11/1: Friday Faves
An amazing Halloween with the fam. I can’t believe how much our little sushi roll has grown in the past year!
Last year:
This year:
My heart <3
After work, I met up with a couple of girlfriends for a quick sangria and planning for a huge Soli Beat event, and then came home to get Livi ready for Halloween festivities. We had a delicious dinner at my dad’s house and then went out with my nana, dad, stepmom, cousins and aunt around their neighborhood. Last year, we brought Bell with us, but decided to leave her at home with Caroline this year. They probably loved barking at all the trick-or-treaters.
After a some trick-or-treating (which Livi LOVED– she wanted to eat all the candy as she got it), the Pilot met up with us and we went over to Kyle and Meg’s. My mom, uncle, aunt and cousins met us there, too.
This year’s sushi roll: Luna.
(the garnish kills me)
It was a wonderful night <3
More faves from the week:
How yoga can change your body. I’m a believer!
Speaking of yoga, I got a few emails about the tank I was wearing in the asana workout pics. My friend Erin (aka the Bad Yogi) designed them and sent me one. She’s part of an amazing new campaign to make high-quality yoga classes accessible for a very low cost, called MyYogaPro. You can check out all the details here!
This video that made a tough mom (and me) cry.
Fitspiration posters corrected. Thank you to Lindsey for sending this along!
Some new flats! I’ve been wanting a pair of animal print ones, and found these at that fancy French store (Tarjay) for $16. BOOM.
Mark Twain’s top 9 tips for living a kick-ass life. Amen.
The importance of kindness, especially when little eyes and ears are watching and learning from you.
My new favorite lip color. My friend Jess mentioned these this week, too – I like to think/pretend we’re besties even though we’ve never met. Creepy?- and I recently replenished my stash. The last one I used until the very end! They are vibrant lip stain colors, but instead of drying, they’re smooth and moisturizing. Walgreens had them for buy-one-get-one 50% off, too:
The Knockout November Workout Calendar! If you’re a newsletter subscriber, you should have received the password yesterday. I hope you love it <3
Soli Beat flash sale! The $15 sale ends TODAY (regular price $26.99)– get yours before they’re gone!
Happy November!

Hello! Nice post! Signing up for the newsletter. 🙂 Thanks!
Gotta have the garnish. Loving those cheetah flats!
Finally figuring out how to sign up for the newsletter! Looking forward to the November workout! 🙂
Gah! Luna! I can’t handle it. I love those flats, I want to get a pair!
Ok, I am SO confused if ANYONE commenting can help me out. I’m from Canada and I had heard that the US calls “target” tar-jay, and I thought it was a cruel joke someone was playing on me. Is this really how majority call it, and it is just a national joke as well that’s become the norm?!?! I seriously am missing out on life I think hahah
Ps – those flats are indeed super cute!!
The norm in the US to pronounce it Target but ‘tarjay’ (said as if it’s French) is a common enough joke that if you say it that way, you won’t confuse anyone, either.
Gina- I bought three of those lip stains back when Meg mentioned them here. I like them. That one looks like a nice color. Do you know the name?
the color is “romantic”
Yay! I finally found out how to sign up for your newsletter!

Hi Gina!!!
I think you have posted information on this before but what are your go to yoga websites for practicing at home?
I would really love to go to Yoga at a studio more often, unfortunately my schedule seems to get in the way!
Which color of the lip stain do you like? Looks like “romantic” maybe?
yep, that’s it!

Sushi Roll is hilarious – I’ve never seen that!! I’m loving those flats. They look comfy and not stiff. Got to love Target! TGIF

Can’t wait to do the November workout! The garnish on the sushi costume is hysterical!
I love those flats and I tried your kick your asana workout and it was fun!
thank you!
Hope to still get an email with password to try knockout november! I NEED something to help keep me on track through the holidays. my office always has candy, cookies, cake, pizza, etc. So tempting… 🙁
Cute flats. This is totally unrelated to the post but just wondering what is your favorite bar to eat as a snack? Kind, Larabar etc Thanks
i used to love larabar, but stopped buying them due to the general mills funding to keep GMOs a secret from consumers. i really like the vega sport bars (chocolate coconut) and the goodonya bars. my absolute favorite (right now) are these homemade paleo bars: http://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/01/recipe-paleo-and-vegan-chewy-granola.html
Can’t wait to check out the November workout!!
Oh my gosh, sushi roll puppy is so cute!! What an adorable idea. I’ve also used those lip stains and I really like them too!
Glad to see you had a great Halloween! The MyYogaPro idea would be amaze…I always want to take yoga classes but they are just so expensive after awhile that I sometimes end up searching for free videos online. Hey, whatever works, right?
I’m excited to start getting the newsletter!
Great links today – thanks for sharing! Glad you had such a fun Halloween – Liv looks adorable, as always 🙂
I love that Mark Twain link!! Also, Stella is ADORBS in that sushi roll costume!
I love Bad Yogi’s project – thanks for introducing us. However, not sure I appreciate being referred to as ‘the masses’!!
haha i just mean to everyone. yoga isn’t accessible everywhere!
Love those Revlon lip colors. You should try the color honey. Perfect for every season!
ohh i will try it!
Wow Livi is so grown up! I love that she was sushi last year 🙂 So cute! Oh and I tried making BBQ kale chips (but I was really short on time so I just dumped bbq sauce on top and OMG…it was one of the best things I’ve ever had!) Two heads of kale were consumed within two days with that method 😉
genius- i’ll try that!
Can’t wait to try the workout

Too cute! Although I absolutely love Livi’s Halloween costume, I just want to scoop up that little sushi doggie. How did they keep it from trying to shake off that garnish? Haha — I need tips for my little pup! 🙂
Someone needs to put those emended Fitspo posters on Pinterest! I’ve always been frustrated by that type of message, and those corrections give me the chuckles.
She looks so cute!! And I love the dog pumpkin!
the sushi roll costumes are great!!!! I love it. happy weekend! xo
Liv looks so adorable! Luna, too. 😉
