Friday faves + Jabra Rox giveaway
Hi! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? Any fun parties or BBQs planned?? (Hereโs a post with some healthy BBQ ideas if youโre planning ahead!)
Weโve had a wonderful time hanging out with the Pilotโs mama/MIL/Liviโs nana this past week. Itโs been so much fun to show her around San Diego and enjoy time together. Since the Pilot has been gone frequently since weโve been here, it took a little longer than weโd hoped to get her out here for a visit. Thankfully, it finally happened, and itโs been great to have her here.
Some faves from the week and around the web:
The Old Spice Guyโs ice bucket challenge video.
THIS HOBO. Iโve been eyeing it for a while and now itโs on s-a-l-eโฆ
The science behind making the perfect cookie.
THIS WINE. Weโre fans of the classic over here, but I was stoked to see the Midnight version at Baronโs. It is to diiieeee for; probably in my top five inexpensive reds. Weโll definitely be getting it again!
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 (Benโs Bells); hoping to make it down there for this. If you live in Tucson or nearby, check out the details here. Itโs 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, Iโve been missing out! Iโm notorious for getting my hands tangled in the wires while running, and violently ripping the earbuds out of my ears. Itโs a little painful. I was pretty excited when Jabra ROX offered to send me a pair of their Bluetooth wireless headphones to try.
The sound is crystal clear and AMAZING. Theyโre 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. Iโm excited to see how they pass the โear 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 Iโll pick a lucky winner Monday night at midnight (EST).
Happy Friday! See ya later today for Fitness Fashion Friday.

my favorite workout song is always “freakum dress” by Beyonce. really, anything by Beyonce. girl can motivate!
Ha – I was a little iffy about bringing up “ear sweat” in one of my previous comments, but it looks like it’s a known fact in the fitness world. Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one! (Although every else doing cardio at the gym with the everyday-iPhone headphones seems to do just fine. I get in a fight with mine to stay put and it’s exhausting.)
Anyway – I would absolutely love to enter this giveaway for obvious reasons! My favorite workout song lately is “Dog Days are Over” by Florence and the Machine. “Run fast for your mother and fast for your father!” Love it. ๐
Something reggaeton is my typical go to choice.
I’ve been running old school to U2’s “Where the Streets Have No Name”.
My favorite workout song at the moment is “Shake it Off” by tswift!
My current favorite is a throwback — “Top Back” by TI. Why? It reminds me of our championship volleyball team senior year in high school 8 years ago! It always pushes me through the end of a tough workout.
Baby Got Back!
My current favorite workout song is Talk Dirty. Yeah I know I’m a thousand years behind but whatever, I can’t get enough ๐
I’ve been working out to Something Bad by Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert!
Firework by Katy Perry
My favorite workout song right now is Don’t by Ed Sheeran, I even sing along while I’m running!
i cant think of the name right now, but there was this one song in the kettleball class i took last night that was so motivating! those earbuds would be awesome for runs ๐
My favorite workout song lately is… silence! Things have been so hectic that I’ve been enjoying quiet runs!
My favorite is the Flex Gym Duck “Barbara Streisand” mashup – Duck Sauce vs. Dizzee Rascal vs. Ray Krebs – Flex Gym Duck [Marc Johnce] . Love mashups for running!
I love some good eminem and Imagine Dragons!
I’m loving “Turn Down for What” by DJ Snake and Lil Jon!
OMG! I need these headphones… Living in New York City its almost a requirment to walk with headphones in. I am in the same boat with ripping my head phones out on a daily basis eekkkk!
My current favorite work song ins Awholnation Sail I love this song during a hill in spin class!
Happy Labor Day weekend ๐
My new fave workout song is Pharrel & Miley’s “Come Get it Bae”
So catchy!
I am loving Taylor Swift’s Shake it off.
Shake it off- Taylor Swift! Helped me pull out a PR at my half marathon last weekend!
I’ve been on a Pitch Perfect kick in preparation for the second installment. So many good ones, but the “Just the Way You Are/Just a Dream” mashup is my current jam ๐
My Favorite workout song is Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones
I hate to admit it…but Taylor Swifts ‘shake it off’ is my favorite right now! ๐
I mostly listen to podcasts when I run (nerd alert) but party rock anthem and some old school fall out boy never fail me
My favorite workout song right now is Pump up the Jam. I just found some old school playlists and I’m loving them.
I hear ya with the headphone wires…one of the most annoying parts of running! Wireless headphones are definitely on my Christmas list.
All about that bass, bang bang and as much as I’m embarrassed to admit it…anything by pitbull!
All about the bass! Thanks for the giveaway!
Right now I cannot get enough of “If I Go” by Elle Eyre. Perfect beat and build up!
Oh, I want/need these headphones!!!
My current favorite workout song is Am I Wrong by Nico and Vinz
I listen to podcasts when I run because music makes me push the pace too much. My current fave is the podcast from Another Mother Runner.
Don’t by Ed Sheeran!
First – I just recently started reading your blog and I love it! I am absolutely loving your workouts, especially your HIIT and Tabata! One quick question – How often should you be doing HIIT style workouts? Are they ok to do everyday, or should you space them out? I’ve been trying to mix them in with running or another steady-state cardio on alternating days (so, HIIT one day, run the next, etc.) Thanks!
Favorite workout song right now is Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj!
All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor!
Basically I’ve been letting the spotify workout channel pick my songs for me, and it is pretty much the most awesome thing ever. I really like that I can pick by bpm depending on what type of workout I’m doing. I think these would be awesome for strength workouts too, since it feels like I’m always struggling with where the wires go during transitions from floor work to standing to arms. These would be awesome!
What a great giveaway! I recently unearthed a guilty pleasure work-out song from the past – Fergalicious by Fergie. It definitely puts the pep in my step! ๐
Right now my favorite workout song is “Ain’t It Fun” by Paramore
My favorite workout song is a #tbt classic that never fails to give me a bouncing my step: “Fantasy” by Mariah Carey.
Ahh these would be amazinggg! My current fav workout song is “Fireball” by Pitbull!
I’ve been listening to the workout station on pandora lately.
These look AWESOME! Current fave workout song is Summer by Calvin Harris!
I’m loving the Rock My Run remixes!
Not toooo new of a song but, Really Don’t Care by Demi Lovato Featuring Cher Lloyd..perfect for jumps and sprints in my spin classes! ๐
Ain’t it fun
Right now my favorite workout song is Break Free- Arianna Grande!
Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” is always on my gym playlist now, lovin’ that tune!
“All About That Bass” by Meghan Trainor has been my go to workout jam lately.
I’m loving the new Taylor Swift song!
I Wanna Get Better by Bleachers… it’s really hard for me to not sing along!
