Amazon Prime Day 2023

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.

I’ve pinned a Prime Day 2023 folder at the top of my Storefront, and I’ve also pinned my top Amazon favorite purchases. I’ll continue to update my Prime Day folder as I see sale items come in the day of, that catch my eye!

Of course, if you are looking for something in particular, let me know and I’ll be happy to keep an eye out for it once the sale begins.

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2023

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.

Best Sellers April 24 – May 1

Hi all! I’m a day late with the best sellers, but it’s okay! This month I have trips every weekend, with the first one being a trip back to my second-favorite state: Colorado! Stay tuned for some fun travel posts throughout the month!

There are two hair tools on the list this week, both of which are on Amazon! The Chi Spin N Curl and this Conair 1-inch curling iron.

Another hair product also makes the list – the Bumble and Bumble volumizing powder dry shampoo. This truly keeps my roots dry and volumized, far better than any other dry shampoo I have tried.

This Free People Movement jacket is so cute and folds into a small bag, making it nice to pack up for small spaces. I got it in a size small, but definitely could have gotten an XS.

Lastly, this Urban Outfitters vest is a nice addition to any vest collection. It definitely has an oversized feel to it.

Hope you all have a great week!

Best Sellers | April 4 – April 10

I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend! Last week’s best sellers includes a mix of fashion and beauty!

I’m so happy to share that my favorite lounge pants have officially made the list! I’m pretty sure they’re pajama pants, but I absolutely love lounging in them! I get a size small.

Those pants also pair well with this crop top from Amazon – I just ordered it in two more colors! I wear a size small in this as well.

The next item is also from Amazon and is a lint roller ball. I specifically got this for my car because there have been several days where I leave the house without lint-rolling my outfit, and I’m covered in corgi hair. The roller ball actually works really well and doesn’t take up too much space in my center console. I have a blog post on all my car essentials here.

This tennis bracelet from Amazon has held up well so far (about two weeks later), and I’m really happy with it! It’s a cute layering piece that adds just enough sparkle.

Finally, the NARS Climax mascara is my new favorite! It does a really good job of fanning out all of my lashes and making them look long and full! I’m not giving full credit to the mascara though, as I know the Revitalash lash serum has made a huge difference in my lashes as well.

Hope you have a good rest of your week!

Best Sellers | March 26 – April 4

Last week’s best sellers are officially in!

First up, is my top seller among all my top sellers, this Amazon purse strap that matches perfectly with my Louis Vuitton Speedy.

My work tote from Tory Burch makes the list once again – it’s perfect for all your everyday work needs! I like using this purse organizer in it too. I have it in the large size.

This Floof dry shampoo from Billie does a great job of soaking up the oils at your roots. I like using it before I go to bed, so that I wake up with extra volume.

The hanging egg swing chair is still my best pandemic purchase – I love that this comes with the stand and cushions. It’s perfect for warm summer days.. I’m basically counting down to summer here in Montana. I feel like it’s been nothing but cold and windy for a year!

Finally, the Coravin is a must-have for all wine lovers. It lets you drink from different bottles of wine without actually needing to uncork the bottle, so you never have to let wine go to waste! I like to keep a variety of different wine on-hand, so this is perfect for me!

Best Sellers | March 1 – March 25

Well, my weekly best sellers fell off the wagon when the holidays rolled in, but I’m getting back to them! So, this week, I’m sharing the top five best sellers from March to this past Saturday.

First, we have the Il Makiage foundation – it’s full coverage and blends really well with a tinted moisturizer if you’re looking for something lighter. Their color-matching quiz on their website also works really well!

Of course, the Stanley tumbler continues to be the rage with just about everyone. I have two myself now (I promise I’m not collecting them!) in the light pink and light blue colors.

This Amazon Kindle cover is so smooth and is really all you need for your Kindle – mine is in purple!

My actual trunk organizer is now sold out, but I did find a really similar one that comes in other color options, so I will link that here. I love my trunk organizer and will even place my groceries in there to keep them from moving around while I drive (not that I’m a crazy driver!).

Lastly, the Jolly Egg from Amazon is one toy Biggie Smalls loves. We have it in red and it’s so funny to see him try to pick up the egg and chase after it.
