IN MY LIFE:
What a day it’s been! I have a couple big updates you need to know before you start your weekend:
I was live on Talk of the Town this morning sharing one of my most popular blog topics: Birthday Freebies! Don’t worry if you missed the segment; you can watch it and get all the deals here: https://www.samicone.com/free-birthday-food-deals/
Two of the biggest sales of the year are going on right now (Macy’s Black Friday in July & the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale) and I don’t want you to miss either of them. I’m breaking each down for you here, along with the best deals:

And last but not least, tomorrow is Project 615’s 8th birthday bash! They will have their parking lot closed for a free and family friendly event, with food trucks and a bar by Southern Grist Brewery. Stop by to drink, eat, and shop anytime between 10am – 6pm at the West store location! It will be a full day of celebration capped off with live performances by Andrew Ripp at 3pm and Humming House at 4:30pm.
PRAYER FOCUS: Healing
I know many of you are in need of healing, whether emotional, physical or spiritual. I pray healing over each of you today and on behalf of those you love.
MONTH OF 615
As a reminder, all month on The Daily Dash I’ll be wearing tees from Project 615, who supports world-changing causes through their apparel. Today’s pick is their current campaign tee (also in my new favorite color, “Sunset”). You can buy the “Do Everything in Love” shirt here: https://www.project615.org/do-everything-in-love/.
