The Book Was Better Book Club: A Simple Favor

January 27, 2021 by Leave a Comment

Last year I started a new book club that would specifically focus on books that have been turned into movies or TV shows. We had a great first run with Little Fires Everywhere. I had every intention of keeping this going, but as you may have noticed in my previous post, I’m having a baby! I wasn’t expecting to be so sick, but it sort of took me out of commission for a while and I had to pause the book club. I am still committed to keeping this going and would LOVE to get this next round in before the baby comes and hopefully start the next round after she’s born as I’m sure I will need things to read and watch as I’m up for all those late-night feedings.

I will most likely rotate between a TV series and a movie and I had previously announced that A Simple Favor would be our first book/movie selection. If you haven’t joined our private Detroit Duchess Book Club Facebook Group, make sure to join so you can get in on the discussion and the final “Live” discussion.

If you haven’t picked up the book yet, you can find A Simple Favor here for $2.04! In addition, you can watch the movie on Hulu and Amazon Prime. I also found the DVD for $3.74 if you don’t have a streaming service.

I hope you will join us for this fun read and I look forward to hearing your ideas for future reads!

We’re Having a Baby!

January 15, 2021 by 6 Comments

It’s funny how things work out sometimes, even with the best laid plans. Last year, as I was ramping up on the blog again, starting my book club, etc. I got pregnant! It was definitely a planned pregnancy (not a quarantine/COVID surprise), but what I couldn’t have prepared for was how sick I would be for the majority of the pregnancy. So my plans of really leaning into my blog got scrapped while I focused on pushing through all my pregnancy nausea. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I definitely wanted to share this exciting news and give an explanation for why I’ve been missing in action.

We are THRILLED to be pregnant and can’t wait to meet our baby girl in April. I’m 28 weeks along and it’s been a wild ride so far; not what I expected at all. I just entered the third trimester and I can say that feeling her kick and move around is wonderful and so reassuring.

There’s a lot to do before she comes including creating a registry, figuring out how to host a shower during the pandemic and cleaning out and decorating a nursery. Not to mention signing up for birthing and education classes. It’s a whole new world!

So all this to say – I am back and posting again and hope to keep you updated along the way. I would also LOVE to hear any of your first-time mom tips and tricks, what must-have registry items I should include, and any other things I should keep in mind as I navigate this journey.

In case you’re looking for any of the photo details, I got the sign from Etsy, Sport’s scarf from Etsy, and the baby shoes from Amazon. My dress is from Nordstrom and my earrings and necklace are from Kendra Scott.

Wine of the Week: Living Coral Sparkling Rose

July 22, 2020 by 2 Comments

I’ve mentioned this year that I want to share more products that give back and no sooner did I say that and I stumbled across Living Coral. This sparkling rose was created to educate wine lovers about the importance of coral reefs and help fund organizations that preserve and restore the coral reefs.

Living Coral is the perfect sparkling rose wine – it has notes of ripe nectarine and peach along with a creamy texture. I’ve found a lot of sparkling rose wines are too sweet and this was not the case. Living Coral was crisp and refreshing and fantastic for brunch or for any special celebration.

For every bottle of Living Coral Sparkling Rose sold, a contribution will be made to an organization that is dedicated to saving the coral reefs.

In the past few months, I’ve started to see this wine in more liquor stores all over Michigan, so I have no doubt you’ll see it at a store near you soon!

Thoughts on 38

July 6, 2020 by 3 Comments

Tomorrow I celebrate my 38th birthday! Finishing out my year with a global pandemic wasn’t really what I had in mind, but it’s helped me to focus on what’s important and where I want to go in my 38th year. Before I get into celebration mode, I wanted to reflect on what it means to me to have 38 years of experience under my belt.

There’s a popular TikTok sound going around about romanticizing your life and it goes “You have to start romanticizing your life. You have to start thinking of yourself as the main character because if you don’t — life will continue to pass you by. And all the little things that make it so beautiful will continue to go unnoticed. So take a second, and look around and realize that it’s a blessing for you to be here right now.” You can read more about the trend here. I really LOVE this trend and thought that I would make it my theme for my 38th year. So here are 38 ways I’m going to “romanticize my life” this year.

1 Treating myself at least once a week

I have a few things that I consider “treats,” just little things that make me feel fancy. This doesn’t have to be expensive, it could be something small. They include getting macarons, going for a pedicure, stopping by Sephora for my PERK facial (if it opens up again), or anything that makes me feel special. I will start sharing these on my Instagram with #TreatYoSelf!

2 Keep putting myself first

After I started the Miracle Morning I saw some amazing changes in my life. I am committed to doing the SAVERS as many days as I can and I can only hope to keep growing!

3 Meet a friend once a month for tea

You all know how much I LOVE my tea time so I thought it would be fun to meet a different friend for tea every month. It could be at one of the amazing tea rooms around town or at my house or on a Zoom call.

4 Celebrate the small (and large) wins

When I first started my business, I would bring home a bottle of champagne for every small win. I’ve stopped doing that along the way and need to get back in the habit of celebrating every small victory. I heard Rachel Hollis mention naming your bottles of champagne for different goals which I love!

5 Plan a monthly brunch date

I LOVE having brunch with the girls and/or John. It makes for such a fun Sunday that I always end up wondering why I don’t do it more.

6 Spend time outdoors everyday

I was listening to Kelly LeVeque’s podcast a while back and she interviewed a cognitive neuroscientist about memory. He shared how important it was to start your day by getting outside and seeing actual sunlight to help boost your Vitamin D production. I could take my morning tea outside or just stand outside when I let Sport out every morning. I also love the idea of connecting with the outdoors on a daily basis.

7 Fresh Flowers

would love to have fresh flowers around the house all the time! Even if I just pick up a bouquet at the grocery store, it’s enough to really brighten up the house. Maybe this is the year that I get a monthly flower delivery like Flowers for Dreams or one of those everlasting flower boxes.

8 Enjoy every second with Skyler

I adore my 2 year-old niece Skyler! She loves to play and get into all sorts of things. I want to remember to always make time to play with her and not get too busy and to get into the sandbox or play in the water with her even if it means I get dirty or ruin my manicure. These are the things I’m going to remember when she’s older.

Getting my feet buried!

9 Schedule regular spa appointments

I LIVE for massages and facials and as soon as I can get back into my favorite places I want to start getting a monthly massage and Hydrafacial. Or at least try to alternate and get one every other month.

10 Read more books

As a child, I was always reading. As soon as I opened a book I couldn’t put it down. That’s why I’m so excited about my “The Book Was Better” Book Club to hold me accountable for reading more this year. If you haven’t joined yet, get to it! We started out with Little Fires Everywhere.

11 Invest in a magazine subscription

When was the last time you spent the day reading through a magazine front to back? I used to get so many magazines in my youth, but sadly I only get them now when I’m at an airport or maybe pick one up in a waiting room. This year, I want to find an awesome magazine that I can take with me to all my appointments and really enjoy. Let me know your recommendations!

12 Celebrate every holiday like crazy!

This year I want to go all out for all the holidays, even the little ones like French Fry day! Sometimes I get lazy and forget to decorate or don’t get as into the fun of each different celebration. This year I want to throw all the parties, wear themed shirts and really enjoy every moment! What are some of your favorite holiday traditions?

13 Monthly Godiva

Did you know that you can get a free Godiva truffle every month as long as you sign up for Godiva’s reward program? Every year I tell myself that I’m going to take advantage of the program and I always forget. This year I’m going to treat myself!

14 Eat at the table

We have a nice dining room table and I own five sets of china (with a sixth set on the way) and most nights, we eat in front of the TV. Even if it’s only once a week, I would love to get the table set and dinner ready to go for my husband and make it a big production. John does most of the cooking so this would be a treat for him!

15 Stock the bar

For a while in quarantine, I was trying to make a new signature drink every week. I tried an Aperol Spritz, a blueberry cucumber Collins, and a Mojito. I would love to have a few things on hand to make these during happy hour or when a friend stops by to visit. I also want to work on my wine collection and collecting wines that age well.

16 Try something new

I’m a creature of habit and tend to stick to a lot of the same foods and routines. This year I want to enhance my experiences by trying new experiences. Maybe this will be taking a class and learning something new like going to the shooting range or it could be trying a new type of food. I am open to ideas!

17 Build a sleep wardrobe

Who else sleeps in leggings and a t-shirt? Or the oldest pajamas you own? This year I want to commit to getting a new set of luxurious pajamas each month (a set that I would not be embarrassed to get the mail in). Did anyone watch Revenge? I always LOVED Victoria Grayson’s sleepwear. She looked fabulously put together 24/7.

18 Date Night

I’ve been 50/50 about planning date nights with John. Sometimes I’ll get in a good grove for a while and other times it might be weeks before I plan something special. This year I want to make sure I have something special planned for us every week, even if it’s a movie date with special snacks and a theme.

19 Set phone/screen limits

I just discovered that you can set up screen time limits on your phone. I sometimes find myself mindlessly scrolling and I loved the idea that my phone can snap me out of it and tell me I’ve had enough for the day. I have SO many other things to do and don’t want to waste all my time reading comments on Facebook

20 Enjoy my house now

We’ve done some great updates to our house during quarantine, but I’m terrible about getting furniture on the walls and updating the decor. I also have dining room chairs that I’ve been dying to recover into something more modern. My goal this year is to start enjoying my house and make small improvements instead of waiting to finish a room in one big sweep.

21 Gratitude

I’ve started a little bit of a gratitude practice with my Start Today Journal. Every day you have to write down five things you’re grateful for. I’m trying to do a better job of really being in the moment and enjoying the wonderful things I have.

22 Take more pictures

I’ve been horrible about taking pictures of myself or me with friends as I get older. On my birthday this year, I had to remember to snap a few with Skyler because I always end up with a bunch of pictures of her, but us together. I don’t want to look back on these years and not be in any of the pictures. At the beginning of every get together I need to snap one with me and whoever I’m with to memorialize the moment.

23 Correspondence

Over the last few years I had started sending close friends birthday cards and special holiday cards in the mail so they would have something fun to open on special occasions. Plus who doesn’t like getting actual mail (that’s not bills or junk)? I’ve let it fall off a bit and REALLY want to get it going again. It was such a fun thing to do.

24 Music/Playlist

I rarely listen to music because I’m obsessed with podcasts but I’ve been thinking that I should add more music to my life. I mostly work at home now and want to start curating a few playlists for myself for work and for when I’m driving with people in my car. For now I’m partial to the French Cooking Music Radio on Pandora.

25 Have more fun

Most of the time I tend to stay at home and do work just because it’s there. If it’s not work for my business then it’s blog work or some other chore that needs to be done. I want to be more mindful of taking time out for fun activities instead of only working or spending my free time scrolling social media. This could be playing a board game at home, reading a book, or planning happy hour for my husband.

26 Channel Creativity

Creativity breeds creativity. To come up with more creative ideas for work I need to spend more time being creative during my personal time. I mentioned a few of my passions in this post including practicing the piano, calligraphy, and cake decorating.

27 Romanticize my relationship

Many years ago a friend told me about a website called The Dating Divas. I was trying to come up with some fun date ideas early in our marriage and let me tell you they have TONS of great ideas. I’ve seen their emails for years and want to try a few this year.

28 Start a weekend ritual

I love the idea of having something we do (or I do) every weekend. Whether it’s strolling up to the farmer’s market every Saturday, visiting a patisserie on Sundays, or having a spa day every Sunday night, I want to come up with something great. Let me know if you have ideas on this one!

29 Volunteer

During the first eight weeks of the pandemic, I volunteered at the Michigan Mask Donation Center on behalf of The Glamorous Moms Foundation. I loved being able to help during the crisis and hopefully can do more this year.

30 Friend dates

This year I wanted to make a special effort to see all of my friends on a good rotation throughout the year. Whether that’s over dinner, drinks, or brunch just making a plan seems to ensure these outings happen more regularly.

31 Pump my own tires

As someone in public relations, you think I would have an easier time of pumping myself up, but when it comes to writing bios, updating my career page, and promoting myself I find it difficult. Unfortunately, I don’t have that luxury now that I’m a business owner. This year I want to push past my comfort zone and really start to get out there as a business owner.

32 Shop local

I’ve been wanting to start a new series called Sip n’ Shop where I visit a new neighborhood each weekend for a cocktail and to hunt for amazing items. Supporting local businesses during this time is so important. Stay tuned for that new segment coming soon!

33 Enjoy the local arts and cultural activities

To add to #32, I also want to spend more time enjoying arts and culture at the great places we have around town. I can’t tell you the last time I was at a museum and that definitely needs to change!

34 Do nice things for other people

I always try to do this, but I want to be more intentional this year. Throwing in some random acts of kindness and also doing things like sending cards to friends, dropping off a casserole during a time of need, or offering help to a new mom. Let me know if you have any ideas!

35 Take time out for meals

I don’t know about you, but most of the time I find myself eating in the car or in front of the TV. I would love to have breakfast al fresco in my backyard or take an actual break for lunch instead of trying to do five things at once.

36 Travel

This will be a different year for travel, but just because we probably won’t be leaving the country doesn’t mean I can’t travel throughout Michigan and still explore our great country! There are so many places I haven’t been yet!

37 Get organized

Your space can reflect your mood! If you have clutter in your house or your favorite spaces it can make you feel stress. I have seen so many organizer TikToks lately and it is motivating me to get my spaces organized and create a fun ambiance so I can enjoy them.

38 Invest in a special scent

I have SO many perfume samples, but I don’t have one special scent that’s my go-to. I would love to invest in a fun one that I wear on special occasions or when I’m having a big day. Maybe even different scents for different occasions as I build up my collection.

What are some ways that you’ve romanticized your life?

Summer 2020 Favorites

June 25, 2020 by Leave a Comment

What was shaping up to be an epic summer of concerts and parties was ruined by the COVID-19 pandemic. BUT that doesn’t mean we still can’t have fun and find creative ways to get back to basics and really soak up the summer. I’m looking to enjoy the small things, like an outdoor gathering with friends or walking up to the Dairy Queen for ice cream – maybe even a Drive-In movie! Here are a few things getting me into the summer spirit!

Palm Print Sarong ($40)

I am in love with this sarong! It’s only one size fits all so I’m hoping it works for me because it’s the cutest!

OPI V-I-Pink Passes ($10.50)

I love a hot pink polish in the summer. I think all my favorite summer pinks have been a pink variation.

Photo: OPI

Buttercup Drop Earrings ($48)

I love the colors on these earrings and they would look so cute with all my black and white summer dresses!

Lemon One Shoulder Top ($29.99)

I’ve been obsessed with lemons since our honeymoon in 2011 and I have to have this top! It is darling! They also have a cami and a flutter version too!

Coach Integration Flower Sunglasses ($87.50)

These sunglasses are so whimsical with the cute flower detail. I love a big frame too!

Polka Dot Off-The-Shoulder-Top – Sweet Pea ($38.46)

Add this cute top to the list of things TikTok made me buy. I never would have thought of this for myself but it looks really cute with white jeans.

Pineapple Pattern Toe Ring Frill Hem Casual Sandals ($29.99)

This adorable sandals came to me in a Facebook ad. I love pineapples!

Coconut Cabana Candle ($24.50)

Half of the candles I’ve picked for the summer favorites list have had some sort of coconut in them. I love the smell. This one adds some vanilla sandalwood and pineapple to the mix.

Acetate Chain Bracelet ($39.50)

I love the pop of hot pink on this bracelet. These types of bracelets are fun to wear at the beach or on a boat.

Skinny Can Coolers ($27)

Who else has been consuming lots of White Claw during quarantine? It’s made me want one of these coolers. My friend Melissa got these cute ones in at her store Posh and I’ve been eyeing them. The best part is that they are dishwasher safe unlike some of the other brands out there.

Kristin Ess Rose Gold Temporary Tint ($12)

This is THE BEST for summer! It’s a temporary tint you spray on your hair and it only lasts a day or two. It’s super fun for the weekend or brunch with the girls.

Pineapple Paradise Tiki Torch ($8.99)

I snagged two of these cuties at Target for the backyard. Keep the bugs away AND look stylish! Remember that the torch fuel is sold separately.

Scott Barnes Body Bling ($42)

If you didn’t know, Scott Barnes is the makeup artist (MUA) that works on JLO. If you want to snag her glow for yourself, you want to pickup up Scott’s Body Bling lotion. Apparently this is a great red carpet secret that I am going to take full advantage of this summer.

Let me know what things you are loving this season in the comments!

The Book Was Better Book Club: Little Fires Everywhere

June 15, 2020 by Leave a Comment

I’ve always LOVED to read. As a child, I would refuse to go to sleep until my parents read to me, no matter how late it was. In elementary school, I would read while walking down the hall. During recess, I would sit on the bench and read instead of running around getting chased by boys. The recess monitor told my mom that I should be playing instead of reading and my mom told her where to stick it. HA! I figured it was time to bring my love of books to the blog and start a Detroit Duchess Book Club!

As I talk about TV and pop culture, I thought I would specifically focus on books that have a TV or movie tie-in. I don’t know about you, but I am obsessed with reading the book first before I watch the show or movie. We will officially call the group: Detroit Duchess: The Book was Better.

Here’s how it will work. I will kick things off by selecting my Book Club pick and announce it on the blog. I will give you a week to pick it up/order it/rent it from the library/download it and then we will start reading. I’ve created a private Detroit Duchess Book Club Facebook Group so we can discuss the current book as we read through it. So click the link to join and follow along!

Right before our official Book Club meeting, I will encourage all of you to watch the movie and/or series. Some of these will be longer than a month depending on whether it is a movie book or a TV series book. At the end of the month or longer, I will host a Facebook Live discussion where we will share our thoughts about the book/movie/show and you can chime in, ask questions, and give me your feedback.

I’ve been dying to watch the Little Fires Everywhere series on Hulu, but have been holding off until I could read the book. I figured this was the perfect book to start with. I can’t wait to see the fashion that Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington bring to the series. You can order the book here-I’ve found it for $6 on Amazon!

The schedule will run as follows:

Let me know if you’ll be joining The Book is Better Book Club and if you have any recommendations for future selections!

Five on Friday: Summer Dresses

May 29, 2020 by 2 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I’m a big dress person. I rarely wear jeans and never wear shorts in the summer – I prefer a sundress or maxi dress to beat the heat. Now that it’s starting to heat up here in Michigan, I thought I should pull together some cute dress options that have caught my eye.

Floral Linen-Blend Fit & Flare Midi Sundress for Women ($38)

I keep seeing this dress in a Facebook ad and I love it! I love the cut and the print! I love that it’s a little bit longer too!

Strappy Ruched Maxi Dress ($139)

I have a black maxi that I got eight years ago from Banana Republic that I just LOVE! When I saw this one I thought it could be my new favorite!

Halter Tie Dress ($24)

I like to find dresses in different colors and cuts than ones I already have (I tend to stick with a few colors and styles). I love the halter cut of this dress and think it would be versatile for vacation or to dress up.

Polka Dot Ruffle Sleeve Flare Dress ($29.99)

This is adorable! It looks black, but it’s really Industrial Navy. It would go so well with a number of shoes and accessories I already have.

Colorblock Maxi Dress ($27.99)

This dress was just fun and different – I love colorblock and this one looked more casual on top and dressier on the bottom.

Let me know which one is your favorite!

May 18, 2020 by 10 Comments

I haven’t celebrated my blogiversary in a while, but it just seemed right this year. Seven is my lucky number and I really wanted to commemorate this accomplishment. I haven’t always been the most consistent, but I’m so proud to have kept this little blog alive for the past seven years. Blogging is one of my favorite things to do! Most of the time, it’s a big shopping list/Pinterest board of all the things I love and aspire to, but I love when readers get fired up over a recommendation or share their tips and tricks.

Blogiversary Giveaway

I’m not going to make a lot of promises this year, BUT I will promise that this space isn’t going away anytime soon.

I had a ton of fun during my Gilmore Girls rewatch this year and my Luke’s Diner Mug is one of my favorite ways to enjoy the show. You can select any color choice and get your own piece of Luke’s Diner.

(June 1 – 8) Body Love EveryDay

I am SO happy to say that because of Kelly LeVeque and her Body Love plan, I’ve lost 20 pounds! She just came out with a new book and I want you to get on this amazing plan too!

(June 8 – 15) Rose Quartz Roller

If you’re stuck at home and stepping up your skincare routine, you definitely need a facial roller! I feel super fancy whenever I use it.

Splurge vs. Steal: Drybar Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush

April 30, 2020 by Leave a Comment

I was first introduced to this month’s Splurge vs. Steal item from my hairdresser. She has the “steal” version and was telling me how great it was and that it was way cheaper then the Drybar version. She used it during our session and it made my hair look SO good! The Drybar Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush retails for $150, while the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer is only $59.99. The Revlon version is also a 2019 Allure Best of Beauty Award Winner.

As you’ve read previously, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to regrow and rebuild my hair. I stopped round brushing my hair a long time ago, which made a big difference and allowed me to grow it back. After reading the reviews for this, I am concerned that using something like this every day could damage my hair all over again. I think it is something I would only use once in a while for special occasions. One of the differences I noticed between the Drybar and Revlon versions was control of the heat settings. It sounds like the Drybar version might not be as hot, which could make it better for someone concerned about breakage.

The other big note I saw in all of the reviews was that you MUST get a heat protectant. This Kenra Platinum Blow-Dry Mist Spray ($14.67) was highly recommended. It sounds like the mist is for thin/fine hair, which I do, but the spray version is better if you have thick/course hair.

Have you tried a blow-dry brush? I would love to hear more about your experience and if it damaged your hair.

Spring 2020 Favorites

March 24, 2020 by 2 Comments

It’s spring in quarantine! Definitely not what I expected for this season, but we’re making the best of it. At least there are some amazing sales going on right now to make the most of your spring shopping. Here are a few of the things I’ve been jamming on lately.

Footlogix Callus Softener ($34.95)

You’re probably going to be doing your next pedicure at home and this callus softener is a miracle product. My salon has been using it on me for almost a year and it works like no other! I won’t be missing a beat when we are able to get outside again.

Pineapple Delicate Necklace ($8.99)

Once I saw this, I couldn’t pass it up. I will wear this a million times before fall!

CND Carnation Bliss ($7)

I’m loving CND’s new English Gardens Collection. Carnation Bliss is a limited edition color, so don’t wait too long to snag it. Thank goodness I have my own UV light so I can keep my manicure up during this time!

Pineapple Colada Candle ($24.50)

I was lucky enough to have stocked up on candles before the quarantine started, so at least I can pretend to be on a tropical getaway. I am just loving all things pineapple right now.

Mermaid Ring ($29.50)

Ariel vibes right here please! This is so fun and whimsical!

Garden Crew Neck Cardigan ($17.99)

I thought this would look perfect with my green Ralph Lauren dress. It’s a great deal and I can’t wait to wear it!

Alex Evenings Embroidered Jacket Dress ($139.30)

This dress gives me Kate Middleton vibes – it’s totally something you would wear to a royal event. I love the floral jacket, it’s SO classy!

Womens Naturalizer Anna Floral Classic Pumps ($98.99)

I’m sad that Payless is out of business because they usually had the cutest Easter shoes. While not as inexpensive, these are adorable for spring and I bet they are comfortable too!

Kate Spade Precious Pansy Wrap Ring ($88)

This is just darling, I love it!

Jenna Kator Petoskey Backpack ($119)

I watch my niece a lot these days and it is hard to lug around a purse while chasing after a toddler. This bag is dreamy and would be perfect for my weekends with Skyler.

Graphic Muscle Tank Top for Women ($15)

This is the perfect addition to my workout wardrobe and will be great for walking the dog.

Vince Camuto Laguna Belted Sleeveless Fit & Flare Dress ($82.80)

I love the coloring and cut of this dress. It’s perfect for the next event as soon as we get out of quarantine!

Palm Leaf Statement Hair Clip ($40)

This would be so cute on our first post-quarantine vacay or in the casual updo I have going around the house.

What are you enjoying in quarantine right now?

I still love my previous lists which you can view here: Spring 2019, Spring 2017, Spring 2016, Spring 2015 and Spring 2014.
