Round up all the books I read in March!

My favorite was easily A Court of Mist and Fury. This is book two of the Court of Thorns and Roses series. I loved this one so much more than book 1!

My least favorite was The Guest. Disappointing as I have loved so many of the author’s other books. I am also really tired of the affair storyline.

Did you have any books you read and loved in March? Share them in the comments so I can add them to my to read list!

I just did a reel on Instagram that you all are loving about how I swap products in my own home to a low tox version. Following the reel I asked you all what product you wanted to switch to a low tox version. The most popular responses were laundry detergent and deodorant.

I have rounded up some of the easy swaps I’ve made including the laundry detergent and deodorant I use!

Found the most perfect layering piece for spring!

This pretty square-neck cap-sleeve top is a beautiful color (comes in 9 options) and is thin enough to easily tuck into pants, skirts, shorts, etc. I ordered color agave. It would be a great work too for spring as it has a tasteful neckline and can easily be layered.

It is very form fitting so I recommend sizing up one size.

Currently on sale for less than $30!

Worn here with some of my fave skinny jeans. Can’t wait to style this for spring!

A couple Clearstem empties this morning!

Hands free, wipe clean, easily fits wipes, 1-2 diapers, a wallet, hand sanitizer, and a few snacks.

Wore my favorite Nickel and Suede earrings last night for a date night to see Nate Bargatze! These lightweight earrings are the perfect statement piece to add to your collection.

My exact design is unavailable, so I’ve rounded up similar styles and colors instead. Since it’s Super Bowl Sunday, you know I had to include some Kansas City Chiefs options as well! These earrings would make a great last minute Valentine’s Day gift, too.

This is a great, KC local business to support. Shop small!

This pretty green striped top is on sale today for $35! A better than basic piece with stripes going in a different direction at the shoulders. Incredibly flattering! I’m in my normal size small.

#LTKsalealert #LTKSpringSale #LTKfindsunder50

Need a rash guard for upcoming outdoor activities? I recently snagged this women’s rash guard to wear while kayaking in Florida and loved it! I normally try to stay in the shade, but this is a great option to allow me to do activities in the sun without worrying about burning. Comes in 8+ colors and right around $25.

This will be a summer staple for me as we kayak, boat, and play with our kiddos in the lake/pool!

#LTKfindsunder50 #LTKswim #LTKstyletip

Some new pieces for spring arrived and I’m obsessed!

These light wash jeans are a bit of a stretch for me. I’m normally a dark jeans girl but I’ve been wanting more variety in my wardrobe. Love how these fit - I took my normal size. Currently on sale for $60, too!

I am 5’3” and the length of the regulars are perfect. They hit right above the ankle bone. If you’re tall, select the tall length.

This green striped shirt is a better than basic top! The way the stripes shift directions at the shoulders and the light ruching on shoulders make this striped tee more special.

#LTKfindsunder100 #LTKsalealert #LTKstyletip

Branching out into some lighter wash jeans! Just got these in and they are on sale for $60. I am 5’3” and they fit right at my ankle bone in regular length. If you are tall, pick the tall length.

Top is also on sale today for just over $5! A great layering piece if you need some new basics in your wardrobe.

Very comfy and can’t wait to style them this spring!

Finished this book last night and really liked it! 3.5/5 stars for me.

If you are wanting to focus more on your faith, are looking for a way to bring religion into your home, or have any desires to get closer to God this is a great book. It shares small habits you can start to bring faith/religion to the center of your household.

Just had to order a new one of these so thought I’d share it again! Use code DARCYLYNN at checkout to save 15%.

The number one product that cleared my acne wasn’t a topical product, but a natural supplement! If you feel like you’ve tried everything to clear your acne and nothing is working… chances are there are some hormonal/gut impacts to your skin.

I saw noticeable results within just 2 weeks of taking it. I’ve learned that dairy is a big trigger in my acne. I’ve cut it mostly out, but sometimes still have dairy on things like pizza. Taking this let’s me enjoy those occasional tastes without seeing the impacts on my skin.

Curious to try it out? Use code DARCYLYNN to save 15%! I’ve converted my entire skincare line to Clearstem and love it so much. Feel free to reach out with questions. I’ve linked some of my other faves from their line in the similar products section.

If you’re looking for your next read, this is it! Five stars for me.

Georgia’s great grandma, Scarlett, was a romance author. When she passes away, she leaves her literary estate to Georgia. Scarlett left one book behind that was 3/4 of the way finished. She couldn’t ever finish the story because it was her story. The unfinished book is the story of her finding love with a pilot, Jameson, during WW2 in England.

Noah is the author selected to finish the book.

The story is told in alternating voices and times. It shares both Noah and Georgia’s perspectives finishing the book , falling for one another, and dealing with past heartbreak. It also shares Scarlett’s story as she meets and falls for Jameson.

A beautiful story with an ending I didn’t see coming. If you like historical fiction and romance novels you will love it. Read more books.

Does Taylor Swift’s Travis Kelce jacket have you wanting some new Kansas Chiefs Taylor Swift gear? Got ya covered with today’s post! You all loved this “How the kingdom lights shined” shirt last time I shared yet. Rounded up a bunch of other options as well in case you want something that specifically says Chiefs! Go Chiefs!

(Pssst. These would make great gifts for the Swiftie in your life!)

New year, new kicks!

Treated myself to some new shoes for working out for my birthday. How pretty is that rose gold?! I pretty much always buy myself a new pair of running shoes every January.

These are on sale for under $70 but sizes are going fast. For that reason, I linked two other styles of workout shoes.

The first, are under one hundred but don’t have the rose gold accent. The second are almost the exact same color palette as mine with the rose gold, mint, and purple. These are slightly different though as they have some pink in there too! Lots of options available for you depending on your color preference.

If working out, getting healthy, or getting in shape is one of your goals for 2024 check these out!

I go up a half size in running shoes.

Trying out a new skincare product nicknamed the “No Botox Serum”! Good for acne scars, fine lines, and sun damage. Helps with collagen repair and new collagen stimulation. Use code DARCYLYNN to save 15% and see younger looking skin!

Who wants some cute new pjs?!

Got these for my birthday last week and absolutely love them. So soft, a pretty green color, and fit great. I am 5’3” and would not recommend them for taller people as they are the perfect length for me. (Unless you want cropped pjs - then they’d be perfect!) on sale currently for $39 and available in 4 colors.

Book number 2 finished in 2024!

This is a spicy romance novel set in Chicago. Zanders is Chicago’s NHL Team’s resident bad boy. Stevie just got a new job as a flight attendant for the team’s plane for away games.

Stevie is the first person to stand-up and challenge Zanders and they start up a witty banter. Even though sparks are flying, Stevie is weary of dating a professional athlete (not to mention its forbidden by her employer).

Read on for how they help each other overcome insecurities and past trauma.

The first book in a 3 book series. Don’t need to be read in order but there will be some slight spoilers of you read out of order. (I started with book two as I didn’t know they were all connected with supporting characters.)

3/5 stars for me!
