Friday Faves
Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend?
We’re here in Tucson with the fam, and I already want to stay forever. One thing that’s pretty funny: I always forget how hot it is here. When I lived here (you know, for the first 21 years of my life), I never really thought that much about it. Whenever we come back, it’s like an oven in the face. I think that’s ok, though. 😉
The best. <3
We met up with the fam this morning for breakfast at First Watch and Liv got to spend some time swimming at the hotel while P napped.
We’re off to enjoy some more adventures, which I’ll be sure to share next week, but in the meantime, I hope you all have a very happy and safe Labor Day weekend!
Some faves from the week and around the web:
Writing at Jungle Java. I’ve been working hard on the Post Baby Bod Advanced plan (all current planholders will get it for freeeeeee) and the vibe at Jungle Java is one of my favorites. I can always count on great coffee and an outdoor succulent garden to get my creative juices going. 😉
Miss Match! I’ve professed my love for this local boutique many times, but it remains a fave. I can always count on finding unique pieces at reasonable prices. These are my current fave shorts,
I picked up these burgundy pants that are almost identical to an olive pair that my friend Julie has. Can’t wait to wear them with a chambray top this fall.
True Foods via Postmates. Their kale salad with salmon is life.
My friends at Fresh sent me their new Vitamin Nectar face mask. I can’t wait to try it! Also, I think the jam above is edible but I need to check with my contact before I eat it haha.
Healthy BBQ and grilling recipes!
A full-body medicine ball workout.
Balancing exercise with a new baby.
We quit sugar. I pretty much died at the kombucha scoby part.
Natural Calm. This a magnesium supplement and I find that it’s actually very calming when I start to get anxious or stressed. Half a teaspoon is all ya need, and it has a mild orange flavor.

I live in Flagstaff now, but grew up in Tucson and lived in PHX for 12 years. I am blown away by how much I CAN’T handle the heat when we head south. Like you said, living there was no big thing. I would wake up at 4:30 a.m. to run before the sun came up! But, I go back and I’m melting. Doing errands is the worst – getting in and out of a 200 degree car is exhausting!!
yes! or when you walk from an air conditioned store to your car and you’re sweating already
Have a great weekend in Tucson! Loving all the sales and hoping to not go overboard with the shopping!
there are so many great sales!
So hot in Tucson in the summer. But it is dry heat. It is the humidity that kills me and my hair.
it’s SO NICE to do my hair here and it actually stays like i styled it!
I take natural calm on a daily basis! Great for relaxing and relieving muscle cramps.
yes! magnesium is so good at preventing cramps!
I just ordered some of that magnesium on Amazon today. Looking forward to its calming effects. Have fun in T-town!
let me know how you like it!
I saw the sentence that you were in Tucson then saw the link about True Foods and got so excited that they were finally in Tucson (used to live minutes away from the one in Denver) then was so disappointed. Oh well at least I’ll have an excuse to go up to Phoenix or Scottsdale sometime!
AHHH sorry about that! i wish tucson had one!!!
Enjoy your weekend! I am surprised the Calm stuff works! By the way, I know you like to read so feel free to check out my blog that has book reviews!
Love my natural calm!!!!!! It’s the best! I take it every night
yes! so good
maybe you know where I can find that magnesium supplement in Australia or UK?
hmm does amazon ship out there??
Omg, Miss Match is so dangerous. I live right by the ferry landing and take said ferry to and from work everyday, and every time I walk by I want to buy ALL THE THINGS!
SO DANGEROUS
you only use 1/2 tsp of the natural calm? I thought you were suppose to take like 3 tsp.. Maybe that’s why it gives me tummy problems?
yeah it says when you’re starting out to do 1/2 teaspoon and increase from there. 1/2 teaspoon has been good so far!
I LOVE finding good, local boutiques! There were so many great ones that I’d visit when I lived in Charleston, SC!
