Wednesday On The Web

This week has been quite the doozy. I expected a quiet summer week to catch up on all sorts of things before taking a summer vacation. But I have gotten very little done. Note to self: use your weekend more wisely. I did have time to do some shopping and I cannot recommend this little summer shirt from J. Crew – it is so soft. Some other finds from around the web:

Father’s Day – Jack Black PureScience Jet Set Traveler

As the father of a beauty blogger, my dad knows full well to expect some skin care treats on Father’s Day. What surprised me most though was how enthusiastic he became about his “collection”. I think, like me, he appreciates the science behind the formulas. One of his favorite lines is Jack Black. And they have just the perfect thing for Dad this year.

Jack Black PureScience Jet Set Traveler is newly updated and has three essentials that use the PureScience technology for a complete shaving regimen:

Pure Clean Daily Facial Cleanser
Supreme Cream Triple Cushion Shave Lather
Double-Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20

All your guy or dad would need for a summer vacations. The products come in TSA-approved sizes. Free from parabens, sulfates, colorants and synthetic fragrance. Cruelty-free, vegan and dermatologist tested.

A brief check in this Wednesday – the long weekend has me a bit off kilter. Yesterday, I was totally exhausted. Doesn’t seem to make sense after an extra day of rest. After a nap and a little walk yesterday, I am like a new woman. Hope you guys are having a great week!

Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale

It is almost Memorial Day Weekend and there are loads of sales out there. But one of my favorites of the year is Nordstrom‘s Half-Yearly – such an easy way to shop online (and right now packed with deals). Thought I’d pop in tonight while I watch some basketball and share some of my picks. Happy Shopping!

Wednesday On The Web

We are upon the week of a full moon and man, can I feel it. I don’t know if it is just me, that I am a Cancer, or I am completely making it up in my mind. But my sleep is totally jacked and I am a little on edge. Fortunately, this Saturday involves seeing two friends I haven’t seen in a while. And other than that, just some major chill. It could be pre-summer pool weather and I wouldn’t be mad at some grilling out and a little sunshine. That’s what I am up to. And trolling the web – here are some of my finds:
