Nordstrom Anniversary Sale | My Wish List

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is something I look forward to EVERY year. It’s a time when you can find some of the best deals on a number of items from women and men’s clothing, accessories, home decor, and much, much, more. Mark your calendars! The sale opens to the public on August 19th!

I use this time to stock up on skincare products I know I like (if they’re part of the sale), and to try new products I couldn’t bring myself to splurge full price on.

Of course, if there aren’t a lot of items I’m super interested in, it’s okay! There’s no need to try and find something just for the sake of buying an item on sale. Plus, there’s always next year!

Since I have a Nordstrom credit card, I’m able to shop the sale before the public. In fact, you can even apply for a Nordstrom credit card anytime from now until ONE day before the sale. BUT — do not go into debt over this or any sale. Give yourself a budget to follow and stick to!

While I won’t have a video guide for the sale, I thought it’d be fun to still outline what I’m looking to get this year.

This year, I’m going for more of a relaxed vibe with clothing. Maybe a restock on a skincare item, a bra I know I like, maybe some jewelry, and a Barefoot Dreams blanket I’ve been putting off on getting. Again, this is just my wishlist – I won’t be getting everything.

This whole working from home thing has really got me excited for new loungewear, and with the COVID-19 pandemic looking like it’s not going away anytime soon (although, I would like it to!), I’ve decided I need more loungewear! Also, my feet always get cold.. so that’s why I added the Barefoot Dreams fuzzy socks to my wish list, haha.

As for the earrings, this looks like the same pair I got the first time I shopped the sale a few years ago. I somehow ended up losing one of them, and I’ve been bummed about it ever since! So, I thought the price for a new set wasn’t bad.

Yes, the Chanel lip balm isn’t part of the sale, but I figured I’d just add it to my wishlist anyway and order it all at once. I’ve heard great things about it too!

I’ve also been looking to get more workout tops and figured why not add at least one to this list. This Free People top has great reviews and I definitely wouldn’t be getting it if it wasn’t on sale.

You may have noticed pajama sets in my list — I think they’re cute and I really don’t have any pj sets in my wardrobe.

The black and white top from Threat & Supply looks so soft – I hope it fits good too! This is the most challenging part of online shopping – you just hope it all fits right!

I’m super picky about my jewelry, but I think the silver Cubic Zirconia Bangle from Nordstrom would look great with a gold or silver watch.

The Natori bra on my list is something I already have in a different color. I love how it fits and feels, and I thought this would be a great time to get a second one.

Jo Malone London fragrances are something I see on nearly everyone’s wishlist/guide for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I’ve never smelled any of their perfumes or candles, but I’m considering trying out their Mini Discovery Set.

If you’ve ever seen any Nordstrom Anniversary Sale guide, then it should be no surprise to see the Barefoot Dreams blanket on my wish list. I have one of their cardigans from a previous sale – it’s huge on me. It basically looks like a robe, but I still wear it. So, I’ll be sure to try on other cardigans in store before I purchase another one. I’ve definitely been wanting one of their blankets, and now is the perfect time!

Rothy’s Mini Handbag | Review

If you haven’t heard yet, I’m a BIG fan of Rothy’s. I love that they take recycled plastic materials, like plastic water bottles, and turn them into fashion!

I have two pairs of their loafers and one pair of rounded-toe flats. They’re comfy and MACHINE WASHABLE.. the best part in my opinion.

When I saw they released a handbag, I knew I had to eventually get one.

I settled on the Mini Handbag in Candy Apple and so far, I love it! It’s soft, yet sturdy and holds everything I need. I also love that it adds a pop of color to any outfit.

One thing I wasn’t expecting was a laundry bag! The handbag came with both a storage bag and laundry bag – definitely made the price worth it for me.

Teami Restore | Review

#TeamiPartner

As a Teami Partner, I’ve been able to try a few different products ranging from tea blends and dietary supplements.

The latest product I’ve been enjoying is Teami Restore. It’s a powder mix full of calcium, magnesium and vitamin C.

According to the website, it’s meant to help you feel recharged and fully rested! – A way to destress.

While their website recommends drinking the mix before bed, I personally have been finding myself reaching for it after work as a cold drink.

I prefer cold drinks over hot drinks, but I definitely need to mix the powder in HOT water to make sure it’s well blended. Afterwards, I’ll add in a few ice cubes to help cool it down faster.

Does it work? I was definitely skeptical at first, but I do think it helps me relax faster than I normally could just sitting at home after work.

If you’re new to Teami, I would recommend trying out their tea blends. My favorite is the Skinny Tea. You can watch my full review on the tea here.

My code will also work on some of their tumblers.

PiperWai Natural Deodorant |Review

I’ve always been interested in switching to a natural deodorant, but all the ones I’ve tried just never worked for me!

If you’re a fan of the show, Shark Tank, you’ve probably heard of PiperWai before. I haven’t been watching the show much lately, but luckily, we have Hulu and I was able to watch the full episode with PiperWai.

The main ingredient in their natural deodorant is activated charcoal. According to their website, it’s supposed to absorb sweat and neutralize odor.

It can take about two weeks for your body to fully adjust to a natural deodorant, so I gave myself about three weeks to try out the PiperWai deodorant!

Change your AirPods, change your life! | Apple AirPods Pro (fun) review

I’m kind of late to the Apple AirPods bandwagon, but better late than never, right? I was always against AirPods – they’re too small, I’ll easily lose them! However, I recently started to see how convenient they can be. Especially on walks, during workouts, cleaning, and just listening to music without bothering others – hands-free! My favorite part is I can now walk my dogs while talking to my friend through the AirPods. Now all I need are athletic shorts with pockets to hold my iPhone!

Here’s my fun take on my review of the AirPods Pro, similar in style to my first Rothy’s Loafers review:

I learned that the biggest difference between the AirPods and AirPods Pro is the noise-canceling feature. Since I’m not a tech guru, I definitely recommend you do more research on them before making the splurge!

My new egg/teardrop hanging chair

I’ve been seeing these egg/teardrop hanging chairs more and more in the past few months (pre-COVID-19), and I’ve always thought they were so cute and such a fun idea.

I decided to just go for it and purchase one for myself!

I took the time to search for one I really liked and wasn’t too expensive. I had found cheaper versions of the egg chair, but that’s all it was – just a chair, not a swing.

Overstock.com actually had a sale going on, and I found one I actually liked! It also came with a stand and pillows, which I thought was convenient because I saw a few listings where you had to buy the chair and stand separately.

I ended up buying the Cayuse Outdoor Wicker Tear Drop Hanging Chair from Overstock. It was originally listed at $417, but I got it for $377 (with the sale and a coupon!).

Unfortunately, it’s out of stock, but here’s the link in case it comes back: https://bit.ly/3gmE7aJ

I highly recommend getting a rain cover. Here’s the one I have: https://amzn.to/3hiVaL1

Here’s a few options from Walmart: https://bit.ly/3eno8XX

Here’s a popular one I’ve seen from Target (this one doesn’t hang): https://bit.ly/3dbX6CU
