Yard Sale Round-Up

Hello!  How is everyone doing today?  Did everyone have a good 4th of July?  I know I spent some good time with family and ate too much food.

But besides the 4th, my family is having a yard sale this weekend.  We normally have a large yard sale every summer which normally consists of stuff from multiple families.  Like, 3 or 4 families.  But we have been having yard sales ever since I can remember.  So, I wanted to share some helpful tips and tricks I found that may help you out with a yard sale if you ever want to have one.  Trust me, it’s a nice way to get rid of stuff and still make some money.  Enjoy!

P.S. There are only 6 posts because most of the stuff I found just repeats itself over again.  So these are the main things I found that I thought were the most helpful.

Lauren’s Favorites Round Up

Hello!  How is everyone doing today?  Is everyone ready for the weekend?  I know I am because I have a 3 day weekend!  Hooray!

And the reason I am taking a 3 day weekend is because it’s my birthday on Saturday!  I am turning 25!  That’s crazy to me and I can’t believe I’m that old…  But because it’s my birthday, I am doing My Favorite Things Roundup.

Here are 10 of my favorite things that you can buy on Amazon!  These products are helping to lead up to Amazon Prime Days, which are July 15 and 16.  These are two epic days of deals and promotions.  Plus, if you click on the links below, they will take you directly to Amazon where you can purchase these items.  And if you purchase something, we will earn a little commission from Amazon at no extra cost to you!  I hope you enjoy these items as much as I do!

Succulent Pots

Now!  If have been following the blog since the beginning of the year and you have been reading the round ups, you may have noticed that I am super into succulents.  So naturally one of my favorite things is succulents and succulent pots.  Here is a set of Succulent Pots that are modern and stylish!

Black and Silver Globe

I like travel decor which you may have seen in past posts (click here if you want to see my compass canvas).  I already own a pink globe but I would love to have a black and silver one to add to the collection.  So here’s a globe that you can add to any decor!

Eiffel Tower

My whole bedroom is Paris themed so of course I have to add an Eiffel Tower to the round up.  This is a small 15 inch statue of the Eiffel Tower which would be perfect for any tabletop.

Marble Notebook

I am a notebook collector.  If I see a notebook that I want, I usually buy it.  And Amazon has a wide variety of notebooks and journals that anyone can pick from, but this one has been calling my name for a while now.

Pink Mixing Bowl Set

I like to bake, nothing too exciting but I like baking cupcakes.  And when you are baking, you definitely need mixing bowls.  So why not have 4 pink mixing bowls???  It’s like a match made in heaven!

Black Sandals

How many of you like shoes?  My mom and I both really like shoes and I particularly like sandals and flip flops.  But these black sandals are simple and cute and perfect for any outfit.

Betsy Johnson Backpack

If there is one accessory that I like more than the rest, it’s purses and backpacks.  And I really like Betsy Johnson bags.  I have so many of them and I just want more.  This backpack and cross body bag is the perfect way to get two bags for the price of one!

Aladdin DVD

I know the new Aladdin movie has come out but I will always have a soft spot for the original Aladdin movie.  So it has made it here on my list, just in case you want the DVD copy.

Pink Velvet Futon

Do I need to say more???  A. Pink. Velvet. Futon.  On Amazon.  Excuse me while I find a way to fit this in my apartment.

Rose Gold Minnie Mouse Ears

And finally, my love of Disney.  I have always, and always will, love Disney.  I could go to Disneyland constantly and I wouldn’t get tired of it.  So for my love of Disney, here are a pair of Rose Gold Minnie Mouse Ears that you can add to your Disney collection.  If you have one.

4th of July Snacks and Drinks

Good morning!  Can you believe that it’s already half way through the year?  Like…this is crazy!  Before you know it, it’s going to be Christmas!  I might need to start on my Christmas wish list come to think of it…

But before we get lost in the thoughts of Christmas, we have to celebrate 4th of July.  I posted this last year so it is a repost, but I enjoy all of these.  Especially the first recipe, I have made it multiple times for not only the 4th but other holidays as well.  So I hope you enjoy and get some ideas for your 4th of July party!
