Friday Faves + Pro Compression leggings giveaway
Happy Friday! What do you have going on this weekend? Any fun fitness adventures or races?
Here are some faves from the week and around the web:
Henna tattoo. I’m kind of obsessed with my henna tattoo from the Yoga Journal conference. It’s exactly the type of real tattoo, in the same spot, that I’ve been wanting for years.
I told the Pilot, “They have real tattoo ink that looks just like henna!”
His response, “You know what else looks just like henna? Henna.”
Wahhhhhh.
Organic cherries.
Bo-Beau Kitchen. In Tucson, we had a spot that we went to all the time: The Abbey. It was “our place” and we love the food (Modern comfort American food and the best cheese boards) and atmosphere. We walked into Bo-Beau and knew immediately that we had found our new place. You can check out pics of the incredible decor and scope out the menu on the website, but we were both blown away. We shared a flatbread (goat cheese with beet and jalapeño), I ordered the scallops (the Pilot had steak), a wine flight, and shared the Ménage à Trois dessert(peanut brittle, chocolate, chery cheesecake and mint chocolate mousse). I’m pretty sure I was bopping my head to the live accordion music with the biggest creeper foodgasm smile on my face.
The Tory Burch for FitBit bracelet. I’m dyyyyying.
The hope that all of my impromptu Broadway musical singing will indexed come in handy.
Canyon Ranch Inspiration Awards, in partnership with Health Magazine. Canyon Ranch is providing these awards as their way of honoring everyday men and women who inspire others through their actions or efforts to live, work, play or love better. 70 people will win a 4-day trip to the Tucson or Lenox property, as well as $670 in spa credit. Amazing, right? Nominate someone that inspires you, and check out the full details here.
Rocking Birkenstocks again. If I’m going to wear unattractive shoes, might as well get them in bright pink 😉 SO comfy.
Pro compression leggings! (Discount alert: use the code “FITLEGS” to get 30% off the leggings or anything + FREE SHIPPING on the site. For the leggings, go one size up.) They sent me a pair to try out, and I especially appreciate the thick (aka not see-through), luxe fabric and flattering waistband. I’m really picky about leggings, especially since I wear them so often, and these are my new favorite pair.
You can switch up the style and length with the reversible cuff:
There is also an internal pocket (where I stash my car key and Gu) and the pants are moisture-wicking. I wore them to spin class and they felt awesome the entire time.
Pro compression offered to give away a pair of leggings to a lucky reader; just enter via the widget below. This giveaway will end Sunday night at midnight, and the lucky winner will be announced Monday am.
Ready, set, go!
Happy Friday 🙂

the leggings are so cute!
My legs need these pants for my half marathon training!
Cute leggings !
LOVE the reversible cuffs!!
Cute leggings AND sandals. Love them. The henna tattoo is very nice – if it is something you truly want to do and have for a long time, don’t forget that it is your body. I’m sure you want your husband’s support (I would too) but if it is important to you, he should be willing to come around. It would be on your wrist after all…. Not his. Henna is a nice alternative though.
Cute leggings, I love the reversible cuff!
I look forward to your posts. You are so fun to follow and I love the variety you include… the workouts, recipes, life, and humor 🙂
Those leggings are adorable! The reversible cuff is such a cool idea!
The cuff is so adorable!!
Love the leggings! I think I need to do a little shopping!
That tory burch bracelet makes me want to go out and buy a fitbit just so I have a reason to get it! 😉
Also – loving the leggings…stylish enough that you could totally get away with wearing them around outside of the gym (which I totally do anyway…..)
Using leggings is so comfortable! I could sleep with them hahaha, and in my case is hard to find one that stick around me and don’t fall when I’m jumping or running :/
These look amazing! I’m always on the look out for a great pair of leggings 🙂
Ahhh I love the rolled cuff on those! So cute!
I love the cuff on these!
I love that the leggings have the reversible touch!
Those leggings are super flattering. Love love love!!!!
always wanted to try a pair of compression leggings!
The leggings are nice looking! I saw an email from them when they came out and was curious.
huh. i am loving that reversible cuff!
Ever since you first posted about these leggings, I have wanted to get a pair. Like you I also have had a weird knee injury that occurred mysteriously. ever since then I haven’t been able to run more than a mile! I hope these leggings would help in some way!
Love them! I have started teaching Barre this month and I appreciate a good pair of leggings!
The “perfect” leggings are such a hard thing find! I love lululemon but have had issues with the thickness of the material and no one likes to worry about their bum being visible to everyone around!
Those leggings look AWESOME
I love the fold up cuff! That’s genius! For fun fitness adventure stories, it’s been a while since I went to my usual hot yoga studio and since I last went, they moved locations and this new location doesn’t have showers. BUT I was offered a hose down after class to make up for it. Hah! I thought this was hilarious, but I politely declined.
Love these! Just trying to get into more mix of fitness activities!
Love the leggings … especially the reversible cuffs
The leggings are so cute!! Isn’t Bo Beau delish? We love that place too!
I SO want a pair of Birkenstocks… even if they aren’t the most attractive things ever 😉
you should google henna and indian weddings!
I love that Tory Burch bracelet. I think we’ll be seeing a lot more of bracelets that work with the fitbit like that, hopefully a little less pricey!
that’s what i’m hoping, too!
I bought the last pair of compression tights you recommended, and LOVE them. They changed how I felt about long distance running! I would love another pair that is a little more versatile. I also just starting wearing Birkenstocks around, they are a fabulous change!
I love your henna tattoo! Reminds me of spring break in college where I got one. I loved it – and j love that it was temporary and not long lasting. I’m definitely not a long term tattoo kinda person
I would love these leggings!!!
these would be perfect for my first marathon! timely giveaway 🙂 Thank you! ! 🙂
The leggings are so cute and modern 😉
The cuffs are adorable!
I also am thinking of getting a tattoo – but I’m a teacher, so it’s hard to decide on a place where to put it that will be easy enough to cover up, but I can still see it!
Henna tattoos are the best! Plus you can change them up!
SO in love with these. I have just started running and thing these would be great!
Love the shoes!! I bet I could get away with them at work — yay IT– being around software engineers all day who don’t care! 😀
These leggings are so cute!
I’ve been looking for a new compression legging… Love the pair I have, however I’m sure the people behind me think otherwise…(very see-thru;)) long tanks for the win!
Love compression sleeves and i’m sure the leggings are just as amazing!
Such cute leggings!
I would love these for post-long run recovery…especially at 25 weeks pregnant!
Very interesting lock holder! Where did you find this pic?
I’ve not seen leggings with a cuff before. Cute!
Birki’s are my go to footwear in the summer too…I love them in pink!
The leggings are great!
That restaurant sounds amaaaaaazing!
And I totally used to rock the Birks in middle school (in olive green…eeeeewwww). Glad they’ve diversified their color selection 😉
