9.27 Friday Faves
Hi friends! Happy Friday! Whatโs going on this weekend? We have a new baby in the family! Iโm so so excited for Trevor and Danielle, and of course, canโt wait to get those baby meals going. Other than baby excitement, we have a lot going on this weekend. Liv is getting her solo choreography, P has a basketball game, itโs fall festival, Liv and I have a National Charity League event, aaaand weโre meeting up at the movies with some friends. Iโm hoping we can sneak in Halloween decorations, too! Iโd love to hear what youโre up to.
SO pumped to announce the winner of our September giveaway. Sheโs getting a whole boatload of wellness goodies ๐ Congrats to Jamie J.! Iโll be reaching out with the details on how to claim your prize.

Itโs 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 youโre loving in the comments section below.

Huge Madewell sale! I love Madewell but especially love it for fall. They always have amazing boots, fall dresses, and sweaters. Itโs 25% off for Insiders – you simply sign up with your email address – and an extra 40% off sale.
Some of my top picks from the sale:
The perfect vintage wide leg jean (but not toooo wide).
This denim skirt is so cute with button-up tops, sweaters, and flats.
Obsessed with these knee-high boots.
Flower statement stud earrings.

Read, watch, listen:
Watch the full senate hearing from this week here! Iโm so fired up after this incredible event, and so thankful to the powerful and eduated voices that spoke. From one of my favorite MDs to follow online, Dr. Casey Means, to Jillian Michaels, Vani Hari, and Max Lugavere, it makes me hopeful that true change will happen here in the states. This isnโt a partisan issue; we all want our kids to have the opportunity to live healthier lives. Thereโs no reason why the quality of our food should be so poor compared to other countries. Iโll be doing a full podcast episode about my thoughts on all of this next week!
Let your children see you slow down.
Fitness, health, life, and good eats:
I went to San Diego last weekend to attend the Lagree Level 1 certification workshop at DEFINE. Iโm not quite sure what Iโm going to do with this new information… but if anyone is looking to invest in a Tucson Lagree studio, let me know! (Kidding but not really lol.)
The best part of it was spending time with Betsy! We Lagreed it up, and also had amazing San Diego food, and I slept in their guest room (where I binged multiple episodes of Emily and Paris each night. It was a glorious treat!!)
If youโre looking for apple recipes, here ya go!
Three upbeat workout playlists.
Alright, weโre off to fall festival!
Have a happy weekend and Iโll see ya soon.

Ohhhh whatI caught of the senate hearing was amazing!! I didnโt hear all of it, but have plans to finish listening. Itโs about time these topics get more attention! Iโm excited to hear your thoughts on it!
I hope you can listen to more this weekend – it was seriously so good
Wanted to note the Senate roundtable was not an official committee hearing, nor a bipartisan event. Given the leads, I point this out not to be argumentative, but rather to highlight there is a partisan effort here that may be misleading in some ways. Congressional committee hearings with a panel generally include witnesses from both sides and also have members participating from both sides of the aisle.
You’re right, I should refer to it as a roundtable, but don’t understand how it was partisan in any way. I’m not sure how the other side would be able to defend the use of food dyes, endocrine disruptors, plastics in our food, poor water quality, and glyphosate. I think this is an issue we can all agree on. Some people have politically-driven biases towards some of the speakers, but they were speaking truth and left politics completely out of the conversation.
