Pop of color…

December 26, 2015
Shirt: H&M (this shirt but in lime) (similar here) / Blazer: H&M (on clearance) (similar here) / Pants:   H&M (dark blue) / Boots: H&M / Necklace: Forever 21 / Earrings: H&M, old (similar here) / Bag: Amazon (dream bag) / Nails: Lacquered Up by Essie (buy cheaper here) / Lips: Aloe Vera Mood lipstick green color (Amazon)
By now you probably think, “man, Sara shops a lot at H&M and Forever 21.” Yes, I’ll admit I do. It is because I feel like I can get 10 shirts for the same price as 1 shirt at more expensive places. Of course I am in love with J Crew, Anthropology and many other stores. I keep telling myself one day I’ll shop there all the time. Life is full of dreams.
Let me share some shopping secrets with you:
1) I am obsessed with painting my nails, and of course my all time favorite polish is Essie. Which is $8.00 a bottle. With how much I paint my nails and how much I love Essie I had to find a cheaper alternative. That is when I stumbled upon Head2Toe Beauty. They sell Essie polish for half price! And if you are an Essie fanatic like I am that is a great price!
2) Like any girl who loves fashion of course some of the things you happen to love also happen to be the most expensive. I saw this Celine bag and immediately fell in love with it. Of course I was shocked to find out it was thousands of dollars. Of course I don’t have thousands of dollars on hand so I went for the next best thing. Similarity. If you are a Celine lover like me check out this bag. I ordered it a couple weeks ago and have loved it ever since. It fits a ton in it and I will definitely be buying again. 
3) I have to talk about the lipstick I am wearing real fast. I bought it ages ago on a recommendation from one of my friends. I ordered this green lipstick off of Amazon and haven’t worn it a ton. Lately I decided to give it a second try and love it! It is called ‘mood lipstick’ and is suppose to essentially be a perfect match of you, and I love the shade it turned out.
If you have any shopping secrets or favorite products for me I would love to hear them!
xo,
Sara

Ew, David. A big red rock. We were trying very h Ew, David. A big red rock. 

We were trying very hard not to connect with people 😉 so we played a few games of pickle ball, climbed up Dixie rock, and spent time in some slightly-warmer-than-salt-lake-city-weather. We’ve had a great start to 2021 & I love that journey for us.
My top 9 of #2020! What👏🏻a👏🏻year👏🏻 Even through the unexpected quarantine, COVID, & working from home, I am so so grateful for this past year. While the world has been going through such uncertain times, I’m so grateful I’ve been able to focus on my whole world at home. Colin & I have both been able to work from home since March. We have got to spend everyday together & I’ve got to spend everyday at home with Rowan. It has been an absolute dream watching her grow up 🙌🏻 all year I have been wishing this year would be over. Now I can’t believe today is the last day of 2020. This year has been the absolute fastest and slowest year of my life. I am excited to see what 2021 holds & all the adventures it’ll bring to our little family. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year 🎉 #happynewyear #littlemissrowanand
Christmas Eve is HERE🙌🏻 and jammies are a my Christmas Eve is HERE🙌🏻 and jammies are a my favorite tradition! These two have made the Christmas season so fun & special this year.

✈️SAVE MONEY TRAVELING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON✈️

Need a weekend adventure or staycation? We sure did! This past weekend we were in need of some serious time out and about! We used @shareavail to book an SUV to take us to some of our favorite places around Salt Lake City and it ended up being the perfect local “getaway”.

Avail is a car sharing service (like Airbnb for cars). You can book through their app (available on iOS) or online. We booked through the app, got a suburban (say hello to the newest soccer mom😉), and saved so much money compared to a traditional rental! It also saves you so much time! Instead of waiting in line to rent a car, you reserve one through the app, shuttle/drive to the Avail parking lot, and they hand you your keys! NO LINES & no upsells! They also use a 12-step cleaning process to clean each vehicle before & after each use, so you can feel safe to borrow any vehicle from Avail! 

Avail is not only a great way to save money while traveling, but did you know you can also 💚MAKE MONEY💚 through Avail while you travel to visit your loved ones during the holidays or if your car is just sitting at home?? 

All you have to do is sign up through Avail to have your car borrowed while you are gone (or if it's just collecting dust outside your home)! 
🔹Check the Avail website to see if your car qualifies to be borrowed
🔹Park your car at the Avail airport lot
🔹Get free airport parking while you are gone
🔹Free car cleaning
🔹If your car is borrowed, you can make up to $25 a day!

Crazy right?! So whether your car is sitting idle, you are visiting from out of town, spending the day exploring your city, or taking a staycation, @shareavail is the perfect way to experiencing all your adventures this year! Use the code "APRETTYPENNYGIRL" to get $50 off your first booking, now until Dec. 31st. Now tell me, are you going anywhere fun this holiday season?⬇️⬇️

Shopping during the holidays can be so stressful! Shopping during the holidays can be so stressful! I usually end up buying a bunch of Christmas gifts & end up spending wayyyy more than I plan to 🙈 but, I have been using @afterpayusa to buy now & pay later to make my holiday shopping stress-free. So many of my favorite retailers use @afterpayusa, like @oldnavy! (Everything is 50% off right now! RUN🏃🏼‍♀️)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@afterpayusa is the perfect way to shop now & pay later. It splits your total into 4 payments. Your first payment is due at checkout, & every payment after that is due every 2 weeks. See my stories to see what retailers are using AfterPay so you can have stress-free holiday shopping too! #sponsored #AfterpaytheHolidays #afterpayambassador
