Friday Faves 1.19

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you had a great one! Weโ€™re still going strong with 21 days of Healthy Habits, Iโ€™m finishing up the EquiLife detox, and am looking forward to starting the CBO protocol. (At least looking forward to finishing it?) What are you up to this weekend? P has a birthday party and horse lessons, Liv has dance, and we have a New Yearsโ€™ dinner party with friends.

This past weekend, we met up with some friends at Great Wolf Lodge. Itโ€™s one of our favorite weekend getaways, buuuuut I think we booked it a little too close to our Disney trip. It was still a lot of fun, but I could tell the kids were tired. I tried to unplug and took zero pictures, but I did get one of the yoga studio. I try to take a class at Just Be yoga whenever Iโ€™m in Scottsdale. Itโ€™s a beautiful space and the classes are amazing – super hot with a mix of flows and stationary poses.

This is random, but Iโ€™ve been having a little bit of a struggle on Maiseyโ€™s walks lately, and maybe some of my fellow desert dwellers can help. The coyotes are OUT right now. We see at least one every day! Usually itโ€™s at sunset, so Iโ€™ve been trying to walk her during midday, but we hear them howling every day and night, and the Pilot and the girls saw one on Wednesday. Any tips?? I definitely want to walk Maisey while the weather is nice, but I donโ€™t want to have a run-in with a coyoteโ€ฆ.

Maybe I need to drive her to a more populated walking path instead of walking around the neighborhood. Hereโ€™s hoping for a coyote-free weekend ahead.

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.

Friday Faves 1.19

Read, watch, listen:

Listening to this on Audible and itโ€™s breaking my heart slowly. So many of us grew up with Friends, and when Matthew Perry passed away, it hit me hard. It felt like an uncle or a close friend had died. Itโ€™s surreal to hear this in his own voice, and no spoilers, but while I knew that he struggled, I had no idea of the intensity.

ย This is me.

How to slow down and take care of yourself.

What’s your best and worst career advice?

Fashion + beauty:

Favorite blazer for a friend date to lunch.

(blazer is old from Anthropologie, skirt is here, shoes here, bodysuit here)

Already browsing swimsuits online. Here are some of my favorite mom suits.

Fitness, health + good eats:

(True Food redeemed itself. Last time we went, it was mehhhh, but this time, it was perfect.)

Really interested in the future of this.

ย Quick and intense 30-minute barre video.

    January and February is coyote mating season so thatโ€™s why you are seeing them more lately. Definitely be careful with small pets.

      I live in North Scottsdale and deal with them all the time- they will NOT attack you and Maisey together. Even maisey alone is probably way too big. They legit have wandered right into my garage (not knowing Iโ€™m in there) when Iโ€™m riding my Peloton and run when I yell at them. They donโ€™t even glance at humans, from my experience? Iโ€™ve seen them with prey in their mouths but itโ€™s tiny stuff like rabbits or mice- theyโ€™re not very big really. (But yes small pets be careful!)

    Iโ€™m also very interested in anything that will avoids me needing Pap smears seriously though, it would be amazing to get more precise to rule out the false positives too. Getting a biopsy just to learn it was a false positive is no picnic.

      ugh seriously. anything to make this whole process easier is a WIN
