Friday Faves
HI friends! Happy Friday! Whatโs going on this weekend? For my friends celebrating Easter, any fun plans? Weโre headed to Easter brunch at my nanaโs and you know Iโll be diving into the egg casserole. I canโt wait. Weโre also meeting up with some friends at Mt. Lemmon and Iโm a studying machine for my IHP cert. It should be a good one! I hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend ahead.
(‘Tis the season for pool nights and margaritas with friends)
Itโs 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 youโre loving in the comments section below.
Egg chair in all its glory! I want to add a cute table and a plant, but I love our little balcony setup so far. Also if you have tips for removing the stickers on the legs of the chair please lmk.
Easter break has officially begun, so we met up with some friends for lunch, boba tea, and henna tattoos yesterday. The perfect afternoon ๐

Read, watch, listen:
My brother Kyle was on TV last night! Last summer, he headed to Atlanta for a week to film Rat in the Kitchen. Itโs now on TBS and his episode aired last night. We had a little watch party at their house and it was SO GOOD. I always knew he would be awesome on TV and feel like this is just the beginning.

I think that it can be hard for personalities to translate on video, but Kyle is destined for it haha. He was absolutely hilarious and his plating and cooking were top-notch as always.
Can we just talk about Brigerton? Iโm barely into Season 2 and ALL IN. I donโt know how they managed to make Season 2 even spicier than Season 1, but well done.
Simple heart-opening exercises.
Tips for dealing with hair loss.

Good eats, health, and fitness:
Iโm officially on the Butcher Box bandwagon and so grateful it exists. Iโve been disappointed at the grocery store lately – the cost of organic meat has gone up significantly and many times, theyโre out of what we need – and Butcher Box has been saving the day. Iโm very picky about the quality and source of our meat and fish, and this checks all of the boxes (certified organic and wild options, and theyโre a B Corp). Iโve also noticed that the taste of the ground meat is so much better than the options at the grocery store. Ground turkey tends to be kind of blah but the one from Butcher Box was delicious.
Check it out here and if you use my referral link, youโll get $30 off and ground beef for liiiiiiiiife!!! (I used a friendโs referral link when I signed up and itโs so awesome to get free ground beef with each shipment.)

When you ask your kiddo with help with a photo, you will inevitably get about 200 like this, plus a 20-second video hahaha.
Feedback on the April workouts. Itโs not too late to join us for $7. Promo ends next week! Treat yourself to a new workout plan that was designed to move the needle towards your goals.
Been LOVING the recipes from Genius Kitchen.ย Iโll share a full review in my April books recap, but everything weโve tried has been delicious and super flavorful. Sometimes *healthy* recipes are bland and I need to add a little pizazz to them (spices, garlic, ginger, citrus zest, anythinnnnggg) and these are wonderful as-is. Highly recommend it so far!
Has anyone tried the viral green goddess salad yet??

The green goddess salad is AMAZING, especially with Siete tortilla chips!
How do Butcher Box prices compare to grocery stores right now?
Oh, and also try Baked By Melissaโs Mediterranean Chopped Salad- also delicious with Siete tortilla chips!
yum! i’ll check that one out, too!
they’re SO much better. i feel like we get so much more for what we pay by using butcher box
Happy Friday, Gina! So many good faves today! I got my first henna tattoo from Cafe TuTu Tango in Orlando, and I haven’t had one in so long — what a fun little activity. Also, I haven’t been on the Revolve site in far too long, so thanks for the reminder. And finally, thanks for sharing my post about hair loss — REAL talk! Have a wonderful Easter! ๐ xoxox
That margarita by the pool looks dreamy! Weโre not quite there in Northern California and I could use more warmth and sun!
Iโm interested in knowing why you dropped B12 as a result of your results, if you donโt mind sharing!
Thanks for all the good links. The hair one was really helpful.
Yes curious about the B12!
i was taking a b complex and when i got my results, b12 was off the charts! so i stopped taking the b complex
