Nordstrom Anniversary Sale | What You Need to Know

It's the most wonderful time of the YEAR!! Aka it's almost time for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! I always look forward to the NSale every year. There are so many great deals, and it's also fun to check out the new arrivals for the fall season (although let's be honest, we don't really get to wear too many cute fall clothes here in LA).

The NSale can be very overwhelming. So many people are posting about it, there is definitely a lot of information that gets posted before and during the sale. I want to make this process as easy and seamless as possible for you. Thankfully, Nordstrom is giving us a major heads up with the sale this year (which I will outline below). 

I know that COVID-19 has impacted so many people and that a lot of people have been laid-off or furloughed due to the pandemic. I in no way shape or form want to come across as pushing product at you begging you to purchase it. I am doing this more as a way to help you navigate the sale, if you are shopping it this year. Also, I like to curate wish lists for myself, and this is a central place I can keep them.

So this is super exciting....everyone is getting a preview of the sale starting JULY 24! In years past, they would do a catalog where you could see some of the items that will be a part of the sale. This time around, you have a big heads up as to what's going to be on sale. Because of this, you will be able to save items you like to your favorites and wishlist on your Nordstrom account.

If you have a Nordstrom Card, you will get early access (wohoo!!). If you don't have a Nordstrom card, you can sign up here.

If you do have a Nordstrom Card, log into your Nordstrom account and go to "My Account" and select "Nordy Club" and it will let you know what cardmember level you are at.

If you do not have a Nordstrom Card, the sale will be open to everyone on August 19! The sale is a little later this year, which definitely helps you plan and prepare for your purchases.

Follow along here on my blog as well as on my Instagram to see my picks from the sale.

2020 Resolutions

Somehow, 2019 is almost over. In the past I have created resolutions but never really wrote them down, just kind of tried to keep them in my head which if we’re being honest, doesn’t work well. I’m at the point in my life where I have some things I know I want to/need to change. I want this new year to be different, which is why I am sharing some of my resolutions with you all.

In 2020, I am really prioritizing wellness. The past few years have been a little crazy and I have really let myself slip when it comes to my overall wellness. I haven’t been eating the best, I have not been working out like I should, and really just have not been taking care of myself like I should be. I have decided to change that in 2020. Below, I have listed out my resolutions for 2020.

-Drink more water: I recently purchased a hydro flask and that is definitely helping with my daily water intake, but let’s be honest…I’m still not drinking enough water. My goal is to drink at least 80 ounces of water a day.

-Work out 3 times a week: An area I have majorly slacked off in the last couple years. I have been wanting to change this but honestly with the move this past year, it took me a long time to get back into a normal routine and we didn’t even unwrap our Peloton until last month (we moved to LA in the beginning of July…). So, in 2020 I want to work out at least 3 times a week between our gym membership and our Peloton (hoping for more but I’m setting the bar at 3).

-Meditate 3 times a week: In an effort to really put myself and my wellness first, I have decided to try out meditating. I’ve heard so many good things about meditating, so I have downloaded the Headspace app and cannot wait to get started.

-Get back into yoga: End of 2018/beginning of 2019, I started going to CorePower Yoga classes as well as doing yoga classes through our Peloton. I really enjoyed yoga and I want to get back into a normal yoga routine in 2020.

-Truly learn how to surf: Vince and I took a surfing lesson in September and I absolutely fell in love with surfing. This year I really want to take time to get back out in the water and get better at surfing.

-Create and maintain a healthy sleep schedule: Oh boy. I’m slowly getting there with this one, but I need to be better about it. All through college and the first few years of my twenties, I could function on a few hours of sleep and be completely fine. Now, not so much. I am learning that I really need my 8 hours of sleep.

-Cook More/eat mainly Mediterranean: This past year I start to cook more and I am really enjoying it! However, it’s time to start branching out in what I cook. Also, Vince and I are really putting an effort into eating healthy starting in 2020, and we have decided to go with a Mediterranean diet. I’ve already been pinning a ton of recipes and I am really excited about it.

-Blog twice a week: In the past I have set larger goals of blogging 5 times a week, but let’s be honest. My blog is not my full-time job. This is simply a hobby and while I would love to be able to produce 5 new blog posts a week, my full-time job is something that I am very passionate about and my main focus is on that. I will definitely try to put out more than 2 posts a week, but I think for now 2 posts a week is a very attainable goal.

-Read 20 books: For the first time since I was a child, I am not studying for anything which means that I actually have time to read! I’ve already started on my first fiction book and I am really excited about working my way through my list of books.

-Get my finances in order: Now that I am settled in my new job, it is high time that I actually get my finances in order. It’s time to start saving for big life goals that we have as well as a solid emergency fund. This is actually a goal that I am super excited about.

-Grow and maintain a garden: I want to be able to walk outside, grab vegetables from my garden, and make dinner with them. Let’s see if I can actually keep plants alive.

-Put more effort into my outfits: I’ve gotten a little lazy with putting outfits together and this year I want to change that. I’m looking forward into actually planning outfits and putting together looks I love.

What are your goals and resolutions for 2020?!
