HEYYYYY OH! Welcome to the weeeeeeekeeeeend! Here in CT it is supposed to be a beautiful (unlike the rainy weekend we had while camping in NH haha figures). I feel like this week FLEW BY, but maybe that’s just summer in general. I want to share with you a quick round-up of some great sales to check out, an easy weekend meal and drink recipe, a quick read, and more! If you like this, let me know and we can make it a regular thing 🙂
READ
I just read The Moonlight Child and love it! It’s the perfect short weekend read and is free on Amazon Prime Reading.
MOVE
If you are looking for an excuse to get outside, try this interval workout I posted here. It’s perfect for alternating between a walk and a jog, or even a jog and run.
I recommend using an interval timer app so you don’t have to keep checking your time. I use one called interval timer, but there are plenty of free options, and in the advanced settings, you can get really specific with the different time lengths and tones to cue you as you go.
EAT
This chicken gyro with tzatziki sauce is always a hit! It’s a pretty simple recipe, perfect for entertaining, and is an absolute flavor bomb!!
DRINK
This tequila and grapefruit drink from Bon Appetit sounds like the perfect refreshing summer sip!
CURRENTLY LOVING…
…BEAUTY
I shared in stories about this eyelash serum I have been using for about six weeks now. I put on my mascara the other day and was like HOLY LASHES WHERE DID THESE COME FROM??!!! Seriously. I have never had long luscious lashes so this is a huge improvement. These babies literally touch my brow bone! I also feel like they are thickening out – which I could also really use. The first few times I used it, I was applying it to my lashes not the skin of my lash line. Not only is that totally the wrong way to use it but my eyes were getting very irritated. Sharing my faux pas with ya so you don’t make the same mistake LOL.
FYI, I heard about this serum from my friend. The girl who did her lash extensions recommended it as a product to strengthen her lashes from the wear and tear of keeping extensions on. That makes a ton of sense because this serum helps grow but also nourishes your lashes!
You are supposed to use it daily for three months to achieve max results and then occasionally as maintenance. Compared to other serums, this one is really affordable. It also lasts forever!
…HOME
I am mildly obsessed with East Coast Scent Co candles. They smell ahhhhhmazing. Coming from someone who typically is not a candle/scent person this means a lot haha. I love the vintage boho aesthetic too! She has so many summer and citrusy scents – it’s almost impossible to choose a fave.
I’m super excited that I can now share a discount code with you. Use RAE20 at checkout to get 20% off!
…STYLE
If I had to chose one item of clothing to wear it just might be a white tee or tank. This one from Everlane is such great quality, organic cotton, and under $20!
I LOVE the way it’s cut at the shoulders. I think it is such a flattering and feminine detail to have on a basic top. Runs true to size. I highly recommend adding it to your summer wardrobe!
SHOP
There are a ton of great sales happening this weekend, but here are a few you don’t want to miss!
EVERLANE is one of my favorite places to shop for sustainable clothing and everyday basics. They are having a 60% summer styles sale YOU DONT WANT TO MISS! For example, this organic cotton boxy raglan t-shirt I posted today is from there is on sale for $10 (TEN DOLLARS!!!!). I have found their clothing to fit true to size.
NORDSTROM is having its anniversary sale. Depending on what tier you are in with their rewards you get to shop at different times. It opens to everyone on the 28th, but it’s worth checking out some of their deals now! If you can’t shop it, save the items to your wish list for easy shopping later.
AERIE has a sale on their amazing offline collection – including their crossover leggings. Every review says they are the most flattering and comfortable leggings. Definitely on my wish list!!
ABERCROMBIE has been my go-to for all things denim and loungewear lately. You can’t go wrong with anything from their 96 Hour Collection, and while I love their classic denim, the curve love collection is amazing!
TARGET has some of the most affordable home finds and so many things are 25% off right now.
MADEWELL is having the best sale on sale right now! You can get an extra 30% off so many sale styles!
