I was inspired by many random messages over the past few months, asking me about how I am handling some major changes this year (breakup, graduation, career shifts…) and here are my top recommendation of what to do when life throws you a curve ball! But being scared or anxious is not going to help me think wisely in this situation, so as I make this decision I intend to put aside my fears and go for the dream that is so big it scares me. I know it can be difficult especially as someone living with anxiety to not live in the past but take all that time you are wasting on the past and use it towards the future. If you feel called to knit or paint or whatever, do it, because for some important reason your body/mind/subconscious spirit is calling you to use your time to feed your soul in whatever way feels right for YOU.

So everyone and their dog knows about the Nordstrom Sale and Amazon Prime Day, but what many do not know is that there are soooo many other retailers working to compete with these sales using their own promotions. Because July is historically the worst month for the retail industry, and while Nordstrom and Amazon lead the fight against the drop in sales, plenty of other brand are not too far behind them. This week, some retailers are offering the LOWEST PRICES YOU WILL FIND, and I intend to bring all those deals to one place (this article), as well as update you regarding the bigger sales, including restocks and dupes for Nordstrom!

This year, in the spirit of transparency, and content that is of better quality for my audience, I will be sharing a very short post with the pieces that I truly believe are worth purchasing during this sale solely based on my views and opinions as a consumer. They are normally 100 year round so the price during the sale is the best you will see for the long lasting product. It Now This is what I refer to as my “short list” aka the items I will go home with from the Nordstrom store on day one of the sale. These items I intend to purchase during the sale but will likely wait a few days and order online either due to unavailability in store or the limitations I set for myself with my budget.

The Nordstrom Sale is a good sale but that may not mean it is the best sale. For example, I love my Free People waffle sweater, and one year I was looking for similar styles in more colors but at a better price. When you are shopping beauty, look at the sets, but only buy them if it is exactly what you are looking for FOR LESS than what you have been seeing, and do not fall into a trap buying a set even though you won’t use everything. I will not be looking at the “kinda cute” items, I will be looking at whatever I can keep wearing for years and years.
