You may know that my new friend from the blog, Lucille, decided to join my Energizer Bunny Friend and me on the Rodan + Fields trip to Charleston, SC. I know many of you know that EBF and I are from a very, very small town in Virginia and Lucille is from New Jersey. In my mind, I think the big city and bright lights and that EBF and I are the little country bumpkins from the sticks. It really didn’t take but just a few minutes and a few shared stories for me to realize that deep down we are more alike than I would have ever imagined.
BUT, the funny thing is that I thought “she” would be showing us new and exciting things instead of the other way around. Well, exciting might be a stretch of the imagination. We were driving and discovered that we need to get fuel fairly quickly. Lucille asks us where do we get gas. We looked at her strange and said, “the gas station.” Then we went to the gas station and I got out to pump gas which floored Lucille. “YOU are going to pump your own gas? Doesn’t someone do it for you?” She said that in New Jersey they still have full-service stations and that she had NEVER pumped gas. That was her first lesson of the day but not her last. Later we went out to grab a bite to eat and of course we had to take a picture of our drinks altogether. We were trying to get all the background crap out of the picture when I mentioned that if we had an iPhone 7 we could use the Portrait mode. Lucille asked me what Portrait mode was and that she had an iPhone 7. Her 2nd lesson for the day took place then. But, that was not her last lesson. Lol! Now let’s talk about UBER. You would think that the country bumpkins would be the ones who didn’t know how to use UBER but nope, it was jersey girl!!! I would love to go and visit her one day because I know that she has a lot to teach me also.
White on white was my idea for a day at the beach. I have worn this lace pattern top before. We donned our bathing suits under our clothes and headed off to the beach. EBF and Lucille teased me for wearing my Natalie necklace on the beach. Come, on ladies, you have to look nice! LOL!!! I also have the matching earrings and the matching bracelet on. I bought these white cutout lace pants at Cato’s earlier in the year but I had never worn them until today. I envisioned wearing them on the beach the day I bought them so this worked out perfect. Flowy, nothing touching me, and elastic waist, these may be my new favorite pants. The only thing that I didn’t like about them was that they caught on my bracelet several times.
There is just something cool about this photo. I think it might be the fact that you can’t really see my face. I guess I thought that was a good thing. Lol!!!Because I was going to the beach I wore my bathing suit under my outfit. As you can see the pants makes a great coverup when you just want to grab a bite to eat or go to the beach bar for a drink. I can’t believe that I appeared on this blog in a bathing suit.

Love the beach photos today! I think that necklace is perfect to wear to the beach. You know, beach + oysters = pearls, hence the Natalie necklace! (ha ha) I love pearls and I don’t care if they’re real or fake, pearls are just plain pretty. I am SO excited about the new stronger retinol product!!! I can’t wait to try it!!!
I love that picture …it’s very “cool, strong, I am woman hear me roar”. The background is so perfect for your lace outfit with fluffy clouds and sandy beach behind you.
Good morning, Cutie-Pie! ADORE your cutout and crochet outfit! Gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️Your jewelry! I must say that I bought that set for myself! I love pearls! You look darn good in your bathing suit! I don’t own one…..BUT, with your guidance I know it’s a must!
SO happy you’re having SO much fun with your pals in Charleston! Charleston is one of my most favorite places! Sun, the beach, good food and wine! The moonlight off the water is so romantic! Charlestonians are SO hospitable!
Hope you have fun, fun, fun! Your friends are SO lucky to be there with you! ????✨
If she lived in rural NJ as we did…7 farms in 1.5 miles and then the last covered bridge in NJ…I am not surprised. And YES…”Jersey Girls Don’t Pump Gas” …I had to teach my daughter how when we drove to SC for her job interview…BTW…she lives right outside of Charleston!!
Hi I live in NJ and we never pump our gas but every state surrounding us does require you to pump so I do know how if necessary. Love your outfit and love Charleston. So enjoy,

I lived in New Jersey for a few years. There is a law where they pump your gas. Very nice.
