Friday Faves

Hi friends! The weekend is here! Sorry for the diasappering act yesterday. Iโ€™m back in action today and missed you all. ๐Ÿ™‚ It was just one of those days where I had seriously nothing to write about, so I figured Iโ€™d wait until I did. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The weekend is finally here! What are you up to? Any fun plans on the agenda? Weโ€™re going out to dinner tonight, and tomorrow after Livโ€™s ballet class, weโ€™re driving up to Disney. Liv still has no clue weโ€™re going, and I canโ€™t wait to surprise her. The best part: Kyle, Meg, Megโ€™s family (her sis, brother-in-law, nephew, mom and dad) will all be there and weโ€™re meeting up with them. I CANโ€™T WAIT. Megโ€™s family is really like our extended family, and we love hanging out with all of them. Itโ€™s going to be a blast, for sure. Liv is going to go crazy riding all the rides, P is going to dance her heart out at the Disney Junior show. 

In standard Friday fashion, here are some faves from the week and around the web. I always love to hear what youโ€™re enjoying, too, if youโ€™d like to shout it out in the comments section below. 

Iโ€™m not sure Ina would approve, but Iโ€™m a fan of this dinner party strategy. ๐Ÿ˜‰ 

Isolation replaced by meditation.

Stitch Fix for men is here!! I canโ€™t even begin to tell you how stoked I am about this. The Pilot has been a little jealous of my fixes for probably a couple of years now, especially since heโ€™s not a huge mall shopper but likes clothes/style. I usually pick things out for him, but itโ€™s definitely not the same as a box arriving with on-trend pieces in your size, right on the doorstep. Needless to say, he was pretty excited when I told him his own fix was on the way! If youโ€™re looking to surprise your husband or partner (or even brother or dad!) this would be an awesome gift to set up. Iโ€™ll definitely let you guys know how his first fix goes.

Here is his referral link if youโ€™d like to check it out and surprise your guy with a fix.

THE FITNESS MARSHALL. Iโ€™ve professed my love for Calebโ€™s dance cardio videos a couple of times on the blog now, but if you still havenโ€™t tried them, I highly, highly recommend them if you like to dance. Not only are the moves sassy, fun and easy to follow, but he is HILARIOUS. I was dancing with the biggest smile on my face.

 

Why are cheese boards so amazing?

If the dress wasnโ€™t $400, Iโ€™d be all.over.that.ish. 

A good reminder about perspective.

These chia bites! After last weekโ€™s post, my friends at Chosen Foods sent a huge box of goodies.(Thank you! They included some new snacks, and Iโ€™m officially obsessed with these chia bites.

Itโ€™s been a long time since Iโ€™ve been this excited about bras hahah. I hit up the Victoriaโ€™s Secret sale for swimsuits (NOW is the time to get them! One of my swimsuits was $10. YESSSSSS!), and decided to replenish the bra selection. It had been a long time since Iโ€™d bought real (aka non-sports) bras, and honestly, I hate underwire. I deal with it, but ever since having kids, itโ€™s not one of my favorite things. These bras are so perfect. No underwire, but still have support, and donโ€™t look like an ace bandage. I got nude and black, and already want to order other colors. 

33 delicious and healthy pumpkin recipes.

This was so good.

Ways to meditate while running.

Pโ€™s ponytail keeps getting more and more legit. How is she so big?

Avocado pita pizzas. YES.

Rest days are SO important.

Happy Friday, friends!

    I can’t wait to see how you like Stitch Fix for men. My husband is IMPOSSIBLE to shop for because he’s a smaller guy. Haha. I discovered Room on the Broom this week and have a quick note on it up on my blog if you’re looking for the BEST fall children’s book EVER.

  11. Kathleen on September 30, 2016 at 2:29 pm

    Ah! Those bras are what I’ve been searching for! Do you mind sharing what size you got/what size bra you typically wear? That bra looks great, but I’m wondering if my chest is too big to pull off wireless..

    • Fitnessista on October 3, 2016 at 10:33 am

  14. Lisa @ Lisa the Vegetarian on October 1, 2016 at 8:17 am

    Those chia bites sound very interesting! I need to incorporate some additional easy, healthy snacks into my daily life, so I love seeing new ideas like these.

    • Fitnessista on October 3, 2016 at 10:31 am

    • Fitnessista on October 4, 2016 at 9:41 pm
