Friday Faves
Helloooooo. Happy Friday! Any fun plans for the upcoming weekend? Sunday is my b-day, so I’m looking forward to sleeping in, cake, and spending time with these nuggets. I’m also hoping we can make a trip down to Tallahassee to hit up Whole Foods and maybe sneak in an Orangetheory class. (Can I really pack ALL of my favorite things into one weekend?! Heh.)
It’s time for the standard Friday Faves party! I look forward to this post each week. It’s a blast to put a list together of some of the fun things in life and hear what you’re enjoying, too. Please shout out any Friday Faves (wears, eats, reads, randoms) in the comments section below.
Fashion and beauty:
This wrap sweater! The wrap detail is very ballerina-esque along with the blush color.
I think that it’s neutral but still a little different, and is a super soft cozy fabric. It’s great with jeans and mules or booties.
We joked that these are my “back to school” photos, haha.
Anastasia eyebrow scissors. (If you live near a Nordstrom with an Anastasia salon, GO. I miss it so much!) I’ve been a huge fan of the Anastasia products for years now, especially since they helped turn my sad little tadpoles into real eyebrows. Their stencils, brow powder and wax crayon are on the daily rotation over here. Since I have to do my brows now for the most part unless we’re traveling and I can hit up a Nordstrom, I picked up a pair of these scissors. Word to the world: they’re extremely sharp, so be careful and all of that. It helps to keep everything uniform and gives them a cleaner look.
I’m super pumped to try Annie Lawless’ new lip glosses. I just need to decide on a color!

Very important information as we head into Thanksgiving.
Fitness things:
Cosmic Kids Yoga. After I saw a friend post about this on her Instagram, I asked Liv if she wanted to give it a try before bed one night. They have a different theme for each episode like Moana, a bear hunt, Alice in Wonderland, etc. and the host makes it interactive and exciting. It’s right up their alley and a great way to get the last-minute crazies out and wind down before going to sleep. Watching the girls follow along is pretty much the cutest ever.
Eats and recipes:
Daily Harvest! I was really missing the convenience of being able to go to Tiki Port or Mad Beet for a smoothie or acai bowl – I don’t mind making my own smoothies, but sometimes it’s so nice to try something different – and I remembered Daily Harvest.
I’ve used their deliveries in the past and loved their smoothies, plus I was pumped to try their new soups. I used a friends’ referral code so I could get 3 free cups in my shipment, and I got 6 cups for $24. YESSS. Here’s my referral code if you’d like to try it out! You get 3 free cups, too. I hope you love it as much as I do.
I want to curl up and live in this cheese board.
A unique way to use persimmons.
If you’re looking for the perfect Thanksgiving turkey, this is it.

A great way to use up on-their-last-leg bananas.

Current favorite reads: Uncommon Type (Audible version), a collection of short stories written and narrated by Tom Hanks. It’s clever and enchanting and he narrates brilliantly!
Crystal Muse by Heather Askinosie and Timmi Jandro. I love stones, rocks, and crystals of all types – this book is part coffee table book (so pretty), part crystal ritual recipe book. Can’t wait to create lots of fun crystal grids!
Liv and Miss P doing yoga = adorable!
oh i need to check that out! i have audible credits that need to be used up, and i love tom hanks 🙂
the crystal book sounds amazing, too!
hope you’re having a great weekend.
Happy Birthday friend! Hope you have a great and relaxing day on Sunday!!!
thank you so much!
That sweater is so cute, does it stretch down to be breastfeeding friendly? Happy weekend!
thank you! yes, it would be perfect for breastfeeding! i’d wear a nursing tank under it and you’d be good to go
I definitely don’t mind making my own smoothies, but the idea of having some different combos that I’m not coming up with myself sounds nice. haha
exactly! i get stuck in ruts and make the same things over and over
Happy Birthday!
I can’t wait to check out Cosmic Kids Yoga!!! I bet my two older ones will love it!

i think they’ll love it! the girls adore it
Happy early birthday, Gina!! I hope you have a lovely weekend filled with lots of fun & love!! <3
thank you, friend. <3 hope you have a great weekend, too!
Cosmic Kids Yoga is amazing. My five year old often does it by herself when the 2 year old is napping, but sometimes as a special treat we do them together.
i want to try one out with them! usually i just watch them- so so cute
Love your sweater and really love your purse in that photo! Where is the purse from?
thank you so much! i got it when we went to italy, years ago. it’s one of my very faves. i think it was like 40 euros, too
Yay for Cosmic Kids! Isn’t it fun?
yes! it’s so great!
Hope you have a great birthday! My birthday was on the 3rd. Have a great one, celebrating!
