which is unheard of! Typically, the absorption rate for collagen that comes in pills and powders is 39%-53%.

I have bursitis in my shoulder and have been putting off getting another cortisone injection. I had one about 8 years ago but have since learned that they are actually not good for joints and cause cartilage to break down.

After only a weeks on this collagen my pain was about 90% gone!!!

It also helps bones, muscles, and soreness.

Look at what this collagen has done for my dear friend, Jenny’s skin who has suffered all her life from rosacea!

And another successful skin before and after…

Why use Protect Probiotic?

This is the most advanced and delicious pre and probiotic on the market!

The probiotics help clean the gut and products work better in a clean gut. Your mental health is also affected by your gut health.

Did you know that 90%-95% of serotonin is produced in the gut? Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical in our bodies!

So, we are literally bio-hacking our own happiness when we take a probiotic!

There are 6 billion CFUs delivered at the time of consumption… not production… consumption! This is what helps our bodies absorb more nutrients. It comes in little packets that are so FUN to consume… it literally tastes like a healthy pixie stick!!!

The best news ever??

The company believes so much in its product that they are offering a 100% satisfaction guarantee within the first couple of weeks of trying it.

You’ve got nothing to lose!!!

For a company to provide that on a weight loss product is HUGE because someone could literally eat pizza and cookies, and then get their money back, fully refunded.

But if you are serious about shedding those last few pounds, or if you have 20+ pounds you’d like to lose, this will be your new best friend!!

AND… check the reviews… there are 1900+ 5 star reviews!

Now, that is saying something!!!

More before and after photos of women losing weight with Trimfit

These have all been shared inside the Facebook group.

I don’t believe in miracle products

But I do believe products can play a HUGE role in helping you succeed with your weight loss goals.  You have to make some slight changes. Increase your water, portion control, and eliminate anything that makes you feel yucky, like gluten.

NOTE: If you are on meds that have a side effect of gaining weight, you may have trouble.

Be loyal to yourself!

Don’t cheat on yourself!

Make it a goal that you are going to do it! Take before and after photos and don’t give up!

Don’t blame the supplements if you really aren’t doing what it takes!

Men can do this too.

Let me know if you try it!

One more thing, for all of my influencer/blogger friends out there. This company is so new (just under 2 years old) and killing it! Their crazy goal at the onset was 1 MIL in sales in one year. They are already on track to making 1 MIL in sales in one month!! 

Yu Beauty is going places and they really take care of their affiliates, like me, with great commissions, bonuses, and even profit sharing!! (absolutely unheard of in the affiliate world!)

You don’t have to sell a million dollars to make money with this company.  If you make 1 sale, you can enter to win a bonus, every month.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT MULTI LEVEL MARKETING, NETWORK MARKETING, OR DIRECT SALES

Do the following things apply to you?

• You have at least 1000 followers on a social media platform
• You live in the US or Canada
• You must be at least 18 years old
• You must have a Paypal (because that is how you will get paid)

and you would like to make some great money like I do, please fill out the application HERE.

And let me know if you do!

The post Trimfit – Reach Your Weight Loss Goals… appeared first on MY HAPPY PLACE.

Continuing with my cruise posts, because I have so much to say, there are a few things that you really must take with you! In my opinion, they are “musts” but really they simply make life easier on a cruise. So don’t forget these 5 things when going on a cruise. Have them on hand so you can add them to the suitcase while checking off your packing list.

Don’t forget these 5 things when going on a cruise

1 – A waterproof underwater phone case.

Chances are you might be snorkeling or petting stingrays.  If you don’t have a GoPro,  pick up an underwater case for your phone! I got the Body Glove Tidal Wave Waterproof Phone Case specifically for my iPhone 13, but they have them to fit all different phones.

I was super pleased with the quality! The videos turned out great, and very clear! They tell you to do a “tissue test” underwater before submerging your phone in it, just to be sure there are no flaws. That sold me on trusting that I could stick my phone underwater for the first time. Because that’s a little hard to do!!

Some of the reviews say they didn’t like it because of the muffled sound. Well, this case is meant to be used underwater! I didn’t mind the muffled sound at all… in fact, underwater it sounded very clear, in my opinion. Sure, if you want to talk on the phone or record other videos it might sound muffled. Because hello… it’s a waterproof case!!! It’s protecting your phone.

2 – A lanyard necklace.

When you arrive on board the ship, they will issue you a key card. This will be your key that not only gets you into your stateroom but will also get you on and off the ship at the different ports that you will be stopping at. It also is your mode of currency… if you are buying drinks or shopping aboard the ship, they will scan your key card.

You really should have it with you at all times.

Instead of using an ugly lanyard that you got from some conference somewhere, get something that looks like a piece of jewelry!

You can see I’m wearing mine here:

My particular lanyard necklace is old and no longer available but I found some really cute new ones!

Check out this 2 pack that comes in silver and gold or this beaded option is quite adorable! But if I were buying a new one, I’d probably go for this paperclip chain lanyard.

3 – Solar Recover

Alright, let’s be honest.  Chances are pretty good that you might get a sunburn while on a cruise. You will want something that will take the red out and calm your skin. A woman on Grand Caymen saw my red, sunburned back and told me that I needed to get the Solar Renew After Sun Spray and that it takes the red out. She swears by it! She even told me to visit her stateroom back on the ship and she’d let me try it! It has lots of good natural ingredients to calm the skin.

After seeing all those reviews, I bought some for myself, summer is coming, after all.

Go ahead and grab the 2 pack because it’s a better value and you’ll always use it.

4 – Magnetic hooks

You will have a couple of hooks in your stateroom but there are never enough, in my opinion.

Pack one or two extra magnetic hooks that you can stick on the metal wall of your stateroom and you’ll be glad you did!

Our room had a couple but I added another two.

There’s not a lot of extra space to hang hats, wet swimming suits, and beach bags, and even your lanyard can be right there handy to grab on your way out the door! And it’s such a better alternative than hanging things over the chair or on the desk.

5 – Your big mug

Pack your Stanley or whatever favorite mug you use because you will want to have it there!  They won’t let you aboard with any kind of drink in it, so pack it empty inside your luggage. But then you’ll have it to fill up and keep hydrated!

And if you haven’t treated yourself to a Stanley 40 oz Tumbler, what are you waiting for?

It’s beautiful and the water tastes better in it! Really!!! I don’t know how… but it does.

It’s easier to get your total daily water intake!

The narrow base fits any car cup holder!

Alrighty! Don’t forget these 5 things, use this checklist and you’ll have everything you need for your cruise!! 

Also, you can read about where we went and what we did on our cruise here.

Bon voyage!!!

The post Don’t Forget These 5 Things When Cruising… appeared first on MY HAPPY PLACE.

We feel so blessed to have been able to go on a Caribbean cruise this month… the Caribbean is one of my favorite places on earth! You can read where we went, the ship we were on, and what we did in this post. But today I am sharing some swimsuits and outfit ideas for a Caribbean cruise or really for any tropical vacation! This is the what-I-took-with-me edition.

Outfit ideas and swimsuits for a Caribbean Cruise

These are outfits and swimsuits that I took with me and wore on the cruise and to the different ports and evening activities. There are so many things to consider when packing because chances are, you could be wearing 3 different outfits in a single day! Of course that depends on your schedule and what you have planned.

For example, you may start the day in shorts and t-shirt, get to a beach and change into your swimsuit, and then dress up for dinner later that night. Or maybe you’ll want to stay in your swimsuit all day but want to take a cover up for a little more coverage while eating lunch and shopping.

Let’s start with swimsuits and move onto outfits afterward, how about that?

But first, I made a checklist for you.

Outfit ideas for cruising

What to take?

I would say you would need these things:

When considering swimsuits and outfit ideas for a Caribbean cruise, I tried to stick with neutrals because I knew that I could mix and match pieces and come up with many different combos.

Outfit for the plane ride

This is the outfit that I packed for flying to and from Florida. It is the AirEssentials Tapered Pant and AirEssentials Crew from Spanx.

I picked it for its comfort, the super soft fabric, the darling LOOK, and I added a small t-shirt underneath the crew neck sweater because once I got to Florida, I could take off the sweater and wrap it around my waist.

Also, you can adjust your temperature on the plane too.. at one point I got hot and took my sweater off. The minute we landed, I was cold again and put it back on.

I wore it on the plane the way there and the way home.

tapered pants  |  crew neck sweater  |  similar shoes  |  backpack

Swimsuits

I took 6 swimsuits on the trip… too much?

In my opinion, no!

I like having a fresh, clean, different suit to wear each day.

Here are the 6 suits that I took with me.

**A NOTE ABOUT SIZING: I am typically a small on top and a medium on the bottom.  But in swimsuits I like to size up to a large for comfort. I’ve never had that be too big or have them be baggy when they get wet.

The Green Jenna Zipper One Piece Swimsuit

It has a great quality zipper and racer back detail in the back. It comes in other colors, too! I am really liking the olive green for this season.

swimsuit  |  cutoff shorts  |  straw hat

The Miraclesuit Alina Asymmetrical Neck Swim Dress

I LOVE this suit… it’s so flattering! The coverage that the attached skirt provides keeps me feeling effortlessly confident. Definitley size up on this one… it’s called a Miraclesuit for a reason and definitely holds you in tight.  You’re going to have to shimmy it on, but once it’s on it feels great and you look great!!!

And how DARLING is that neckline???

In this photo I’m wearing it with the long sleeve coverup dress … better than ANY swim kimono!! And so classy!

swimsuit  |  shirt dress  |  hat  |  sunglasses  |  sandals

The Magicsuit Diana Black Embellished Swimsuit

The studded detail is what sold me on this particular suit! I love how they come in strategically at the waist for a flattering look. Throw on some cutoff shorts for a little more coverage at the bootie for walking around and shopping, etc.

swimsuit  |  shorts  |  gauze button down

swimsuit  |  black shirt dress  |  sandals  |  hat
  sunglasses

The Sav – Light Pink One Piece

If you want to turn some heads this summer, this is the suit for you!!! Isn’t it pretty? Add the matching Pink Chiffon Wrap for a stunningly gorgeous silhouette!!! It’s perfect for a day at a resort or at sea on a cruise ship.

The wrap skirt is long and I am 5’6″ but if you are more of a petite gal, I saw on Instagram where a smaller woman tied it up in a knot… still super cute!

swimsuit  |  wrap skirt 

The Coral Gables Ruffle One-Piece

I adore the ruffle on this feminine swimsuit! This is one that I would go with your normal size… don’t size up. And how great does it look with these coordinating Tulum Palazzo Pants?? I went all over Nassau in this cute combo and was perfectly comfortable. I did add a White Gauze Tunic Top to cover my shoulders while we rode the scooter and I would highly recommend it! It’s nice and long, providing great coverage to wear over a swimsuit, leggings, or anything!

swimsuit  |  palazzo pant  |  shoes  |  gauze shirt  |  hat  |  sunglasses 

Last suit – The Black Front Crossover One Piece 

I’ve had this suit for a few years now and it’s been a favorite. It’s literally the perfect suit that is comfortable and cute! Oddly enough, I didn’t get any photos of it other than this one that I snap chatted the kids with.

The Torte Sunglasses were fabulous and went with me everywhere! They are smooth, with no nose hardware, so they don’t get caught in your hair and come with a nice hard case to protect them when they get thrown in the beach bag.

Additionally, the Black Trim Straw Hat was my best friend throughout the trip!

Outfit ideas for evenings

This Ellis Jacquard White/Gold Velveer Dress is probably my new favorite dress of all time! It makes me feel like a literal princess! I wore this on the dressy/formal night.

It is modest in every way and just so feminine and pretty!

dress  |  shoes  |  small crossbody

dress  |  shoes 

In fact, you should definitely check out DM Fashion and see all the great dresses they have. They are a FABULOUS site for dresses that you can wear to church or anywhere.

In this next outfit, I’m wearing my traveling tapered pants and added a t-shirt and the black swim coverup for a strikingly good look, if I do say so myself!

black tee  |  tapered pants  |  sheer swim cover up  |  similar shoes 

necklace

Below I’m wearing my new favorite black jeans for spring and summer! They have a shark bite hem that is so flattering and fit perfectly! Topped with the best quality shacket with the best color for summer that makes you look tan!

jeans  |  tee  |  shacket  |  shoes 

Next is the prettiest resort dress from Avara! So flowy, so light and airy!! You can use my code CAMMI15 at checkout for a 15% discount on anything on the site! You’ll love their colorful style that is perfect for vacations!

dress  |  sandals

You will feel so pretty in it….PROMISE!!!!

Boy, that was a long post!!! Which look did you like the best? I’d love to know!

The post Swimsuits and Outfit Ideas for a Caribbean Cruise… appeared first on MY HAPPY PLACE.

What a wonderful week and a half we’ve had! Our Caribbean cruise of 2023 is officially over and we are flying home on the plane as I type this. It was WONDERFUL!

The Caribbean Cruise of 2023

This year, we booked a cruise aboard the beautiful Nieuw Statendam ship with Holland America. We paid extra in order to have a balcony room and that’s something that I will never regret! It’s so worth it to me to look outside from the privacy of your own balcony and not have to go out on a deck with all the other people.

Walk out on the balcony in the morning in your pajamas and watch the sunrise.

Sit out on the balcony in the evening and relax in the moonlight while you listen to the mesmerizing sound of the water beneath the ship.

If you are one like me and sometimes feel a little uneasy on a ship, this is worth the money ten times over, in my opinion! If I feel the ship a’rockin’ it’s nice to step outside and see that you’re really not about to tip over. It’s peaceful and it’s calming.

Preparing for the cruise

Before you go, I have to say this. There is nothing like planning a tropical vacation where you’ll be sitting around in your swimsuits all day, to get you motivated to look your best!

There is no putting it off when there is a deadline!!!

I started right after the turn of the New Year on a good eating plan to drop the pounds that crept up on me over the holidays… and to be honest… the entire last year!!

Mindful eating, along with the help of my new favorite weight loss buddy TrimFit, I was able to lose 8 pounds in just over a month!

PLUS I have more energy!!

PLUS I feel an overall mood boost every single day that I drink it!!

I packed it in my luggage and took it with me everywhere we went.

Basically, I never want to be without it.  I have a subscription so it comes to my home monthly. That way I will never run out. If you subscribe, you get the benefit of an extra 10% off and if you use code CAMMI at checkout, you get an additional 15% off!

Give it a try!!! Click HERE to get started.  OH… and FYI… you might as well subscribe to the collagen and the probiotic as well. BOTH of which I am also subscribed to and can tell you that I haven’t found anything that I love as much!

Seriously… the probiotic is like a healthy pixie stick! I look forward to it every day!

A note about luggage

I’ve never realized more, how AWESOME it is to have luggage that stands out in a crowd! I’ve always had typical black.

But this gorgeous set of luggage was so easy to spot amidst the thousands of pieces of luggage and glided beautifully throughout the airport. My floral color is sold out but the pink is still available and on clearance for a great price for this set!!!

Back to the cruise…

Ports of call

Ours was a western Caribbean cruise and the places we visited were Half Moon Cay, Caymen Islands, Jamaica, and Nassau. Each stop was wonderful in its own way and, coincidentally, each stop we had been to before.

Half Moon Cay

I have been waiting ever since we booked this cruise to feel the sand on this island!!! It is like flour! It’s so fine and so soft and just like I remembered!

We just swam, snorkeled, ate, walked along the white sand beaches, and laid in the sun.

There really wasn’t much reef so the snorkeling isn’t great… but we didn’t mind.

It’s truly a tropical island paradise!!

They offer clamshell rentals which are little umbrella huts with two chairs so that you can get out of the sun but we didn’t feel it was worth it. The ship serves lunch where you are out of the sun anyway and we had to be back on the ship by 3:00.

We just wanted to enjoy allll the sunshine!!!

Georgetown, Caymen Islands

We decided to book the Stingray City and Swim with the Dolphins excursion on Grand Caymen.

We took a boat ride out to the most amazing place in the ocean…

..where we could stand on a sandbar in just 3-4 feet of water and pet the stingrays!

It was nothing like I had imagined… look at all the people out to see the stingrays! So many people and stingrays everywhere!

I didn’t get too close since they kind of freak me out ever since the Crocodile Hunter was killed by one.

When I say I didn’t get too close… I mean to the barb on the tail.

But I did touch it, connect with its precious spirit, and even pretend to kiss it, haha!

Just look what I caught underwater… you can see their little breathing holes open and close!

Pretty cool.

Then off to the dolphins which was A WONDERFUL TIME!!!!

Now, these babies I was totally fine getting up close and personal with!

Everyone should do this once in their lifetime.

They are amazing and so smart! And I think their handlers and trainers have the best job in the world!!! It was precious to watch their interaction and eagerness to obey commands for a fishy treat.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Our very first cruise 20 years ago brought us to Ocho Rios and we were so excited to go back!

We hiked the Dunn’s River Falls back then and knew that we wanted to do that again… it’s quite an exhilarating experience!

It’s a must-do if you are ever on Ocho Rios!

Definitley take good water shoes and a waterproof camera case because you’ll want photos!!

After we climbed the falls we went to a place called The Blue Hole.

Our little taxi driver guy told us it is more fun than the falls but I have to disagree.

Call me unadventurous… but it was a little scary for me.

It was a lot of jumping off cliffs which I don’t do. But if you like that, definitely go see this place.

I mean look at the blood on my Ricky’s head! He thinks that was just from his own fingernail… but still.

There was a couple’s jump in which I didn’t participate… in fact, I didn’t participate in ANY of the jumps.

I’m a wuss when it comes to this kind of adventure. No shame.

To be quite honest, I was happy to leave haha!

Regardless, it was a really great day.

Last stop – Nassau

The ONE THING I wanted to do while on this island was to go see the underwater Ocean Atlas, a statue of a woman underwater holding up the weight of the world.

It’s quite amazing, have you heard of it?

We hopped off the boat and Rick was approached by a guy with scooters and he got really excited and couldn’t say no! Years ago, we rode scooters all around the island of Cozumel and have such fond memories of sightseeing that way!

I would highly recommend doing this!

Here’s our buddy Shane who “gave us a deal” because the boss was asleep haha!

We headed out to Providence to do some snorkeling and see the large underwater statue and it was amazing!

So fun! A little eery, but very cool to see.

Then we ate some lunch at the Fish Fry which was a string of places selling fish! We went into Oh Andros and I had the best lobster of my life! I don’t know if I was just extremely hungry or what but it was fried and delicious!!!!

Looking at it again makes my mouth water!

And there’s my TrimFit again!!

It was a wonderful trip!

That sums up our Caribbean Cruise 2023 in a nutshell, but check back! Because I had so much interest in the outfits and swimsuits that I took on the trip that I’m going to post all about those next!

Today I am sharing more of my favorite jeans for women over 50. Flare leg jeans really resonate with some of us midlifers, but sometimes older women are hesitant to buy them; thinking they might not fit their body or their style.

Well, I have great news if you are in the latter category! In my opinion, these jeans look great on all body types!

So if you love jeans, let me help you find some flare leg jeans that you love!

Jeans for women over 50

My favorite flares *hands down* are the Spanx Flare jeans.  This is a classic blue wash in the Midnight Shade and I’m wearing a size medium.

**Spanx has generously offered a code for my readers CAMMIXSPANX which can be used on any order to get 10% off!!

jeans  |  turtleneck  |  rain jacket  |  necklace  |  boots-similar

Here’s why I love them.

• First, they are the perfect vintage jean. They suck you in at the waist, fit nicely through the thighs, and then have the most perfect flare around the calves and ankles.
• Second, they come in tall sizes and petite sizes.
• Third, they are QUALITY!!! These are not chintzy, cheaply-made jeans.  You will keep them and wear them for many years.
• Fourth, they have free shipping and free returns so if you aren’t happy with the sizing or fit of the denim, you can return them and get a pair that fits – super easy!

A note about sizing

Like I said earlier, these will hold you in. They are made to help you look fabulous!!

That being said, you may have to do a little shimmy to get them on.

THIS IS NORMAL!

But once they are on, you will love how they look.

Also, they do run long in the length.  I am just under 5’7″ tall and I’m wearing the medium in the regular length. Sometimes my tall friend says that she doesn’t even buy the tall! So be sure to check your size from the inside crotch seam of your pants and compare it to the size chart on the website.

The Perfect Pant Flare

This pair of flares below is perfect for work or whenever you need a great looking pair of black pants.

It has a pull on design just like the denim above has and the fit is soo good. I am wearing a medium in these also.

pants  |  sandals  |  turtleneck  |  jacket  |  similar bag

These are a full-length pant and are made to wear 3-4″ heels with. They have good stretch and nice seam detail that runs down the front of the legs.

Check out the detail HERE.

pants  |  boots  |  cream sweater  |  vest – similar

I love them!!

They make your legs look so long!

pants  |  sweater  |  blazer jacket   |  shoes

The Baby Flare

If those are a little much for you, how about giving the High Rise Everyday Soft Denim Flare jeans a try? These don’t flare quite as much as the flare jeans from Spanx but you still get the elongated look.

jeans  |  black top  |  boots – similar

They are a little bit similar to bootcut jeans but are still more of a flare than a boot cut.

By the way, this black top has the prettiest sleeves and cuffs around the wrists!! Definitley don’t pass up the chance to grab that!!

jeans  |  black top  |  rain jacket  |  boots – similar  |  readers  |  earrings 

Which is your favorite?

I hope this little series of “jeans for women over 50” will help you in finding jeans that you love!

Both of these that I’ve shared are void of distressing which gives them a classy, elevated look that can be worn to work, church, or even on date nights.

Also, do you wear skinny jeans?

In my opinion, the skinny jean trend is a trend that will be here forever. My favorite pair at the moment are these Laurie Felt Slim Leg jeans. The rise is slightly below the waist and has a great straight leg that fits slim to the leg.

Ok…enough for now!!!

Thank you so much for being here, I appreciate you stopping by my blog!!

Speaking of flare jeans… you need the Kick Crop Flare for summer!

Don’t know what to wear with wide leg jeans? Here’s what!

Get ready for the best Valentines Day with your family!!

In this post, I am sharing some great jeans for women over 50 that are both comfortable and cute! The Raw Hem Kick Crop jeans from Loft are some of my all-time favorites!!!  Not only are they flattering but they feel comfortable enough to leave on all day! I have consistently reached for these over and over again since buying them last summer. The good news? They are available again this year but in different washes!!!

Jeans for women over 50

I believe that not only are these jeans great for older women, but they are fabulous on young ladies as well! They cover the entire spectrum.

They are just

GOOD.

JEANS.

Here are a few ways to wear these jeans.

sweater  |  jeans  |  slippers

The Kick Crop Jean

Kick crop jeans should fit snug through the hips and thighs and then have a slight flare above the ankle.

shirt  |  jeans  |  sandals

I love the raw hem at the bottom. It gives these jeans a rough, edgy vibe

similar top  |  jeans  |  necklace  |  similar sandals

I’ve worn these several ways as you can see.

I prefer them even on vacations.

But the ways that look the best are either with fitted shirts, shirts that tie at the waist, and in my opinion, nothing oversized.

top  |  belt  |  jeans  |  sandals

I love these jeans with a cute pair of nude heels like these that I wore on set at Good Things Utah for a fashion segment.

similar t-shirt  |  jeans  |  blazer  |  heels  

Get yourself a pair of these kick crop jeans

Good news!

Mine are just about sold out completely, but Loft has several new pair in different washes and colors available in the same cut!

These will be so good to have all summer long.

You’ll wear them often.

AND they are on sale RIGHT NOW!

Do you give gifts on Valentine’s Day to your significant other? Have you decided on anything yet? Let me help you! I’ve been on the hunt for personalized Valentine’s Gifts for him and found some great ones! Because a little surprise is nice… but a little surprise that is personalized??? That is even better!

It shows that you took a little extra thought and time to really make this gift a great one, a little more meaningful!

Plus, everyone loves to see or hear their name. Right? At least that’s what psychologists say.

Personalized Valentine’s Gifts for Him

From left to right

• Personalized HoodedBath Robe– I love this idea and my Rick would love his own personal bathrobe.
• I Wrote A Book About You – This is a book that you fill in the blanks about the person with stories, personal traits, funny memories… such a good gift!
• Custom Engraved Ring – You can pick the font and customize it inside or out with your message or even just his name.
• Acrylic Voice or Song Recording – So cool!! Imagine having your wedding song or a personal voice message that he can listen to anytime with a quick scan of a QR code!! Plus, it’s beautiful!
• Another one – I just added another one so that you could see that you can pick any color you want!
• Meaningful Printed Message – This one actually features “OUR song!” When Rick and I got married, Everything I Do by Bryan Adams was OUR SONG!!!!! How pretty to have it customized into a beautiful print with your names on it!
• Custom Night Light – This little gem has thousands of 5-star reviews and would be thoughtful and useful at the same time!
• Decision Coin – I thought this would be fun for a date night… whoever’s side it lands on gets to pick where to eat or what to do!
• Star Map – Do you want to know how the stars were aligned on your wedding day? Or the day you were born? Have the universe on your special day framed!!! Pretty and it’s on sale right now!!!
• Custom Bobblehead – That’s right, a custom bobblehead!!! Make him smile with his own dashboard ornament!
• Soundwave Art – This is much like the acrylic blocks above but in art form. I think it’s very pretty and would have the option to scan the QR code and leave a personal message. I think the look of the sound waves is modern and aesthetically pleasing.
• Anniversary Date Sweatshirt – Get one for you AND for him! Your special date printed in roman numerals looks really awesome! Who wouldn’t love a new sweatshirt like this??

**IMPORTANT SIDE NOTE!!! 

Remember that anything that is customized will take a little extra time, so don’t wait until the week before Valentine’s Day to order these!!! Do it early so you’re not kicking yourself later.

Aren’t those ideas fun?

I’m getting excited for Valentine’s Day and making my little heart path! Why does something so simple make such a big impact??

And have you ever made a Valentine’s Day Charcuterie board?  If not, consider doing it this year! It’s a sweet surprise for your family.

Today I am sharing some awesome kitchen organizers and read to the end for my kitchen deep cleaning checklist! Going through your home one room at a time and decluttering is such a great thing to do this time of year! It’s so much easier to clean when you have less stuff… I have found that to be true.  Your home feels cleaner and far more peaceful. I am currently in my kitchen and taking you along!

Declutter your kitchen

First, before we talk about cleaning or adding anything else to the mess, go through each and every cupboard and drawer ONE AT A TIME.

Open it up.

Pull everything out.

Wipe down the inside and the outside. Dry thoroughly.

Then, as you put things back, only put back what you need. For the rest, either give it away, throw it away, or put it somewhere else… where it actually belongs.

Some say to start with the easiest job and work your way to the most challenging job.

I like to start at one end of the house and go to the other.

Either way works.

You need to decide which suits you best.

Amazon home items

To help make those newly decluttered drawers and cupboards function even better, consider purchasing the following items if you don’t have them already.

I own and love all of these except for the produce containers and the ziplock bag organizer, because I don’t have them yet.

Yet, being the key phrase there.

1. Silverware tray – My daughter suggested I get this and I’m so glad she talked me into it! It’s such a pretty upgrade!
2. Lid Organizer – This has made my life so much more pleasant! Same kitchen drawer… waaaay more organized!!
3. Adjustable drawer separators – For that drawer with all the extra utensils. Just separating them makes such a difference!
4. Kitchen sink caddy – I love this more than I thought I would! It attaches inside your sink making everything accessible and neat.
5. Non-skid Lazy Susan – I love how this has changed my spice cupboard! I use this for larger containers; rubs, baking soda, baking powder, seasoned salt, etc.  For the smaller spices, I have the multi-level organizer that is next.
6. 3 Tier Cabinet organizer – I love this! No more hunting for spices! I have mine organized in alphabetical order from top to bottom. It’s a lifesaver!
7. Ziplock bag organizer – Just purchased!! I am so excited to get rid of my beat-up boxes! Plus, I love the look of the pretty acrylic.
8. Stackable produce containers – I am really excited for these to keep my baby romaine fresh. They stay fresh anyway but these just look so much more pleasing, don’t they?
9. Stackable water bottle holders – Mine were always stacked on each other!!! Creating a disaster if anyone grabbed one from underneath the pile.  This has saved my sanity.
10. Wall mount broom holder – I store my broom, mop, and swiffer neatly on the inside of my pantry door.  It’s tucked away neatly, but can be reached quickly and easily.

Kitchen Deep Cleaning Checklist

Here is a list of cleaning tasks to make your kitchen sparkle!

You’ll feel so good when you have completed this list!

If you don’t have a lot of time at once, consider doing one job a day until they are all checked off.

(I suggest saving this to your Pinterest board to locate it easily.)

Happy January cleaning and organizing!

I don’t know about you, but cleaning is addicting to me!

I hope this post has inspired you to tackle your kitchen, too!

The post 10 Awesome Kitchen Organizers & A Deep Cleaning Checklist… appeared first on MY HAPPY PLACE.

Happy New Year! It’s time to make some changes and the best way to do that is to make some goals! I love goal setting so I thought I would start a New Nonth New Goals post!  My focus this time of year is on goals, not resolutions.

New Month New Goals

First, in order to set successful goals, we need to evaluate our priorities.

This year, I am going back to basics. I want to focus on everything that promotes success and happiness. Things that help me be a better person/wife/mother and in all other areas of my life.

My feeling is that if I master the basics,  I can excel in every area of my life that I give my attention.

What are the basics?

• To drink 70 ounces of water each day or at least half your body weight in ounces.
• Master my mornings.
• Spend time in the scriptures each day.
• Physical exercise.
• Mental exercise – read/listen to motivational material.
• Make wise food choices, limiting sugar intake.
• Make sleep a priority.

What is my plan to accomplish this?

Here’s the plan. And maybe you want to do this with me! I’ll go through them one by one.

Drinking water

It’s always easier to drink plenty of water if you have a large mug or tumbler that you can take with you wherever you go. My favorite is the Stanley 40 oz Tumbler which I finally broke down and bought after hearing so much about it.

Is it worth the hype? YES!!! My water doesn’t get stale like in plastic water bottles and it stays colder and fresher for much longer than in glass water bottles.

Master my mornings.

This means focusing on what *I* want to do in my life.  This means not jumping on emails or social media in the morning, but putting my energy towards ME; my fitness, my goals, my mindset.

Spend time in the scriptures daily.

Just like our bodies need water every day, our need for Living Water is just as real! Christ is our fountain of living water. Feasting on the words of Christ provides spiritual direction and protection in this mortal life.

Physical exercise.

Lately, I’ve been loving pilates with Move With Nicole. Additionally, I love to walk Toby but I don’t consider that exercise. However, I love getting the fresh air and it’s good for my mental health.

Mental exercise – read/listen to motivational material.

Have you read The Compound Effect? It’s one of my favorites! Right now I’m listening to Napolean Hill’s Thing & Grow Rich based on the recommendation of a friend.

Make wise food choices, limiting sugar.

I’m excited about this one because I have started the Get Fit With Trim Fit Challenge!! I shared all about it and the savings you can get this month in THIS POST. So far I am loving it and I’m just two days in!

Make sleep a priority.

Ok, if you have teenagers like I do, this one might be hard for you! Despite that, I am setting boundaries with them so that I can get to bed by 10:00 or 10:30 at the latest so I can feel my best for the start of each new day.

That’s it for New Month New Goals!

Please tell me the goal you are most excited about!

Thank you so much for being here, I appreciate you stopping by my blog!!

This is the first time I’ve ever done a year in review! I mean, in the past I’ve thought about my year, but I’ve never really documented it. Today I thought it would be fun and insightful to look back over the year 2022 before moving on to 2023.

Year in review 2022

January

My most popular post in January was 3 Winter Boots Every Woman Over 50 Needs. These white boots were my go-to fashion boots of the season and I wore them probably every single day last winter! Seriously, whenever I walked out of the house. Click HERE to read the post and to see the other boots mentioned.  I love them too, but for different reasons.

February

My Amazon Favorites & Fails made the top-loved post in February.  THIS GRAY SWEATER with a white heart became one of my top sellers ever, especially around Valentine’s Day!! I get that… many people prefer a neutral color over wearing pink and red for that holiday. It looks like IT’S BACK IN STOCK if you’d like to grab one for Valentine’s Day this time around!

I took two trips in February; one to Chicago with my husband to see our Kash graduate from boot camp and the other to New Orleans with the girls of Chit Chat Chic!

More about our girls’ trip to New Orleans HERE.

MARCH

My top blog post for March was 11 Spring Wardrobe Essentials.  These pieces started out the warmer season perfectly and I wore many of them into Fall and Winter.

THIS DRESS is one of my all-time favorites. I still love everything about it, the sleeves, the length, the neutral print. The belt does not come with it, I just added it from my closet.

APRIL

The most loved post in April was 13 Best Swim Coverups for 2022.

AND…. another highlight was that it was my first time being on LIVE TELEVISION!!!! Thanks to my dear friend D’Arcy of the blog Dear D’Arcy inviting me to be her model for her fashion segment. What an experience meeting the crew of Good Things Utah!

MAY

The most popular post in May was Spring Sandals With Good Arch Support. I had a running collab with Vionic Shoes that turned me into a comfy-shoes snob!

June

The top post in June was 3 Summer Staples To Add To Your Wardrobe.  Each one is a classic, timeless piece that could be worn in so many ways.

The highlight of the month was that we got to take a trip out to California to see our boy and love on him and his broken heel.

July

July was a DOOZY, Y’ALL!  Before we get to that, let’s get to the top post for July, What To Wear With Camo.  It ended up being the top post for the next 3 months!!!

We went back to California to see Kash again, this time taking the kids.

Then just days after we got home and right after Rick’s birthday, the unthinkable happened.

I was awakened in the wee hours of the morning to a big thud only to find Rick on the floor and trying to get up. He had a stroke which has forever changed his life.

I couldn’t understand him.  He couldn’t raise his left arm. He was like a child. I had to help him get dressed.

Thankfully, aside from a small portion of permanent brain damage, he is doing very well! He was back to work a week later and can function like normal.  His left side is still completely numb as of today, Dec 2022. He is able to use his arms and legs fine, but he just can’t feel anything.

The worst part is that it has affected his taste, most likely because half of his face and mouth are numb. Things that once were delicious to him like Dr. Pepper, hamburgers, and spaghetti, now taste terrible. Things that taste good to him now are Brussel sprouts, asparagus, and salad!  That’s quite a change!!!!!

I shared THIS POST on Instagram while sitting in the hospital and it became one of the most popular of the year. It’s a video, click HERE to watch it.

I feel very blessed to still have a functioning Ricky Love by my side in life.

August

August was a quiet month. As stated earlier, the top post was What to Wear With Camo Pants again and we were just getting used to a new life post-stroke.

However, we did have MANY LAUGHS over Kade’s senior picture!!!!! And still laughing.

That’s one for the books!!!!!!

September

Again, the camo pants post was still in first place on the blog; I think it really resonated with people!!!

Additionally, we took another trip.

One of the side effects of the stroke was that things seemed overwhelming to Rick. Things that were relatively easy for him to do, at work and also in his church calling as 1st counselor in the Bishopric, all of the sudden gave him so much stress and anxiety.

So we packed up the e-bikes and stole away to Yellowstone for a much needed getaway.

October

The most popular post in October was the first of a series, 7 Days of Teacher Outfits.

Aaaaand…. we took another trip! LOL.

This time it was for our anniversary, although according to Rick we don’t need a reason to take a trip… ANYTIME is time for a trip!

We loaded up the e-bikes again and this time went to Park City. It was the PERFECT time of year to be there, the perfect weather, everything was perfect!!!

November

The most popular post was – How To Wear Leather Leggings – Street Style. These leggings are really a must-have. I have had them for almost 5 years now and love them as much as I did when I first bought them.   

And guess what… ANOTHER TRIP!!!

This time back to California with the family to spend Thanksgiving with Kash since he wasn’t allowed to leave.

That brings us to December!

The most popular post was definitely our Merry Christmas post and the family video we created.

Oh boy… is that a treasure!!!

Finally,

Thank you so much for being here!! I really hope that you stick around so we can navigate 2023 together!

I am also hoping that this year brings so much peace, joy, and prosperity into your life!

Love you,

The post Year In Review 2022… appeared first on MY HAPPY PLACE.

This week between Christmas and the New Year is my FAVORITE when it comes to planning!!! I love the fresh start and making new goals and writing down ideas for how I want my year to go. I will use the same yearly calendar for 2023 as I have used the past few years because it’s the best, in my opinion.

Introducing the Day Planner by Tidbits & Company

I’ve always been a big planner and I need to have things written down. Digital calendars, like on a laptop or phone are not my thing.

I thrive with an actual planner on paper!!

Let me tell you why I love it.

Cami, the CEO of the company is a friend of mine. But that’s not why I purchased this planner.

She is also a successful blogger and entrepreneur.

So… she is busy. Not to mention, she runs a family with small children still at home.

And whether she’ll say so or not, in my opinion, she has mastered the art of being organized.

Click HERE for a virtual walk-through of the planner and then click HERE to purchase one for yourself. Don’t forget to use my code CAMMI30 for an extra 30% off!

Speaking of the New Year…

I have decided to be uber-consistent with my collagen-taking this year. Just in the past 3 months, I’ve noticed my hair getting thinner and YOU KNOW I need some big hair! LOL!!

Yu Collagen is what I have been using and loving.  It comes in a powder form and I add it to my STANLEY MUG and sip on it all day. The delicious orange flavor is very pleasant and I really like it.  I do have a code for you that you can use on a single-use or subscription. The code is CAMMI at checkout for 15% off.  If you love it, I would highly recommend signing up for a subscription. That way, you get the best savings and you won’t run out.

AAAAND… I have decided to try a sister product Trim Fit! Have you heard of it?

It burns calories, controls your craving, and improves your mood and energy level. Sounds good to me!!! Again, code CAMMI gives you 15% off!

It’s ON SALE this month for 20% off and you can stack my code for an additional 15%!  PLUS!! If you decide to go with a subscription (and have it come automatically to your home each month) you save an additional 10%!!! That’s 45% off and you can cancel your subscription at any time.

Wanna join the Get Fit Challenge with me?

Click HERE to order yours, be sure to use code CAMMI at checkout, and take your “before” photo.

Start using it daily, up your water intake, and watch your food portions, adding a good protein with each meal or snack.

They will be giving away free products and prizes if you tag @beautifulyu.official on your social channels.

Here’s to a new and fresh start, my friends!!

Let me know if you are going to join me in getting my yearly calendar for 2023 and trying the collagen and Trim Fit!

Bring on 2023!!!

The post Yearly Calendar for 2023… appeared first on MY HAPPY PLACE.

It’s been a very Merry Christmas here at the Allen home!  With the kids getting older, we don’t always get to be together under one roof anymore, but this year WE WERE!!! It was perfect! And we made another fun family memory together.

This year’s family Christmas video

Every year right before Christmas we go to my folks’ house for a party and each family must bring a thought, talent, or Christmas idea to share. Since we have a professional videographer in the family, we choose a VIDEO for our share! It’s always so fun and the whole family gets involved.

This year all the kids came over and we spent an entire day creating this little gem!

The kids came up with the idea and the kids made it happen. At one point during the day, I sat and watched while they were all together making plans, preparing each other for their specific role, and laughing… there was so much laughter! I loved watching them have such a great time, truly filled my soul. Life is precious and not one moment can be taken for granted.  These people of mine are my whole world!

So please enjoy our Christmas video that we had a great time making and know that we are wishing you Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much for being here and for sharing life with us! I am beyond thankful for each and every one of you!

From our home to yours, Merry Christmas from the Allen family!

More gift ideas for teen/young adult girl

These are straight off her list!

• Any and all colorful Converse high tops – She made it clear, they MUST NOT have the lugged sole like THESE. 
• Thread Wallet – these carry their money and driver’s license in one place and apparently high school kids love these! They come in a ton of fun colors too.  She wanted simple black this year. Make sure you get a lanyard to go with it.

With so many people decorating for Christmas earlier than ever, sometimes it’s hard for the later decorators to find what they’re looking for! Luckily, I just scoured the Target holiday section and found some great Christmas home decor that is still available.

Christmas home decor

My style is more of a simple, neutral palette.  I’m not too fond of a very cluttered look.  All of these pieces I would incorporate into my home.

Let’s talk about how to style them.

• Glass, metallic, bottle brush, or wooden trees. These are always a pretty addition to a fireplace mantel. Place them in groups of three with different textures for the best look.  The ones in the graphic are HERE, HERE, and HERE.

• • • Faux fur blanket.

      This is a must for Christmas and, well… all winter long!  Leave it on the chair or couch so anyone can grab it if they are needing to warm up or get cozy.

    • Wreath.

      This eucalyptus wreath is a little different from the traditional pine wreath but I LOVE eucalyptus in wintertime! Hang it on the wall above an entryway table or a window or door.

    • Candles. 

      I love the ambiance that candles give to a room, especially during the holidays! Taller candles HERE, shorter candles HERE. I think it’s a good idea to have these types of candles on hand in the case of a power outage. If you prefer flameless candles, THESE are a great option and mimic a real flame but without the hazard! Put them in glass containers by themselves or on a bed of glass beads or pinto beans.  It’s such a pretty look! OR place them in a group of three on a platter with faux pine and berries around it. A wreath works well too.

    • Glass Containers.

      These are so pretty with lit candles inside them. Or, fill them with pinecones, Christmas candies, or 1/3 the way full with pinto beans, and then set a candle on top of that. The large container is HERE and the shorter one is HERE. You can usually pick them up from the dollar or thrift store for pennies.

  • • Flocked Christmas tree.

      White flocking is so pretty! This one has tons of great reviews and is still available!

    • French country mirror. 

      This has taken the internet by storm!!! It is the IT mirror right now and will be a treasure for years to come! Set it on a mantel with trees, deer, and candles, etc around it. So pretty!

    • Christmas sign

      .  This one is cute and quite small which would be perfect for a mantel.  If you want something bigger, THIS ONE is on my entryway table and we LOVE IT! It gets compliments all the time from visitors.

    • Pine garland. 

      Boy, you can sure spend a lot when it comes to garland!  I think this one is the sweet spot between quality and price.

    • Wooden bead garland.

      These are so pretty hanging on the tree or draped and hanging from a garland, giving a touch of earthiness and texture. Pro tip: for an extra voluminous garland, layer two of the same kind or different kinds together!

    • Lit star garland. 

      This would be pretty hanging with a garland along your stairway, adding a touch of light and sparkle.

    • Chair for seating

      A couple of these chairs would be so pretty flanking the fireplace, with the faux fur blanket above hanging off the arm.

    • Buy a fireplace!!

      Get a fireplace without all the demolition that would take place if you installed one. Easy peasy! And you could put it anywhere you wish.

    • Stockings

      I love these simple white stockings. I’ve included THEIR HANGERS too which are made of metal and marble.  So pretty!

Furthermore, don’t wait!

Time is ticking and stores don’t want excess Christmas decor hanging around after the holidays.  Likewise, they would rather sell out than have to sell their items at 50% off.  So if you like something, grab it while it’s still in stock.

Merry Christmas!

Have fun with all the holiday festivities!!

The post Target Christmas Home Decor That Is Still Available… appeared first on MY HAPPY PLACE.

I was pleased with how I packed for our trip to San Diego over Thanksgiving last week. So I thought I would share my capsule wardrobe checklist that took us through an 8-day trip to southern California nicely. Even if these pieces aren’t current when you read this, they might give you some ideas to pull from your closet to pack in your suitcase.

My capsule wardrobe for San Diego

Our trip took place over Thanksgiving week so we packed some wardrobe essentials to put together outfit ideas that I would need for this time of year. It’s definitely a seasonal capsule. Had it been summer, I would have packed totally differently. The highs during the day would be 65-75° but the lows would get down into the 50’s making it pretty chilly with the breeze coming off the ocean.

I kept top of mind that we would be doing a lot of walking and the main goal was comfort. I knew that I wanted to reflect my personal style with wardrobe staples that are mostly neutral colors. That way they could all work together. So with that as a starting point, I put together the items in my capsule wardrobe checklist.

The checklist.

Tops

• A basic white t-shirt.  These are my favorite from Old Navy that I have worn to death all summer. I would recommend that you size up one size.
• A basic black t-shirt. The same shirt as the white one, only in black. You will wear these a million ways—an absolute staple.
• T-shirt or tank for working out.  I like to wear t-shirts and this one is a good basic.
• White button down.  You can use this as a top or wear it open over a tee. Or even as a swimsuit coverup.
• Optional: Extra floral top. We were going to be gone long enough that I threw in THIS TOP for an extra outfit with a pair of straight leg jeans.

Bottoms

• White jeans or pants. The pants that I took with me are no longer available. But these Spanx pants would be my second choice and they have a silver lining so there’s NO WORRY about being see through!
• Black split hem pants.  These pants from Target were my go-to! They are so comfy and look great with heels and sneakers alike!
• Joggers.  I love my new Spanx joggers! They were just fine for hiking in San Diego. I would also highly recommend THESE. They are lighter weight. I sized down on them.
• Workout leggings. These are a must! You can wear them on your travel days and/or for working out.

Jackets

I opted for lighter weight jackets and shirt jackets that I could tie around my waist during the day but have as an extra layer when the temperatures dipped at night.

• Blazer.  For a little nicer look while eating dinner out or evening entertainment. THIS is also a good basic blazer.
• Rock n Roll shacket. I love this! It’s a little edgy and cool.
• Plaid shacket. This is a great neutral plaid that would go with any of the pant and shirt options.
• Denim jacket. Denim is a neutral and again, would go with anything. I particularly like it with the lighter colored options.
• Lightweight black open front sweater. I wore this unzipped and over my black dress just to keep my arms warm.
• Vest. My love for this oversized vest runs DEEP!!! I wore it over my swimsuit and plaid shacket to and from the condo’s hot tub to keep warm. It was quite chilly in the evenings! More about this puffer vest HERE. It’s just about sold out, so HERE is another great one.

Shoes

• Plain white sneakers.  Comfy for traveling and to keep those toes warm.
• Sport sandals.  For days at the beach or walking to the hot tub.  I wore them to go hiking in.
• New Balance sneaker.  These could easily be the only sneakers you need. I wore these almost every single day and with every pair of pants. They are great for when you will be on your feet all day… like we were at the San Diego Zoo.
• Open toed mules.  I wore these with the blazer and the split hem pants for a little dressier look when going to dinner.

Other clothing items

• Swimsuit.  This is my tried and true. Black and comfy.
• 2 Piece sweater set.  Wear it as a set or split the pieces up and wear them separately for more outfits!
• Plain black dress.  I actually wore this with the open front black sweater to travel in because it was Sunday. (I like wearing dresses on Sunday) Mine is old but there are some good ones HERE and HERE.

Accessories

• Sunglasses.  These are a classic shape and inexpensive. They don’t have the hardware that will get caught in your hair if you wear them on your head.
• Jewelry. I wore these same earrings the entire trip along with my two favorite necklaces.  See the necklaces HERE and HERE. 
• Crossbody bag. Love this neutral color with the chain.
• Backpack.  I took this everywhere! It’s so convenient to carry snacks, sunscreen, lip balm, or whatever! And the vegan leather is so soft and high end looking! Great price, too!!
• Hats. You probably only need one. I wore my black one most days to protect my face from the sun.  But while I was there I bought this very neutral blush colored corduroy hat on Black Friday and LOVE IT!!!

How I wore these pieces.

There are probably a million outfit options when you consider the many different ways you could pair these pieces.

Here are a few ways that I wore them.

I can’t find this shacket available anywhere online, that’s why I linked the one above.

That’s my capsule wardrobe checklist!

The post Capsule Wardrobe Checklist – San Diego Trip… appeared first on MY HAPPY PLACE.

I’ve been on the hunt for a brown puffer coat this Fall. For the past several years, I’ve had a black puffer that I have worn the HECK out of and loved it. But I’m ready for something new and I’m totally down for the brown!  In my searching, I’ve been looking for 3 things: great quality, reasonably priced, and maybe most important of all… CUTE!!!

Which brown puffer jacket would YOU choose?

I’ve narrowed my search down to these two.

I like them both.

I like the color and I like the longer length.

They both happen to be from Walmart, which is awesome!  And let me just say that Walmart has really been killing it in the fashion arena lately!

The BCBG long brown puffer coat

I instantly loved this coat the minute I put it on.  The BCBG Paris Women’s Puffer Coat has a nice hood with snap closure to keep your face nice and warm. It also has dual front pockets that you can access from the top of the pocket and then from the side of the pocket.

You can’t see but in the back is a toggle to cinch the waist for a more feminine look.

Love the length, good and long, and it is equipped with side buttons that you can open or close to make it easier to sit and/or walk.

The Reebok Coat

The second jacket is this awesome brown padded coat from Reebok. This Maxi Puffer Coat got me all excited the minute I put it on.

When I put my arms through the sleeves, my hands slid out perfectly into a storm cuff made of Lycra! It fits my hands perfectly and will keep it so that snow won’t go into my arm sleeve when wearing gloves! I love this feature!!

This brown Reebok coat has side zippers down below where the other one had snaps. I also felt like this one had a little more substance to it.

It felt warmer. A little heavier.

I know that cropped jackets like the ever-popular North Face brown puffer jacket are a little trendy right now.

But the crop style isn’t great for every body shape. AND it’s got a hefty price tag of over $300!! As a 54-year-old who’s had 5 children, cropped pieces don’t flatter my body much.

SO… I decided to keep the Reebok coat. It has a few more features than the BCBG jacket and for under $60 it’s a steal, in my opinion!

I will LOVE walking Toby in my BIG, HUGE puffer coat this winter!

Which is your favorite?
