Friday Faves
Happy weekend! Congratulations to those of you who are graduating and finishing up with finals. Hope youโve all had a wonderful week. The fires are still raging in San Diego, and Iโll continue to send thoughts and prayers to everyone affected. Weโre also grateful for the first responders who have worked tirelessly to ensure everyoneโs safety. Thankfully, it still hasnโt reached our neck of the woods.
This week was a lot of fun: time with the Livster, friends, teaching and interviewing. Iโm excited to enjoy a low-key weekend with the fam, especially with the Pilot since his work schedule has been pretty crazy.
Some faves from the week:
Whitters snapped this pic while we were at brunch at The Mission the other day. A huge part of my life in a nutshell: holding my sweet baby and the mischievous little grin on her face.
Zumba party in Del Mar! This was definitely a highlight of the week. Kelli invited me to Zumba with some friends at a mind-glowingly-gorgeous beach house โ such a blast.
First time Iโve ever had to say, โNow shake it towards the ocean!โ during a Zumba class ๐
More faves and reads from the week:
How to save money at Whole Foods.
Take care of yourself, even when youโre stressed.
Cute top from Miss Match on Newport (I had to talk myself out of a Buddha-printed dress at another shop. I wasnโt ready for the Pilotโs WTF face haha.):
(similar tank, by the same brand is here)
โHow I donโt do it all.โ
A fun event this weekend for San Diego locals. In La Jolla, theyโre having a event to celebrate the launch of Lorna Janeโs The Active Living Room (on Girard), which is a full-service fitness studio, juice bar and retail location. There will be fitness classes, juices, hairstyles by Dry Bar, and the first five people to tell them โFitnessista sent meโ will get a $50 gift card. Amazing, huh?! Check out the invite below if youโre interested in attending:
65 things kids today will never understand.
Things every woman should know about her hormones.
And last but certainly not least: Disneyland! Some cousins let us know theyโd be in Disneyland today, so Livi and I took a little road trip last night. Mickey Mouse house all day!
Have a great weekend <3

Seeing all of the news coverage about the fire is so devastating. ๐
I was reading the article about 65 things kids today will never understand and can totally agree with it!
I wish I could go back to Disneyland! I haven’t been there since I was in kindergarten, which seems like centuries ago! lol. Have a great weekend!
What a gorgeous back drop for Zumba! I love doing any sort of exercise with an ocean view ๐
Such a cute top!
Happy Friday! Have a great time at Disney ๐
That Lorna Jane event looks so fun! I don’t think I’ll ever get over how often Californians go to Disneyland like it’s nothing! Even in NorCal, people go so often. Being from NY, it was a big deal to go down to Disney in FL. I think it might always feel like a big deal to me.
What a great comboโฆcousins and Mickey Mouse house!! I bet she was one happy girl!!
Have a great weekend! We have 2 graduations and a wedding so non-stop excitement here ๐
I might need a nap on Monday though ๐
Thanks for the well wishes on finals. Just found out I aced all of my classes this year. Hope you have a nice time in Disneyland!
I have a question. What do you think is the best way to deal with slip ups when on a diet? I had a couple of cheat days and am having trouble getting back on track.
Always love the links you post on Friday! Couldn’t agree more with the hormone one that states, “PMS is not normal.” I’ll never forget when my acunpucturist told me that people in China flat out don’t have PMS. It’s mostly the women of more developed countries that have Western medicine that have PMS. Things that make you go hmm…
Awww that is an adorable picture of you and Liv! How cute!
Something on my bucket list is a morning yoga class on the beach with a view. I’ve never had a seaside sweat session and would love to.
Enjoy Disneyland!
oh. my. goodness!!!!! that cute little look on her face!!!!!!!!!!
Ohhh so glad you guys are safe from the fire!!! It’s kinda creepy how crazy the weather has been in socal.
And I loooove the fact that you’re somewhat local now! Well, I live in the South Bay/LA area, but now I get to hear about all these special events going on because of you. ๐ Unfortunately I can’t go to the Lorna Jane event bc it would be chaos driving that long with baby, but keep us posted on other good stuff!
Glad to hear you are safe with the fire! Must be very scary.
I can’t wait to check out the article on how to save money at Whole Foods. I need all the suggestions I can get!
Oh my goodness I would love to workout, live, hang, anything with that view!
have fun at Disney!!!
Hope California is beginning to feel a little more like home to you guys! Looks like beautiful weather and wonderful times. We have a Lorna Jane Active Living Room (the first one she opened) across the river from my house here in Brisbane! It has such a great vibe, and awesome that they always host free classes, etc. Love her and the whole LJ philosophy ๐
We are going to Disneyland next week! Totally surprising our kiddo’s! They have NO clue! Can’t wait to get there!!!! Been a dream of mine and my hubby’s to finally go!!!!
A Zumba party sounds like a lot of fun! It seems like you fit right into your new place with so many activities and friends!
Thanks, also, for the great bodyweight exercises link. I’m gonna check it out right now!
about WHOLE FOODS, they have a “Meatless Monday” special, as much as you can fill (& close the lid!) for ONLY $8!!! saves me at least $7 ๐
Wow! Your site is so motivating, I love it! I will be doing your workouts that I found. I can’t wait! I’m excited I stumbled onto your page! Thanks for your family’s service. I’m very grateful for all our service men and women.
