Hello friends! Happy Friday! What are you doing this weekend? I hope you have a fun weekend ahead! I *hope* we will finally decorate for Halloween, and I will make an ofrenda for Día de los Muertos.
P has a basketball game, Liv is dancing, we have a date and jet set pictures scheduled for Sunday. It will pass quickly!
My heart has been aching all week for the victims of Hurricane Helene. When disasters strike, it’s hard for me to write posts about anything…everything I feel or want to talk about seems so pointless, especially when others are suffering. In the spirit of distraction through little pockets of joy, I will continue to post Friday Faves even though my mind is completely elsewhere.
If you are looking for ways to help and organizations to support, here are some options:
– Both Terrilyn and Jenna have posted resources on their Instagram. Terilyn created Amazon wist lists that will go directly to organizations that can distribute the items, and Jenna shopped and delivered items, using funds donated to her Venmo.
– Samaritan’s Purse is another option
– If you have any others to include, please leave them in the comments below
It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. Here I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your favorites too, so shout out something you love in the comments section below.
10.4 Friday’s Faves
Fashion + Beauty + Random:
New Oliveda goodies. Us Vitamin C serum it’s SO good (it’s in stock!) and I wanted to try it eye cream. I will definitely come back. Remember that if you get the skin care quiz and buy two items from your suggestions, you will receive a free gift (it will automatically appear in your cart after you add two items from your suggestions to the cart).
(New Nails! Walnut Brown with Chrome)
I can’t even tell you how excited I am for that. I wanted a cute EMF protection bag and HigherDOSE came up with one she sent me one to try! It’s really cute – a lot of EMF blockers… aren’t – and beautiful quality. It’s perfect for walks and hikes when I want my phone with me but don’t want the EMFs so close to my body.
(Use FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off on HigherDOSE here)
This is part of them Endorphin setwhich includes the bag (!), (note: my code doesn’t work on bundles because the items are already discounted, but you can use the code FITNESSISTA15 on individual items.)
Prime Days is next week! What do you have your eye on? I’ll spend some time this weekend creating posts with all my favorite deals.
Volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House with Liv last weekend. We did the Chef for a Day program through an organization we belong to and made brunch for the families. Our contribution was raspberry cinnamon muffins. We loved doing this together and will definitely do it again.

Fitness, health, life and good nutrition:
She made this chicken piccata this week and it was amazing. The kids loved it too! I used gluten free flour and served it with risotto and spinach sauteed with lemon garlic.
You have these Korean BBQ Bowls on the meal plan for tonight.
You have to try this pumpkin oat cake.
Have a great weekend and see you soon.
