Friday Faves
Hi friends! Happy Friday! Three cheers for the weekend. Baby August is still cooking right now โ his due date was Monday โ so weโre still waiting to welcome the little guy into the world. We canโt wait to meet him and who knows, maybe heโll make his appearance this weekend?! Other than that, weโre looking forward to some fun events. The Pilot is busy studying for airline interviews (WAHOO) and weโll be headed to a festival for Livโs school, a date night with some friends from the gym, and getting some gardening done. Iโd love to hear what you have going on!
Itโs time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of the things Iโm lovinโ from the week, and I always enjoy hearing about your faves, too.
(Always a fave: having tacos twice in one week with this crew. We went to Blanco Tacos last night and it was liiiife.)
Fashion + beauty:
How cute are these slides?
Donโt forget that Beautycounter is still 15% off through Monday! Now is the time to stock up on all the good stuff.
Ordering a couple of these tee dresses to wear with low tops.
Shopbop sale ends tonight! Iโm loving this shirtdress, these shorts, this top and skirt combo, this jumpsuit, this luggage set, and these sandals.
Read, watch, listen:
I guess I need to go to NYC this summer.
A Les Misรฉrables Miniseries is coming and Iโm so here for it.
How I ditched my phone and unbroke my brain.
How to choose peace when youโre under pressure.
9 cookbooks that earn their keep.
Is it too early to be excited about this?
Things I wish my therapist would say to me but never does.
Totally buying this gift for myself.
Fitness:
To be honest, I got kind of burned out with gym workouts and solo training and thatโs why I transitioned to a lot of group fitness classes in addition to my teaching schedule. This past week, I felt inspired to hit the gym and get in a couple of solid solo strength sessions. It felt good to be in charge on my own strength component (I usually feel like muscle groups are lacking in Orangetheory since I only go once a week) and the best part was that the gym was nearly empty.
A prenatal workout for my expecting mama and postpartum friends.
An interesting workout you can do anywhere for some incredible potential benefits.
Good eats:
Beeโs Wrap! This is going in the good eats category because you use it to wrap up leftover good eats. ๐ Iโm really trying to minimize a few things in my life right now: plastic bags, plastic wrap, and paper towels. For a while, I got really good at using cloth instead of paper towels and fell out of the habit. For the plastic bags and wrap, itโs been really easy to use Beeโs Wrap instead. It seals everything extremely well, sticks a little so it stays in place (you just warm it with your hands) and is easy to wash and clean. Even though Iโll often wash and reuse re-sealable plastic bags, this is a much better option for the long term.
This looks like such a great dinner recipe!
Make some of this for a quick sweet bite.
10 recipes to make for Easter brunch. (Also, if youโre planning your menu, definitely make nanaโs egg dish!)
Happy Friday, friends!
