I hope you are all having a great week! We had the most fun last weekend at the Chris Stapleton concert. He put on a great concert! I spent the rest of the weekend doing work in preparation for Prime Day. I'm glad it is over!!
This week we had a fun dinner out with friends and tonight we are celebrating my dad's birthday with another fun dinner out! My dad is the best and easy to celebrate!
We are getting together with family friends this weekend which should also be nice. Lots of fun this week, that's for sure! Then, I'll be gearing up for the lake. I'm so excited to go. I just love a good change of scenery!
This was a fun PR package that I received this week from Inn Beauty. Have you heard of this brand? I've seen it all over social media. Many people compare the Extreme Cream to Augustinus Bader which is why I have been extra intrigued because that is one of my all time favorite face creams and it's horribly expensive. The before and after photos on their website are also intriguing and the reviews (hundreds) are all glowing. I will report back. I used it once last night and I understand why people compare it to Bader just because of the texture. They definitely have similar textures!

Eating: I grabbed a jar of these beautiful olives to bring with me to the lake for my martinis. I'm not going to lie, the label totally got me, but the olives also really do look perfect. I typically buy the fresh olives rather than jarred, but the jar is just easier to transport to the lake. I got the whole olives instead of pitted because I find that if they have their pit intact when jarred, they are usually crisper than pitted. I'll report back once I have tasted them!
Sale: Well, we just finished the Prime Day sales, and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still live, but so much is sold out. I'll drop a big hint here, though. There will be a *very* good sale from a fave brand next week. I will certainly share once it is live, but I know you all will not want to miss it. In the meantime, I thought I would share my active discount codes. I try to get discount codes whenever I can, as I know you all love them, and it's a valuable perk I can pass along to you all!

Watching: The trailer for The Perfect Couple looks SO good. I cannot wait to watch it on Netflix in September. I read the book and loved it!
Listening: Did you guys ever listen to the Podcast, "Scamanda"? I don't listen to many Podcasts but I wanted a Podcast to listen to on my drive down to the lake last year (it's a 9 hour drive) and many of you recommended it. The story is crazily absurd, it's hard to believe this actually happened. Anyway, it turns out, ABC is going to turn it into a docuseries and I will definitely be watching!
As a side note, if any of you want to recommend a long Podcast series, I am all ears as I would love another good one to listen to on the way down to the lake again!
Loving: My favorite monthly calendar is out for 2025 (crazy). It's more of a wall calendar, but I use it like a desk blotter. It's a nice large size with plenty of room to write in each day and I love the right side with a notes section. The designs are pretty, and it's been the calendar I used for the past almost 10 years!
Loving II: These tinted lip oils are wonderful. They're only $10, and with my code SYDNEYCARVER, they come down to $9ish. A great price and the colors are perfect for daily wear. I think Ruby is my favorite but I really like all 3. The texture reminds me a bit of the Merit lip oil if you have ever tried that.
Amazon Rec: I'm all Amazon'd out; how about you? The most random item I purchased on Prime Day...
You can find more of my Amazon favorites, here on my Amazon page where I am constantly updating it with all of my finds and top picks from home, beauty, fashion, and more!
Smelling: The most amazing sunscreen I have ever smelled. My code SUMMERWIND works on this!
Traveling: On Instagram, I mentioned that we are headed to Old Edwards soon and asked everyone to let me know of any food recs. We have been several times now and have always eaten on the resort's property. The food is fabulous there. However, I was wondering if there are any other amazing restaurants we were missing out on in Highlands. Many asked for me to share the responses. Overall, it seems like many of you recommended to stick with the resort as that really is where the best food is. That's what we ended up booking for our dinner again. But here are the top recs:
- Ugly Dog
- Paoletti's
- Lakeside
- Roots and Vine
- Sweet Basil
- Wolfgang's
- Veranda
- Wild Thyme
- Canyon Kitchen- this one is in Cashiers, but I did look it up and it looks divine. I want to do a separate trip to Cashiers!
