Just (the Best) Sales: Nordstrom, Sephora & Mother’s Day Gifts

Oh man, yesterday was bittersweet!  We celebrated Ali-Shaun’s 40th birthday with a looong car parade and I really just wanted to jump out of the car and hug everyone! We haven’t seen each other in person in what feels like ages.

And seeing Ali-Shaun standing outside her house while all of us just drove past was hard.  40 calls for a big birthday celebration and we wanted to be able to be together for it.  I know lots of you can relate or have had other things like graduations or weddings that have had to be completely cancelled, so I commiserate with you.

I try to allow myself to “feel my feelings”, and then remember that this is but a moment in time.  Certainly one we will never forget!  And one that calls for a little more wine!

Cheers during quarantine

With Mother’s Day on the horizon, I picked out a few things she’s sure to appreciate!  I swear, I’ve been eyeing that Tory Burch tote for years!

LIV IT UP Lipstick • Colleen Rothschild Gift Card • Hand Cream • Quay Sunnies • Barefoot Dreams Cardigan • Tory Burch Watch Band • Bracelets • Chocolates • Miller Sandals • Tory Burch Tote

LIV IT UP Lipstick • This is the lipstick I’ve been wearing most since I originally bought it.  It’s a gorgeous, soft shade of pink and the formula is creamy and lasts.  I’ve gotten lots of requests for this makeup tutorial, so I’ll do that on Stories soon!

LIV IT UP lipstick

Coin Necklace • Choker (on sale) • Fringe Earrings • Dress (on sale)

Colleen Rothschild Gift Card • I’ve given many special women in my life skincare products from Colleen Rothschild (the Discovery Kit is always a hit), but if you want to let her choose, did you know Colleen offers gift cards?!

Hand Cream • This hand cream is luxurious and deeply nourishing and I love the tube it comes in.  Only $12!

Quay Sunnies • These shades are functional and chic! They come in black and tortoise.

Barefoot Dreams Cardigan • Of course you cannot go wrong with this cozy cardigan, but I’m particularly loving this new shade of pale blue.

Tory Burch Watch Band • This band is so cool in the blue/green/ivory stripe!

Bracelets • How cute are these “mom” and “♥” bracelets?! They come in a set of 2 for $25!

Chocolates • I was given these chocolates as a gift last Christmas and they are so special!  They come perfectly packaged are are seriously mini works of art! But, they taste amazing too!

Miller Sandals • If you really want to spoil mom (or be spoiled) these sandals are a splurge, but worth it!

Tory Burch Tote • THIS is the tote I’ve been wanting forever!  It never goes out of style and will hold a laptop, book, and another other necessities.  It’s a nylon/patent material with magnetic closure and shoulder strap.

Have a fantastic day friends!
