6 Ways I keep my Sanity during Covid 19, and Where I shop for the Kids

by Shalice Noel
written by Shalice Noel

Since Covid-19 is our new reality and staying home is the best thing to do right now, I thought I’d share my 6 Tips to keeping my sanity during the quarantine below. I love reading others contributions so here are mine:

1. Keep a routine and write it down. Whether they be big or small, write down a few goals each day. I think the key is to keep doing something you love, whether it’s drinking coffee on the porch, finally starting one of those books from the towering stack by your nightstand, reading on the couch with the kids, taking a hot bath with candles, or just taking a walk to enjoy the fresh air, keep doing it.

2. Stay in, stay cozy. Invest in a good cozy outfit if you don’t have one. I like this top and just added these grey joggers to cart.

3. Put on lipstick. Sounds trivial but wow a good nude, peach or red lip can lift the mood.

4. Break out those beauty tools and face masks. Whether it be the fix, trinity, or tri-light, now, is the time ladies. 

5. Games and Hide N Seek Oh My! So many ask, how do we keep our kids busy at home for so many hours? Board games like LIFE or Scrabble, stickers, puzzles, a play tent, and drawing books are great non-screen activities. I started a point system at home so if the kids do a chore or find a hidden coin in the house, they can pick a snack from the prize box. Don’t miss the fact that even the LEGO’s are on sale at Nordstrom. See our favorite popcorn seasoning recipe below!

NACHO SEASONING POPCORN RECIPE:

1/2 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup white popcorn

1/4 cup Bragg nutritional yeast

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon ground paprika

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/8 teaspoon ground Cayenne pepper

Combine the yeast, salt and spices in a small bowl. Drizzle spices and coconut or avocado oil over hot popcorn. Enjoy!

6. Start a “spark joy list” What are things that typically bring you joy? For me, it is long hot baths, online shopping (no joke), styling outfits, moving furniture around, tidying up (anybody with me??), long walks around the neighborhood and sweet potato fries! Sounds like a random list, but I encourage you to grab a journal and write some of those things down, and then try and do them!


For those of you who also love to online shop and are finding it remarkably easy during this quarantine time, one of my favorite places to shop for the kids clothes is Nordstrom! Their customer service is awesome, no joke. I often order two sizes if my kids are in between sizes. I keep one and return the other to ensure a good fit. Shopping at Nordstrom is SO EASY and they just reduced (almost everything) 25%. Gasp! Free shipping, free returns and free curbside pick up. What more could you ask for?

I also am loving Teva’s for the kids! They’re washable, grow with the kids, and are both comfy and breathable. The girls both fought over this flutter top and gauzy dress. How cute are they?? The boys’ outfits are quality and traditional. I like to chose designs that can work for church, a playdate, or a cozy game of Scrabble. Versatility is key!

Which look is your favorite?

Some of my favorite buys still available on the NSALE

chucks under $20

These couple weeks my 4th has been struggling getting his shoes on, not finding them and just overall freaking out when I utter the words, “time to go, get your shoes on!” I’ve since purchased him two pairs of new shoes. One were cute olive green velcro pair and the other, Converse chucks my husband picked up from the NSALE. I was pleasantly surprised. As for the Converse chucks, he was able to get on in 30 seconds and out the door. This alleviates a lot of stress in our house. To say the least. There is still a lot available on the NSALE! See below and don’t forget to enter my $100 gift card giveaway on instagram!

There are still items on the NSALE available. These booties and blazer make the black ruffle shorts and tank look chic and pulled together. Who doesn’t need a couple pieces that can complete the basics in your closet? I know I do. PS. The spanx legging is back in stock!

Hope you have a lovely Tuesday!

    Favorite Sale of the Year is Here: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

    by Shalice Noel
    written by Shalice Noel

    The day is finally HERE. The first day of early access to the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I’m so excited I could pee in my pants. I love getting a sneak peek of fall offerings at discount. Makes me want to go on a big trip somewhere cold wearing all my fall clothes. Or perhaps you live in a cold area and dying to get your hands on some stylish layers. Or perhaps you’re looking for teacher and Christmas gifts. Keep scrolling and I think you will find something for everyone. I hope you are a Nordstrom Card holder and can enjoy shopping the sale early because things SELL OUT FAST. Apply for the card HERE. It helps to have first dibs on items you know will fly. Let me know which are your favorites!

    Coats

    Don’t miss this drapey jacket in white, this camel coat, and this classic in gray.

    Sweaters

    (Don’t miss the iconic leopard cardigan and super soft fleece that sells out every year!)

    This cardigan is $45, lightweight and comes in a bunch of colors!

    Shoes

    Love these tall pointy toe boots and these short booties. The secret is in the flattering pointy toe and ankle cut.

    Bags

    Skirts

    (Loving these 3 versatile skirts from the sale: suede, leopard skirt, and black satin)

    Jewelry

    ear jackets shown in gold // gold bar pendant // tunic in xs

    Activewear

    Dresses

    I’m loving the LBD’s and leopard dresses this year.

    Cozy, Cozy

    Jeans

    (these dad jeans I got in my true size only $52! and Paige jeans are GREAT. Note that the lighter wash in the Paige jeans are only available online. Not in store. I learned that the hard way.)

    faux leather jacket // jeans // sneakers // blanket // candle // luggage // CZ Earrings // camel coat // tall boots // fleece jacket // weekender bag // booties // NuBODY device. See my blog post about the NuBODY here!

    Mens

    (Reid picked out some items below!)

    Children

    (So many cute little giraffe blankets, mini Patagonia coats, car seats and outfits)

    Home/Gifts

    (gimmie all the candles! These ones are on crazy sale, $22 for an Anthropologie candle!)

    Sneakers

    (I found two that I liked!) I ordered the adidas in white

    Beauty/Devices

    (I use this caviar shampoo daily. It is one of the very few products my stylist allows me to wear that doesn’t hurt my color! Also, I’ve used this Neulash to help re-grow my lashes after the effects of lash extensions. Most of you already know, the majority of my make-up is Charlotte Tilbury pillowtalk. Easy to use because I’m a novice and flattering colors. I use the lipliner every day! See my posts on Charlotte Tilbury make-up here.

    I hope you found some goodies. Don’t forget to comment and “like” on my instagram to win a $100 gift card to jump start your Nordstrom shopping experience. I also published these looks on the Liketoknow.it app for mobile users. Hope you have a lovely Friday! I really appreciate your support and thanks for stopping by!

    Tips on how to shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

    by Shalice Noel
    written by Shalice Noel

    My favorite sale of the year is here. Icon and Ambassadors get an early preview to shop today at 9:30 PST and 12:30 EST. This year is a big selection I must say. Lots of goodies. But honestly, I’m most excited about the boots.

    Since they did things differently this year, allowing the Icon and Ambassador levels to shop first, THINGS WILL SELL OUT FASTER THAN USUAL. Which takes me to my first tip:

    1. BUY NOW, RETURN LATER. If you’re on the fence about size or color, my advice would be to buy it (if available) and return one if necessary. It’s more important you get the item, right?
    2. GET THE CARD. Are you a Nordstrom Card holder? I’m NOT a fan of having multiple credit cards, but I got this one 2 years ago just for this sale. I never keep a balance and only use it for this sale. What I’m trying to say, is, it is worth it. And I get multiple $20 notes in the mail because I spend so much during this sale for you girls. Sorry Reid.

    tall boots (praline suede) // skirt // halogen tee under $20 (super soft and comes in 7 colors!) // chloé bag //

    I’m loving these pj’s, this bag, and super soft pullover for colder areas that always sells out. I would size up for a roomier fit. I also picked up these ear crawler earrings in gold and this gold bar pendant for $52.

    Here’s a sneak peek of what I got from the sale yesterday. I have 5 bags and I had to have curbside pick up to help me get everything in my car. Phew, that was a workout!

    Below are some outfit ideas for my 9 to 5 girls. Many of you working girls asked for outfit ideas.

    pants // tank // faux leather jacket for $62!// similar mules // pleated skirt // vince cut out bootie // leopard cardigan // black jeans (I’m wearing a 2) // CZ earrings

    taupe booties for $79// black jeans // $20 tank

    Here is last year’s NSale post. I also love this candle set as a gift to the kids teachers! Ask me any questions in the comments or email me any questions. This is a great week to stock up on Christmas, hostess and birthday gifts!

    Every year I think QUALITY over QUANTITY. We don’t need more stuff, we need to shop smarter. I don’t always pick the cheapest things, but I will choose the investment buys and smart buys. Trust me, you will thank me in the long run!

    If you could buy one sandal at Nordstrom

    by Shalice Noel
    written by Shalice Noel

    Outfit details: white jeans (I love the slight ankle flare!) // sandals in “gray leather”// graphic tee and similar // utility jacket (I sized up to a medium for an oversize look) // purse and similar // sunglasses similar

    If you’ve ever walked into a Nordstrom shoe department, you already know what I’m talking about. Once you walk into the department, you are greeted right away. I love that about Nordstrom. Their customer service is always five star!

    If I choose to purchase online, I usually get a couple sizes and style, try on what works and return what doesn’t. Yay for free returns! For these particular wedges, I tried them on in store. A friendly store associate told me to try the 8.5 versus my usual size 9 since they do stretch and I had some room. I’ve already worn these espadrilles on two occasions and almost half a day on my feet and no blisters or sores to report. Now, that is saying a lot considering I’m holding a baby 75% of the time! Besides comfort, the price point is below $80, and a perfect spring shoe. The only con would be, I wish the shoe came in more colors and different heights. I chose the gray since the color was really flattering with my skin tone and versatile to be worn with spring whites and classic blacks. What’s cool is that, at 4 1/4″ height and 1″ platform, you don’t feel the height and it is incredibly flattering. Especially worn with dresses or jeans.

    If you were hesitant, get this! When you buy Treasure & Bond, Nordstrom will donate 2.5% of net sales to organizations that work to empower youth. How cool is that? I love when a company gives back. Also, this sandal has 625 reviews, most of which say these are incredibly COMFORTABLE and they wished they purchased these earlier. I know because I read most of those comments. Convincing me to order the tan ones as well. What do you think?

    Recreate my outfit below:

    Graphic tee

    Utility Jacket

    So many great sandals under $100

    White jeans

    Classic Bags
