Friday Faves

Hi friends! Happy Friday. Iโ€™m sending love to my friends in Texas and surrounding areas who have been affected by the extreme weather and storms. If youโ€™re looking for ways to help, check out this post.

Our week was pretty low-key. The Pilot made it back after his flights were canceled for weather, and Iโ€™m looking forward to catching up on work stuff (new Fit Team workouts go out next weekend!), family movie night, and watching the girls ride horses.

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.

Life:

– We saw our friends Betsy and Jeremy last weekend for Betsyโ€™s birthday. (Of course we followed all protocols while we were together, as we always do.) ย It was nice to catch up with Betsy – we always just pick up where we left over – and laugh at the boysโ€™ shenanigans.ย 

Dress was from Rent the Runway:

A couple of foodie pics!

Beauty + wellness:

EQ BOGO! My friends at Equilibria are having a special promo this weekend: purchase anything on the site and get something of equal or lesser value for 50% off.

Plant based diet vs. low carb vs. animal based diet.ย 

The benefits of recovery runs and how slow to go.

Read, watch, listen:

– We finished Bridgerton and I have SO MANY THOUGHTS. I canโ€™t wait for Season 2!!! What do we watch next? I tried to find the Britney documentary on Hulu but it looks like it may have been deleted?

– Just for LOLs:

(Phil Collins really went for it on that soundtrack)

Happy Friday, friends!

    I love the grey dress you’re wearing! Wheres it from? Sounds like a fun night out.

    I had trouble finding the Britney documentary, too, but I just watched it last night so itโ€™s definitely still there. I ended up getting there by talking into my fire remote and it found it for me lol. Itโ€™s an episode of New York Times Presents so you have to go to that to get to the episode.

    • Fitnessista on February 19, 2021 at 12:19 pm

      Ok good to know! I searched for it and nothing would come up. I’ll try that tonight!

    Disappointing to see you out and about – I know you are wearing masks but you are so close to others, indoors! I assume it’s the less strict rules in Arizona?

    • Fitnessista on February 19, 2021 at 1:15 pm

      there are different rules in every state. i am home alone with the girls probably 90% of the time which has been difficult on everyone’s mental health. it was very nice to be out in the world and be a human for a second, while following all of the safety protocols

        I think it’s strange you didn’t mention you went to Vegas but I guess that’s because people will comment about coronatravel.

    • Elly on February 20, 2021 at 4:28 pm

      It’s mental health. We need to see our family and friends. The consequences of almost a year of lockdown will be much worse than the virus itself. Don’t be disappointed.

    • Jen on February 20, 2021 at 5:59 pm

      Itโ€™s disappointing to see the need for you to ronashame. I have traveled across the United States since Feb 2020, and have not gotten the Rona virus. Itโ€™s time for you to got off your high horse and get on with your life!!!

      • Kim on February 24, 2021 at 7:59 pm

        Good for you! I haven’t traveled at all but still got it because I teach people’s kids. I was out of work for NINE weeks in 2020 because of illness from the virus. It’s not about being on a high horse, it’s just about reality.

  4. Amanda on February 19, 2021 at 1:17 pm

    Re: the britney documentary-I had the same problem last night. You have to search for “The New York Times Presents” and it’s episode 6 from this season. ENJOY! I loved it ๐Ÿ™‚

    • Fitnessista on February 19, 2021 at 1:23 pm

      thank you for the tip!! i was like why is it missing?!?

  5. Molly on February 19, 2021 at 1:44 pm

    The RTR dress is – purple is gorgeous on you!

    • Molly on February 19, 2021 at 1:46 pm

      My fire emoji didnโ€™t work! (Insert shrug emoji!)

  6. Tracy on February 19, 2021 at 5:14 pm

    We just finished The Imposters on Netflix. Very entertaining! I loved the characters & the storyline.

    Looked like a fun get together with your friends! TGIF & have a great weekend ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. meg on February 20, 2021 at 4:42 pm

    I can’t make the Beautycounter event on the 26th (its my birthday!) but do you have a coupon code or something? I’d love to try their new clean deodorant but I have really sensitive skin its pretty $$ for a deodorant to take a chance on. thanks!

    • Fitnessista on February 20, 2021 at 10:14 pm

      Ahh happy birthday!! Have you ordered before? You can use the code CLEANFORALL20 for 20% off if youโ€™re a new client!! Iโ€™m not sure if it works on the deo because itโ€™s so new. Try it and if it doesnโ€™t work, email me and Iโ€™d be happy to Venmo you the 20%. Youโ€™ll love it!

  8. Amy on February 22, 2021 at 6:43 pm

    I love that you got to see Betsy and have some fun with friends ๐Ÿ™‚ You all look GREAT and I love the purple dress on you.
    My husband and I just finished The Flight Attendant on HBO Max and I thought it was great. Very entertaining and each episode left me wanting more. I thought Kaley Cuoco was amazing in it too!

    • Fitnessista on February 23, 2021 at 5:55 pm

      thank you so much!! it was so nice to see them ๐Ÿ™‚
      ohhh ok i’ll check it out – thank you!

  9. Lauren on February 23, 2021 at 9:18 pm

    Recommend Ted Lasso on Apple TV! I always feel like itโ€™s easy to find good dramas but hard to find good comedies! My husband and I burned through the first season this weekend. It is a funny feel good show that makes you happy! Much needed now more than ever!

    • Fitnessista on February 25, 2021 at 2:52 pm

      ok we definitely need to watch this!
