Best of President's Day Sales! — Sheaffer Told Me To

Happy Monday, friends! Welcome to a new week!

I hope you were able to enjoy a long weekend with family and friends. We headed to the ranch and had a great time. It’s our favorite place to be, and even though we just left this morning, we’re already planning a trip back in a couple of weeks!

But today, today we are talking SALES! It wouldn’t be a holiday weekend without a ton of great deals, and I’ve picked out some of my favorites for y’all today! I’m highlighting things today from Nordstrom, Colleen Rothschild (there’s a BUY MORE, SAVE MORE SALE), Old Navy, Walmart, Loft, and J Crew Factory.

Here are some faves…

1) pink bag / 2) CR hair kit / 3) sweater / 4)floral blouse / 5) CR Glycolic Acid Peel Pads / 6) CR Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream / 7) Dyson V8 / 8) mini Uggs / 9) Hanky Panky 3 pack / 10) smocked sundress / 11) flutter sleeve dress / 12) flutter sleeve blouse / 13) fleece jacket / 14) pajamas

1) pink bag / Are you looking to add a fun pop of color to your spring and summer outfits? I have just the bag for you!

2) CR hair kit / Y’all know I’ve been screaming and shouting about my love for Colleen Rothschild skincare for almost 10 years now. When she introduced hair care products several years ago, I couldn’t wait to try them because I figured I would love them too. I WAS RIGHT. The CR hair care products are phenomenal. THEY WILL CHANGE YOUR HAIR. It will feel softer, it will look shinier, and it will actually be healthier as well! This kit is the perfect way to try out all of the individual hair care products to find your favorites. And if you travel a lot, these are the perfect travel sizes.

3) sweater / I’m loving this long sleeve sweater in a beautiful spring color! Use the code SALE30 to get 30% OFF. Check out everything in the Social Threads 30% OFF sale HERE.

4) floral blouse / The colors, the floral pattern, the sleeves, the smocked back, and the overall fit… I love it all!

5) CR Glycolic Acid Peel Pads / These pads have 334 reviews and look how many of them are 5 STARS! WOW. People absolutely swear by these pads. They will change the texture of your face. (See below for more info.)

6) CR Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream / This product went viral right after it was introduced, and it’s sold out several times since then. Why is it so popular? Because it’s incredible. (See below for more info.)

7) Dyson V8 / This is the first Dyson we ever got AND WE LOVED IT. We still love it all these years later, but when we graduated to the V12 at our home in McKinney, we took the V8 to the family ranch house. It still runs perfectly and we have ZERO complaints. If you don’t have a Dyson, change that today!

8) mini Uggs / These babies are 40% OFF! They have excellent reviews, and they seem to be well stocked.

9) Hanky Panky 3 pack / The only thongs I wear, and the original rise that are linked are my favorites.

10) smocked sundress / This sundress has beautiful colors, a whimsical pattern, and a smocked (and forgiving) bodice. The side slit adds some sass. This is a perfect vacation dress.

11) flutter sleeve dress / My goodness I love a flutter sleeve. They’re just so feminine and pretty. This dress will be great on its own, and you can style it several different ways. Pair it with dainty jewelry and heels for a dressy look, or throw on a denim jacket and sneakers for a casual look.

12) flutter sleeve blouse / This amber color is gorgeous and will look so pretty on tanned skin. I’ll be wearing this with denim shorts casually, and it will also look awesome dressed up a bit with white jeans and wedges!

13) fleece jacket / This jacket is 30% OFF and DARLING. The end.

14) pajamas / I love these pajamas, but you need to move on them if you want them. Only 2 sizes are left, so don’t delay!

Out of all of the products in the Colleen Rothschild line, the Cleansing Balm is my favorite product by far. It totally changes the taking off your makeup game, and I’m telling you, you won’t even dread washing your face at night. I KNOW. That’s a big claim, but I stand behind it.

This balm truly has a cult following. For those of you that haven’t tried it yet, it’s different than any other cleanser I’ve ever used. First of all, I apply it to a dry face. I scoop out a small amount of the balm with dry hands and slather it on to my dry face. As I rub it on my face, the heat from my hands changes the balm into more of an oily texture and it just feels incredibly luxurious. It melts my makeup away, leaves my skin feeling amazing and hydrated, and the light citrus smell is PERFECT. And it’s so gentle that you can even open your eyes as you are using it! A muslin cleansing cloth comes with it that is made with 100% cotton that gently exfoliates while you’re cleansing. It’s incredible. I just pop my cloth in the wash every several days. And listen, if you’re concerned about the price, don’t be. This tub will last you around 9 months!

After cleansing my face, I use the peel pads. I’ve been using the Glycolic Acid Peel Pads for several years now, and I absolutely swear by them. After adding them to my weekly routine years ago, I’ve never looked back. So, what are they? Remember the Stridex pads we all used as teenagers? Well, these are the new and much improved version! While the Stridex pads were salicylic acid and more of an acne treatment, the CR pads are glycolic and lactic acid, both used for cell turnover. AND I NEED ALL THE HELP WITH CELL TURNOVER THAT I CAN GET. #turnoverthosecellsbaby These pads boast a spa-strength treatment formula that helps to help dissolve skin-clogging dirt and debris. And listen to this… your skin’s natural renewal process will be enhanced as a result of the 10 percent blend of The Glycolic and Lactic Acids in the pads. The pads target fine lines, hyperpigmentation and imperfections and will reveal a fresher, brighter, more even complexion. YES, PLEASE!

I’m ALL ABOUT brighter skin and these pads really deliver. They are large, so I sweep the pad all over my face, neck, and chest after cleansing. There are 60 pads per order, so the jar lasts me 2 months. (I used to use a pad every 3-4 days, but I bumped up to using them every other day! I notice such a difference that I just want to always be using them.)

The Face Oil #9 used to be too much for my skin, but now I can’t imagine it not being a part of my nightly routine. Colleen touts it as the ultimate in skin luxury, and I have to agree. It improves radiance. RADIANCE! Who doesn’t want to increase their radiance?!?

And during the months when my skin is extra dry, I use it in the morning as well. I just mix it with my moisturizer and my skin absolutely drinks it up. YOU WILL LOVE IT.

I’m excited to tell y’all that my favorite eye cream is BACK IN STOCK, but there are LIMITED QUANITITIES right now. This eye cream is a true viral sensation and they are having a heck of a time keeping it in stock.

This was my personal #1 find for the month when I first used it back in March, and it’s actually in my Top 3 finds for the entire year! It was in y’alls Top 5 for 3 months earlier this year, and now it’s back in the top again!

YES, IT’S REALLY THAT GOOD.

Illuminating Tinted Eye Cream

It makes my under-eye area appear brighter, more radiant, and more youthful. TRULY! The formula specifically targets common concerns of tired and dull eyes, such as under-eye darkness, fine lines, dryness, and puffiness.

Here’s what’s in it and what it does:

Hyaluronic acid: helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Caffeine: targets puffiness and water retention.
Pearlized pigments provide an instant brightening effect and create a radiant, glowing appearance.
Peach coloring pigments neutralize blue undertones, helping to balance out skin tone and create a more even appearance.
Peptites help smooth texture.

It’s really hard to capture how awesome the eye cream is in a picture, so you’re going to need to trust me. You can use it on its own on a fresh-faced day, but it also functions beautifully under makeup. I’m telling you, this eye cream is going to WOW you.

And just FYI: I don’t like concealer and never use it, but I think this eye cream not only does the job of an eye cream, but it also functions a bit like a concealer does. Here’s the difference though: it doesn’t settle into lines or crepiness (which is why I don’t like or wear concealer).

I obviously highly recommend this product. Like I said before, IT WILL WOW YOU.

The Vitamin C Brightening Serum combines two skin-care superstars, 15% stabilized Vitamin C (THD Ascorbate) and the workhorse antioxidant Niacinamide. The synergistic blend helps improve the appearance of dark spots, smooth uneven skin texture, brighten dullness and defend against the impact of environmental aggressors. Over time skin appears radiant luminous, and healthy. This is one of the newest products I’ve added to my routine, and I think it’s great. I put it on after a serum and before my moisturizer.

My mom turned me on to the Age Renewal Super Serum. It’s her favorite CR product, and she uses a ton of them. She swears that the deep smile lines she has on each side of her face have been greatly reduced. She said she can still see them, but she can’t feel them like she used to. (She says she used to run her fingers over her face while watching t.v. and she could feel them. But not anymore!) She used to not bat an eye at spending serious bucks on skincare. Like, SERIOUS bucks. She felt like her skin was important and it was worth the money to take care of it. However, after my dad retired, she started to become more cautious about the money she was spending, and she was disappointed that her skin wasn’t looking as great as it had in the past. Enter, Colleen.

The Micro Mineral Resurfacing Scrub is my very favorite mask to use. Whenever my skin is feeling dull or lackluster, I use this scrub to wake up my face and really brighten it right on up. After using it, my skin is SO SOFT and it truly does look healthier and more glowy. It refines texture, helps reduce clogged pores and brightens dull complexions by buffing away dead skin cells using the power of ultra-fine crystals.

I don’t like to spend a lot of time or money on expensive spa treatments, but this scrub is like an at home alternative to professional microdermabrasian treatment.

Do you see the rose quartz pieces below? When I rub the scrub on my face, it feels like very very fine sand. It gently (but efficiently!) exfoliates and reveals newer and fresher skin. IT’S AN INCREDIBLE PRODUCT.

And y’all. DO NOT SLEEP on the hair products. They are phenomenal.

The CR products revived my mom’s skin several years ago, and now she credits the hair products for changing her hair too! She says her hair was starting to look dry and old, but not anymore!!!!

I’ve never really battled super dry or brittle hair; however, after having Carter my hair did change a bit and was not nearly as shiny or healthy as I felt it had been pre-pregnancy. It was then that I ditched the drugstore shampoo and conditioner that I’d been using my entire life (with no problems at all), and I started investing in better products for my hair. The beauty store products I started using back then definitely helped, and I was happy with my hair. I definitely thought they were worth the higher price because hair is important to me, y’all. Haha!

I love all the hair products except one. I just don’t love the shampoo. I know others that do love the shampoo, but I personally prefer a shampoo I’ve been using for a while now over the CR shampoo. Not pictured here, but I’m also a huge fan of the Quench and Shine Restorative Mask and the Replenish and Shine Daily Conditioner. They are only the conditioners I’ve used for a couple of years now. I even travel with them because I don’t like the way my hair feels or looks if I have to use something else.

So I use every single Colleen hair product (except for the shampoo), and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them all.

The SMOOTH & SHINE HAIR SERUM (on the left) helps banish frizz, tame flyaways and quench dry ends with the light-weight, transformative power of Cotton Seed Oil. Essential nutrients from Neem Oil and Hibiscus Oil help strengthen, protect and nourish hair so that it feels soft and looks amazing! When I asked my mom how often she uses the serum, she said “I use the serum alllllllllllllllllll the time.” When I asked her if she used it on damp hair or dry hair, she said “YES TO BOTH”! Haha! She uses it on both damp hair AND dry hair. Like me, she uses it on her damp hair before drying it, but she also uses it on her dry hair after styling it. I wash my hair every couple of days, and my favorite way to use the serum is to run it through my hair AFTER I’ve styled my hair with my rollers and /or a curling iron. It smells great, it tames fly aways, and it adds SO MUCH SHINE! My mom said after getting older, she now washes her hair much less frequently than she used to have to, but she says “the serum livens my hair up between washings and gives it the sheen that it needs.” But yes, she also works a little bit through her damp hair before she dries it with her hair dryer.

The Protect and Perfect Styling Cream (on the right) is what I apply to my damp hair right before drying it. It’s a heat protectant, it smooths, and it also aids in taming flyaways.

And y’all, I just started using the BRAND NEW Gentle and Clear Skincare Set. that just launched, and so far I’m loving it! I will report back with specific reviews on each of the products after using it for several more weeks, but my initial thoughts are that it’s awesome.

I’m thinking this set is going to be perfect for Carter. He’s actually good about taking care of his skin and uses CR products from the Exploration Collection right now, but I think this set is even a better fit for him.

FOR BLEMISH-PRONE, SENSITIVE, & REACTIVE SKIN
