Ulta's 21 Days of Beauty are back, just in time for fall. It should be no secret by now that I'm a huge fan of their 21 Day Beauty event. I love it because each day amazing, higher-end products are featured on sale for up to 50% off of their regular price. It's a great way to save money on the good stuff- most of which rarely goes on sale. The kicker is the products change daily so if an item's on sale, you have to purchase it that day! The sale starts Friday, August 30th and runs through Thursday, September 19th. You can shop most deals in-store (*some are online exclusives*) and on Ulta.com. The event runs for 21 days so I always like to share my favorite picks from each week. Here are the products on my radar for Week 1:

FALL READING KICK OFF: WHAT I WANT TO READ

Fall is right around the corner which means mentally, I've been ready for weeks. I always start planning out all of the things I want to do, eat, watch + read when it comes to fall. I need all the cozy vibes! Some things are just fall coded, too, like Gilmore Girls and Pumpkin Spice. They've been assigned to the fall labeled box and that is that. Certain books are that way for me, too. I've started a mini reading list to kick off my fall reading next month. 

If you're getting what I'm putting down, you already know anything Harry Potter or Twilight is a given. Call it nostalgia or those gloomy days in Forks, it's just the vibe, ya know? I've definitely been all in the nostalgia lately, too. I jumped the gun a little early and started a re-read/re-watch of the entire Harry Potter series back in June which has made my summer. I'm currently page deep in Goblet of Fire which means Order of the Phoenix fits in perfectly on my little fall reading kick off. I've also been having a little Twilight itch... I was thinking of just watching the movies but currently I've talked myself into re-reading the book. 

I'm also excited to read In the Company of Witches this year. I didn't end up reading it last year so I'm putting it at the top of my list as well as a newer release, The Spellshop. This one just seems fitting for fall + Halloween with a feel good, fantasy vibe.

You can read the synopsis + shop each book by clicking on the title below: 

+ In the Company of Witches by Auralee Wallace

+ Twilight by Stephanie Meyer 

+ The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst

+ Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling

What's on your fall reading list?

MY PICKS FROM RING CONCIERGE'S 20% OFF SALE

Graduated Diamond Layering Necklace // Luxe Diamond Tennis Necklace // Chain Reaction Trio Set // Open Gold Wrap Bangle // Classic Diamond Tennis Bracelet // Baguette Bezel Bangle // Graduated Diamond Huggies // Diamond Wrap Ring // Double Panther Gold Ring

Diamonds are always a good idea, especially when they're on sale. One of my favorite places to browse and shop for fine jewelry is the Ring Concierge. They have some beautiful pieces with fresh, modern designs and all of the classics. They also only offer a sale on their jewelry a few times a year so if you just happen to be in the market for something sparkly, it is your lucky weekend! Starting on Sunday, early access to the sale opens up for 20% off site wide. This typically excludes a few items like classic diamond studs + engagement rings, however pretty much everything else is fair game. It also just so happens that I LOVE picking out pretty gems and with pieces as beautiful as theirs, obviously I have amazing taste. 😉 Here are my top picks!

What's your favorite Ring Concierge piece?

TOP 5 MOST POPULAR BLOG POSTS | 8.16.24

I would be a little sad about August already being halfway over if it weren't so d*mn hot around here. It's too much, ya'll. All I have to say is that once we get into the BER months, Mother Nature better get it together! This halfway point always means it's time for a little blog round-up with the most popular posts here on TKD from the last month. I know it doesn't really make sensed that I always share these halfway through the month versus at the end, however I kinda like it like that. It started out that way and just stuck, ya know? On a technicality, that really just means these are the most popular posts from the last thirty days but anywho- here they are!
