Friday Faves

Hi friends! Happy Friday! I hope you’re having a great morning. The Pilot was gone again this week, so it’s always a treat to have him back home. The night before he left on his trip, we had a little family caviar night with dinner.

Before you think we’re fancy, I have to tell you that I bought the caviar at Costco over the holidays and we had to eat it because it expires at the end of this month. It was a fun change-up from the usual cheese board. 😉 Liv ended up LOVING the caviar (of course. She’s already asked for it again this week) and P said it was disgusting, so there ya go. She was like, “Mom, I like the pancake but I hate the black seeds, ok?”

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some faves from the week and around the web, and always enjoy hearing about the things you’re loving, too. Please shout out something that’s making you smile in the comments section below!

Fitness + good eats:

FLASH enrollment for Fit Team! If you’ve been wanting to try Fit Team but weren’t sure if you want to do 6 entire months, you can try out one month here. If you like it, you can use your one month enrollment towards the six months if you decide to extend it. So many of you wanted to try Fit Team, so I wanted to reduce the barrier to entry and give you a chance to see if you like it first. The feedback has been incredible and I’m so excited to see your progress! Confident, stronger, and more energized. Sign up for your first month here!

Some of the amazing check-ins from our online community:

Stretches and exercises for piriformis syndrome.

Organifi! I’ve been using and loving their products for at least two years now and they recently asked me to be an ambassador! I LOVE their green and gold powders – the gold one is the perfect wind down before bed with almond milk. It’s like a golden milk latte- and recently fell in love with their protein powder. The ingredients are very simple, it tastes great, and isn’t chalky or too sweet.

Super bowl recipe ideas!

Try this chili recipe (Liv is a baby and I look so young and fresh in these pics), this buffalo chicken dip, this vegan spinach artichoke dip, the best pasta salad ever or these DIY grazing boxes.

Fashion + beauty:

Jennifer Garner agrees this is the best natural deodorant. You can shop it up here!

THIS SPORTS BRA. It’s just like the align material from lulu but SO much less expensive. (I rarely buy clothes from Amazon because I wonder about the quality, but decided to go for it and it was worth it.) I got the burgundy color to test it out, and already ordered white and black. It runs true to size.

Read, watch, listen:

With my reading goal of at least three books per month, I signed up for Book of the Month club. I figured it would be a great way to try out new books I may not otherwise discover, and I can share them with my mom or MIL when I’m finished reading. Have you guys used this service?

Love ballad to your therapist.

This cracked me up.

Happy Friday, friends!
