Friday Faves
Hellooooo! Happy Friday! New post up on the Family page. Hope your day is off to a great start. I’m so glad the weekend is here! It feels like this week went by quickly, which is totally ok with me. 😉 Any fun plans this weekend? We’re getting together with friends for a family dinner tonight and swimming, BBQing tomorrow, and going to make a stop at the beach. We realized that we’ve hardly been this year, and definitely want to live it up for the next couple of months.
In standard Friday fashion, here are some of the reads, eats, wears, and randoms from the week. I always love to hear what you’re enjoying too, so please feel free to join in the fun in the comments section! (I have a little almond butter-filled giveaway for ya, too.)
Pizza Port nights with the fam.
Port, it’s been way too long.
How to bring sexy back after childbirth.
3 things every yogi must know about the anatomy of the spine.
This version of “Uptown Funk” with 280 movies.
So you want to write a food blog. “Quinoa is excellent for every meal because its texture is a reminder that life can’t always be smooth or digestible.”
I spent a month replying to all of my PR emails with “I love you.” <— I laughed so hard I cried a little.
MYHABIT. <—referral link (you get $20 to spend, too). I was really stoked when I got some Maaji bikinis for half price earlier this summer, and have been casually scoping it out here and there in case anything awesome came up. It definitely happened. Last week, I picked up this MARC by Marc Jacobs bag and it was almost $100 off. I’d been wanting a new one for fall, so it was destiny, really. 😉
Signs that your workouts are too intense.
This smoothie from Tiki Port:
I don’t know what it’s called but it’s almond milk, banana, peanut butter, chia seeds, honey and cinnamon. I added kale and strawberries to it, and it was like a green PBJ smoothie.
What a 107-year-old poet can teach you about mindfulness. I love the reminder to look for beauty in the drudgery.
So excited to make this copycat TJ’s salad; it’s one of my faves.
Giveaway time!!
These snack packs from Justin’s! They have them at Target, and we took a bunch with us on our Tucson trip. This was the last one, and I’m glad I snapped a quick photo before it was quickly hijacked. I asked Liv to share and she gave me 3 sad pretzels haha.
(The container is made from 100% recycled plastic)
My friends at Justin’s kindly offered to send some free coupons to a lucky reader if you’d like to try the snack packs for yourself. They’re gluten-free pretzel sticks with Justin’s almond butter and absolutely delicious. Just leave a comment below with something you’re loving, or a current favorite snack. 🙂 I’ll announce the winner in Monday am’s post.
Happy Friday!
xoxo

I saw those at Target last weekend! Favorite snack these days is some Greek yogurt with PB2 mixed in. Delicious!
Oh man! that pizza and that smoothie, I want that :). You look so great, and Liv is too cute.
The Signs Your Workouts Are too Intense, so true! I failed to hydrate ( I dehydrate super easily for some weird medical reasons) properly before a class a few weeks ago, and man I got so woozy. The instructor was awesome, and checked on me when I sat on the floor. Hydration sure is no joke!

I am loving every Summer evening…….it’s our first one in our home and we spend evenings on the deck, looking at stars:) magical!
Ah, how I miss Target in Canada… though the American version was always 100 times better. I am currently loving peaches!
Stoked for the weekend. I live across Puget Sound from Seattle and we FINALLY have rain after a very dry and hot (for this area, not in general) summer. Looking forward to spending hours at the tool bench and in the kitchen working on my aromatherapy pods and seeds to get up online for sale, reading, and fun time with my boys.
Have you ever done a focus on: post on 21 day fix? I’m doing it now after failing at a million other things and hear tons of success stories but am a bit skeptical.
Something I’m loving – the upcoming weekend 🙂
Loving the beach! And almond butter!!
I’m loving that those pretzel sticks are gluten free!
Carrots with guac…weird but delish! Can’t go wrong with almond butter and pretzels…yum!
OMG That PR article made me snort laugh! Thanks for sharing.
Right now I’m loving coconut greek yogurt with fresh berries from the farmer’s market! I’d love to try those Justin’s snacks, I can’t find Justin’s stuff in Canada, aside from the occasional peanut butter cup at Starbucks.
Favorite snack: TJ’s Unexpected Cheddar Cheese. So good and so budget friendly!
I live in Los Angeles and we have street vendors here who sell a big bag of cut up fruit for only $5.
My current favorite snack is roasted chickpeas. I am looking forward to making that TJ copycat salad. Yum.
I am absolutely loving the summer weather we are having here, it doesn’t last long in our area so I have to enjoy the heat while its here! Fresh summer fruit is my go to snack these days, but anything peanut/almond butter related is ALWAYS a win in my books!
I’m loving anything salty these days – pretzels and nuts especially have been my snack BFFS lately.
Loving dates and almond butter!
Watermelon 😀 And smoothies
Something I’m currently loving is avocado & chicken salad sandwiches, watermelon, garden cucumbers and honeydew. Those Justin’s nut butter + pretzel snacks look great! Perfect for on-the-go eating!
My favorite thing is anything that doesn’t give me heartburn! I think I have narrowed it down to red sauce. No more spaghetti for this girl (for awhile anyway)
I have been wanting to try those snack packs! My current snack of the week is extra sharp cheddar cheese with pretzel nuggets!
I saw these at Target and resisted the urge! My current favorite afternoon snack is half a green apple, some blueberries, a bit of Bear Naked protein granola, and a blob of almond butter. So good!
