Hi! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? Any fun parties or BBQs planned?? (Hereโ€™s a post with some healthy BBQ ideas if youโ€™re planning ahead!)

Weโ€™ve had a wonderful time hanging out with the Pilotโ€™s mama/MIL/Liviโ€™s nana this past week. Itโ€™s been so much fun to show her around San Diego and enjoy time together. Since the Pilot has been gone frequently since weโ€™ve been here, it took a little longer than weโ€™d hoped to get her out here for a visit. Thankfully, it finally happened, and itโ€™s been great to have her here.

Some faves from the week and around the web:

The Old Spice Guyโ€™s ice bucket challenge video

THIS HOBO. Iโ€™ve been eyeing it for a while and now itโ€™s on s-a-l-eโ€ฆ 

The science behind making the perfect cookie.

THIS WINE. Weโ€™re fans of the classic over here, but I was stoked to see the Midnight version at Baronโ€™s. It is to diiieeee for; probably in my top five inexpensive reds. Weโ€™ll definitely be getting it again!

Midnight  1 of 1

Finding my beloved eyebrow brush. This is a random thing to love so much, but my Anastasia stencil and eyebrow brush have been missing for a week. I unearthed them from under the makeup drawer, in the way, way back (along with a long lost lipgloss). It was like Christmas! 

More reasons coconut oil is awesome.

Yoga Rave in Tucson! I love Session Yoga and the cause (Benโ€™s Bells); hoping to make it down there for this. If you live in Tucson or nearby, check out the details here. Itโ€™s going to be an incredible event.

Stability ball exercises for a strong back.

These earbuds. It was my first time trying wireless headphones, and man, Iโ€™ve been missing out! Iโ€™m notorious for getting my hands tangled in the wires while running, and violently ripping the earbuds out of my ears. Itโ€™s a little painful. I was pretty excited when Jabra ROX offered to send me a pair of their Bluetooth wireless headphones to try.

Rox headphones

The sound is crystal clear and AMAZING. Theyโ€™re also easy to set up and use. At first, I was worried they were too big for my ears, but after using the attachments, they stay put pretty well. Iโ€™m excited to see how they pass the โ€œear sweatโ€ test on a distance run. 

Jabra kindly offered a pair of these for a lucky reader as well (valued at $130!). To enter, just leave a comment below with your current favorite workout song and Iโ€™ll pick a lucky winner Monday night at midnight (EST).

Happy Friday! See ya later today for Fitness Fashion Friday.

xoxo

Gina

    My favorite song right now is an oldie but a goodie! I can’t stop listening to Miss Jackson by Panic! At The Disco, it gets me fired up!

  2. Kim @ FITsique on August 29, 2014 at 7:17 am

    Awesome pictures! Who knew there was a science to making cookies. I always figure as long as chocolate was involved they were good ๐Ÿ˜‰ I can’t say I have a favorite workout song, but I always love when old pop songs come on (think Nsync or Destiny’s Child). They always make me smile and pick my work out up a little bit.

  3. Nicole on August 29, 2014 at 7:19 am

  33. haley @Cupcakes and Sunshine.com on August 29, 2014 at 7:52 am

    I am really liking the song “Sail” by Awolnation. It came on my Pandora channel and really gets me running!

  34. Linda @ Fit Fed and Happy on August 29, 2014 at 7:54 am

    I don’t know what it’s called, but it goes,

    “NO NO NO NO NO NO PLACE I’D RATHER BE”

  35. Linda on August 29, 2014 at 7:56 am

    I don’t think I have a favorite workout song. But I will say that most of my playlists are made up of songs from the 80s. So maybe i can say that’s my favorite workout decade?

  36. Catlin on August 29, 2014 at 7:58 am

    Shake it off by Taylor Swift ๐Ÿ™‚

  37. Amanda on August 29, 2014 at 8:01 am

    Don’t laugh- current favorite workout song is No DIggity..I’m still a 90s girl!

  38. Gina H. on August 29, 2014 at 8:01 am

    Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You) by Kelly Clarkson always gives me an energy boost!

  39. Niki on August 29, 2014 at 8:01 am

    Ghost by Ella Henderson has been on repeat during my gym visits the last few weeks!

  40. Jean on August 29, 2014 at 8:02 am

    I thought I was gonna be the only one to write this but guess I am wrong. I love All About That Bass for spin. It’s a fun out of the saddle song.

  41. Anne on August 29, 2014 at 8:03 am

    It’s ridiculously clichรฉ but my favorite is still kelly Clarckson, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger haha!

  42. Shelly on August 29, 2014 at 8:05 am

    I need these! My song is random… Clocks by Coldplay.

  43. Kate on August 29, 2014 at 8:07 am

    All about that bass is great.

  44. Ashley {The North Carolina Cowgirl} on August 29, 2014 at 8:12 am

    My favorite songs that get me pumped and moving while working out are “Problem” by Ariana Grande, “Something Bad” Carrie Underwood and Miranda and “Sunshine & Whiskey” by Frankie Ballard. ๐Ÿ™‚

  45. Chrissy @ Pink Polish and Running Shoes on August 29, 2014 at 8:14 am

    My current favorite workout song is “Payback” by Rascal Flatts.

  46. Melanie on August 29, 2014 at 8:15 am

    Light em up by Fallout Boy is the best!

  47. Becky on August 29, 2014 at 8:16 am

    Fallout Boy โ€“ Light Em Up

  48. Kate D. on August 29, 2014 at 8:17 am

    Since I am in my third trimester and I am doing far less intense workouts these days. I like a lot of instrumental, old blues/ jazz or classic rock. It keeps me revved up for workouts that are much slower and would feel more boring without the intensity I am use to.

  49. Nicole @ Squash on Squash on August 29, 2014 at 8:18 am

    Aahhhh I need new headphones terribly! Mine have completely died. I’m interested to know if these Jabra ones pass the sweat test though- that’s a major selling point for me. My favourite workout song? It’s kind of embarrassing: “Heart Vacancy” by The Wanted (DJ from Mars remix).

  50. Amy on August 29, 2014 at 8:24 am

    Too funny! Someone already said mine-panic at the disco “miss Jackson”- totally inspired by body pump!
