9.27 Friday Faves

Hi friends! Happy Friday! Whatโ€™s going on this weekend? We have a new baby in the family! Iโ€™m so so excited for Trevor and Danielle, and of course, canโ€™t 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, itโ€™s fall festival, Liv and I have a National Charity League event, aaaand weโ€™re meeting up at the movies with some friends. Iโ€™m hoping we can sneak in Halloween decorations, too! Iโ€™d love to hear what youโ€™re up to.

SO pumped to announce the winner of our September giveaway. Sheโ€™s getting a whole boatload of wellness goodies ๐Ÿ™‚ Congrats to Jamie J.! Iโ€™ll be reaching out with the details on how to claim your prize.

Stay tuned for our October giveaway and my annual Favorite Things giveaway will be coming up soon, too.

Itโ€™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 youโ€™re loving in the comments section below.

Read, watch, listen:

Watch the full senate hearing from this week here! Iโ€™m 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 isnโ€™t a partisan issue; we all want our kids to have the opportunity to live healthier lives. Thereโ€™s no reason why the quality of our food should be so poor compared to other countries. Iโ€™ll 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. Iโ€™m not quite sure what Iโ€™m 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 youโ€™re looking for apple recipes, here ya go!

Three upbeat workout playlists.

Alright, weโ€™re off to fall festival!

Have a happy weekend and Iโ€™ll see ya soon.

xoxo

    Ohhhh whatI caught of the senate hearing was amazing!! I didnโ€™t hear all of it, but have plans to finish listening. Itโ€™s about time these topics get more attention! Iโ€™m 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.
