Friday Faves
Hellooooo! Happy Friday! New post up on the Family page. Hope your day is off to a great start. Iโm so glad the weekend is here! It feels like this week went by quickly, which is totally ok with me. ๐ Any fun plans this weekend? Weโre getting together with friends for a family dinner tonight and swimming, BBQing tomorrow, and going to make a stop at the beach. We realized that weโve hardly been this year, and definitely want to live it up for the next couple of months.
In standard Friday fashion, here are some of the reads, eats, wears, and randoms from the week. I always love to hear what youโre enjoying too, so please feel free to join in the fun in the comments section! (I have a little almond butter-filled giveaway for ya, too.)
Pizza Port nights with the fam.
Port, itโs been way too long.
How to bring sexy back after childbirth.
3 things every yogi must know about the anatomy of the spine.
This version of “Uptown Funk” with 280 movies.
So you want to write a food blog. “Quinoa is excellent for every meal because its texture is a reminder that life canโt always be smooth or digestible.”
I spent a month replying to all of my PR emails with โI love you.โ <โ I laughed so hard I cried a little.
MYHABIT. <โreferral link (you get $20 to spend, too). I was really stoked when I got some Maaji bikinis for half price earlier this summer, and have been casually scoping it out here and there in case anything awesome came up. It definitely happened. Last week, I picked up this MARC by Marc Jacobs bag and it was almost $100 off. Iโd been wanting a new one for fall, so it was destiny, really. ๐
Signs that your workouts are too intense.
This smoothie from Tiki Port:
I donโt know what itโs called but itโs almond milk, banana, peanut butter, chia seeds, honey and cinnamon. I added kale and strawberries to it, and it was like a green PBJ smoothie.
What a 107-year-old poet can teach you about mindfulness. I love the reminder to look for beauty in the drudgery.
So excited to make this copycat TJโs salad; itโs one of my faves.
Giveaway time!!
These snack packs from Justinโs! They have them at Target, and we took a bunch with us on our Tucson trip. This was the last one, and Iโm glad I snapped a quick photo before it was quickly hijacked. I asked Liv to share and she gave me 3 sad pretzels haha.
(The container is made from 100% recycled plastic)
My friends at Justinโs kindly offered to send some free coupons to a lucky reader if youโd like to try the snack packs for yourself. Theyโre gluten-free pretzel sticks with Justinโs almond butter and absolutely delicious. Just leave a comment below with something youโre loving, or a current favorite snack. ๐ Iโll announce the winner in Monday amโs post.
Happy Friday!

Current favorite snack is all the yummy summer produce available to me right now!
Hi! My latest go-to snack is a big scoop of Greek yogurt mixed with any nut butter. Then I find something to dip– usually apples or pretzels! So good and a nice protein boost!
My current favorite snack is hard boiled eggs. Random but tasty.
I’ve been loving quick HIIT workouts lately! When I’m short on time, nothing gets me sweating like intense cardio intervals!
I’m trying to soak up all the fresh fruit I can before summer leaves us! In the spirit of the Justin’s giveaway, there is nothing that a spoonful of PEANUT BUTTER won’t cure!
I’m loving banana covered in almond butter.
My favorite snack is Persian cucumbers and hummus. YUMMY!
plain oikos yogurt with PBfit.
Favorite snack: little mini mozzarella balls and veggies!
Mmmm favorite snack is banana with AB or hummus and carrots!
I am loving smoothie bowls for breakfast this summer! Toppings make it more fun – chia, hemp, granola, and/or Justin’s
I’m almost 26 weeks pregnant and I can’t get enough Greek yogurt sprinkled with mixture dried cranberries and nuts. Sweet and salty, crunchy and cold. Win win!
Current favorite snack would have to be cottage cheese with a sprinkle of pepper. Super simple, but super delicious!
favorite snack lately has been a hard boiled egg. ๐
I’m loving homemade peach Popsicles made with peaches from the tree in our backyard!
Just tried my first acai bowl. Loved!
Green smoothies with mango!
something i’m loving- cuban food! had some awesome platonos maduros this weekend!
Those look delicious!
I’ve been loving reading The Girl on the Train! Seriously cannot put it down. It would go great with some Justin’s Snack Packs! : )
