The biggest sale of the year has been open for a week now, to different access levels. When I tried to shop on Friday and Saturday, a ton of things were already sold out. Or not available to do a store pickup. So, I shipped the items that were only available online, and picked up the rest. When I did an in store pick up, I browsed around the store to see what things said Sold Out online and found them in store.
If there’s something you absolutely love, you can add it to your wish list. And when you can shop, try to put it in your cart to check out. If you live close enough to do an in store pick up, I highly suggest that. Because it is much easier and they can even bring the items out to you very quickly and socially distant.

Now that that’s out of the way, I wanted to share a few things I’ve picked up, and so far am loving!
I have been sticking to my wishlist and not buying more than I need or different things just because. Especially this year. It’s important to be really intentional with where money and energy is going, at least for me. I tend to have an addictive personality. So I enjoy shopping to shop or when I’m emotional or overwhelmed. HELLO 2020 🙁
As things start to come in more, I will be updating this post. As well as maybe a hit and miss list.
The first thing I was determined to find was this Leith dress. And so much so that I completely forgot I added it to my pick up order, and bought the last size in store. But I’d say its true to size. It’s a bodycon dress, and comes in black and white. This one shows sold out online. But you may be able to find a size or two in your local store.
Next, I found 2 pairs of leggings. One I added to my cart and they cancelled. And the other I forgot to add to my cart. The water color pair, or even tie dye if you will, was cancelled but I found a bigger size in store. I grabbed them. I also grabbed the zebra stripe looking pair in store because they had my normal size of a Medium. The white Sweaty Betty top was in my pick up order, and I ordered a Medium as it was slightly cropped.
The Large, which I grabbed to try of the tie dye/watercolor leggings have to go back. They are really baggy in the crotch area, and won’t stay up now and later when I continue to drop fat and add more muscle.
The zebra stripe pair are absolutely perfect fitting, and so soft! Zella is one of my favorite activewear brands because they fit me so well!
The next things I picked up were beauty.
I always see so many influencers working with Tula Skincare and I kind of brushed them off. When I saw them on the Nordstrom Sale, I figured now was the perfect time to give them a try. And you also get a few free Tula gifts when you grab this little kit.
**Little tip I learned when I was shopping in store:
The beauty department oftentimes will mark their products as sold out if it’s been selling like crazy. They do this to “catch up” with the orders already placed, and for the people shopping in store. This is a case where you could come back the next day and add to your cart, or if you are already headed in for a pick up like me, take a look. The location I went to had so many in stock and they were still unboxing a ton of product so I imagine things that “sold out” may actually come back.**
I will tell you, some of my Instagram followers requested more skincare from me, so I thought this would be a good place to start!
I used the cleanser and I’m a big person on smells, so for me, I don’t love the smell that it gives. But I ran out of my other cleanser I was using, so it’s perfect timing to actually try it more than a day. I will keep you posted on that, but first thoughts are the smell isn’t for me.
Now, the toner, I’m really liking! Maybe it’s because I used it right after the cleanser and it neutralized the smell? I added a bit to the tips of my index and middle finger and spread it all around my face. It seemed to do the job and allow me a purified base to apply the rest of my products. **The toner was one of the little gifts received with the purchase of the kit.**
More to come on this one!
The last thing I picked up was the 3 pack of the full sized Kopari natural deodorant. I’ve been using Native and making my own natural deodorant for a long time, and actually got the Kopari set in last year’s Nordstrom Sale and loved it. I alternate between the Native and the Kopari and it works well for me in the scorching heat of Arizona!
This kit had 2 of the ones I’ve already tried and love – the coconut oil – and has a new one – CBD infused. Now, I haven’t really hopped on the CBD trend yet, I use Copaiba which I have done more research on, but I’m curious to see how this one works. This will be a follow up as well!
These are all the things for now, but I’ve got a few more that are supposed to be delivered this week, so hopefully, it will turn into the hit and misses because I then can give you the feedback I want instead of this is good, or this isn’t, etc. Stay tuned!
