Hi friends!
It is officially one of the best weeks of summer!!! Karlie and I have a jam packed next few days prepping for the July sale madness that is about to begin and wanting to sign off early this week to enjoy the 4th of July celebrations! I am also hosting 120 people for a party Saturday (eeek!) so my brain is having a hard time shutting off at night lol, but it's summer and I am soaking up every second of the fun, while trying to remain sane.
Thank you for all the love on my Birthday Reflections blog post I shared last week! I received so many kind messages from you guys about how you could relate to so much of what I am personally going through and I think that just validates this is a community I value so much. We are all in a very busy stage with so much life happening before our eyes, someone this weekend referred to it as the sandwich generation. We are smooshed between raising our young kids and also starting to step into a caregiving role for our parents, so life is very very precious right now and it takes a lot of intention to carve out time to take care of yourself along the ride.
Switching topics, let's talk sales. They are coming fast and furious and we are prepping as much as we can. We will send out a few special emails throughout the events so you have all the important info in one place, but here is the rundown:
1. Amazon Prime Day is next week, Tuesday July 8 - Friday July 11th!! This is a mid-year sale and one of the best times of the year to shop deals on Amazon. If you are very on top of your shit, some people even start their holiday shopping. I will be tackling much of the chaos for you, but my advice is to prep your Amazon cart with things on your wish list early. My Amazon Storefront will be updated almost hourly throughout the sale, but tuning into my IG stories and broadcast channel is where you can catch the most timely deals. The hottest items sell out at their deal price, so I also advise you to check out multiple times throughout the sale if you really want to secure a deal.
2. Target Circle Week is running simultaneously from Sunday July 6 - Saturday July 12th! This is a great chance to start to stock up for anything for Back to School (woof I know) and catch deep discounts on wear now clothing.
3. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale only happens once a year and of course is also going on at this same time as the other sales! We are deep into prepping for this for you, but the best categories to shop in my opinion are for baby gear, shoes, new Fall styles and beauty. We will break down all the best deals by category for you. It is confusing because there are 4 different dates you can get access to the sale based on how much you shop with Nordstrom:
Icons aka you are rich and spend $15k+ at Nordstrom/year = July 8th
Ambassadors who spend $5k/year = July 9th
Influencers spend $500/year or you recently opened a cc there = July 10th
Public access = July 12th
We will be creating posts with all of our recommendations by category on my LTK page.
And if this wasn't enough info, here is a short list of this week's brain dump:
-Geometry Towels are currently 35% off with my code ‘EVERYDAYBESTBUY’! This sale only happens 2x a year and is such a good time to stock up for yourself or gifts or if you have been wondering what the hype is about, buy a few to try!
-We host every weekend in the summer because we live on a lake. My favorite Serving Bowl is working overtime right now because it is the GOAT of summer bowls (hard top + nested utensils make it easy for prepping early and bringing to a party). And bonus, it is on sale right now for under $20!! And if you need some summer salad ideas, here is my go to list.
-If you need good beach towels for your kids, I am very impressed with the quality of these and they are a good size for kids. They are also only $7 for a 2 pack right now!!
- I shared these Vuori Kore Shorts for men last week because many of the colors are on sale, which Vuori very rarely puts anything on sale! My husband owns 3 pairs and wears them constantly, he loves the compression liner for comfort.
Let's get into what you may have missed around Everyday Best Buy last week! xoxo Meggie
Anthropologie - last day to get 20% off all Anthro with code ‘ANTHRO20’
Hanna Andersson - last day of the up to 60% off sale
Up to 50% off Sun Squad at Target
20% off baby, toddler and kids dress & shorts from Target
30% off women's dresses, skirts & shorts from Target
Geometry Towels - by far the number one seller last week was Geometry towels! If you have not tried them yet, this is the time! This community goes ham during these events and for good reason. Stock up and save!
Picaridin Spray - this is my favorite low toxic bug spray and it’s on sale! It’s not greasy, is odorless and leaves no residue on clothing etc. We are using this non stop right now being outside everyday and it’s safe to use on kids ages 2 months and older.
Magnetic Figures Travel Toy - these are still on sale and are the perfect little fidget toy for kids when you are on the go! I have mine packed in my busy bag and both my toddler and almost 2 year old are obsessed.
Color Sorting Sensory Toy - this color sensory sorting toy was also a best seller from the busy bag reel we shared and is a great way to keep little hands busy. It comes in a two pack!
Men's Knit Button Down - I just bought another color in this top for my husband because he loves it so much and is wearing it on repeat. He loves how comfortable it is and feels a little more elevated than a basic tee. Available in 4 colors and is only $25!
Clare V Grande Fanny
I got this new bag for my birthday and I am loving it! A bag like this is something I am willing to spend a little more money on because I will use it every single day for years to come. I desperately needed to retire my Lululemon belt bag for something more chic that wouldn't dress down any outfit I was in. I love the size because it can fit all my daily essentials, but isn't bulky at all, it lays very flat against your body.
If you want a similar, but less expensive option, my sister own this style from Quince.
Tubby Todd
Tubby Todd is running it's 3 for $55 sale event right now on skin essentials for kids! Some of my favorite products are included, like the miracle All Over Ointment and their Mineral Sunscreen. It is a great time to stock up. This bundle deal gets you up to 25% off.
Target Skort
Ok I know I have shared this before but I wear it at least once a week and get so many compliments on it! I wore it to the Brewers Game this weekend and got several people asking where it was from. It is honestly perfect for the 4th of July and some of the colors are on sale! We also brought our favorite diaper bag (a Dagne Dover lookalike) and it was so lightweight even loaded with all the snacks and things.
Let's get you up to speed on the latest and greatest roundups, guides and polls!
Retro Boys Swim Trunks
These are hands down my favorite swim trunks for boys and they just dropped these new adorable retro styles! I will never buy another style for my boys. Here are all the reasons I love this brand:
-Good prints in very comfortable fabric
-A cute above the knee length
-A compression liner instead of mesh = no chafing
-Functional drawstring and pockets
Available in sizes 2T to 16 years, size down they run a bit big! Watch the reel here.
