HAPPY AMAZON PRIME DAY AND NSALE, Y’ALL!
Today I’m dedicating my post
to two of the biggest sales of the whole year – AMAZON PRIME DAY and the
NORDSTROM NSALE!!
AMAZON PRIME DAY
Today and tomorrow are huge
days for Amazon Prime shoppers because Amazon will be drastically marking down
prices on thousands of items... we're talking 30, 40, 50, and even 60% off of Amazon's already low prices!!!!
This means that today and tomorrow are perfect days to shop for any big ticket items you may need and it’s also a great time to start Christmas shopping. I know that may sound crazy, but last year I purchased quite a few Christmas gifts on Prime Day and then by the time the Christmas season rolled around, I was thanking myself that I already had so many gifts stowed away. It made the season so much easier and I was able to rest assured knowing that we got the very best prices on the items we purchased.

In order to enjoy the deeply
discounted items on Prime Day, you must be an Amazon Prime Member. B and I have been Prime members ever since
they started offering it, like, 15ish years ago and it’s the best money we
spend each year. We save so much money
on our everyday items (Amazon is almost always cheaper than Walmart for
everything) plus frivolous items that it more than makes up for the cost of our
Prime membership each year and saves us lots of money in the long-run. You can sign up here if you haven’t
already.
I'll be sharing lightening deals and all sorts of other great deals in my Instagram Stories today. You can keep up with them on Instagram or you can just click here for the whole list!

Here are a few items that are excellent to shop for
on Prime Day…
Instant Pot – the Instant Pot was the
most purchased item in the United
States
Air Fryer – loads of air fryers are on major sale this year as well since they’re now
becoming so popular.
Blenders – there are lots of Prime Day options for blenders this year. We use ours to mix up drinks and I love to make green smoothies as well!
Echo Dot – Amazon always puts their own products on super sale for Prime Day, so if you’re in the
market for an Echo Dot or any other Amazon products, today will be the day
you’ll find it the very cheapest all year! Today the Amazon Fire TV Stick with Alexa Remote is only $14.99... that's marked down from $39.99 so you save 63%. That's just crazy!
External Hard Drive – I use
external hard drives for storing all of my pictures and videos (I keep one at
my desk for easy access when I need it and I keep a duplicate in our safe in
case of natural disaster or house fire or in case the other one crashes). These are usually included in the sale as
well.
Apple Watch – miscellaneous
electronics are usually put on sale for Prime Day so this is a great time
to purchase an Apple Watch or a FitBit.
23 and Me DNA Kit – these DNA kits are always popular items for the sale as well and you can snag one for HALF OFF today!
Dyson Vacuum – can I just
give a shout out to the people at Dyson for making the best vacuum
evarrrr?! We’ve had ours for several
years now and it’s safe to say I will never own another brand of vacuum
again. Dysons are that good. They literally never loose suction just like
the commercial says. And they are also
allergy and asthma certified so you can rest assured that they don’t put the
allergens back into your living space as you’re vacuuming. That is very important when you’re an asthma
sufferer like I am. Loads of them are on major sale today, so if you've been wanting one, you probably won't find lower prices than these.
Apple iPad - they have lots of different iPads marked waaaay down (like, 30-40% off!!), so now is the time to buy if you've been needing one. This Apple iPod in Space Gray is a deal of the day and it's only $299.99 marked down from $429.00 so you save 30%!! That is HUGE since Apple products are rarely on sale anywhere.
Here are a few items I’ll be stalking and hoping are
on sale today…
Lego Star Destroyer – this
is the main item that Jacob wants for his birthday next week, and by golly, B
and I have decided to wait until Prime Day to purchase it just in case it goes
on sale. Normally I wouldn’t wait this
late to purchase gifts, but since we get free two-day shipping with our Amazon
Prime membership it’ll still get here in plenty of time!
Voltron t-shirt – another item
Jacob has requested so I’ll be stalking Amazon for it.
Yeti Rambler Tumbler – I've wanted one of these for so long so if they happen to go on major sale I might snag one.
Rugs – B and I are need of a
giant rug to go under our bed in our master bedroom, and I’ve had my eye on a
few different ones. It would be lovely
if they’d put one on super sale!
Wet Brush – These are the only brushes I will use and mine is about to bite the dust so I'm in need of a new one.
Jojoba Oil – I've used all of my jojoba oil to make rollers, so I need a bottle to have on hand for replenishment.
In addition to the items above, Amazon is also
offering the following deals…
And don’t forget to follow my Amazon Storefront! All of my favorite
Amazon finds are organized in one place by category there, so head over and
check it out!
NORDSTROM NSALE
In addition to Amazon Prime
Day, I’m sure all of you have had no choice but to be somewhat tuned in to the
NSale as all of the fashion bloggers are covering it to death. Haha. I
don’t consider myself to be a fashion blogger, but I do love fashion and I do
blog about it on occasion, so I thought I’d throw my two cents in the ring.
Some of the bloggers have
been rounding up hundreds of items which is a little overwhelming, so instead
of sharing 100 different finds spread over 10 different categories, I’m going
to share my top ten picks from the sale.
Remember that lots of items sell out SUPER FAST so if there’s anything
you’ve been thinking about getting, the sooner you get it, the better. And rest assured, none of my picks will break
the bank… y’all know I won’t pay $100 for a sweater!
Y’all ready? Let’s go!
O N E – Leopard Camisole
This cami is at the top of
my list because it is just so versatile and so chic! You could dress it up with a pencil skirt and
blazer for work, wear it with skinny jeans and heels for a date night, or rock
it with jeans, a long cardigan, and boots for a casual cold weather look. At just $25.90 this one is a steal, and it
also comes in several other cute patterns and colors… the polka dot one is
super cute, too. Shout out to Emily for
snagging one early for me since I’m not a Nordstrom card holder! :o)
T W O – Twist Front Top
This top is my verrrry favorite
long-sleeve top from the entire sale! It’s
a casual, everyday piece but the twist in the front gives it a little bit of
extra interest. Comes in lots of
different colors and it’s $31.90 during the sale.
I love a good basic long
sleeve tee because they’re perfect for layering. This Caslon Scoop-Neck Tee comes in lots of
colors and patterns and it’s ONLY $15.90, y’all!!!! LOAD UP!!!!
This Halogen Modal tee also comes in lots of different colors and
patterns and it’s only $24.90.
F O U R – Basic Short Sleeve Tee
I actually have this exact short-sleeve tee in black with white stripes that I got from the NSale a couple
of years back and I still wear it all the time.
It comes in lots of patterns and colors and it’s another steal at just $15.90!! And it has held up so well over the years!
F I V E – Leopard Cardigan
I adore a long cardi and I
love leopard, so combining the two is just fabulous. This cardi is a bit more expensive at $45.90 during
the sale, but it’s a good investment piece as long cardigans and leopard appear
to be in it for the long haul.
S I X – Long Cardigan
Everyone is constantly
raving about the Barefoot Dreams Circle Cardigan, but it comes in at $76.90 on
sale, and I’ve just never been able to bring myself to pay that much for a
cardigan. Instead, I’m digging these BP Longline Open Cardigans. Comes in
several different colors and at just $31.90 each, they’re a way more affordable
option than the Barefoot Dreams cardi.
I could sing the praises of
my Zella leggings forever. Yes, I’m a
bargain shopper, but when it comes to leggings, comfort is key and these babies
are worth every single penny. I’ve owned
one pair for the last two years and they are just now starting to show a little
bit of wear… and I wear them and wash them constantly during the winter. The only time I purchase them is when they’re
on sale. The live-in leggings come in
three different colors and are $38.90 each during the sale. I also love these Zella Sunray leggings but
they’re a little more expensive at $42.90.
E I G H T – Cozy Heart Joggers
How freaking cute are these joggers?! Y’all know I’m the queen of
hearts (haha) so these are on my wish list.
They’re $25.90 during the sale and you can also snag the matching cozy top if you want to have the whole set.
N I N E – Basic Two-Way Camisoles
I purchased a couple of
camis similar to these in the sale a couple of years ago and they are still
going strong after two years of use.
They are another perfect layering piece and they’re perfect to wear
under sheer tops. The best part about
these is that they’re reversible… you can wear them as a v-neck or as a scoop
neck. At $20.90 that’s a pretty sweet
deal!
T E N – Seamless Panties
Finally, my favorite panties of all time are included in the sale as well!
These are the most comfortable panties ever – they’re basically like a
second skin – but the best part is that they are not visible under your
clothes. I can wear these under leggings
and – no panty lines! They’re super
expensive (as far as underwear goes) so I only buy these during the sale. You can get 3 pairs for $40 which, yes, is a
lot for underwear, but I promise you they’re worth the money if you’re as picky
about undies as I am. Not to mention the
ones I have are from two years ago and they’re still like new, so they last a
long time! If you wait until after the
sale to purchase, they are $20 PER PAIR so load up while you can. They come in bikini, hipster, and boy shorts
so you can find the version that you love the best!
Now who’s ready to shop?!
And for those of you who came today expecting a weekly recap, it'll be up tomorrow!
