9.7 Friday Faves (and a giveaway)

Hi friends! I hope youโ€™re having a wonderful weekend! Iโ€™m popping in with a little belated Friday Faves this week. Some happy news: Maisey is 100% better! (I shared more about her mysterious jaw issue in this post) We saw enormous improvement by Monday, and thankfully, sheโ€™s back to her ball-chasing, happy little self.

I talked to the vet about her fetch obsession and she said itโ€™s actually good for her jaw, and could be part of the reason why she was able to restore function so quickly.

9.7 Friday Faves (and a giveaway)

This week was a busy one and Iโ€™m still trying to figure out how to do the club basketball + dance + homework + dinner scramble. It feels like each day is two full days: the work day, and then the after-school/evening *day*. If you have any favorite quick dinner recipes, please send them my way!! Iโ€™ve been making a lot of the same things lately and want to switch it up. Meal prep has been a gamechanger, too!

Iโ€™m definitely looking forward to a chill weekend, a dinner with friends, a Sculpt Society workout, and catching up on work stuff.

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.

Fashion + beauty + random:

Iโ€™d been looking for a new go-to everyday lipstick and decided to try Lawless, since it has cleaner ingredients. I LOVE it. It has a smooth texture and lasts for quite a while. The color I chose is Posey.

Oliveda has seen enormous growth in the past 18 months – itโ€™s really exciting to see and be a part of it! If youโ€™re interested in joining as an affiliate, here is my link!

Just got this Amazon set to wear when Iโ€™m working at home and itโ€™s super cute and comfy!

Read, watch, listen:

I canโ€™t wait for this memoir.ย 

Fun home decor ideas.

Fitness, health, life, and good eats:

Weighted vest. Iโ€™ve been using this to add extra resistance to walks on my walking pad, or in the morning when Iโ€™m out with Maisey. I went with the 8-lb weight, which has been a good starting weight. (I think 5-8lb is a good starting weight for women, and you can always build up from there.)

You need to try these collagen brownies.
