Friday Faves
Hi friends! Happy FriYAY. Whatโs going on this weekend? Iโm looking forward to enjoying more of IDEA World, learning from the top instructors in the industry, taking classes, and catching up with blog friends. Iโll be back with a full recap next week, and Iโd love to hear what youโre up to this weekend! While being back in San Diego is definitely a fave (especially after the moving insanity), here are some more faves and finds from the week.
Fashion + beauty:
I ordered some of the new Lazy Day scrunchies, thinking theyโd be cute to wear with gym clothes, and when I took them out of the bag, P said, โOh I like those! I want those!โ So of course, most of them became hers. She wore the yellow one for 3 days straight.
Food + recipes:
New Paleo English muffins. I picked these up at Whole Foods and was pleasantly surprised! I feel like Barely Bread has a weird dry and doughy texture, but these taste a little more like a real English muffin. Bahama Bucks! We were on a mission to find shaved ice in Tucson – the girls are obsessed – and came across Bahama Bucks. Itโs HUGE, they have a drive-thru (WHAT), and they have so many flavors. The best part is that you can add ice cream, condensed milk, sprinkles, Tajin (#tucsonlife) to any of the flavors. I loved the birthday cake, but next time Iโm getting mango with Tajin on top. Pic by Livi: The only type of pic I can get of the girls lately haha. Little goofers. Breakfast at Le Buzz. Their avocado toast is life, and of course, we had to share the chocolate croissant.
Fitness:
BollyX. Iโll definitely be recapping all of the fitness fun from IDEA, but I got to take a short BollyX class yesterday and LOVED it. I had the biggest goobery smile on my face he entire time. Itโs so high-energy and fun, and it was really cool that they used fused Bollywood with more hip hop style moves. It was a blast and I canโt wait to do it again tomorrow. (They have a lot of videos on their YouTube channel) Theracane. I picked this up at the Expo and am so stoked about using it regularly. I have a stress ball on my left shoulder that Iโve had pretty much my entire life. You press the Theracane into any tight areas and hold it until the tension releases. It feels heavenly. Before bed last night, I was sitting in the hotel bed, pushing the Theracane into my back and watching Shameless. Livinโ the dream haha. Tips to run a faster mile.
Read, watch, listen:
Check out the latest episode of the podcast here! The Pilot and I talk about our family mentality, some of the our strategies to make our relationship stronger, and stress management tips. You canโt change or fix people, so listen instead. A $1 birthday gift for kiddos. Happy weekend, friends! xoxo Gina Congratulations to the winners of the Four Sigmatic giveaway: Amber P. and Katie S. I have another one going on on Instagram here if youโd like another chance to enter! xo
My mom was a waitress for a while when I was a kid, and I LOVED to play with her order pads! Have a great weekend!
i’m going to get some for liv- she’s going to love them!
OMG OMG from one Tucson-dweller to another, THANK YOU for the recommendation!
OMG OMG from one Tucson-dweller to another, THANK YOU for the recommendation! Bahama Bucks sounds like a must-visit.
you HAVE TO GO. i can’t wait to go back next week!!!
Oh my goodness IT IS SO GOOD! I got birthday cake, my bf got sour pink lemonade, and Gemma the dog got a vanilla ice cream. We all already want it again. I just wish it wasn’t so far up Broadway! Bahama Bucks, are you listening?! Open a franchise closer to downtown Tucson!
YAY i’m glad you loved it, too! i think we’re going to go again this week. so good! and yes, they should totally open one by campus
Is P wearing DotDot Smile? My daughter is obsessed with those dresses, we have quite a few.
yes! she loves their dresses!
Can I just say, the Theracane is maybe the best purchase you’ll make in your life! I had plantar facciitis and sciatica issues last year and I stumbled on the Theracane and it is the best tool for pain relief. I love, love, love mine!
so glad to hear it’s helped you, too! i love that thing <3
I absolutely love your picks! It looks like those hair bands are out of stock but hopefully they restock in more colors ๐ Did you see the comments under your guest check gift recommendation? So many good ideas! Have a great weekend!
yes, so many awesome ideas! i saved the post for stocking stuffer ideas later ๐
Hi again Gina! Did the scrunchies hold up? I’d like to purchase when they restock. Just curious if they held the hair. Maybe not enough for working out but just for fun? Fine hair?
They held up amazingly. I bought some cheaper ones on amazon but the lazy day ones are way better
Thanks for the link to BollyX videos! I can’t wait to try them out!! I’ve been a fan of Doonya dance fitness and this seems pretty similar.
ohh if you like doonya, you’ll love these! they’re very similar but with a little more funk/swagger ๐
