Friday Faves 10.6

Hi hi! Happy Friday! The weekend is heeeeere. What are you up to this weekend? Liv has a dance camp, Iโ€™m subbing a Zumba class (Latin Cardio since Iโ€™m no longer certified but talk about a blast from the past), teaching barre, and weโ€™re meeting up with friends for dinner. I hope you have a lovely weekend, too!

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 10.6

(I donโ€™t go wild with Halloween decor but I love these little touches around the house! Our giant Jack is definitely the most exciting thing we added to the collection.)

Friday Faves 10.6

Read, watch, listen:

Liv and I watched Dumplinโ€™ on Netflix the other night and loved it. Iโ€™ve seen it previously but have been introducing her to new movies. Some of the ones weโ€™ve watched together and have been hits (with strategic fast forwarding when necessary lol): Titanic, 13 Going on 30, Mamma Mia, Sweet Home Alabama, Miss Congeniality, Devil Wears Pradaโ€ฆ let me know if we should add any to the list!

How to reduce inflammation and even get it to build muscle.

How a barbell got me to confront the harsh voice inside my head.ย 

Check out this weekโ€™s podcast episode here!!

Fashion + beauty:

This gorgeous Tanaor bracelet that was a gift from the company. The entire Bible is nano-printed onto a chip, thatโ€™s implemented on all of their designs. Itโ€™s so unique and would make a lovely Christmas gift!

Beautycounter holiday is out! ! SO excited for the holiday collection.

If youโ€™re looking to get your shopping done early, here are some faves:

Mini Beyond Gloss Vault; split these up for stocking stuffers or gift toppers

Good scents hand cream trio. I stock up on these during the holidays for dry hands! Keep one in my purse, one in the car, one at home, one for a friend, etc.

Lip jellies! Huge hit for kids and tweens.

Triple quench body butter set. I always stock up on these each year, too.

Guess what?! We have clean fragrances now, too. I got to try samples of these about a month ago and theyโ€™re both light and fresh. Miles Away is warm and lovely, while Sun Spill is bright and beachy.

Three of my faves in one set.

Currently, youโ€™ll get free shipping if you order more than two sets and you can use the code CLEANFORALL20 for 20% off your first Beautycounter order!

This Anthro dress:

Itโ€™s from Nuuly, which I still have mixed feelings about. I think I like Rent the Runway Unlimited more, but I was feeling blah about their collection. Rest in peace, Trunk Club. Even though it wasnโ€™t a rental option, I always found so many things I loved this way and it made the process so easy. Iโ€™m determined to find a great substitute.

Fitness + good eats:

I have to give this cookbook another shoutout. Weโ€™ve tried a handful of recipes and theyโ€™ve all been SO good; bursting with flavor and easy to make. Highly recommend if you love Mediterranean food. She has lots of recipes on her website, too!

FINALLY a store-bought salad dressing with awesome, simple ingredients.apple cider vinaigrette

If you make anything pumpkin-y this month, make these!! My favorite forever and ever.

Happy Friday, friends!

    Have you done any of the big musicals with her? Newsies, In the Heights (some language but nothing graphically violent or sexual), West Side Story (the new one is so beautiful!). Also echoing Legally Blonde AND introducing her to the musical soundtrack.

    • Fitnessista on October 7, 2023 at 5:04 pm

      we loved newsies but she hasn’t seen in the heights or west side story!! ok we’re going to do those soon – thank you!
      she’s seen legally blonde so many times and is obsessed with it ๐Ÿ™‚

    My husband and I had our daughters (ages 16 and 17) watch our favorite 80โ€™s movies over the years: Ghostbusters, Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Back to the Future, etc.

    • Fitnessista on October 7, 2023 at 5:03 pm

      ohhhh she needs to do the molly ringwald and 80s movies – thank you! i’ve never seen back to the future (!) so we definitely need to do that one

    I heard some thing about that Bible jewelry recently, is there someway to possibly read it?? Or is it just more about the thought that you are wearing the Word?

    • Fitnessista on October 7, 2023 at 5:02 pm

      i think you’d need a super microscope to read it. it’s more about having it with you all day <3

    I recently tried Evereve’s Trendsend in lieu of Trunk Club and I love it so far! I’m not on a subscription basis, I just ask for a send when I need a wardrobe refresh. Quality and brands are excellent and your styles are NOT chosen according to an algorithm.

    • Fitnessista on October 7, 2023 at 5:02 pm

      ahhh thank you! i’m going to try it!

  7. Amy on October 7, 2023 at 12:39 am

    Mean girls!!! My girls are 15 and 17 but I watched it with them several times when they were about 10 and 12. It still nails high school

    • Fitnessista on October 7, 2023 at 5:02 pm

      yes! we love mean girls!

    Too many ads on your blog now. Iโ€™m on my phone reading your page with a very small amount of your article visible around the ads. The changing ads make the screen jump around a lot too.

    • Fitnessista on October 11, 2023 at 5:26 pm

      thank you for letting me know – i’ll reach out to my ad team and see if they can make it a better experience!
