Friday Faves (+ a giveaway)
Hi! TGIF. Hope you’ve had a wonderful week and have some fun plans to look forward to this weekend! We have a couple of fun things in the works, and I’m so excited to see Gone Girl this weekend. I know it probably won’t live up to the book, but… Ben Affleck.
Some faves from the week and around the web:
Fall centerpieces! Even though it was 90 degrees while I put this one together, it felt so right. I got everything at Home Goods; love the leaves, and love that it isn’t too Halloween-y and can stick around until Thanksgiving.
This sign at an Ocean Beach flower shop. Pretty clever marketing 😉
We have figs in the yard! I was a little apprehensive about eating them -it all comes back to childhood trauma from when I ate mushrooms growing outside. It was not a good experience for anyone- but they are delicious.
La Jolla adventures with my favorites.
Quotes from the wisdom wall:
How to determine blood test results. So helpful!!
What weightlifting for 20 minutes does for your brain.
An amazing feature from Cosmopolitan. Thank you so much for including me <3
All about that upright bass. SO GOOD.
Easy reminders to get in your workout.
Count me healthy bracelets. I was so excited when Chelsea Charles reached out to me about these awesome bracelets. I mean, my permanent marker on the water bottle trick worked to count my water intake, but this is a little more fun. 😉
These gorgeous bracelets can be used to count anything you’d like to track. Some ideas: water intake, weekly workouts, nursing or pumping sessions for mamas, words of kindness, or positive thoughts. They can also be a helpful technique for those who are looking to break habits, such as cigarette smoking (by counting how many days you’ve gone without), or reducing artificial sweeteners. All you do is slide is the little beads from side to side.
Wearing it throughout the day is also a beautiful visual reminder of your goals. I love how well-constructed the bracelets are; while dainty, they’re extremely durable.
Chelsea Charles kindly sent me two bracelets: one for me, and one for one of you. The rose gold Tri-color bracelet I have to give away is valued at $105, and since it’s in my possession, you never know what will make it’s way into the winner’s goodie mail. (I’ve been known to put in fun beauty products, homemade cookies, snacks and treats.)
If you’d like to enter, just leave a comment with something you’re loving today, or something you’d count via your new bracelet 🙂
Happy Friday!
xoxo
Gina

I’m loving my puppy dog and watching him grow! I’d love to have a beautiful way to keep track of water intake. It’s hard in an office with the fountain so far away to get motivated!
I love what that bracelet stands for. The means is so much more than the jewelry itself.
I’m absolutely loving see the trees change this fall during my trail runs:)
That bracelet is beautiful!
Something I’m loving… my daughter! I mean of course I love her everyday, but I love that she is growing up to have such a kind, compassionate soul. She is 16 years old, and while a lot of the kids around her are dying to be popular, or bullies, she doesn’t need that. She is always helping others, and is so positive.
I am loving the weather here in Raleigh, today. It’s supposed to rain this weekend so I’m soaking it up all that I can until then. Also, I would definitely count my water intake because I’m not the biggest water fan so I have to make myself drink it.
Today I’m loving this beautiful weather we have here in the Tri-State- it is in the 70s and sunny- Perfect!

I have a desk job, so I’d use it to count how many times I get up and move around each day!
I am loving fall goodies!
Awesome! Right now I’m loving this cooler weather in Phoenix, temps are cooling down finally. That means walks outside and more visits to the parks with my girls.
I think it would be neat to count how many deliberate acts of kindness one does throughout the week. thanks for the giveaway!
Despite how rainy and grey it has been in my neck of the woods, I am loving that fall is finally here. That I can start pulling out snuggly sweaters and baking cookies again. LOVE this time of the year. It also just so happens to be the time of the year that I met my hubby, and everything about this season makes me fall in love with him all over again. <3<3<3
I’ve been thinking about being very aware about how much I love my boyfriend. We never know what life brings, and I don’t want to miss out on any moment and memory we are making together.
I am loving my morning Meditation 🙂
I am loving my day off. I am horrible about taking them, but when I do I make the most of it!
I’m loving making my daughter fall baby food with all seasonal fruits and veggies!!!!!
I’m loving that the weather has cooled down and it is finally feeling like fall. I would use the bracelet to track my water intake. I always think I’m going to remember and then it’s 10pm and I can remember if I’ve had 1 glass or 10.
I’m loving the rainy weather and the new chocolate shop that just opened in my town. It’s definitely a hot cocoa kind of morning!
