#TuesdayShoesday: Summer Shoe Sales!

{ Via: Sunny Gu }

A really good time to buy Summer shoes is August.  Even the most luxe of brands have been reduced. If you find a mule or bootie, you can then take the shoes into Fall. Neiman Marcus has over 600 pairs of sale shoes. There are over 200 pairs of brand new shoes reduced at the #Nordstrom Anniversary Sale until August 7th. Finally, don't miss the Buy 2, Get 40% off shoes offer at Nine West. It ends 8/01/2017 11:59PM EST. There's too many to choose from, so I have done some pre-shopping for you.

Saturdays At Shop This: It's About Summer Beauty

{ Via: Vogue }

Since today is National Lipst*ck Day, I thought we would talk beauty this Saturday. And no, that isn't a typo. There's something strange happening in the cyber world of my blog. I can't type the word Lipst*ck without an issue. TMI but I did want to be au courant with this silly little day.  The photo above is borrowed from a fabulous write up at Vogue on Ayurvedic practitioner and herbalist Kari Jansen's, treatment space in Los Angeles.  Scroll down for more beauty news.

The coolest lip color ever: Laneige Two Tone Lipst*ck at Sephora. My favorite duo is the No.7 Cashmere Nude - Neutral Brown Pink. 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Many of us are trying to be more mindful with our cosmetic, skincare, and suncare choices. My motto is when you know better, you do better. The EWG Skin Deep Cosmetics Database is very helpful and enlightening. 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
The chicest Shower Cap on the market: The  Shhhowercap.  It's so lovely, it can double as your poolside turban, for those days when you don't want to get your hair wet.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
There's big savings to be had at Fragrancenet this weekend. Save an Extra 30% on already discounted fragrances like Hermes, Gucci, and Creed. They also carry high end skincare such as Erno Laszlo, Lancome, and Clarins. 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Guest-Room Beauty Essentials at Goop: Stop the need for medicine chest snooping. If you are hosting this Summer, stock the guest quarters with these "clean beauty" products.  Any one of them would be fun for your visitor to try. I plan on trying the Ursa Major Essential Face Wipes.

Don't miss the National Lipst*ck Day Bundle just $10 with any purchase at Bare Minerals. It's the cutest Tote with 6 Lip Colors.

My favorite Summer Beauty Buy has been Coconut Oil.  I use it as a moisturizer, for makeup removal, for dental oil pulling, and as my natural sunscreen.  You might like this article: Coconut Oil: 101 Uses, Benefits, & Why You Should Use it | Wellness Mama

Foodie Friday: Island Style ~ Cooking & Serving With Pineapple

{ Via: Chrissy Lau }

Today's post is all about the taste of the tropics. My goal is to transport you to a tropical island with just one bite. The pineapple stands tall as the symbol of hospitality and friendship. Because we are friends, I share these juicy recipes for tropical treats like Grilled Pineapple Nachos, Teriyaki Shrimp Burgers, Rum Soaked Pineapple Tidbits, and much more. Get ready to cook, island style.

In my view, Coconut Shrimp is a dish worth the cals and shame! Stuff them in a tortilla, top with mango and pineapple, then drizzle with cilantro coconut sauce.  Sounds like heaven.
