THE BEST BLACK FRIDAY + CYBER MONDAY DEALS

Happy Thanksgiving Eve! It's time for my annual blog post on the best Black Friday + Cyber Monday deals! The trend over the last few years has definitely become more of a month-long sales competition from every known retailer in America, lol. The constant flooding of emails is a litttttleeee cray and while I think the pre-sales takes a little bit of fun out of it all, I still look forward to shopping every year. Ya'll know I work in retail (pray for me this weekend, hah) so my in-store shopping is pretty much nonexistent. I am a Cyber Monday gal, though which means I will be adding to cart and earning my cash back from the safety of my bed. PS-- ya'll know I can't miss out on plugging my Rakuten referral!

If you don't already use Rakuten, sign up to earn free cash back! They will be doing big cash back offers all weekend (right now there are tons of stores giving 12% cash back) + there's a good chance it will jump up on Monday. If you want to sign up with my referral, you'll earn a $40 bonus once you spend $40. I also get one too! :D You can use it pretty much anywhere too- there are hundreds of retailers who partner with Rakuten! I use it all the time for Target, Sephora, Ulta, Sam's, Walgreens, etc. Click here to sign up + earn the bonus! 

Alright, back to the good good stuff. Here are my top picks! 

BEST BLACK FRIDAY + CYBER MONDAY DEALS

+ Abercrombie (25% off everything) 

Abercrombie is my go-to for basics- bodysuits, jeans, tees, etc. Right now I'm obsessed with this pair of jeans! For BF/Cyber Monday, everything is 25% off + you can stack the code "AFCHAMP" for an extra 15% off. 

+ Agent Nateur (25% off site wide with code HOLIDAY25) 

I love me some Agent! If you're looking for clean, luxury skincare, look no further. They only do a few sales each year and 25% off is great savings! I love their holi(trinity) and cleansers! This year I have the holi(sun) drops and holi(pearly)whites toothpaste on my list! 

+ Amazon (deals site wide)

Amazon always runs tons of deals during BF/CM. It's become more of a two week event now days for many so everything has been on sale for the last few weeks. I did snag a few items this year including this bodysuit, a coconut oil pulling kit + a hand mask!

+ American Eagle (30-50% off site wide)

American Eagle is offering 30-50% off everything right now. I love their basics like tees, sweaters + thermals! 

+ Anthropologie (30% off)

Anthropologie is running 30% off most items this year + an extra 40% off of sale items. I always love their holiday items which are included in the sale! They have the cutest ornaments every year! 

+ Aritzia (20-50% off everything) 

Ms. Aritzia doesn't like to put herself on sale too often so now is the time to shop! Currently everything is 20-50% off which is a pretty good discount range for their items. I love the TNA sweats and their bodysuits! 

+ Armani Beauty (30% off site wide with code BF30)
I added Armani Beauty to the list this year because I have my eye on their Luminous Silk Foundation + concealer! It's been raved about for years but surprisingly I've never tried it. 

+ Bloomingdales (25% off select items + loyalists receive $25 reward card for every $100 spent)

+ Colorescience (25% off site wide + free gifts with purchase)

I love love love Colorescience!! They make my favorite face sunscreen- it has SPF 50, is mineral based and blends like a dream! It also has no white cast which is amazing. I love the original formula but I also want to try this Flex formula for a little more coverage. 

+ Dermstore (up to 30% off site wide with code JOY)   

+ DNDGEL (50% off items with code FROSTED)

+ Macy's (specials site wide)  

+ MAC Cosmetics (30% off site wide)

I think I'll be a MAC lover forever! I need to restock on my favorite under eye brightener + I want to buy some new lip products while everything is 30% off. 

+ Nécessaire (25% off site wide) 

I love Nécessaire- their hand cream is the best! 

+ Nordstrom (deals site wide + up to 60% off clearance)

Nordstrom is always a go-to for anything + everything! 

+ Old Navy (50% off everything)

Old Navy is turning it up this year with 50% off everything!

+ OmniLux ($60 off 1 device, $130 off 2, $240 off 3 + 20% off topical skincare/mini devices)

Eeek okay OmniLux is at the top of my shopping list this year... I have been debating on buying their Contour Red Light Mask for about a year now and I think I'm going to do it! You can save $60 off of one device but it's definitely a splurge! 

+ Oura Ring (up to $200 off rings) 

My Oura Ring love is still going strong! I've had my Gen3 for over two years now and still wear it every single day. For Black Friday, they are offering up to $200 off rings which is a great buy. PS-- Amazon is also running them on sale for Black Friday here if you prefer to shop on there! For more info on the ring, make sure you check out my Oura Ring Unboxing post! 

+ QVC (daily deals, up to 30% off new deals, free shipping on Black Friday specials + special interest free financing offers) 

+ Ring Concierge (30% off site wide) 

One sale I look forward to every year is Ring Concierge. They offer 30% off of almost everything which only happens this time of the year. I definitely have my eye on some new earrings! 

+ Salt & Stone (20% off everything)  

+ Target (daily deals site wide)

Ya'll, Target isn't messing around this year. They've had brand new daily deals for the last two weeks I think? My favorites to shop are always the book/tv/movie deals (this year it's Buy 2, get 1 free) + the pajama/lounge. I did snag these cloud pj pants for $12 which are so soft + cozy! 

+ Tower 28 Beauty (20% off orders under $50, 28% off orders over $50) 

I've already taken advantage of Tower 28's sale this year + scored 28% off my order plus a free lippie! 

+ Ulta (up to 50% off Black Friday deals)

+ Urban Outfitters (40% off your entire purchase)

READING UPDATES + MINI BOOK HAUL

Okkkieeee I am BACK into my reading era so I have some new reading updates to chat with you about! I think I shared a while back that I've been doing a reread/rewatch of the Harry Potter series. I've been slowly making my way back through the entire series which has been the best. I took a little break from it the past few months but I'm currently at the beginning of Order of the Phoenix which I can't wait to really get into. Growing up this one was my favorite book- things really start to shift here and it's just so so good. I'm also excited to rewatch the movie- I haven't seen this one as much as the earlier films.

In my break I switched gears a bit and have ping ponged around a few pages of Master Your Emotions and The Divine Feminine, however I haven't really been in the headspace for personal growth books right now. I'm always feeling a romance vibe though, hehe. I've been wanting to read a few of my unread books so I re-started After by Anna Todd. I'm pretty sure I've tried reading this one three times now and I've never been able to make it through... now that I'm at the halfway point, I'm remembering why. 

Okay so I like the premise of the story and it's entertaining but there is just SO much push and pull, emotional rollercoaster drama. It's almost too much for me. I know I would have probably loved this book in high school/college but I fear I may be too old for this now?? They are WEARING ME OUT, lol. I always wanted to read the entire series so I'm pushing myself to make it through this time. We'll see how it ends and then evaluate whether to keep reading... I'm pretty sure I also have book #2! 

I'm always in a shoppy mood so I made a few new book buys too. I couldn't resist the new Christmas at Hogwarts holiday book that just came out- how cute! Christmas at Hogwarts *is* the best and the graphics on this book are beautiful. Such a fun collector item + holiday gift for my fellow Harry Potter lovers! 

Also in the Christmas spirit is Tis the Season for Revenge by Elizabeth Jordan. I love a fun holiday rom-com and wanted something cute and festive to read in December. I've seen great reviews on TikTok! Also a random TikTok recommendation I grabbed is A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime. I kept seeing this one pop up so I threw it in my cart- I'll let you know what I think! 

I also just discovered The Rutshire Chronicles by Jilly Cooper and *immediately* added it to the top of my TBR list. Have you seen the new show Rivals on Disney+/Hulu?!?!??! YA'LL, I CAN'T. I saw a few clips on TikTok and had no clue what I was getting myself into. I also didn't realize until finishing the show that it had just come out and there is only one season!! It has seriously had me in a chokehold ever since and is so so good. 

It's based off of the book Rivals from The Rutshire Chronicles series by Jilly Cooper and is phenomenal. It takes place in the Cotswold of England in the 1980s and is cheeky, smart, endearing and a little raunchy. As an '80s lover, it is right up my alley. It also has THE BEST soundtrack. The music + vibes are a 10/10 and I love the characters. I wasn't kidding about the chokehold, ya'll. There are very few things that really captivate me like this... you must watch! Maybe you should wait awhile though, lol. Rumor has it that season 2 is a very good possibility so maybe just wait until there are more episodes to watch unless you want to GO INSANE. Obviously I need more NOW so I'm adding all of the books to my 2025 list but it's insanity!
