Friday Finds

July 17, 2026 by Courtney Leave a Comment

Good morning. My to-do list is lengthy today so I’m hoping for a productive day. How was your week? These weeks are going by too quickly. We are loving our summer rhythm and not ready for it to switch up again. I’ve been having so much fun chatting with many of you who are about to send babies off to school. My heart is with you when it’s your first one. I understand all of the feelings. But I promise, the relationships only get better. Sharing a few things that are worth noting (most on sale).

HUGE SALE

These comfy slippers are 60% off and great for anyone. I bought a pair for Riley because she says her feet are always cold in the dorm room. These will be perfect and the price is spot on.

Riley requested these this year and likes them because they don’t slip in the shower. They are not bulky and get the job done.

This cosmetic bag is a 10/10. I have it in brown and LOVE it. It’s ideal for travel because it holds so much and opens flat. Riley is excited to use it this year because it doesn’t take up too much space but holds everything. There are many color options. We both have it in the medium size (plenty big).

SATIN PILLOWCASE

This pillowcase is now $15! A great item for the dorm room and for home. We love to give these as gifts. If you know someone going off to college, this is a great thing to give them. Easy to wrap and tie with a pretty bow.

THE PASTE YOU DID’NT KNOW YOU NEEDED

Do you have this??? It’s incredible. We had so many silver marks on our white bowls and this erased them!!! They look like new and I’m so excited.

NOW UNDER $100

walking pad

What???? My walking pad is now under $100. That is incredible. Listen, this is not your state of the art treadmill, it’s a simple walking pad (that has an incline if desired) but it gets the job done and I LOVE it. I have used my walking pad every day for the last two years. This one has a bar which is nice for stability. I am 5’7″ and the bar is a bit low but it’s only necessary if you might lose your balance. It’s not something you hold onto while you walk. I am team walking pad for life now. If you have any questions let me know but $99 is a great deal. It’s been amazing for not only my health but just my overall demeanor. Starting the day with steps feels so good (and you can do it in pajamas).

*Those white Adirondack chairs you can see in the windows have been such a wonderful addition to our home. We sit in them every day.

The carafes I have are on sale. These are great and hold more than you would think. I also love to fill them with water and place on the table during dinner. Everyone can help themselves to more water. Especially great when you are entertaining.

PURCHASED FROM NORDSTROM

I didn’t buy much from the Nordstrom sale but I’m really excited about the few things I did scoop up. First and foremost, fresh makeup brushes. These are the only ones I use and it’s wonderful to grab them on sale.

I’m also excited for these!! I don’t have any dressy booties like this and I know they will be beautiful for fall and winter. They come in a few colors. I went with the chocolate brown suede.

Long coats are my favorite and I don’t have anything like this. These coats instantly elevate a simple t-shirt and jeans. Also pretty when you dress up. It looks so good with a button down and denim. I bought this in the “Forest Black Mini” so it will go with both black and brown.

FOR RILEY

This is the denim jacket I bought for Riley (it’s darker in person). She’s excited to take this back to school with her. A classic denim jacket is always a good idea.

SO GORGEOUS

My friend wore these out the other night and they are SO PRETTY. This slate blue is a limited edition and I had to share. Swooning over these. If you love cowboy boots, these are the ones I always recommend. Riley has a pair of ivory ones and she adores them.

Headed to pick up crown molding today. We need it for the laundry room project before we move forward with more cabinets. If you missed it, I shared a project update in this post.

July 13, 2026 by Courtney 1 Comment
