Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks Sharing my top picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. Affiliate links are included below – thank you so much for your support.  Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re enjoying the week so far. We’re trying to squeeze out the last bit of summer fun. The kids start school in a couple of weeks and we’re NOT ready. For today’s post, I wanted to share a roundup of picks from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

Do we all need the Spanx faux leather leggings… the ones from 2018… again?? I think no.

Kyoto recap, bamboo forest, and monkey park Sharing the last of my Japan posts! We had the most magical time in Kyoto and I’m excited to share the details with you if you’re considering adding this to your travel list! More posts from our incredible time in Seoul and Tokyo: Seoul recap Korean head spa experience Tokyo recap and why I love Japan and Tokyo eats + gf picks Kyoto recap, bamboo forest, and monkey park So many of our friends had told us to take a bullet train to explore nearby areas while we were in Tokyo. Okinawa, Nara, Kyoto, and Osaka were highly recommended. I think I mentioned in a previous post that I was intimiated by planning this trip, and adding another travel leg felt like a little too much for my brain. One of my friends told us that we’d regret going to Tokyo and not seeing Kyoto, so we decided to make it happen… and it ended up being my personal highlight of the trip. While Tokyo is bustling with bright lights and tall buildings, Kyoto feels like more...
