The Sweet Sunshine

It’s that time of year again – the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale (Nsale) is here!! This is hands down one of my favorite sales and it happens every year in July. It is a little different from your typical sale because Nsale items start on sale, then go up to their original price on August 8th. I love that the sale features current trends and new pieces created just for this sale!

If you are not a Nordstrom debit card or credit card holder, you will have to wait to shop the sale until July 22. I have the Nordstrom debit card and I love it. I don’t like signing up for new credit cards, but the Nordstrom debit card is perfect because it links to your checking account and doesn’t pull from your credit when you sign up. PLUS, if you use your Nordstrom card during the Anniversary Sale, you get triple points for everything you purchase with it… which means lots of $20 Nordstrom notes!!

So, I tried staying up until midnight Wednesday night to shop the sale because many items do sell out quickly. But, this grandma (a.k.a me) obviously didn’t make it up that late. So, I did some shopping online throughout the day and I stopped in the store after work. There is soooo much good stuff this year! I’m going to share some of the things I purchased yesterday and some other items that are currently in my shopping cart.

First up, this sleeping mask. I had to order this online because it wasn’t available in the store, but I am so excited to try it out! I used to have trouble sleeping at night, but one of the things that made such a huge difference in getting a better night’s sleep is wearing an eye mask. However, there are masks out there that can really irritate your skin and even cause wrinkles. This mask is actually suppose to improve the appearance of your skin and prevent wrinkles… we shall see!

Another purchase from today that I am really excited about is this blanket. OMG… It is the softest and most cozy blanket ever! I found it in the store and knew I had to have it. Josh keeps our place so cold at all times so I am always cuddling up with a blanket. It is still a little pricey for a blanket, but I know I am going to use it everyday, so it is worth it!

There are so many cute pieces of clothing as part of the sale, so it was hard not to go overboard. I bought two really cute tops (here and here). They were seriously a steal! I also bought this basic tee (seen in the main pic above.) I wear these type of tees all the time and they are only $15! I think I may have to buy one in every color. 🙂

I also purchased this makeup set by Bobbi Brown. I have been wanting to try the Bobbi Brown Eye Opening mascara for a while now, so I’m excited to try it out along with the eye shadow palette and eyeliner. It is such a great deal for all three items!

So, that’s all for today, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have my eye on several other things. 🙂 I linked some of them below.
