7.12 Friday Faves (and a giveaway!)

Hi friends! How are you? Happy Friday to ya! What’s going on this weekend? I blocked off this morning so I could take the kiddos to the museum and bowling, tomorrow, we’re going out, and Sunday, we’re swimming with friends.

Monsoon season is here and it’s been such a welcome treat from the 110-degree scorching oven.

(This week’s reading + tubes for my Women’s Wellness test)

I’d love to hear what you have going on!

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

7.12 Friday Faves

Fashion + beauty + random:

Reader Faves for June! It’s always fun to look through analytics and see which products you love the most that I’ve shared here on the blog.

Here are the top picks for June:

My favorite bikini – on sale now, too! It’s functional, flattering, great fabric, and actually covers your booty

This gel moisturizer

This travel dress! I wore this walking around Sevilla with white Vejas

My go-to cleanser (that I can actually use with my super sensitive eyes)

This Farm Rio STUNNER (on sale, too!!)

This matte bronzer stick

What I use to clean my Peloton and yoga mats

This super inexpensive yet cute stadium bag

SkinMedica SPF moisturizer

This amazing anti-aging skin cream (in stock right now, too!)

Nordstrom Sale is still going strong! I’ll be updating this post with all of the currently in-stock items before public access goes live, but in the meantime, you can browse all of my favorites here.

Some of the top sellers so far:

These Chelsea boots – Liv and I both have and love these

This gorgeous pendant necklace

Comfy and cute pocket joggers

The best kids’ rain boots

These flare jeans! I can’t wait for my pair to arrive 🙂

Double pack of my fave cleanser

This thing saved my life when the girls were babies! If you’re expecting (or know someone who is and you’re looking for an awesome gift), I highly, highly recommend it

This classic everyday dress

The perfect black pant! They truly are perfection and I wear them with flats, heels, and boots all fall and winter

These beautiful and silky travel pajamas

Read, watch, listen:

We watched the Celine Dion documentary and while it was devastating, it was very well-done. I keep praying for her healing. Her voice is such a gift to the world and it brings her so much joy, too.

Nurturing meaningful connections offline.

Don’t forget to check out this week’s podcast episode here.

Fitness, health, and good eats:

Making this paella tonight! It won’t be the same, but I can try lol.

Spicy peanut soba noodle salad.

You need this tart in your life.
