Hi! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? Any fun parties or BBQs planned?? (Here’s a post with some healthy BBQ ideas if you’re planning ahead!)

We’ve had a wonderful time hanging out with the Pilot’s mama/MIL/Livi’s nana this past week. It’s been so much fun to show her around San Diego and enjoy time together. Since the Pilot has been gone frequently since we’ve been here, it took a little longer than we’d hoped to get her out here for a visit. Thankfully, it finally happened, and it’s been great to have her here.

Some faves from the week and around the web:

The Old Spice Guy’s ice bucket challenge video

THIS HOBO. I’ve been eyeing it for a while and now it’s on s-a-l-e… 

The science behind making the perfect cookie.

THIS WINE. We’re fans of the classic over here, but I was stoked to see the Midnight version at Baron’s. It is to diiieeee for; probably in my top five inexpensive reds. We’ll definitely be getting it again!

Midnight  1 of 1

Finding my beloved eyebrow brush. This is a random thing to love so much, but my Anastasia stencil and eyebrow brush have been missing for a week. I unearthed them from under the makeup drawer, in the way, way back (along with a long lost lipgloss). It was like Christmas! 

More reasons coconut oil is awesome.

Yoga Rave in Tucson! I love Session Yoga and the cause (Ben’s Bells); hoping to make it down there for this. If you live in Tucson or nearby, check out the details here. It’s going to be an incredible event.

Stability ball exercises for a strong back.

These earbuds. It was my first time trying wireless headphones, and man, I’ve been missing out! I’m notorious for getting my hands tangled in the wires while running, and violently ripping the earbuds out of my ears. It’s a little painful. I was pretty excited when Jabra ROX offered to send me a pair of their Bluetooth wireless headphones to try.

Rox headphones

The sound is crystal clear and AMAZING. They’re also easy to set up and use. At first, I was worried they were too big for my ears, but after using the attachments, they stay put pretty well. I’m excited to see how they pass the “ear sweat” test on a distance run. 

Jabra kindly offered a pair of these for a lucky reader as well (valued at $130!). To enter, just leave a comment below with your current favorite workout song and I’ll pick a lucky winner Monday night at midnight (EST).

Happy Friday! See ya later today for Fitness Fashion Friday.

xoxo

    My favorite song right now is an oldie but a goodie! I can’t stop listening to Miss Jackson by Panic! At The Disco, it gets me fired up!

  2. Kim @ FITsique on August 29, 2014 at 7:17 am

    Awesome pictures! Who knew there was a science to making cookies. I always figure as long as chocolate was involved they were good 😉 I can’t say I have a favorite workout song, but I always love when old pop songs come on (think Nsync or Destiny’s Child). They always make me smile and pick my work out up a little bit.

  3. Nicole on August 29, 2014 at 7:19 am

    It’s hard to pick just one workout song but the first one that came to was Punching in a Dream by The Naked and Famous!

  28. Megan B. on August 29, 2014 at 7:48 am

    For some reason I’m really into the new One Republic song, and Enrique’s new song “Bailando”!

  29. Hannah on August 29, 2014 at 7:49 am

    Current fav is Vance Joy’s Riptide.

  30. Laura @ The Healthy Sooner on August 29, 2014 at 7:50 am

  33. haley @Cupcakes and Sunshine.com on August 29, 2014 at 7:52 am

    I am really liking the song “Sail” by Awolnation. It came on my Pandora channel and really gets me running!

  34. Linda @ Fit Fed and Happy on August 29, 2014 at 7:54 am

    I don’t know what it’s called, but it goes,

    “NO NO NO NO NO NO PLACE I’D RATHER BE”

  35. Linda on August 29, 2014 at 7:56 am

    I don’t think I have a favorite workout song. But I will say that most of my playlists are made up of songs from the 80s. So maybe i can say that’s my favorite workout decade?

  36. Catlin on August 29, 2014 at 7:58 am

    Shake it off by Taylor Swift 🙂

  37. Amanda on August 29, 2014 at 8:01 am

    Don’t laugh- current favorite workout song is No DIggity..I’m still a 90s girl!

  38. Gina H. on August 29, 2014 at 8:01 am

    Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) by Kelly Clarkson always gives me an energy boost!

  39. Niki on August 29, 2014 at 8:01 am

    Ghost by Ella Henderson has been on repeat during my gym visits the last few weeks!

  40. Jean on August 29, 2014 at 8:02 am

    I thought I was gonna be the only one to write this but guess I am wrong. I love All About That Bass for spin. It’s a fun out of the saddle song.

  41. Anne on August 29, 2014 at 8:03 am

    It’s ridiculously cliché but my favorite is still kelly Clarckson, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger haha!

  42. Shelly on August 29, 2014 at 8:05 am

    I need these! My song is random… Clocks by Coldplay.

  43. Kate on August 29, 2014 at 8:07 am

    All about that bass is great.

  44. Ashley {The North Carolina Cowgirl} on August 29, 2014 at 8:12 am

    My favorite songs that get me pumped and moving while working out are “Problem” by Ariana Grande, “Something Bad” Carrie Underwood and Miranda and “Sunshine & Whiskey” by Frankie Ballard. 🙂

  45. Chrissy @ Pink Polish and Running Shoes on August 29, 2014 at 8:14 am

    My current favorite workout song is “Payback” by Rascal Flatts.

  46. Melanie on August 29, 2014 at 8:15 am

    Light em up by Fallout Boy is the best!

  47. Becky on August 29, 2014 at 8:16 am

    Fallout Boy – Light Em Up

  48. Kate D. on August 29, 2014 at 8:17 am

    Since I am in my third trimester and I am doing far less intense workouts these days. I like a lot of instrumental, old blues/ jazz or classic rock. It keeps me revved up for workouts that are much slower and would feel more boring without the intensity I am use to.

  49. Nicole @ Squash on Squash on August 29, 2014 at 8:18 am

    Aahhhh I need new headphones terribly! Mine have completely died. I’m interested to know if these Jabra ones pass the sweat test though- that’s a major selling point for me. My favourite workout song? It’s kind of embarrassing: “Heart Vacancy” by The Wanted (DJ from Mars remix).

  50. Amy on August 29, 2014 at 8:24 am

    Too funny! Someone already said mine-panic at the disco “miss Jackson”- totally inspired by body pump!
