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 weโ€™re still waiting to welcome the little guy into the world. We canโ€™t wait to meet him and who knows, maybe heโ€™ll make his appearance this weekend?! Other than that, weโ€™re looking forward to some fun events. The Pilot is busy studying for airline interviews (WAHOO) and weโ€™ll be headed to a festival for Livโ€™s school, a date night with some friends from the gym, and getting some gardening done. Iโ€™d love to hear what you have going on! 

Itโ€™s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of the things Iโ€™m 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?

Donโ€™t 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! Iโ€™m loving this shirtdress, these shorts, this top and skirt combo, this jumpsuit, this luggage set, and these sandals.

Read, watch, listen:

Oh I just love this so much.

I guess I need to go to NYC this summer.

A Les Misรฉrables Miniseries is coming and Iโ€™m so here for it.

How I ditched my phone and unbroke my brain.

How to choose peace when youโ€™re 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 thatโ€™s 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. 

Pumpin iron

A prenatal workout for my expecting mama and postpartum friends.

Heavy core workout.

An interesting workout you can do anywhere for some incredible potential benefits.

Good eats:

Bees wrap

Beeโ€™s Wrap! This is going in the good eats category because you use it to wrap up leftover good eats. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Iโ€™m 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, itโ€™s been really easy to use Beeโ€™s 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 Iโ€™ll 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 youโ€™re planning your menu, definitely make nanaโ€™s egg dish!)

Happy Friday, friends!
