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

    My current favorite is Coco Jambo ๐Ÿ˜€

  2. Abby on August 29, 2014 at 6:28 pm

    I really like to listen to folksy fun music when I work out, not the usual “power jams” because they’re not what I listen to outside of the gym. But definitely upbeat songs.

  3. Melissa on August 29, 2014 at 6:30 pm

    I am loving “All About that Bass” by Meghan Trainor. Looking through this list makes me feel the need to make a new playlist

  4. Leah H. on August 29, 2014 at 6:34 pm

    Black Widow! Soo on repeat at the moment

  5. Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat on August 29, 2014 at 6:35 pm

    Very cool! Right now, my fave workout song is Long Way Home by Gareth Emery. Such a great, uplifting beat to get lost in during long runs!

    I’ve been listening to Diana Ross on repeat!

  17. Brynn on August 29, 2014 at 7:14 pm

    I’m loving Til I Collapse by Eminem. It came on when I was feeling sluggish on a run and it pumped me up and the beat made me pick up the pace.

  18. Alexandra on August 29, 2014 at 7:17 pm

    My Florence and the Machine station on Pandora can always pump me up!

  32. Ashley v on August 29, 2014 at 8:41 pm

    I actually really like listening to podcasts rather than music. Ask Me Another, Radio Lab, and This American Life are three of my favorites!

  33. Katie on August 29, 2014 at 8:42 pm

    Harder, better, faster stronger — not so new but still solid

  40. Vicki L. on August 29, 2014 at 9:08 pm

    My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light ‘Em Up) but Fall-out Boy. Whenever it comes on the radio when I’m running, it gives me an extra little kick.

  41. Erin M. on August 29, 2014 at 9:13 pm

    I love blow me one last kiss by pink.

  42. Brittany on August 29, 2014 at 9:16 pm
