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 favorite workout song is always “freakum dress” by Beyonce. really, anything by Beyonce. girl can motivate!

  2. Vanessa De La Rosa on August 29, 2014 at 10:09 am

    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. ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Anna on August 29, 2014 at 10:10 am

    Something reggaeton is my typical go to choice.

  4. Karen on August 29, 2014 at 10:11 am

  6. Aimee M on August 29, 2014 at 10:13 am

    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.

  7. Lisa on August 29, 2014 at 10:14 am

    Baby Got Back!

  8. Alex @ True Femme on August 29, 2014 at 10:15 am

    Shake it off- Taylor Swift! Helped me pull out a PR at my half marathon last weekend!

  21. Carrie on August 29, 2014 at 10:25 am

    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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

  24. Stephanie on August 29, 2014 at 10:27 am

    I mostly listen to podcasts when I run (nerd alert) but party rock anthem and some old school fall out boy never fail me

  25. Amy Friel on August 29, 2014 at 10:29 am

    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.

  26. Hannah on August 29, 2014 at 10:31 am

    All about that bass, bang bang and as much as I’m embarrassed to admit it…anything by pitbull!

  27. Christin on August 29, 2014 at 10:31 am

    All about the bass! Thanks for the giveaway!

  28. Erin Kenny on August 29, 2014 at 10:32 am

    Right now I cannot get enough of “If I Go” by Elle Eyre. Perfect beat and build up!

  29. Brooke on August 29, 2014 at 10:36 am

    Oh, I want/need these headphones!!!

    My current favorite workout song is Am I Wrong by Nico and Vinz

  30. Sarah C on August 29, 2014 at 10:37 am

    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.

  31. Barb on August 29, 2014 at 10:40 am

    Don’t by Ed Sheeran!

  32. Marjie on August 29, 2014 at 10:42 am

    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!

  33. Brooke P on August 29, 2014 at 10:43 am

    All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor!

  34. Meredith on August 29, 2014 at 10:43 am

    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!

  35. Michallynn on August 29, 2014 at 10:45 am

    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! ๐Ÿ™‚

  36. Lauren S. on August 29, 2014 at 10:48 am

    Right now my favorite workout song is “Ain’t It Fun” by Paramore
