If you’ve been eyeing a Beachwaver, you’ll want to check out this sale!
The S-Series is $80 off from now until Sunday.. plus an additional 20% off with my code (CHRISTINADWAVE)! Whether you’re buying for yourself or getting an early start on your holiday shopping, this is a great deal you can take advantage of!
There are three options for hair tools that are part of the S-Series however, there are only two sizes. The S.75 will give you a tighter and bouncier curl, while the S1.25 will give you bigger, looser waves. I have both sizes, with the S.75 model in the Catwalk model. All variations include the fast and slower speed options.
All set with your hair tools? I’m happy to share that my discount code will still give you 20% off ANY item on their website (I just tested this a few hours ago)! This means if you’re not interested in the S-Series, you can still save on any hair tool or any haircare product!
If you’re looking for something that gives you more variety, I would recommend the multi-barrel set. It includes three different interchangeable wands:
B1 (1-inch)
Curly Cone (a tapered wand from a 1″ base to a 0.5″ top)
Mega Cone (a tapered wand from a 1.5″ base to a 1″ top)
The sale ends Sunday, Oct. 22nd, and I’m pretty sure that is when my discount code will revert back to giving you 10% off.
Happy shopping! <3

I think just being in my 30s has made me take a serious look at my skincare routine. I find myself asking questions like, “Is this even working?” I want smoother-looking skin, and of course, to rid my face of those annoying blackheads!
The Nu Skin LumiSpa was something I started looking into months ago, however, it is pretty pricey! The ageLOC LumiSpa iO device itself is priced at $245. Throw in the face wash (specific to your skin type), and it’s $255 for the “kit.” I say “kit” in quotes because it doesn’t even include a stand (I was in denial). So, I really took some time, and did a ton of research on whether it would be right for my skin type and if it truly does work.
Just around the time I was ready to bite the bullet and make the big purchase, Nu Skin had an after-Labor Day sale – I was ready! But they also had a special deal if you signed up to be an affiliate – which was NOT my plan at all. I go into more detail about this and my thoughts on MLMs in my full first impressions YouTube video, but the main takeaway here is that I specifically joined the affiliate program in order to get that special deal.
Okay, let’s get right into it..
Does the LumiSpa work? aka, it is effective?
I’ve been using the LumiSpa for nearly three weeks now and I’m happy to say it’s actually quite effective. While I understand it can take your skin/body three months to fully see the effect of a new routine/diet, the things I noticed first were the little blackheads around the corners of my mouth disappearing. These are blackheads so small and close to the surface, so I’m glad I pretty much got instant results in that sense.
I’ve also noticed the LumiSpa truly does lift makeup and face grease away. Please understand, this is not a makeup-removing device, so when I say it lifts makeup away, I’m talking about the leftover makeup on my face, that I didn’t get off with my hands and cleanser.
Here are some screenshots of a few tests I did with the LumiSpa:
Half face test
I used a makeup wipe to remove my makeup and didn’t wash my face in the shower (I don’t think I used enough cleanser in this try).
Half face test
I used a makeup wipe to remove my makeup and washed my face in the shower with cleanser on the other half of my face.
Cleansing balm to remove makeup, no shower
The next morning, no shower
I also want to mention, every time I’ve used my LumiSpa and used a toner on my face – the cotton round is still white! This never happened before the LumiSpa – so I guess I just sucked at cleaning my face.
What I hope to see in the next three months
While I’m happy with the results I’ve seen from the LumiSpa so far, I’m excited to see what’s in store for the next three months. I really hope to see my texture improve, my face continue to look even clearer, and just less acne and blackheads in general.
Should you get it?
I think the LumiSpa can be beneficial for anyone looking to get a deeper cleanse in their skincare routine. However, I do think those who are prone to blackheads will be super happy with the results, because the LumiSpa really does push out blackheads and whiteheads, with ease.
My face never feels irritated after using this twice a day – it only takes two minutes, and that’s the best part! It’s also so easy to use. It’s similar to using the Sonicare toothbrush, where it will vibrate to alert you when it’s time to switch to another section of your face (which Is divided into four quadrants).
I personally don’t think the Nu Skin website is the easiest to use, so I’m linking a few kits with specific cleanser types. I will link one kit with the stand, but let me know if you’re looking to get one in a specific color!

The LIKEtoKNOWit Fall Sale officially began today! If you’ve been planning to shop this sale, you probably already know what you’re purchasing (and maybe already did so!). If you haven’t shopped yet, then my blog post might be helpful to you!
The LTK Fall Sale is an exclusive in-app (LTK) event, featuring several different brands (I feel like a lot of them are always part of any LTK Sale, including Abercrombie and Fitch and Aerie). The sale is between 15% to 30% off. Sincee this is an exclusive in-app only sale, be sure you’re following me on LTK!
I won’t be making collages for every brand participating in this sale, but I can share my favorite Abercrombie jeans! I’ll link my favorite denim in the images below:
What did I buy?
I personally haven’t been looking for anything in particular and really wasn’t planning to shop this sale. However, I did see this denim midi skirt from Abercrombie and thought I would give it a try since they seem to be the latest rage these days. I’ll share a try-on of it when it comes in, on my Instagram account.
Since this blog post is going up on a Thursday night, I’ll be sharing an Abercrombie denim try-on sometime tomorrow. I love see try-ons of clothes I’m planning to buy – it really helps me see how the fit is, especially if it’s another petite content creator doing the try-on – which I always appreciate!
Sizing in Abercrombie jeans
I almost forgot to mention this! When it comes to Abercrombie jeans, I typically get my true size (denim shorts too!). However, when it comes to high-waisted jeans, I’ve recently started going up one size – I’ll share the jeans I did this with in my IG try-on tomorrow.

Happy shopping!

When it comes to bras, I feel like it can take YEARS to find the one you love – the one you want to stick with! I believe I have finally found it: Skims.
I started exploring Skims through their dresses first, then quickly made the move to their undergarments. I quickly fell in love with the brand. Turns out, Kim Kardashian knows what she’s doing. Everything I own from her brand is comfortable and great quality. And yes, the same goes for the bras.
At this time, the newest bra released from Skims is the Teardrop Push-Up Bra. My social accounts were quickly filled with ad videos showing off the fit of the bra, including women of all bust sizes. The one thing I didn’t see, was the inside of the bra itself. So, I’m here to show it to you!
I’ve tried on a ton of push-up bras growing up, and I can say this is one of the best and most comfortable push-ups I’ve ever put on. In fact, I knew I had to give an honest review of the Skims Teardrop Push-Up Bra. It’s a great bra, but it’s just not for me.
I believe it really depends on how you feel while wearing it. While I felt great support and coverage, I feel like it just made me look a little extra; over the top. While I do agree, the bra does give great shape, I’m not looking for the extra oomph that it gives me. However, if that is something you’re looking for – go for it!
Skims TearDrop Push-Up Bra Try-On
On the left side of the image above, I’m wearing my true size in the Skims Fits Everybody T-Shirt Bra (my favorite bra!). On the right side, I’m wearing the Teardrop Push-Up Bra. The difference is crazy! I hope this helps you understand why I decided against keeping the bra. BUT – I did keep the Fits Everybody T-Shirt – I’m obsessed!
However, I have quite a few Skims bras in my collection already. I have fully made the switch to Skims bras not only because they’re comfortable and last, but after so many washes, I have yet to find any spots that fade/tear/fall apart. Nothing has been damaged and started poking me – like I have found with other bras.

Amazon’s Prime Day Sale isn’t something I usually go into detail about, and the reason is because this sale is so challenging to make a guide for! Amazon is a huge supplier of many different products, so a guide on so many areas that you can shop for will easily and quickly be overwhelming – especially when you see so many from full-time influencers – prepping for this sale is truly a full-time job.
What is Prime Day?
Amazon’s Prime Day is a special sale exclusively for Prime members, with deals on a variety of items across different categories. This year, it runs from July 11-12. Not a Prime member? Join here.
Are there sales now?
Yes! There have been rotating sales in the days leading up to it (another reason why this sale is so challenging to keep up with when you have a full-time job), so it’s helpful to keep checking the changing deals every day to see what you can score!
Prime Day Tips
As with any big sale, I recommend you go into it with a focus in mind. This is a sale that you know comes every year – do you want to focus on home items/decor? Or maybe fashion and clothing for the upcoming season? Electronics? Go into the Prime Day Sale with a focus (and a budget!) and I promise you will do better than you thought!
Since I won’t know the full details of what will actually be on sale until the day of, I’m sharing my Amazon favorites for different categories including home, fashion, and pet care! I find this will be a lot easier to do now instead of trying to get collages and a guide together after working a full day at my full-time job.

It’s officially time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! This is my top favorite sale to shop every year – and the preview is such a big help! I love the fact that you can preview the sale, add items you’d like to purchase to your “wish list” and then move them all to your cart when you’re able to access the sale. It saves so much time and makes the whole process less stressful!
What is the NSale?
It’s Nordstrom’s biggest sale/fashion event of the year where you can save on brand new items and home and fashion essentials! The sale runs July 11 (if you’re a Nordstrom card holder. Apply here.)- August 6, but public access to the sale starts July 17.
As usual, access to the sale is broken into tiers:
Since I’m a Nordstrom Card holder, I’m able to shop the sale on July 13 as an “Influencer” (everyone who has the Nordstrom Card starts out at the “Influencer” level.
One thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of the items full-time influencers share, will sell out QUICK! For example, the Barefoot dreams blankets are always part of the sale, and I’ve never been able to grab one during it. It’s also very frustrating because I see a lot of these full-time influencers buy multiples of one item for giveaways!
This is why my guide will have a mix of a few popular items that are always part of the sale (like Spanx faux leather leggings), and other items that I don’t think will sell out as quickly.
Feeling overwhelmed with all the sale collages being thrown at you?
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed when all you see are sale collages on social media. Here’s my technique – go into the sale with a focus. For example, one year I focused on loungewear (must have been 2020/2021 during the COVID-19 Pandemic). Another year, I focused on jewelry/accessories. Also, give yourself a budget – there is no need to go into debt over this sale! Because I’m planning to buy one big item this year, I may not buy anything else, or I might buy one or two items for a total of three items. We shall see!
My NSale Guide
I think the NSale is a great time to stock up on Nordstrom brand jewlery – the quality is great (they don’t turn my skin green!) and it’s very affordable! It’s also a great time to stock up on basic pieces like tanks and trench coats that carry you from fall to winter. Below are my guides that I hope help you find your focus for this year’s sale.
-Shop Nordstrom Beauty-
-Shop Nordstrom Fashion-
-Shop Nordstrom Home-
-Shop Nordstrom Accessories-
-Shop Nordstrom Men’s-
