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 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!!)
What I use to clean my Peloton and yoga mats
This super inexpensive yet cute stadium bag
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
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
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.
