Shop Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
With the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale beginning today, today’s post is about the best items to shop for. In the same fashion, I will let you know how to navigate this sale.
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Dates
For many of you, you may have received an Early Access date. With the Early Access date, you can shop before the sale is open to the public. In addition, you can shop in the stores or on-line.
The Anniversary Early Access date is July 13th and will last until July 20th. The sale opens to the public on July 21st and will last until August 8th.
How to Shop Early
So, if you want to shop early, you need to have a Nordstrom credit card. In the same fashion, the great thing about having a Nordstrom Visa is you get points that earn Nordstrom Notes.
Since there are many special events throughout the calendar year, you can earn double and triple points. By using your Nordstorm Visa card in the store, on-line, Hautelook and Trunk Club, you earn 2 points per dollar spent.
If you don’t have a Nordstrom credit card or want one, you will have to wait until the sale opens to the public. Or you can try to shop with someone who has a Nordstrom credit card.
Navigating the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale
If you’re like me, you have already started planning what items you are going to buy. At the same time, I have already folded back pages in my catalog that I’m on the hunt for.
So, every year, my friend, Rose and I make a day of this. Because we have already perused the catalog, we have an idea of items we’re on the hunt for. In addition, many items don’t make it into the catalog and can be found only on-line. Also, there are many other items in the store that aren’t in the catalog.
Since, I cannot resist a great sale, I’m excited to start shopping.
Conclusion
To sum up, I’m off to meet Rose for a day of shopping and lunch. I will let you know my favorite items later. At the same time, be on the lookout for my follow-up post that will have the best items for you to shop. Because many items sell out quickly, I recommend shopping early.
Will you be shopping the Nordstrom Anniversary sale? What are you looking to buy? As always, I welcome your comments.

Best Summer Skin Protection Secrets
Since the sun can do serious damage, today’s post is about the best Summer skin protection secrets. So, has someone kept something from you that you should know about. You may have heard it countless times, but protecting your skin is a must.
Skin Protection Secrets
In the first place, let’s get started with the basics. It is important to check the expiration on any skin care product you purchase. In the same way, any SPF product should be good for approximately three years. After that time, you should toss it.
When going outside, make sure you apply an SPF of 30 or more. At the same time, you should do this approximately 30 minutes before heading outdoors. When applying sunscreen, make sure you use enough to cover any part of your face and body that will be getting sun exposure. Hence, you want to reapply lotion every couple of hours throughout the day. Don’t be stingy about this – the more you apply, the better your skin will be protected.
Best Skin Protection Secrets
For me, the best secret I want to share with you is keep your SPF lotion nearby. A good tip is to keep it near your toothbrush. Of course, you brush your teeth regularly. Now with the lotion in front of you, you won’t forget to apply it.
When applying lotion, think about those areas often overlooked. Some of the most overlooked areas are behind the ears, in-between your toes and fingers and along your hairline. If you don’t want wrinkles and brown spots, make sure you apply lotion everywhere.
At the same time, it is important to go in circular motion when applying your lotion. Make sure your lotion is rubbed in and you continue to reapply throughout the day. In addition to wearing sunscreen, it is important to wear protective clothing. Also, wearing polarized sunglasses helps protect your eyes.
Shop Skin Protection Products
Since you should use an SPF 30 or higher, below is a an organic sunscreen cream. It is a broad spectrum protection that helps protect you from UVA and UVB rays. Also, the product contains Zinc Oxide, Sunflower oil, Beeswax, and Vitamin E which is moisturizing and safe for sensitive skin.
Also, the product below by Hawaiian Tropic is a sheer UVA/UVB lotion that leaves your skin soft and protected.
So, now you have your lotion. Because I love the cute hoodie dress below, I couldn’t resist sharing it with you. Not only is this a super cute style to wear, but it also features Zinc Oxide particle embedded into the fabric. Not only will you be comfortable in the style below, but your skin will be protected from harmful ultraviolet rays.
Conclusion
Of course, you can still enjoy the sun this Summer. In conclusion, it is important to have your skin protected.
As always, I welcome your comments.

Best Ways To Stay Cool This Summer
So, if you’re like me, you’re looking to stay cool this Summer. Today’s post is some tips for staying comfortable during those humid and hot days.
Stay Cool – Outside
Since many of us struggle during the humid days and nights, there are a few things we can do to stay cool. Indeed, humid days can affect anyone.
In the first place, if you’re planning to be outside for long periods of time, wear comfortable clothes. When you’re wearing looser clothes, you’re apt to feel much cooler than wearing body fitting styles. Also, I suggest wearing lighter colors. I always find when I wear black, I feel much warmer.
If you’re planning to exercise outside, visit my prior post for tips. Take advantage of exercising early in the morning or later in the evening. At the same time, any type of water sport is a great way to stay cool while getting exercise.
In the same way, make sure you stay hydrated. By keeping cold water nearby, you will keep your body refreshed. I also keep small Evian spray cans in my handbag. The Evian facial spray is a great way to keep your skin hydrated. In addition, this is the perfect accessory for your handbag, gym bag or travel plans. I find every time I’m on an airplane, I’m constantly using my Evian spray.
Another tip is to keep your bottle of water or drink on ice before heading outside. If you have a small ice pack, place it in a small cooler bag. Moreover, the thermal insulated Cooler Bag Handbag is a great accessory to keep your lunch or snacks cool.
Stay Cool – Indoors
If you don’t have air conditioning in your home, plan to go somewhere that you can get relief. By the same token, you can always go to a Museum, Shopping Mall or Theatre.
Since I have central air conditioning, I enjoy spending a lot of time inside. It is important to keep your bedroom cool during sleeping hours. Because I like it cold, I keep my temperature at 60 – 62 degree Fahrenheit for the Summer season.
In addition to my Home’s central air conditioner system, my Husband bought me a bed jet. Bed jet was introduced on Shark Tank and I immediately knew this was something I needed. For anyone who gets hot flashes, or their body temperature is cold, the bed jet has dual settings. For me, the temperature controls help keep me cool all night long.
Conclusion
When temperatures rise this Summer, you can stay cool following some of my suggestions above.
As always, I welcome your comments.
