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

    Like many fans here (hello t-swifties!) I’m unashamedly jamming out to “Shake it off.”

  3. Lauren on August 30, 2014 at 8:48 am

    I always make sure to put Flo Rida “I Cry” on all my running playlists. It always gives me a burst of energy!

    Oooh, those earbuds sound great — I’m always getting tangled up in the wires when I run too! 🙂

    I’ve been listening to a lot of Florence + the Machine when I run lately — Say My Name (Spectrum) is one of my new favorites!

  11. Molly on August 30, 2014 at 10:09 am

  15. Jessica C on August 30, 2014 at 11:33 am

    My favorite running or Zumba song would have to be ‘Hit the Floor’ by Twista and Pitbull. When that song starts, I feel like I could go for miles!

  16. Emily on August 30, 2014 at 11:47 am

    I’m all about the bass…

    • Kathy on August 30, 2014 at 12:35 pm

      Oooh – Colleen – just saw this after my comment. You might love the Home Free cover of All About the Bass too (my current new favorite group – happens to be acapella) It comes across different (not better but good) when it’s 5 hot guys singing it in support of women! It’s on YouTube

  20. Kathy on August 30, 2014 at 12:33 pm

    Well really it’s Ms. Swift right now too but to be original, I’m also LOVING the awesome cover of “American Kids” by my favorite acapella group, Home Free (these amazing talents are not to be missed – check out their cover of Ring of Fire on YouTube too – over 2 M views in a month – love them!)

  21. Kelly B on August 30, 2014 at 12:34 pm

    It’s tough to choose one, but Don’t Stop by Foster the People is always great halfway through a workout!

  22. Leah on August 30, 2014 at 12:40 pm

    Taylor Swift Shake it Off!!

  23. Hayley on August 30, 2014 at 12:46 pm

  27. Jaclyn on August 30, 2014 at 1:46 pm

  34. Chrystal J on August 30, 2014 at 3:48 pm

    This is mildly embarrassing but my favorite workout song is “4 Minutes” by Madonna and JT. And the song isn’t even 4 minutes long lol!

  35. Lindsey on August 30, 2014 at 4:25 pm

    My fav workout song is definitely a little crass but gets the job done….”Anaconda” by Niki Minaj Did you see her insane VMA performance? oh my. lol

  36. Claire K on August 30, 2014 at 4:28 pm

    Chandelier by Sia is at the top of the list!

  37. Irina on August 30, 2014 at 4:35 pm

    I’m loving Pitbull’s ‘Fireball’ for just about anything – workouts, getting ready to go out, dancing, etc. 🙂

  38. Molly@This Life Is Sparkling on August 30, 2014 at 4:58 pm

    Shake It Off by T-Swizzle!

  39. Beth on August 30, 2014 at 5:06 pm

    Man, wireless headphones sound too good to be true! Lately I’m loving running to Bang Bang by Nicki Minaj, Ariana Grande, and Jesse J!

  40. Samantha on August 30, 2014 at 5:21 pm

    Faster by Matt Nathanson-it’s one of those songs you just have to go all out too. It gets me fired up and I play a game where I sprint every time I hear the chorus. Infectious!

  41. Laurie on August 30, 2014 at 5:46 pm

    Current favorite workout song = Rather Be ft. Jess Glyne. Love that song so much!

  42. Jessica mason on August 30, 2014 at 5:54 pm

    Thunder clatter by wild cat!

  43. Sally G. on August 30, 2014 at 6:03 pm

    Black Widow by Iggy Azalea claims the top spot, but I also have been really into VaVaVoom by Nicki Minaj.

  47. Sydney@Project Sydney on August 30, 2014 at 6:58 pm

    While working out I seriously have a thing for boy bands (no shame!). Right now my workout jam is definitely “Classic” by MKTO! In the past a serious favorite was “What Makes You Beautiful” by 1-D. haha!

  48. Amy H. on August 30, 2014 at 8:12 pm

    Eminem – ‘Til I Collapse

  49. Caitlyn @ City and the Cubicle on August 30, 2014 at 8:47 pm
