What is it that makes the yearly Nordstrom Anniversary Sale so special?  Well, everything!  If we ever needed a little retail therapy this is the year.  You in? As you know, I'm a professional shopper around here at Jenraly.  I've been choosing gifts, informing you on the latest in kids fashion, style, and trends.  And I've even curated one of the most popular (and … [Read more...]

  The Review Rundown: I really love a one stop shop when shopping around.  You need some shoes?  Here are all the shoes, all kinds, and all styles - all in one place.   In an ideal world, we would be able to carve out a little time to slowly browse up and down each and every aisle at DSW.  It really is a bit therapeutic.  There's plenty of fun to be had searching … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: I used to be obsessed with my Hydroflask.  Ok, I still am, but my latest obsession is my YETI.  In fact, all things YETI.  From pretty kick-ass ramblers and tumblers to hard coolers I would consider adding to my wedding registry, I can't get enough. If you think you knew them before, it may be time to give them another look.  Get ready to get … [Read more...]

  The Review Rundown: Confession.  I really love sneakers - it's kind of my thing.  Slow clap for athleisure!  Sure, casual dress is front and center right now, with so many of us working from home, lounging at home, learning from home, and well, not allowed to leave home.  But comfortable dress had really been ramping up (Hadn't it?  Wishful thinking?) even … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: If you know me by now, you know I buy a lot of stuff for my husband.  I'm basically an expert on men's must haves.  Since my husband typically only wears old t-shirts and ratty shorts to the gym I figured it was officially time for an upgrade when it came to his birthday.  After some quick online research, I discovered GymShark, read the reviews, and was … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: Huckberry just may be the coolest men's online retailer that I've shopped in a long while.  They have a ton of pretty sick activewear and gear for a guy's guy who still takes pride in his appearance and what the inside of his home looks like.  Now I don't personally know of any guys like this (hint: husband) but, um, yeah he totally digs all this … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: I really dig the modern look for certain parts of my home.  But it has to look on trend enough without looking obnoxious.  It's really a fine line, but I've had plenty of luck with a wide variety of items from All Modern.  And while they do have that mid-century modern look that most people are still knee-deep in, they also have similar styles that I like … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: It started with a quick and simple backyard update and turned into a major backyard renovation.  That's how I was originally introduced to Houzz.  I'm always Googling something and was looking for some inspiring backyard remodel designs...on a budget.  I got my pergola from Wayfair, but when I was looking to really take my yard to the next level I needed … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: If you're a runner, workout regularly, obsessed with cross-fit, or are just kinda old and rickety (like me) stop everything you're doing because we're ready to talk about all things Theragun.  In a nut-shell, it'll most likely change your life forever.  No really, I'm serious. I actually received the Theragun Mini for my birthday since I'm typically … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: I have a confession to make.  My entire wardrobe is basically from J. Crew.  And so in everyone else's.  Look, I love J. Crew (genuflect) but, honestly, I was ready to change things up and not look like everyone else in my office.  By the way, remember offices?  After reading about Everlane in Elle Magazine (remember magazines?) I decided to give them a … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: Probably the best gift I ever bought my husband was the Solo Stove fire pit for the backyard.  Sure I bought him other amazing gifts in the past (thank you very much) like his favorite cologne and, of course, his favorite Yeti cooler, but this fire pit was really the icing on the cake and I have nowhere to go but down after this. As times have … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: Is it too soon to say that I'm already crushing on just about every single makeup product that Fenty Beauty comes out with?  I don't want to love it all as much as I do, but I've yet to be disappointed in their makeup, their wide variety of shades and colors, and their newly launched skincare essentials (most come with SPF that I always could use a little … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: I hadn't been to Anthropologie in year, but I luckily rediscovered them during the pandemic.  Isn't that really when we all expanded our options when we shopped out all of our normal go-to's?  I always thought they were pricier than I remember, but I was able to get my, now favorite, "work from home" super comfy joggers for 20% off...and you know how I … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: Saks Fifth Avenue is a luxury department store that most people have associated with Fifth Avenue in Manhattan forever.  And while most of us aren't consistently hitting high end department stores as part of our shopping experience, we definitely still like to look.  Hey, it's ok to like nice things!  After browsing their site and checking out their … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: I was a big fan of Hello Fresh.  In fact, I still am.  But the only thing I didn't love about them was that I had to actually cook everything.  I know you must think I'm lazy, but I consider myself just busy.  Who has time for all of this?  I had seen a commercial or ten on TV for Freshly and thought the concept seemed pretty interesting.  Fresh (and … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: All hail Hanacure!  Out of all the skincare trends we've tried, we have to admit that Hanacure is the absolute best. They started with their must have facial kit where you paint on this solution, wait for it to dry, and basically look a Who from Whoville.  After we saw it all over the 'gram we know it was time we tried it.  We've never been … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: Clarks is a great place for quality shoes that are comfortable, sustainable and cover a few categories for men and women.  Truthfully, I hadn't really shopped there in the past - aside from a quick browse through the store while popping in and out of stores in the mall.  Remember popping in and out of stores in the mall? After checking them out, it didn't … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: My kids are a disaster.  I mean that with love.  But still, rug stains are something that I've just come to terms with over the years.  When my kids were little it really forced me to just buy cheap junk rugs so that when (not if, but when) the rugs got destroyed I really wouldn't care.  Roll it up, throw it away, order a new one.  Well now my entire … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: I wasn't sure I was really going to be into SKIMS (Kim Kardashian's official shapewear and fashion line).  It's not that I'm not a fan of Kim Kardashian, but I almost felt like this would be a trick and it would only look good on her.  While I hate to admit when I'm wrong, alas, I am wrong.  SKIMS is actually pretty amazing, it's sort of comfortable to … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: I consider myself an expert shopper, but an amateur chef in the kitchen.  I have some solid go-to recipes, but my success rate is usually around 60% of the recipe actually coming out right.  I'm not a quitter so I just keep trying.  However, I feel like an expert chef whenever I bust out my Le Creuset cast iron skillets.  Yes, plural.  I own two.  One's … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: So I have a new addiction I can add to my list.  It's shopping online at Cole Haan.  There, I said it.  As you know I consider myself a true professional shopper and gift giver.  When it comes to shoes I'm more than picky.  It almost borders on snobby.  It really has nothing to do with the price - overall - just more of the style, fit, comfort-level, and … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: The best gift I ever received in the history of forever was a subscription to MasterClass.  I got mine last Christmas (it was only for 3 months) and it's basically the only thing that helped me survive the insanity that was "this year."  The classes from Master Class are actually fun and you really do learn some pretty amazing things.  It's even given a … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: I'm a regular at The Paper Source (and I really do love them), but my latest obsession is Minted.  Not only was I able to get everything I needed when I was basically forced to throw a baby shower, but I was even able to get the gift all at the same time.  Little did I know they had so much more than just trendy party planning essentials. I haven't … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: Honestly, it's been a while since I've hopped on Abercrombie's website for myself.  Sure, if you have 'tweens and teens, chances are this has been on your radar for a bit in recent years. But back in the day, this was definitely one of the places I physically went to (no, online shopping wasn't really a "thing" quite yet), to snag the coolest sweaters, … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: I have a confession to make.  I'm obsessed with all things "Modern Farmhouse."  I don't care that every home on Fixer Upper has the modern farmhouse theme.  I'm turning my entire home into it and I'm ok with that.  I started looking at the standard suspects; Home Depot and Lowes, but I've had the absolute best luck shopping everything online at … [Read more...]

The Review Rundown: If you know me by now you know I'm all about shopping some of the trendiest items I can find online.  I never thought that I would classify luggage as trendy but, alas, here we are.  I first saw Away Travel on my Insta-feed and fell in love with some of their most eye-catching color options.  When all you see at the airport is banged up black suitcases … [Read more...]
