Nordstrom Anniversary Sale – Early Access Top Picks

I couldn’t help but wait up to see all the items for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale load.  I’m loving all the rich colors.  I have so many things on my must have list, I want to share just a few of my favorites!  Keep in mind, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale technically begins July 18th.  Now through July 17th is Early Access for card holders only (this is credit card or Nordstrom debit card).  You can open one at NordstromBank.com or in store any time to start shopping the sale.  Maybe I’ll see some of you in the morning at Old Orchard :)

Strawberry Lemon Mint Water

Drinking enough water is so important!  Why not make it fun and luxurious!  Drinking this water makes me feel like I’m on a tropical vacation.  This Strawberry Lemon Mint Water is so delicious! Plus there are so many health benefits to all the ingredients.
Here are just a few of the health benefits:

Strawberry: detoxifying, boost immune system, vitamin C, helps production of collagen and prevention of wrinkles, reduces inflammation, fights bad cholesterol, boost fiber.

Lemon: maintains pH levels of body, detoxifies, Vitamin C, boosts immune system, prevents acne and wrinkles, weight loss, reduces inflammation and helps with joint pain.

Mint: reduces digestion, nausea, headaches, depression, fatigue, stomach cramps, helps with weight loss, calming to the skin, full of antioxidants.

Recipe
2-3 Cups Strawberries, sliced
2-3 Lemons, sliced
1/2 Cup Mint, chopped
Place all ingredients in a pitcher and fill with water. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. Lasts up to 3 days or until the fruit looks mushy or the water is cloudy.  Pour through a strainer if you want to avoid getting any of the “goods” in your glass.
Tip- When the water is all gone, you can refill the pitcher back up several times. The flavor won’t be as strong as the first time, but it’s still delicious!

Enjoy!!!

I went shopping at Nordstrom last week and the bottoms are already sold out :(  Don’t worry, this look is easily achievable with other pieces.  Perfect for running errands or lunch with a friend, this outfit is cute and comfortable.  Wear flat sandals or a strappy wedge, like this or this, for more comfortable feet.
