I think by now most of us know that Summer time means the Nordstrom anniversary sale is near. Every year I start stalking the site and getting my list prepared for what I will very quickly try to snag up before everything I want sells out. 

I'm going to be sharing my top picks from the anniversary sale preview for you today and stay tuned for my top picks in beauty and fashion as well! I'll be working on those for you soon!

Here's the dates for you, so that you can be ready!!

#1. Chelsey Tate - Wildflowers Wall Art - $28.90 (reg. $39.00)

I absolutely love this print and will be picking this up for our home. I have a special appreciate for wildflowers, as growing up the front of our home was covered in them. This belongs in our house.

How cute is this picnic blanket? It comes with a carrying case so you can roll it up and bring it with you on all your adventures. 

#3. Bliss Plush Throw - $24.90 (reg. $39.50)

I have this blanket and it's the coziest blanket ever. I have two of the peach colored ones and one rust and I love them. I bought them last year in the sale and I use them every night without fail on the couch!!! 

 

#4. Peri Home Fringe Pillow $20.90 (reg. $29.99)

I also own this pillow and it's such a cute pillow. I love the fringe!

#5. Serene House Ultrasonic Cool Mist Aromatherapy Diffuser $24.90 (reg. 39.99)

If you're into essential oils like I am, then this is right up your alley. My goal is to have a diffuser in every room and for under $25, you can't beat this one!

I love the look of these diffuser with just the bamboo. It matches our aesthetic so well!

I also have this kettle in pink and it's fab. I use it so much and it looks gorgeous on the kitchen counter. It also has a lovely little jingle when it's finished heating up your water! And it keeps heating it up to keep it warm if you have a terrible memory like I do :)

NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE TRY-ON | Everything Under $100

Beauty Chocolates | Do They Really Get Rid of Wrinkles?

My thirties have been about learning. Learning about what's important to me, learning to take better care of myself both mentally and physically. Taking the time for self-care. Investing in products that make me look better on the outside and in turn, make me feel better on the inside. Self-care for me, starts with skincare. I could have cared less about skincare in my twenties. It wasn't a priority to me. I didn't want to spend the money or time it took to really pamper my skin and take care of it. Now that I'm 33, and all of the damage I did to my skin in my teens and twenties has shown itself, it's been my priority to take care of it the very best I can. Skincare for me has been a journey, because sometimes it can take a while to figure out what reacts well to my skin. I've struggled with cystic acne since I was 13 and I'm sure if you have the same struggle you know how hard it is to find products that actually work. So I've been on a mission, testing out different types of products and ingredients to fight the aging process. I'm going to share one of the most exciting and unique ones I've found so far with you, today and I think you're going to really like it!

When I recently discovered the Ceramiracle Ageless Delight Beauty Chocolate I was so excited to try it. If you know me, you know I am a major sweet tooth. I am a chocoholic. What's special about the Ceramiracle beauty chocolate is that they not only taste delicious if you're in need of a little sweet treat but they actually help to smooth fine lines and wrinkles in 3 weeks. They are also free of preservatives and all major allergens, including milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat and soybeans. I've included some information directly from the website for you as well so you have a better idea of what's in them.  

Each square of our sugar-free organic South American dark chocolate contains a blend of fucoidan-polyphenols and phytoceramides that help to renew your skin from within. Working to improve the skin’s hydration*, this unique chocolate supplement helps to iron out the wrinkles and fine lines*, while delivering a potent dose of antioxidants.

            - Cruelty-free

            - Vegan-friendly

            - 100% Sugar-Free (with xylitol)

            - 70% organic Dark Chocolate

            - Rich in Natural Botanical Antioxidants

            - Helps to Reduce the Appearance of Wrinkles and Fine Lines*

            - Improves Moisture Retention*

            - Helps to Renew Skin's Elasticity*

*Based on a placebo-controlled, double-blind ingredient study conducted with 33 volunteers over a 6 week period.

I love enjoying these beauty chocolates with a cup of tea in the morning. It's my morning routine and it starts my day off great every day because I get to start it off with delicious chocolate and I know it's helping my skin too! 

The chocolates come as a pack of 20 individually wrapped chocolates in a tiffany blue tub and retail for $45. 

If you use SELFCARE at checkout you can get a free mask with every beauty chocolate purchase. Just be sure to add the mask to the cart for the code to work. CLICK HERE to get yours!

I have the mask that you will get for free and I've been trying it out. It's the Ceramiracle First Light The Reboot Mask.  It retails for $59 for 3.5oz. I leave it on for 15 minutes and then remove it with a warm washcloth. When you apply it, it has little beads mixed into the clay that you can see when you spread it out on the skin. It is quite a thick formula, is very easy to remove and feels nice on the skin. It doesn't burn or tingle in any way and left my skin feeling extra clean, super glowy and smooth.

 

Here's some information from the website about the mask.

Our nutrient-rich clay mask has achieved the perfect combination of a multi-step celebrity skincare ritual with a Korean sheet mask twist. We’ve packed in 25% BFE (BioFerment Essence); an active ferment complex made with soothing Korean rice water, anti-aging ginseng and skin balancing mugwort to help gently lift away dead skin cells. Skin plumping ceramides help to fight fine lines and wrinkles while superstar lactic acid aids in overall skin brightening. Rare black volcanic sand works to naturally exfoliate while helping to rid your skin of acne causing bacteria. Ceramiracle’s unique 2-in-1 rejuvenating facial mask softens, smoothes and conditions in one single step. The Reboot Mask formula is vegan and cruelty-free. 

Ceramiracle is a proud PETA-Certified brand. The Reboot Mask is formulated in California and made in Korea.

I like to apply it with a brush after removing my makeup and cleansing my skin. 

I featured these beauty chocolates a while back in my favorites video and I'm now on my second tub. I can see a difference in my skin. I think it's looking more youthful and more radiant and even though it's been 4 months since I had my botox and usually at this time I am itching to get a touch up because my wrinkles on my forehead are in full force, this time around I actually didn't mind pushing my appointment back a few weeks because they're not as noticeable or deep as usual. I don't know if it's a combination of the products I've been applying to my face with the chocolates, or the chocolates alone, but I have definitely seen an improvement in my skin. I will keep taking them as well as the skincare products I'm currently using in my routine and keep you updated.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope you've found this helpful. Let me know if you've tried out these beauty chocolates or the mask and if you liked them. Did you see a difference in your fine line and wrinkles? I'd love to know!
