Hello friends! Good Friday! How are you; I hope you enjoyed your week. I feel like it was our first *real* week back in the world. I started to ease back into training, the girls went back to school and we got to celebrate my birthday with the family.
I just wanted to get together for brunch so we had a great brunch at First Watch with our little party of 15 🙂
We had the BEST gluten-free funfetti cake from Lovin’ Spoonfuls with buttercream frosting:
(fun in a scoop: I went to high school with their pastry shop and we order the cake from them every year. I also look forward to it all year! My favorite cake in the world.)
And the rest of the day was perfect and low-key. I read a book, we had a dinner cooked by pilots here at home and we saw Home Alone. The rest of the week has been a blur and I can’t wait for the weekend!
Liv is having a birthday party and one of her friends is sleeping over, I’m getting a mani pedi that I need, we’re going to dinner and decorating for Christmas. Since we are traveling next week, my favorite grinch gave me the green light to decorate early. He’s usually the leader of the “Honor the Bird” team, but this year he’s making an exception.
Flashback to our huge tree! Frieda is too old to be touched now. 😉
I’d love to hear what’s going on!
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.
Friday Faves 17.11
Fitness, health and good nutrition:
So many Black Friday deals happen early. Here are some of my favorites so far:
– You can use XOGINAH 25% off at Sakara. I LOVE their meal delivery – it’s something I do to treat myself once a month – and their snacks and supplements. Meals are fresh, vibrant, energizing and beautiful. I highly recommend giving it a try — this is their best sale of the entire year.
– FITNESSISTA20 will give you a 20% discount on HigherDOSE. (My regular code is FITNESSISTA15 for 15%). I use the sauna blanket, PEMF Go Mat, Red Light Face Mask and Red Light Neck Strengthener on a regular basis. I have noticed a huge difference in my energy, mood, skin and sleep since I started using their amazing products. Check it out here and you can read a roundup of my favorite HigherDOSE products in this post.
– My favorite rower sold for the only time this year. If you want to upgrade your home gym, I highly recommend it Aviron. It is stored vertically and is the best quality pad I have used. You can stream Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and play games while rowing. I will row and watch some The friends episodes this weekend. (If you are curious about the rower and have questions, send me one Instagram DM. I’d love to help! My full review of the blog post is also here.)
– If you have something in your cart from EquiLife, wait until Monday! The same applies to Organifi. 😉
Read, watch, listen:
I started Fourth Wing to see if it lives up to the hype, and while fantasy isn’t usually my genre of choice, I’m totally hooked. The writing is great and it’s super intense so far! Only problem is I read it before bed and I’m having weird dragon dreams lol.
Check out this week’s podcast episode here! We discuss immune system tips and food allergies.
Which holiday coupons will your kids love?
AFTER ALL. Sheesh.
Fashion + Beauty:
I have to admit it The sleep dresses 100% live up to their reputation. (They are 30% off right now!) It’s super flattering and comfortable and now I want every color. (I’m trying to decide if I like this style or the Somerset more)
Put it on this slip dress this week with cardigan and GG low tops. The quality is great and they have so many colors.
Happy Friday friends! Already decorated or waiting until after Thanksgiving?
