Best NSale Home Items to Snag for Gifts + $400 Giveaway

I’m back with another Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post but this time, we’re talking about the best NSale home items that you can purchase now and add to your gift closet!  I don’t know about everyone else, but the thought of buying all of my Christmas gifts in November & December makes me cringe.  More importantly, it’s ROUGH on my wallet.  The past few years I’ve kept a list of everyone I shop for on my phone and throughout the year I’ll purchase items when they’re on sale.  I also try and keep a Rubbermaid tote filled with small gifts for those occasions when I forget to look ahead.

Come On Weekend: Summer Shopping & Life Update

Y’all, I’m so excited for it to be Friday mostly because I’ve been looking forward to hitting publish on a life update.  I’ve been in a funk for awhile and finally just gave myself some much needed time to reset.  Extending that little bit of grace to myself has really allowed me to get in some self reflection but also to feel recharged and EXCITED about blogging.  Keep reading for the reason I’m saying ‘come on weekend,’ as well as a fun tea {or wine — no judgement zone hurr!} chat.

4 Things I Learned About Life at Sigma Kappa Convention

Hi friends! Last week I headed to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida for my sorority’s national convention.  This was my first time attending and I was completely unsure of what to expect.  Would I learn a lot? Would I meet people? I’m so happy to share that I’m very glad I went and left the long weekend feeling inspired AF. While I had tons of takeaways from Sigma Kappa convention that were relevant beyond my volunteer role, I wanted to share four that I think all of us can use.
