Friday Faves 9.15
Hi hi! Happy Friday! How was the week? Weโre on Day 5 of our community detox and the feedback so far as been amazing! Iโm doing 21 days for the first time, and I already feel SO good. I could see/feel a lot of inflammation in my face, and itโs already gone. My energy is better, sleep has been better, and it doesnโt feel daunting at all. (Even though Iโll be ready for some chocolate when this is all over.) If youโd still like to join, you can order your kit here and use FITNESSISTA10.
One of my dinners from this week: shrimp and veggie stir fry on cauliflower rice.
(The shrimp is blurry but Maze is the best part!)
Whatโs going on this weekend? We have a school event, baptism, and a football game. I hope you have an amazing weekend!
Itโs time for the weekly Fri 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.
Friday Faves 9.15
Home:
Mold testing! What a fave, right?! Iโm continuing to dig into my whole situation, and mold exposure can contribute to gut imbalances and bacterial overgrowth. I know we were exposed to mold when we lived in San Diego – our little house by the beach was like 100 years old – but was curious to see if we had mold exposure here. I bought these little testing pucks and put them in various locations around the house. I wonโt post the results (because EW) but we were shocked!!! The worst offenders were our couch and upstairs carpet. Weโve been planning on getting the carpet removed anyway – this just expedited the process – but we were on the computer ordering a new couch that very day.
Which brings us to the next fave:
new couch!
Our old brown Axis had stood the test of time, but we had it hauled away because it apparently didnโt fare well from the San Diego and Georgia humidity. We considered getting a new Axis, because theyโre amazing couches, but in the end, we didnโt want to spend another 7k+ on a couch. (I mean, thatโs a Disney cruise lol.)
We found this one at Macyโs and have been pleasantly surprised by it! Itโs the perfect size – itโs huge! – and super comfy. Now the goal is to just try and keep it clean…
Fashion + beauty:
An updated set of glasses. Iโm finally back in contacts – I thought Iโd never see the day – and it.has.been.awesome.
But, Iโm trying to still take it easy on my eyes during the day and will usually wear my glasses when I’m just working from home. My other pair is from Warby Parker, so I grabbed a new pair. This is the Clemens style.
Ordered this jumpsuit and canโt wait to it to arrive!
Fall Vuori picks! I live in Vuori most days, especially when Iโm working at home and then getting in a quick workout. Some of my fave things are these joggers, these hoodies, sweatshirts, these jumpsuits, and these bike shorts. I ordered some new things for fall and love the new colors!
On the list:

Are you a party host or enthusiastic guest?
How to clear emotional clutterย
Health and good eats:
HigherDOSE red light neck enhancer! I was so excited to receive this as a gift from HigherDOSE; I LOVE it. I have to tell you, with my red light face mask, eye mask, and neck enhancer, itโs quite a sight lol. Iโll do a full review blog post, but Iโve loved adding this to my routine. I feel like the neck and chest have more visible signs of aging, and would like do everything I can to keep this skin healthy and smooth.

We have had that same Macy’s couch for seven years and it is awesome! Holds up well to kids and pets!
yay that’s great to hear! we love it so far!!
My mom did a deep dive into her health years ago, and began drinking mold free coffee. Apparently coffee is huge with mold as well. Just mentioning this for another consideration ๐
yes, thank you for this reminder!! peanut butter is another big one, along with canned tomatoes

I used to have the same couch in the gray color! I sold it with the house I had and promptly bought another Macyโs couch. They have held up great, even with two doggos.
