Friday Faves

June 14, 2019 |

Hey hey! Happy Friday! The weekend is heeeeeere. I’d love to hear what you have going on!

I’m here in Chicago for a quick blog trip with NOW Foods. I’m looking forward to learning more about the company, enjoying some activities with blog friends, and… being in Chicago. Even if it’s only for a short time, it’s one of my favorite places to visit! I’ve been sharing the adventures on IG stories if you’d like to follow along there.

I’m looking forward to catching up with the crew when we’re back, swimming at the Lodge, and celebrating Father’s Day. If you’re looking for last-minute gift ideas, this year’s gift guide is here.

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some of the things I’m lovin’ from the week and around the web. I always enjoy hearing about your faves, too, so please shout out some faves in the comments below.

Read, watch, listen:

I’m kicking it old school and enjoying going back to the library for books. I know you can download books somehow – but am not sure how to do this – but there’s something really peaceful about browsing the aisles for something new. Our local library leaves much to be desired in the fiction section, but the business section is top-notch. Last week, I read Blue Ocean Shift and highly recommend it if you’re looking to expand your business model and find motivation.

Love working with the “gold standard in clean beauty.”

Rhode Island friends, check out this new vegan food hall from one of my very favorite chefs.

Loved this article about Robin Arzón and completely agree with her thoughts on balance. For me, balance is unattainable, so I focus on prioritization.

Three cheers for mom-cations.

Fashion + beauty:

This backpack! This was a gift from Stitch Fix a while ago and it’s quickly become my favorite travel backpack. Love the neutral color and it’s really well-structured.

Found a couple cute summery things at Express recently: this colorful romper (on super sale), this striped dress, and this neutral romper.

Fitness:

Summer Shape Up prep! Emily Field and I are teaming up for this year’s Summer Shape Up: 4 weeks of FREE workouts, nutrition advice, videos, grocery plans, and group accountability. We filmed the workout videos for you last weekend, and I’m so excited for you to have them. There are 6 new workouts total (3 are full follow-along videos) and it’s going to be a great year. The fun officially starts on the 24th, so I’ll have a post up on Monday with what to expect and how to sign up. (Newsletter friends will get all of the workouts and meals early so you can plan and prepare.)

Be sure to check back on Monday.
