7/12: Friday faves
-Goat’s milk Greek yogurt!
So delicious and an awesome amount of protein.
Lately, I’ve been enjoying it with fresh berries, almonds, a drizzle of local honey + lots of cinnamon.
-Handmade dresses. Remember my airy fairy yoga friend? She made this dress! She brought in some of her pieces to work, all dyed and sewn by hand. Here’s the one I purchased:
Check out the back! It will be an awesome swimsuit coverup,
or I’ll wear it out and about with sandals and pray I can pull it off 😉
-A little date night. We went to North for appetizers and drinks, and it was wonderful. North has been entirely rebranded and revamped — the atmosphere is much more inviting
and they have a fantastic new menu. We shared a vegetarian version of the chef’s board and I had a lovely glass of syrah.
-Almonds all the day. Blue Diamond was a sponsor at Fitbloggin’ and I came home with almonds galore. I’m especially crazy about the new coffee flavors and enjoyed some poured in my cereal yesterday:
-Speaking of swag, my friends at Yes To surprised me with a package of their new body washes and CC creams to try out:
-Also fun: the new LUSH beach gift set. The ocean hair spray smells so heavenly and the salt scrub is like a margarita 😉
-Upcoming vacations! We have a couple of amazing ones in the next couple of months. I can’t wait to take Livi to see Minnie Mouse and attend the IDEA World Convention next month. It’s my first time.. and I’ll get to meet Shaun T. and Chalene! Beyond stoked.
-Going upstairs to watch the monsoon storms with lovebug. I’ve been teaching her the different storm sounds so she won’t be afraid, and she has an awesome thunder impression already 😉
What are you loving right now? Any fun weekend plans?
Hope you have a very happy Friday!
xoxo
Gina

Whoa – not just an impressive amount of protein in that ice cream – nice calcium too!!! I love the tie dyed dress. I think you can definitely pull it off. 🙂 No worries there!
I’m going to a conference tomorrow for Toastmasters – the public speaking organization. Should be fun! Other than that, hoping to veg and enjoy the sunshine. It looks glorious outside!!!!
I’ve had goat greek yogurt before – and it’s SO tasty. I so wish I could eat dairy again. Sometimes, I may do it just to get my hands on that.
I love Lush products – they always have such awesome natural products that I actually feel good buying. Plus they smell amazing.
That greek yogurt looks delicious! And that dress is beyond cute- amazing that it’s homemade!
Liv makin’ me smile like always :). Gorgeous little girl!
I’d love to try out the goat’s milk Greek yogurt! I’m assuming you found it at Whole Foods?
I just did a Friday Favorites post today as well. Seems to be the theme around the healthy living blog world today. 😉
Woah woah look at you! LOVE that dress!! I really do love that back – perfect to wear over a swim suit! wish I had the talent to make clothes like that!
Your little angel is precious 🙂
Love that dress at well. Of course you can totally pull it off.
LOVE the dress! So cute and summery. You can definitely pull it off with sandals! My boyfriend and I went to North a couple of weeks ago…it looks fantastic! They did a good job on redesigning everything. And the food was fantastic.
Love the idea of teaching storms sounds! I will have to keep that in mind after our family expands!
AND YOU GET TO MEET SHAUN T????!!!!!! I AM BEYOND JEALOUS!!!! Please be all sorts of inappropriate and go for a hug! 😉
I love the tye dye dress. I think you can def pull it off for a date night.
I’m jealous you get to meet Chalene! So fun!
I think I must have taken home like 16 of those Blue Diamond Almonds from FitBloggin!
I love that dress! I want one!
I think we are purchasing a new car this weekend. So stoked for that since my old one broke down in CT before the 4th halfway between NYC and Mass! Oh man! Time for a new one!
Happy weekend! 🙂
Love that dress! I’ll be interested to hear what you think of the new Yes To products.
I so wish I could pull off a dress like that! Soooo stinkin fun! Love livi’s thunder face!!!
OMG She is adorable! Cute dress too!!

A long run this weekend and a friend’s party this weekend. I love getting together with old friends.
I saw the coffee flavored one but was iffy abou it, I’ll have to try it out!
Yumm that greek yogurt looks good. Im gonna have to find it when i get home. I love mixing plain greek yog with strawberries and stevia. i am going to have to try adding some cinnamon.
Speaking of Shaun T have you seen his new workout…Focus T25? Its kind of like Insanity but shorter, each video is 25 mins. Its soooo fun. I am at the end of week one and LOVE it. Its def become a top fave fun workout.
Liv is toooo cute with her expressions! She is growing sooo fast!
Have a good weekend!
I loooove Yes To products! I’ve been wanting to switch to their body wash and shampoo/conditioner, but just can’t decide which ones would be best for my skin and hair type. I hope you do a review on some of them, and possibly some giveaways :)!
Like the use of goat milk greek yogurt. Thanks for sharing all this stuff and love the dress.
Ooh I’ve never tried the goat’s milk Greek yogurt before. I’m gonna have to check it out!
I love that dress!! Handmade Sundresses are my absolute fave! Does your friend hav a website by chance where she sells her stuff?? I would love to check it out!
Love the dress! You could totally pull it off!
Please share your thoughts after you try the CC creams.
Have a great weekend, Gina!
ahhhhh I love that pic of you two! SO CUTE GIRL! <3 <3 <3 <3 ahhhh i love the both of you so much! and that dress!? well you just look amazing in it! i would love to get my hands on some of that greek yogurt, too! i have never tried goat yogurt before, but have always wanted to!
That dress looks amazing on you,!! You could totally pull it off for date night!! 🙂
I may have to head down to Lush after seeing those goodies!!
Liv is PRECIOUS by the way!!
That yogurt looks so good!!
We’re going to be down at the lake all weekend (it’s 2 minutes from our home) and enjoy summer! Happy weekend Gina!
That dress…I die…….
Cute pic of baby. When u eat cereal or almonds, do u watch portions? Or just eat it & stop when satisfied?
i do with the almonds, but not so much with the cereal. i just call it good after 2-3 bowls because i could eat a whole box and not be “full.” it helps to eat it with other things
Love the Yesto brand! I actually just contacted them about what would be best for me with newly dx eczema
Fun plans this weekend involve my first half- iron!
Teaching your daughter about the storm sounds so she won’t be afraid…love that idea.
Hey Gina,
Can you review the Yes to Carrots products when you’ve tried them out? I’ve been looking for a new bodywash, and those look great. 🙂
My weekend plans: I’ll be waiting in a massive 3-6 hour line to see the “Rain Room” exhibit at MOMA in NYC. It’s the thing to see right now, second to the “cronut” which has a 200-person line starting at 5:30am! (I will try this delicious croissant-donut hybrid after the hype has died down!)
Cronut: http://ny.eater.com/archives/2013/07/waiting_for_cronuts_is_americas_favorite_new_pastime.php
Rain Room: http://darkroom.baltimoresun.com/2013/05/stunning-photos-from-rain-room-at-the-moma/#1
Sometimes, I question our sanity over here on the East Coast. 😉
sure, i definitely will! i’ve heard about the cronut.. it sounds amazing!
Love the thunderstorm look! So cute. And that dress is beautiful. I think you could totally pull it off for a night out. I love the uniqueness of it.
And where did you get that goat’s milk greek yogurt? WF? Would love to try it!
thank you!!
yep at WF by the goat’s milk yogurt
Meeting Shaun T AND going to Disney?! Wow that is awesome. I’m a wee bit jealous- nah just really happy for ya, that sounds like a dream vacation.
I’m loving my memory foam mattress. We finally replaced our old mattress that was sagging in the middle and the difference has been amazing (I need all the sleeping help I can get at 22 weeks pregnant!).
Your yogurt creation looks delicious!
That dress looks awesome on you! So gorgeous! 🙂
I’m loving the way my kitty will sit at the sliding glass door and move her head side to side as she watches all the birds, chipmunks, and squirrels go by. Then she makes this little squeak sound that just melts my heart.
I have their mocha flavored almonds – soooo good! And that yogurt- where’d you find it? I’m assuming WF. 🙂
yes, WF by the goat’s yogurt
I am new to your website but I am already loving Friday favorites! Greek yogurt is so great. I really like to mix it in chicken salad instead of mayo. Yum. I love that you get to meet and work out with Shaun T and Chalene! They are both amazing trainers. 🙂
That goat milk greek yogurt looks delish!
I’m loving on some pesto right now, and cold press coffee with almond milk! Perfect for summer!
I love that dress, so pretty! And jealous you are meeting Shaun T!!! I love him! Have fun and please post pics 🙂
You’re coming to LA?! Hit me up if you want any suggestions on food, workout, beaches, etc.
I’m heading to Portland, OR this weekend for a road trip with some girls and I’m definitely revisiting your Portland post before I leave – I already googled that ice cream place you mentioned, and since I’m gluten intolerant (sadly, leaving me out of the Voodoo Donut party) I’m definitely going to enjoy some specialty ice cream while I’m there!
Right now I’m loving trashy TV like The Bachelorette, haha! I’m also loving lots of fruit! Currently snacking on fresh strawberries and frozen banana. 🙂
Love ALL THE THINGS in this post, but my heart skipped a beat when you said you’ll get to meet Chalene!!! She’s one of my fitness idols and I’m super crazy for her ChaLEAN Extremd series. Also super crazy for Sasha’s & your new barre burner! Did it earlier and it hurt sooooo good 🙂
I never comment, but wanted to let you know; that dress is AMAZING, and you absolutely an pull it of and MUST put it to use as more than just a swimsuit cover-up!!! Jealous.

The dress looks great on you!
That dress looks gorgeous on you! You can totally pull it off!
I am loving the look of my new hardwood floors that are currently being installed and looking forward to getting married in TWELVE weeks. Eeek!
Livi’s face is divine!!! My girls would love to meet Minnie and all the Princesses, what a lovely time Liv will have!
LOVE the dress – I’m always so nervous about pulling those things off! Wish I could meet Chalene!!
I’ve been wanting to try goat milk greek yogurt but just haven’t. I’ll have to see if my WF’s carries that one. Looks yummy! We almost bought tickets for our anniversary to the IDEA conference mainly to meet Shaun T and Tony Horton! My hubby is a fan as well. Instead we decided to head to the Sonoma/Napa area to a B&B this weekend for some wine tasting, kayaking and hiking through the Redwoods. Can’t wait!
So JEALOUS you are going to IDEA! I was supposed to go but we are now moving that weekend ;( Have a great time and an amazing weekend! Love + Shine CourtStar
