Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021

Today I am sharing with you all my TOP PICKS from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. There are sooo many good sales this year I can't even hide my excitement! The sale includes BRAND NEW fall merchandise and of course wardrobe staples. Keep reading below for details!

WHAT IS THE NORDSTROM SALE?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale also known as the #NSale is one of Nordstrom's biggest sales of the year which goes for a few weeks.

WHY SHOP THE NORDSTROM SALE?

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is probably the BEST sale of the year and among any retailer. The sale has brand new items for the upcoming fall that are marked down which is very exciting (prices go back up after the sale). This is the best time to stock up on your sweaters, jeans, boots, shoes, makeup, handbags, etc. Not only can you stock up on your fall items alot of wardrobe staples go on sale as well such as workout gear, jeans, leggings, cardigans, t-shirts, etc.

Unlike other sales where items start at full price and then get marked down, Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the opposite. Items start on sale for a selected period of time and then prices will go back up in August. 

To avoid getting overwhelmed I always have a strategy in place when shopping the Nordstrom sale. First I go through my closet to see what I need. Do I need new pair of boots? Leggings? Tanks? Sweaters? After putting together a list of items I need, I then browse the Nordstrom catalog to get a sense of what will be going on sale. I jot down brands, styles, and prices so I know which departments to go to first. It's like creating a road map! I also use the “Wishlist” tool on the Nordstrom website to save any items that I want to buy - this is a great tip for staying organized and only buying what you need to buy!

Nordstrom offers curbside pickup and expedited shipping. Nordstrom makes it super easy to shop from the comfort of your home. I know I’ll be doing alot of online shopping over the next few days!

10 Swim Essentials for Baby

Vacationing with Veer has been so much fun! It’s been so amazing to see him in the pool and on the beach - sooo many giggles and smiles! We came prepared for our trip to the Bahamas since during the summer months it can get extremely hot and babies skin is so sensitive that you’ll want to take extra precautions in the sun. I thought it would be very useful to round up our baby must haves for the pool and/or beach.

Happy Half Birthday to Baby Veer! These six months have flown by so fast and I swear time goes faster when you have a child. I wish time would slow down, things felt so slow in the first few weeks of coming home from the hospital but sped up like no other. Each day brings something new and fun. Being a mom is the best thing in the world!

To Veer, I love you very much and I am honored to be your mother. You always light up the room with your smile and bring us much joy. You make us complete in a way I could never have imagined.

Fourth of July weekend is here and I can’t believe half of the year is already over! Fourth of July translates into BBQ’s, weekend at the beach, fireworks and great company. It’s one of those holidays that I try to plan on either mixing stripes and different shades of red, white and blue or wearing a dress that has some if not all of the colors.

Review of Sugar Bar Salon in Rittenhouse Square

Last week I had the opportunity to visit Sugar Bar Salon which is located in the heart of Rittenhouse Square on 214 S 20th Street for their facial. The services which Sugar Bar Salon offers is Sugaring, Facials, Eyelashes and Brows.

Sugar Bar Salon is known for their sugaring which is a hair removal technique, however unlike waxing, it does not adhere to any live skin cells. Instead, the sugar binds to the hair being removed while lifting dead skin cells which is less painful and results in less irritation. The sugar itself is just made up of three simple ingredients: sugar, water and lemon.

The space itself is warm and inviting. While I waited I was offered a beverage and I went with a glass of bubbly which was absolutely perfect on a hot spring day.

Once they were ready for me, I was brought back to a private room and I changed into a soft towel wrap so that I wouldn’t get any product on my clothing (kind of reminded me of getting a massage). My esthetician came in and instantly made me feel at ease, especially since this was my first ever facial.

My esthetician started the process by doing a consult and asked me of my skin type and what my problem areas were. She then cleaned my skin and then applied a warm towel. The services I received during my facial were dermaplaning, extractions, gua sha and a refining mask. She went through each step throughly and I liked that she explained everything. My skin after the facial felt smoother than it had been in years and my skin looked SO fresh!

I highly recommend Sugar Bar Salon and can’t wait for my next visit! If you are a student or healthcare worker you can get a 10% discount at Sugar Bar Salon.
