5 Things to Do This Friday
Hi friends 😀 Happy weekend! Hope your morning is treating you well. Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my last post <3
So what are you up to this weekend?
If you’re not sure where the night will take you,
here are 5 fit, fun, foodie, fab, feel-good ways to take your Friday:
1. Fit: After work today, meet up with a workout buddy and try a new fitness class. Rock climbing, pole dancing, kettlebells, Dance Trance (!), hot yoga, Zumba and spin are all great options.
Already worked out this morning? Take a walk after dinner 🙂
2. Fun: movie night! Something about going to the movies on a Friday night feels sooooooo good. I still kinda want to the see the Justin Beiber movie. Any takers? Haha.
3. Foodie: try a new recipe for dinner, or plan a legendary weekend meal.
Here are some recipes that are on my radar:
Butternut squash mac n’ cheese
Or, just make a legendary dessert… like a pizookie 😀
3. Fab: LOTS of online shopping deals this weekend!
30% off sale + free shipping at J Crew
Free shipping on Nordstrom shoes
Free shipping deals at Saks and Banana
Coupon codes at VS (Spring11)
I’m still trying to convince the Pilot that I NEED this tote:
It’s reversible, so it’s really like two purses 😉
Feel-good: Book a massage, manicure/pedicure or facial. It will give you a spring treat to look forward to, and I promise you won’t regret it.
Try a slow and restorative yoga class (like Yin Yoga)
Or, you can always just take a lovely nap.
(surrounded by all of your favorite toys)
I just munched a bowl of b-fast cookie dough cereal:
and am going to take Bell for a walk before work.
See ya later today, lovelies <3
xoxo
Gina
Sending love and prayers to my friends in Japan today <3

Happy Weekend friend! Come over and we can make that dessert again!! We need Lindsey too!!!! Lots of love! I love that purse too, I actually first saw it a couple weeks back on another blog, some girl wanted it too!!! <3 xoxo
I am so glad it is Friday!
Gina I love this post — makes me want to plan something really fun this weekend! And I’m seriously considering making pizookies now 🙂
I love the pup picture! And I totally agree with your 5 things…. these will also be in my weekend plans!!
Yay weekend. I love all of these suggestions. I’m on spring break so I just might give all of them a try. 😀
Oh my gosh that bag is beautiful… I hope you can convince him 😉
me too!!
Love that list!
It is my experience that when something is on sale, or reversible, you are cheating yourself to not buy it!
I think my daughter and I will go see the Beiber tonight. She’s been dying to see it. Then kids have 4 soccer games tomorrow and the Azalea Festival; beautiful here this time of year as you know.
<3 japan <3 and praying that BC, Canada stays safe from the warnings, as well as the people in Hawaii, apparently there were already 7 foot waves..
We are trying out new food tonight with friends, African! should be interesting, and possibly a movie night as well, should be nice.
awesome list…i unfortunately will be at work ALL day. but there’s dinner and movie comin up tonite. so yay. my thoughts and prayers to Japan…
Have a fabulous weekend Gina!!!
LOVE this post – unfortunately shopping is out of the question, but I am trying something new tomorrow – my first 10k! I’m scared to death and totally excited! Have a great weekend!
Loved the Bieber movie! I wasn’t a big fan before taking my 13 year old daughter to see it but now I’ve seen it 4 times! He is very talented. Cute story. But watch out for the Bieber fever that might set in…haha.
LOL — that’s at LEAST the second time you’ve mentioned your Bieber-Fever desire to see that movie 😉 hehehe! Have a lovely Friday!
Is anyone besides me SUPER excited to see Red Riding Hood? It comes out today!!
Haha I love that you said..”it’s really like two purses” 🙂 so cute!
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your weekend!
I’m praying for the people of Japan as well as others that have been/will be affected by the earthquake…
I love your list today! I’ll be spending my weekend in the Big Apple…super excited! Have a great day!
I love your list of ways to jazz up your Friday. For some strange reason, I love to dress up a bit on Fridays. My coworkers laugh (with me) at my rejection of the usual casual Friday attire, but I always feel like my Friday is going to be a great day if I put a little extra effort into my appearance. Feeling great on the outside generally translates to feeling great on the inside too! It’s a great way to kick off the weekend!
I’ll go see the Biebs movie with you 🙂
What on EARTH is a pizookie?! It looks so yummy delicious!
Ohhhh… I think a pizookie would be a perfect night-before-the-race treat…
Good to know there’s sales and free shipping at a lot of the stores I like– thanks for the update 🙂
Have a wonderful weekend!
Great ideas! And why don’t more purse companies make reversable bags? That’s such a neat idea! 🙂
Bahaha… I saw the J Bieb movie last night (after insisting I would never do it), and actually LOVED it. I also have no shame in admitting that! Go see it!!! 🙂
hahah ok, i will 🙂
I really want a pizookie now!…I think I will use the vegan almod butter chocolate chip cookie recipe as the base 😉
doooo it 🙂
Yummmmm pizookie sounds so good! Happy Friday!
For my feel-good friday I went to the gym with my best friend and ran 3miles 🙂 Then out for breakfast (fruit for me). My best friend is donating one of her kidney to her 2 year old son in two weeks and I just love that time with her. She’s amazing!
Love all the ideas! The weather is so nice today, I’m definitely going for a run after work! Friday night movies are the BEST, too! No movie for me tonight, but I am having a nice dinner out with my family. 😀
Love that purse, too! I wish I didn’t know it existed, because now I want it…
Love the bag!!
Happy Weekend Gina! I am SO pumped to relax this weekend – this week at work has been ridiculous and I’m ready for some severe R&R and delicious meals! And for the record… I kinda want to see the Justin Beiber movie too!
let’s go!
Have a good weekend! And mmm to pizookies!
I am happy it is Friday too!!! Love this post 🙂
Love the ideas, SO want to try dance trance, and thanks for the recipe links. And of course you have to have that bag – duh!
Gina, what a great post! Way to cover all the ways to a girls’ heart!
That pizookie looks amaze 🙂
I can’t help but be a little jealous of your weather – conducive to outdoor activities. Here in Wisconsin, you can really tell the winter and lack of sunshine is taking its toll on people – tempers are a little shorter than normal. So, I clean up the house, daydream about my garden for when the time comes and take my 14 year old puppy outside to play in the snow. Come on Spring! Take care and have a wonderful weekend – by the way, ordered the Sunwarrior Protein Powder for the first time – I can’t wait to try it!
A massage is exactly what I need right now!! And maybe some Justin Bieber in 3D too 😉
What a great post, Gina!
I love the workout suggestions in the first item. And the relaxing feel-good things like a massage 🙂
And great coupon codes/shopping ideas…I actually got a few of those in my inbox, too 🙂 Makes me want to indulge in some retail therapy! haha!
Enjoy your Friday, sweetie! 🙂
Reader’s request: Pizzekfastcookie!!! Why not enjoy the best of both worlds, eh? 😉 Perhaps a la mode con un poquito de banana soft serve?
Damelo.
Happy weekend!
youre a genius 🙂
I think those five things should be a part of every day!!! 🙂
However today I am going to be a couch potato and wrap myself up in blankets and heating pads because I just got slammed with the infection from hell. 🙁 However I will take that as a sign that spring is coming!!
Umm how many times can I use “however” in one comment? Sheesh. I’m going to go take a nap now 😉
This post got me really excited for the weekend : )
You MUST see the JBiebs movie AND try the butternut squash mac n cheeze – i made it last night! Great post!
We’re definitely doing the movie thang at home tonight. First day of spring break for schools and go figure, we get a blizzard in ND with roads closing left and right. Oh well, I didn’t want to go anywhere anyways since I didn’t have to teach today. ;)Enjoy your weekend!!
You obviously need this purse, I mean those purses 😉
haha! my thoughts exactly
“I’m still trying to convince the Pilot that I NEED this tote: It’s reversible, so it’s really like two purses” 😀 This is why I luv ya G !! BRILLIANT
Love that picture of Viesa – so cute!
Haha, my dog does that too… we call it the “bichon blitz”… tehre are at least 3 blitzes a day. silly puppies!
Great weekend ideas!
Hope yours is fabulous.
Took your advice on the FIT part and tried a Rock Your Asana class at a local yoga studio! So fun, and it helped lift my spirits 🙂
