Sunday with Stacie – Volume 12

June 2, 2024

Hi friends! I hope you had a great week! We’re starting a new month, so I thought today would be a good day to share the things I loved from the month of May. I just think it’s a fun way to showcase the things that made me happy from the month and it may be helpful for you to get to know me better. As always, I’m curious about you too, so leave a comment or send me an email to let me know one (or more) of your favorites from last month too.

  1. I went on my first vacation to the Napa, CA area last month and I absolutely adored it. I did share parts of it here on the blog and on my social media, so you’ve seen it. But it was so beautiful there and made me so happy. Everything was perfect, from the scenery to the temperature to being with my husband to explore the area together. Our next trip is in the works and I will reveal that soon when he confirms it with me.
  2. I read some really good books last month. I’m telling you now, that if you’re over 40, then I highly recommend you read  The New Menopause. I listened to it on audible, which was good. However, I think you really need to have a physical copy of the book to be able to see the doctor’s recommendations and so that you can go back to see them again and again. I’ve also heard great things about her other book The Galveston Diet for women in the menopause phase of life. That one is next for me.
  3. I have had so much fun introducing my grand babies to gardening lately. The girls love the flowers as much as I do. The only problem is that they sometimes think the flowers need to be picked and played with (as I cringe, but smile).
  4. When I find a good product that worked well for me I like to share it. I’ve recently  been using the Megelin Radio Frequency device. It’s a 4-in-1 skincare tool that works great. So far, I can see a bit of improvement in the lower half of my face where I’ve been targeting. I don’t use it on the forehead because I had Dysport (like Botox) there and it says not to use in there if you’ve had a neurotoxin treatment in the last few months. My jowls and vertical lip lines are what bother me most. I feel like the lifting that I’m getting for the lower to midface are helping to decrease the appearance of the lines a little bit. The photo below is from just one treatment. What do you think?

    I think the lines above my lip look less visible after using the Megelin RF device

  5. I’m enjoying the relaxed summer days, even though it’s not quite summer yet. I just feel so much more relaxed when the days are longer and there’s not as much on our schedules.
  6. I’m still working on my style journey and developing a capsule wardrobe for summer. I watched a webinar that gave a suggestion for 10 items to pack for a trip that can be put into a carry-on bag and can create 30 different outfits. I bought a few things and found the rest in my closet. I’m going to try to use this method for my next trip to see if I can do it. Let me know if you want more details.
  7. I bought myself a new iPad Air with the Apple pencil Pro and then I bought a digital planner and some stickers on Etsy and have been having so much fun using this instead of a physical planner like I have done for years. I’ve always been a planner geek, but now I think I’m the ultimate geek, but I am so happy about it. Do you use planners? Have you tried using a digital planner?
  8. I’m loving less makeup on my skin this time of year. Last month my daughter and I went to the new Skin Pharm in Southlake. We had a tour and some lovely treatments. We were treated to some great skincare products as well. One that I chose is their Tinted Sunscreen with SPF 44. It’s all I’ve been using most days.

So there we have it, the top things that made me happy for the month of May. I hope you enjoyed and will share one of your favorite things with me too!

    This sounds like such a fun post! Napa looks amazing in your pictures, and relaxing with your husband sounds like a perfect way to spend a vacation. I love that you’re introducing your granddaughters to gardening – that’s such a wonderful way to connect with them.

    I’m definitely curious about the Megelin device – I’ve been wanting to try a radio frequency tool for a while now. Would love to hear more about your experience after you’ve used it for a longer period!

    I’m also a huge planner geek but haven’t tried digital planning yet. I’d love to hear more details about the webinar you mentioned, especially if it helped you create a capsule wardrobe!

    Thanks for sharing your favorites, and good luck with your summer style journey!

Patience is a virtue… I patiently waited (and s Patience is a virtue…

I patiently waited (and stalked) the website and brick and mortar stores until I finally found these cute (and extremely comfortable) suede sandals in my size. 🎉

They’re the perfect pairing with my new Lysse New York outfit! I’m feeling like I should be going somewhere warm and fun now.

My jewelry is Melinda Maria and you can use code StacieH for 10% off your order.✨

My purse is Spartina 449. Isn’t it divine?!💗

Just say SHOP and I will send you all the outfit details, but you must be following me to receive the message (it’s an IG rule).‼️ 

P.S. I’m 5’1” and mostly wear petites, but this outfit is regular misses sizes. The pants are cropped length on most.💖

Well this pretty dress does that for me!☺️

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!

Just comment SHOP and I’ll send the link to your messages or use the link below to shop the Pack-It Jacket from @coldwatercreek 💖

Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been Looking back, I wish I had traveled more and been more adventurous in my younger years. Despite visiting many distant lands, I often did so reluctantly. However, my mindset has shifted over the past 10 years, and I now yearn to explore more of our world.

We’re currently in Jackson Hole, with upcoming trips planned for Summer and Fall, including another trip to Europe.

River cruising in Europe has been my favorite travel so far. We’ve taken 3 different river cruises and you can see some of those moments in my saved highlights.💖

Are there any cities or countries on your travel bucket list?✈️
