One more August fave for the night that has been a game-changer for my arms (and is pricey but currently 20% off on Bluemercury, so a good time to snag): The U Beauty Sculpt Arm Compound. It has visibly reduced crepiness around my loose skin and improved elasticity. I wanted to not like it because of the price (but again, 🗣️20% off now!🗣️)… but it worked SO well for me that I already know I’ll be buying more.

Their Super Hydrator and retinol eye cream are also good; linked those here too!

Love the canvas totes from Alex Mill. It’s a really sturdy tote that can sit up on its own, and they have a lot of new colors and sizes on their website. This is the Weekday size.

Love my mini Longchamp bag that I’ve had for a while, and I discovered (kind of accidentally) that it’s 25% off now at Nordstrom Rack. A great smaller shoulder bag that I always get compliments on!

These @crocs slippers are Rebecca-approved! Lightweight just like regular Crocs, but warmer and lined. Size up if you normally wear a half-size.

🗣️ I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING EVERYONE TO TRY THIS TOAST SUGAR 🗣️ Portland Toast Sugar might be more than an August favorite: It may be my August (and September, and probably October) obsession.

[In my best Stefon from SNL voice] It goes with everything: toast/English muffins, lattes, oatmeal, yogurt, cake/bread/cookie/muffin mixes… the options are endless.

I WILL be gifting these to friends and family for the holidays, but you don’t have to wait til then — it’s perfect for cozy season. And the best part? You’re supporting a small business!

I’ve dealt with some cystic acne breakouts over the past month, and these little under $10 pimple patches are what I’ve been swearing by. They’re nearly invisible and actually STAY ON, even through showers and face washes — no more wasting pimple patches that slide right off the second they come into contact with moisture. These also contain salicylic acid, so they don’t just conceal pimples, but actually shrink them too.

#LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

My favorite travel steamer! It’s compact, lightweight, dual voltage, and has a long life (especially for the price). This has become a travel essential for me.

#LTKTravel

This Lume Acidified Body Wash is another August favorite — it is without question THE BEST mandelic acid body wash that I’ve tried (and I’ve tried a lot). I use it on my underarms, bikini area, and belly button, and it has basically solved my issue with ingrowns and boils in those areas. It also eliminates odor-causing bacteria without throwing off your body’s pH! My favorite scents are lavender and orange, but they have unscented too.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

I love Cyklar’s Mandelic Acid Brightening Deodorant, and their body oil (also linked here) might be the best body oil I’ve ever used. Their deodorant works significantly to eliminate odor-causing bacteria and help with underarm darkness, ingrowns, and boils. This is their bergamot neroli scent (my personal favorite — I love a fresh clean scent), but I love their Vanilla Verve scent as well.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty #LTKmorningroutine

Under $20 🔥 (normally $28; currently on sale for $18): I love this Cicalfate Restorative/Protective Cream and have been using it as a regular part of my wedding skin prep. It’s like a hybrid moisturizer/barrier protectant, so it both locks moisture in and helps actually repair the skin. It’s a lifesaver for dry skin, but it’s also a really effective remedy for chapped skin, sunburn, and eyelid eczema!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

The Athleta Pinnacle Trousers are one of my wardrobe staples, and they are on a GREAT sale (less than $100‼️) right now!!! These are the perfect pants. They look like dress pants, feel like loungewear, don’t wrinkle, and are excellent for everything from travel to the workplace. All the “neutral” colors are 30% off, and they rarely go lower than this. Available in sizes 00-24.

I’ve been having the hardest time finding good tall plus-size jeans lately… until now. These Good American jeans from @Anthropologie are IT. They come in both straight-size and plus-size, and they do run big. I’m so happy with these — at 5’10”, it’s so refreshing to FINALLY try on pants that don’t look cropped and are actually long enough on me.

#LTKTall #LTKPlusSize #LTKSaleAlert

This Vee Collective tote that I LOVE is on sale at Saks for 25% off ($335 ➡️ $251), plus free shipping with code SHIPSAKS. I love this tote because it’s so lightweight but fits a LOT (including my laptop!), and it still looks stylish and chic.

Linked the shorts and shirt too because they’re both great for everyday wear and I got multiple requests last time I posted this video! :)

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKWorkwear #LTKPlusSize

This is probably my favorite perfume of all time, and it’s currently part of Bluemercury’s 15% off $150/20% off $300 savings event. It's a tea scent and smells fresh, clean, yet also crisp. At $295 for 3.38 oz/$205 for 1.7 oz, this sales event is a perfect time to purchase it.

Nordstrom has some great beauty picks that are on sale through tomorrow, 9/23!

Here are 4 of our favorite picks:

- The Lovely Tan 10-Minute Tan Mask: Like the name says, you only have to apply it for 10 minutes, and then you can wash it off right afterwards — no need to marinate in it and feel sticky. You’ll see a little bronze glow immediately after your rinse, and then your full tan will develop in 24 hours. There are both a full size and a trial size set (mitt included with both) available in the sale.

- Shiseido Eyelash Curler: The besttttt eyelash curler!

- Salt & Stone Body Wash: This was a Nordstrom anniversary special that sold out, and now it's back in stock and 15% off?! The price is basically like a BOGO free of this body wash. It’s extremely hydrating, and the bergamot scent smells SO good!

- The Ordinary Sulfur 10% Powder-to-Cream Concentrate: I love this as a sulfur spot treatment. It’s already affordable, but even more so when 15% off and free shipping!

Love these Quince pillow covers that are 54% off right now! Pillow covers not included. For extra-fluffy pillows, I recommend one size bigger.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKHome

Expensive but 15% off right now + free shipping: This Nordstrom’s Blurring + Micro-Correcting Concealer with Peptides is GOOD. It virtually erased my dark undereye circles and didn’t settle into my fine lines. I also tested it out at a pool party, and it stayed on all night while also giving me a nice luminous glow.

Homecoming: My favorite word to write since 2001.

Our friend Molly has the most effortlessly cool style, and both this cardigan and these pants are 50% off (cardigan is today only)!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKootd

I wore this Athleta tee and my favorite Athleta leggings to the gym on Friday, and DAMN, I could really tell the difference between this and other workout clothes. I think this Athleta tee might be one of my favorite workout items. It’s breathable, cooling, and has a rubber grip at the bottom so that it stays in place. It’s more expensive than my usual Target or Old Navy tees (but I linked those here too because they’re still good!), but the difference is tangible.

I’m also wearing the Athleta Elation Leggings, which are hands-down the most FUPA-supportive leggings I’ve ever tried, while still being soft and comfortable.

And I linked Missy’s workout outfit + one of her favorite super-supportive sportsbras for high-impact workouts, because last time we posted it to IG, we got lots of requests for the links.

#LTKActive #LTKMidsize #LTKPlusSize

Wanted to highlight these jeans from the @Madewell 25% off everything fall sale. They remind me of my favorite Paige Sasha jeans: Super stretchy and comfortable, and look structured while having enough “give” to comfortably sit in. Great if you have a desk job and can wear jeans to the office — they won’t dig into you while you’re sitting, and they still look put-together and professional.

If you’re over 5’8”, consider getting the tall/long fit. I’m in the Curvy Regular fit here, and the hem was hitting just a bit too short, so I ordered them in Curvy Tall.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKMidsize

Reposting to include our code SISTER for 25% off!

We received a shipment from More Than Energy Caffeine Supplement in gifting and ended up really liking it. No jitters, no sudden buzz, just coming to the realization that I had more energy to last me throughout the day and didn’t need that PM cup of coffee that too often would sabotage my sleep. The same benefits of caffeine… without the caffeine.

My favorite is the Mango Pineapple (not too sweet!), but they also have a sample flavor pack and Anders really likes them all. We’ve both noticed positive changes that have benefitted our energy and sleep hygiene, and we’ll be restocking.

#LTKselfcare #LTKdayinmylife #LTKSaleAlert

These were a must for Missy’s wedding/bachelorette welcome bags and are hands-down my favorite facial cleansing wipes. They really do leave your face feeling fresh and clean and also have a hydrating serum. Truly clutch to have on hand for travel, late-night events, hospital/caregiving settings, and really any situation where you need to wash your face but don’t have time or access to do your regular routine.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

I actually got a lot of questions on this top when I posted it to our Instagram with the @Madewell curvy barrel-leg jeans. While I got this top (it’s actually a mini-dress!) on sale last year and can no longer find it, I curated a collection of similar tops in a variety of sizes and price points. You can shop them here!

#LTKMidsize

Everything I tried on in the @Madewell Fall 25% Off Sale: Currently 25% off everything + up to 40% off select items for insiders. Shop our curated picks and swipe through for outfit details!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKMidsize #LTKPlusSize

This U Beauty Arm Sculpt cream has been just short of a miracle, and it’s 15% off on Bluemercury with a total purchase of $150/20% off with a purchase of $300. I desperately wanted to not like it so that I wouldn’t feel compelled to buy another $98 bottle when this one was done. Unfortunately, it’s fantastic. It has DRAMATICALLY reduced the darker skin folds in my underarms, and the loose skin on my arms is noticeably less crepey. It’s also helped with skin texture, elasticity, and my keratosis pilaris on my arms. Swipe for before and after videos 👉🏼

I also tagged a couple other U Beauty products that I really like (their Super Hydrator is great for my skin barrier, and Sarah got me hooked on their eye cream) if you want to reach $300 for the max 20% discount.

#LTKBeauty #LTKSaleAlert #LTKselfcare

As someone with fine hair prone to greasiness, when it comes to dry shampoo, I know ball. This one available on Amazon is really good and worth the higher price tag (and a little goes a long way, so it will last you a while!). SHAKE WELL!

#LTKBeauty #LTKmorningroutine

The shoes from my previous post. I like them so much I have them in four different colors. Comfortable, chic, and available up to size 12.

#LTKootd

Anthropologie makes a great heather grey tee with a perfectly-worn soft feel — something I’ve been searching for for a while. Available in plus (up to 3XL); I took my true size!

Jeans are one of my favorite Madewell washes and currently 40% off because I think they’re being discontinued. These are slim-straight leg with a mild stretch and a great vintage wash. I’m 5’10 wearing a size 18, and they hit at my ankle for a slightly cropped look. Also available in plus!

#LTKPlusSize #LTKSaleAlert #LTKootd

Really love Cakes boob tape for how easy it is to apply, adjust, and reapply, and for how well it wears and stays put through movement and sweat. I ordered both my most recent supply of Cakes and this fun little going-out top from @Revolve.

#LTKMidsize

I’ve been working HARD on my skincare before my wedding, and the difference in my skin from early July to now is honestly wild. In addition to microneedling and Aquagold facials (1,000/10 recommend), my skincare routine has focused on keeping my face as nourished and hydrated as possible. These have been the 4 staple products that I’ve been using daily to help reach my skin goals:

1. La Roche Posay Cicaplast Balm Vitamin B5 Soothing Therapeutic Cream: I use this as my moisturizer in the 24-48 hours after microneedling or facials for procedure recovery.

2. BIOEFFECT EGF Growth Factor Power Serum: I wish this wasn’t as expensive as it is, because it REALLY works, and I 100% will keep using it. Iconic for a reason. I’ve even had some friends say that it makes the effects from their Botox treatments last longer.

3. SkinCeuticals Vitamin C & E Serum with Ferulic Acid for skin radiance and anti-aging

4. SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Ultra-Lifting Serum for skin lifting and tightening

…and a lot of moisturizer! I’ve been doing the same routine every day, and my skin keeps getting better. I’m truly blown away by these results in such a short period of time. Who would have thought?

#LTKBeauty #LTKWedding #LTKselfcare

The INKEY List hydrocolloid pimple patches continue to be my favorite pimple covers. The salicylic acid formula really works to shrink pimples, and they’re thin, hard to detect, and actually STAY on. Like, this one stayed on for three days through multiple face washes and showers. Oh yeah, and they’re under $10.

#LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

I’ve started taking this MTE More Than Energy Caffeine-Free Supplement and have really noticed a difference in my energy, focus, and sleep recovery. I am perpetually working on my sleep hygiene because I need a large amount of caffeine in the morning but am also constantly recalculating the exact amount I can have later in the day without ruining my sleep that night.

Anders and I have both started using MTE if we need energy after 12pm specifically so we can cut off caffeine earlier in the day. It’s not a dramatic jolt of energy, but I have noticed a difference. Mainly, I’ve found that I’m still able to function past 5pm without borrowing energy from the next day. I don’t use it every day, so one pack lasts me about 45 days.

You can still have your morning caffeine with it — I’ve heard some reviews report not needing a morning coffee anymore, but I dare not try that haha. You can use our code SISTER to get 25% off when purchasing directly through their site, and it’s also sold on Amazon. They also have a sampler 6-pack so you can try all of their flavors — my favorite is the Mango-Pineapple, but Anders equally likes them all.
