We have a great variety this round, from fashion, dog toys, and beauty.
First, this Amazon romper has quickly become of my favorites for summer. It’s so comfortable and breathable. I got mine in a size small.
Another item from Amazon is this snuffle mat – it keeps your dogs entertained, looking hidden treats! It basically looks like a mop, but it can be folded up into a bowl or flattened into a mat. I like to hide cheerios in there.
Next, is this pair of earrings from Uncommon James. I love these earrings and they add such an elegant touch to any outfit.
This Tory Burch tote is my go-to purse for work. It fits everything I need and is comfortable to carry around. I love the black, sleek look – perfect for any outfit.
Lastly, the Wet Brush is the only hairbrush I use. It truly is gentle on your hair. I have one at home and one that stays in my office at work. I also love brushing my hair.

Amazon Prime Day is officially here! I just updated my guide to include some deals – a lot of which I think are really good!
I didn’t go crazy with my guide, as I wanted to keep it simple. There are a lot of sales happening this week, and it can be overwhelming, so I stuck with some basics and tried to include a mix of beauty, fashion, and home.
Reak Techniques – beauty sponge. I’ve heard amazing reviews on this – comparable to the Beauty Blender.
Sonicare Electric Toothbrush – If you haven’t made the switch to an electric toothbrush, I’d do It now! I have this exact one, so I’m happy to see this as part of the Prime Day deals! My dentist was able to tell when I made the switch to an electric toothbrush, so it really makes a difference!
Fashion
Nude heels – I’m actually on the market for some nude heels, and I’ve been loving these wrap around options here and here, as well as this pair with clear straps.
Oversized blazer – They’re so easy to style and this one comes in a variety of colors.
Home
Velvet hangers – I use these hangers and have almost switched out my entire closet with them. I love how thin they are and how the clothes actually stay on. Highly recommend.
Newair Wine Cooler – This is the large size and is normally over a thousand bucks, but the Prime Day deal brings it to just under $960!
I will continue to update my Amazon Storefront as I see more deals come up (that I think are great!). I have a “Prime Day 2022” section you can reference as you shop!
Happy shopping!

Happy Sunday! Today, I wanted to share the top three items I carry with me. These are items that can fit in any purse, big or small.
#1 – Lip balm/chapstick
My lips get dry so fast, so lip balm or chapstick is a MAJOR must-have for me. At home, I use Aquaphor, but I don’t want to carry a big tube of it everywhere I go, and the Aquaphor lip balm just isn’t my fave. I prefer the Vaseline lip balm for on-the-go.
#2 – Hand lotion
My hands get so dry, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only made it worse with all the extra hand-washing we were all doing. I personally love the travel-size lotions from Bath and Body Works. They’re perfect to carry in your purse or to leave in your car.
#3 – A hairbrush
I LOVE brushing my hair – it’s like giving yourself a scalp massage! I also feel like it helps dry my hair faster after a shower. My favorite brushes are from Wet Brush – they’re painless and easily undo any tangles. I need to mention that I only use full-size brushes – for some reason, travel-size brushes just feel different to me and just don’t give off the same effect as full-size brushes do!
I do have a bonus mention that I only carry with me in my work purse, but not in my everyday purse – facial sunscreen spray.
I have yet to come across one that I really love, but I’ve been using this one from Supergoop, which is not my favorite because it sprays everywhere except your face. I have been using this one from Neutrogena, it’s okay – it definitely has a better spray nozzle than the one from Supergoop! I will let you all know when I do find one that I genuinely love.
That does it for this blog post – I hope you all have a great week!

I hope you’re all having a great holiday weekend! This week, I wanted to bring you all my top 5 beauty must-haves. Once I find products that are actually effective, I continuously buy them. I feel like so many products hold broken promises, so it’s always nice when you find one that actually works.
Revitalash Eyelash Serum & Conditioner – I’ve been using this serum for more than a year now, and it’s a normal part of my daily beauty routine. I have this blog post where I share the results I saw each month when I first started using it – this might be different for you, maybe you’ll see length first, and then the curl effect. Regardless, I’m very happy with Revitalash and won’t use another serum!
Smashbox Halo Tinted Moisturizer – This is a newer product for me, but I am in LOVE with it! I love how light and airy it feels on the ski, as well as the coverage you get out of this tinted moisturizer. It’s perfect for summer and really gives off a nice glow! Match it up with a powder and bronzer and you’ve got the lightest makeup day.
Moisturizing body lotion – My favorite body lotions are from Bath and Body Works – they have the best scents and they’re very moisturizing. I always stock up when BBW is having a sale – which I highly recommend!
NYX Eyebrow Pencil – Eyebrow pencils are my favorite and I love the ones from NYX. I use it every day and my eyebrows always look soft and put together.
Good cleansers – aka a good cleansing system. You may remember my blog post on the double cleansing method – which I still use today. This system is really effective and I believe it’s helped my skin stay clear since I started incorporating it in my daily beauty routine. I use the Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm from Clinique and the cleanser from CeraVe

This is the time when I do the majority of my shopping from Nordstrom. I try to stick to a theme every year in order to stay focused and within my budget. For example, during the year COVID-19 first hit, I stuck with loungewear. Another year, my focus was on accessories – Nordstrom’s brand is great quality! This year, my focus is kind of spread out.. where I’m wanting one lounge piece, maybe one necklace, and perhaps a pair of shoes? Yes, I don’t really have a theme this year, but if I plan to stick to only ONE item per category, I think I’ll be good! I’ll share what I eventually end up ordering!
One important thing to take note of is the tiered access system. If you’re a Nordstrom Card holder, you’ll get earlier access to the sale, depending on how much you spend a year.
One important thing I need to mention is to ALWAYS stay focused and never go past your budget. It can be very easy to get excited and get off track – which is why I find a theme for each year or a main focus. A general piece of advice for any major sale is to stick to basics. I recently read that your wardrobe should be 80% basics and 20% trendy pieces, which I think is a great rule to follow.
I usually use this sale to try something I’ve been wanting to try, but didn’t want to make the splurge without a sale. I also use this sale as a time to buy jewelry. I’ve found Nordstrom brand jewelry to be great quality! I have a number of pieces from Nordstrom that have lasted years!
I took a look at the preview for the sale and put together things I don’t think will sell out fast. One of my biggest pet peeves is hearing full-time influencers share items that are already sold out by the time the general public has access to the sale. So, I made it a point to only include a few big name brand pieces. I do have one collage dedicated to Barefoot Dreams, but I’m hoping there’s enough variety to where you will still have options if something is sold out – like the leopard blanket for example – it sells out FAST! So, I include other blanket styles as well.
My husband never shops the NSale, so I didn’t take the time to make any collages for the menswear/accessories. The same goes for kids, since we don’t have kids.
The NSale is one of my favorite sales and I look forward to it every year! I hope you find my guide helpful!

Apart from an aquafacial, I’ve never had any microdermabrasion work done, so I’m entirely new to this process and experience. What I like about this set, is that it comes with everything, including exfoliating discs of different strength levels. I also like that it comes with different caps, allowing for a more custom experience with your microdermabrasion.
You’ll see in my full video below that it’s important to use this on a freshly cleaned face. I personally like using this on a weekend, on a day when I don’t plan on wearing a full face of makeup. I think it’s important to allow your skin to breathe after using this – give your skin a good break!
The big question is.. does this actually work? I’m not an expert in this field, but you’ll get my full thoughts on this in my video below. Check it out and let me know what you think!
