Happy Friday, friends, and cheers to the long weekend! We left on the last flight out last night for a little family adventure in Yosemite National Park! I’ll be sure to share the fun and gorgeous vistas on my Instagram, so follow along HERE!

But today, we’re kicking off the holiday weekend with a big ol’ hodge podge of This & That, so buckle up for a random mixed bag of life lately, latest finds, discount codes, and more. While the blog remains my first love, it’s easier to share snippets of my day, great new finds, and the latest deals on social media! Some of them are too good to miss, so I wanted to be sure to share them with my beloved subscribers, too!

And if you aren’t following me on Instagram HERE, I promise we have fun!

Moving Babygirl //

I can’t believe that Sloan’s freshman year of college is already over! She absolutely thrived and bloomed, and it was a joy to see! But I’m also super excited to have her home for a few months, and will be grabbing as many hugs as she allows!

We moved her out of her dorm earlier this month, which is a lot less emotional than moving in, ha! Remember these tears?! These collapsible moving bags proved, once again, to be absolutely clutch! They fold up to nothing, hold a ton of stuff, and pack easily in the car. Plus, the backpack straps make it easy to transport down four flights of stairs! Truly magic bags and a must for college!

We stopped by her sorority house to take a few pics of the room she’ll be living in next year!

Home Is Where Your Mom Is //

All I asked for Mother’s Day was quality time together, and they totally delivered! We actually went to the Fort Worth Zoo, and it was the best day! Turns out, going to the zoo without strollers, diaper bags, and sweaty melt-downs is a perfectly enjoyable experience! 😉

Mary Poppins Bag on Sale! //

Sale Alert! The Luka Duffel from Calpak, aka the Mary Poppins Bag, is on sale! It’s the absolute BEST personal bag for making the carry-on life a reality!! It’s rarely on sale and makes a great gift, too!! You can see how I pack it HERE and HERE.

If You Can’t Tone It, Tan It //

With Summer here, the self-tanner has been working overtime over here! My absolute favorite formula for both an easy application and most natural color is currently on sale! (At least it is as of posting!) I’ve tried so many, and nothing compares to Loving Tan! I use the 2-hour Express Formula, and prefer the ‘dark’ shade. The mitt is a must for streak-free application!

Here are a few of my tips for a flawless, sun-free tan!

Polo Hack //

I love the classic, preppy styles of Polo shirts, tees, and caps… but don’t love the price points! I recently discovered a little hack that’s saved me tons!! Check out the boy’s department!! Turns out, a boy’s Large is equivalent to a women’s Small… and their styles are at least half the price of adult! Here’s my recent Polo haul I saved a bundle on!

Anthro Spring //

Anthro continues to impress us with their darling spring finds! Here are some of my latest finds, which I also shared in a little video HERE.

All In for Allbirds //

Earlier this year, I polled y’all on Instagram to see which brands you’d love to see a discount code, and Allbirds was at the top of the list! They rarely have a sale, but right now you can get up to 40% off your order, plus new customers can save another 10% with code CASSIE10! Our exclusive code is stackable, so it works on the sale items, plus the regular non-markdowns.

Sneakers (Tree Runner Go, code CASSIE10) | Ribbed Tee | Exercise Shorts (Small) | Polo Hat

Refresh In Progress //

Can you believe we’ve been in this house for almost three years already?! I figured it was time to finish decorating our primary bedroom, and the last Anthro sale was the perfect opportunity! I added these dressers as nightstands (LOVE!), lightened up the bedding, plus added the cutest piece of art. (That nook over the bed is tricky!!)

We’re still working on lamps, curtains, and a few other things, but I already love the progress! You can see the full design HERE.

Right on Target //

A random Target haul… full of the cutest tanks and earrings, not to mention the yummiest smelling candles for summer HERE and HERE. See the full haul HERE, and find it all linked HERE.

Warby Parker Fan Club //

I get asked about my frames every time I wear glasses, and it’s always Warby Parker! We get all our prescriptions there, even our eye exams. They make it so simple, and it’s actually affordable! These are the styles I’ve been wearing for a couple of years. Also, if you’ve never tried them, prescription sunglasses are a game changer!

Vacay Mode //

It’s vacation season, and here are some looks I’ve worn and loved lately… find a fun video of them all in action HERE.

Krazy For Kizik //

Kizik is another shoe brand I can’t get enough of! These are our go-to styles for hiking and streetwear, also perfect for travel. Save 15% site-wide with our exclusive link HERE! I packed the ‘Wasatch’ style for hiking in Yosemite, and the ‘Milan’ style is what Sloan and I wore all over Europe last summer. They’re the best street sneaker, super comfy without being clunky. And the slip-on technology is dreamier than you’d imagine!

Santa Fe Fun //

Earlier this month I was invited to a Summit in Santa Fe with LTK (the company I use to provide links for you guys), and had the absolute best time! I shared the experience HERE and HERE, and fully embraced the southwest mood board! They were some of my fave outfits I’ve worn in awhile! Should I share a full recap with outfits here? Here are a few to give you an idea…

Crushin’ On Quince //

I’ve ordered Quince housewares in the past and was always so impressed… I’m not sure what took me so long to try the fashion, but I’m fully a fan! It’s incredible luxury closet staples at the best pricing!

Emerald Envy //

I got mom the new Emerald Check salad bowl set and salt & pepper shakers from MacKenzie-Childs for Mother’s Day, and found myself ordering a full set of dishes for me, myself, and I. How pretty is that place setting?!

Swimsuits You Can Actually Feel Good In //

Cupshe has long been a brand I look to for fun and affordable suits! They can be hit or miss styles for those of us a little more ‘mature’, so it does take some serious shopping, but my recent order was a 10/10!

And they gave us a code to save! CASSIE15 for 15% off $70 orders, and CASSIE20 for 20% off orders over $109!! See my full try-on with full view of these suits HERE.

Top Row: Blue Suit (Small) | Green Suit (Small) | Cover-Up

Speaking of swim, I recently shared four ways I love to wear sarongs in this video HERE. And you know I reach for this $20 beauty most. Find it HERE and HERE.

Happy Hair //

Thanks to perimenopause, my hair started thinning about 7 or 8 years ago. It was so slow at first that I hardly noticed. Just a little more hair in my brush, then bigger clogs in the drain. It wasn’t until I pulled my hair back and had to loop the tie around a third time that I knew I had a real issue.

A few years ago I was introduced to Nutrafol. I dabbled with it here and there, but finally committed to consistent use exactly two years ago. Within three months, I noticed considerably less shedding. Six months later my hair stylist was shocked by the amount of new growth I had all over my head! And after the one-year mark, I said goodbye to my last hair extension!

I can’t tell you how good it feels, or the confidence it gives me to have a full head of hair again… and I owe it to Nutrafol!! I take the Women’s Balance, which is specially formulated for women in their 40s and up, to support us through the hormonal shifts and changes in our bodies. It specifically targets the key causes of hair thinning, is drug-free, and the most respected hair supplement on the market.

I’m officially a believer, as are so many of you! I reached out for a discount, and they’ve offered us one month FREE when you buy a 3-month supply HERE! It’s definitely an investment, but this photo is proof it worked for me!

Everyone might be talking about butter yellow, but it’s red and white I can’t get enough of this season! Avara just launched some great styles (I shared a try-on HERE), and my code CASSIE15 saves you 15%!

Wowza, Walmart //

Walmart is back in the game with crazy good styles at a fraction of the price! I could hardly believe this Farm Rio-style dress…. and can you believe it’s under $30?! It comes in black too, and yes I’ve already ordered it!
