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 flatbread and scallops sound delicious!
I’ve been trying to pick up my mileage for a Spartan Race. These would be a lovely addition to training and might help with leg fatigue!
Love your posts! Happy Friday!
Love the versatility on the leggings!
Is the Pilot anti-tattoo?
Is your lead photo of the Pont des’Artes in Paris? I lived 2 blocks from there for 2012-3. Miss it so much!
These leggings look amazing!
Such a great giveaway! I have Pro Compression sleeves and love them.
Great giveaway-I’d love a new pair of leggings! Also, bless you for that link to Tacky. It was HILARIOUS, and I found the other videos he’s released so far-Word Crimes is perfection!
Great giveaway! Was just saying yesterday I need new workout leggings! Thanks for your wonderful site. I visit daily!
Lovin the leggings!
Oooh, I’ve heard great things about Pro Compression. Would love to try them out!
So cute! I hope win 😉
Those look so comfy and stylish!
Those leggings look amazing! I have been wanting a new pair leggings for awhile and you may have just convinced me to check these out!!
The Pilot’s response is EXACTLY what my husband would say! I need to get into the compression thing….
great post!! and excellent giveaway!!
I am obsessed with henna this summer too. Just got my second one (on my wrist) last night at the farmer’s market… $5, can’t beat it!
Love the henna!
I love that those leggings have the reversible cuff! Sooooo fun!
you sound like you want a tattoo, why not get one? 🙂 i have 3 and am in love with them! i actually just got a huge mermaid thigh piece in american traditional style 3wks ago. my husband is going to get a telescope like this: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/51791464437220149/ with a mermaid silhouette in it on his tricep 🙂 kinda an homage to couples tattoos without LITERALLY inking your names or identical flash on each other ha.
as far as crops go, i’m not picky! if they are soft and stay up at the waistband, then i’m golden. happy weekend!
Tory Burch anything is my favorite. :)) Just snagged the new Tory Burch tall boots @ work, during the Nordy anniversary sale + my discount = brag worthy. Thx for alerting me about the new TB fit bit. I must have that. My birthdays coming up…. !
I have my daughter’s names beautifully written on the insides of my wrists (which I’ve wanted forever, and would never regret) BUT it hurt like a mother. I’m talking hurt. Word to the wise.
I have to find another place for daughter #3’s name – Yikes! That’s really all the tattoos I care to get. My Husband has a ton though – and I love his tattoos <3
I like your site. You make me giggle often 🙂
Loving the henna tattoo! and I’m always on the lookout for new workout clothes, would love to try these!
These leggings look amazing! I run a lot and have been looking for a good new pair.
I’ve heard great things about these leggings! Would love a pair 🙂
I will definitely have to check out Pro Compression leggings. I really like the reversible cuff on them, I tend to wear the same couple of pairs and that is a fun way to mix it up!
I’ve been looking for a good pair of workout leggings. I wore out my last ones over the winter!
Fun giveaway! I need some new workout capris!
Have been looking for new leggings! Need a lululemon alternative, these are great!
I have heard good things about these leggins.
Awesome giveaway, thank you!
I wish henna was the kind of tattoo I only put on my body. The leggings are cute, I love the cuffs it adds a different look.
happy friday!
i would love a pair of the new pro compression leggings. i have a pair of neon pink compression calf sleeves and they’re the best!
I love the look of those leggings and could really use a good pair.
Love your blog!
I live in, and am picky about leggings, too! #trainerproblems
I work part time at Tory Burch. Everyone went crazy at the FitBit announcement. We knew it was coming a few weeks ago but didn’t really expect that type of reaction. Our pre-sale list is a mile long. And, as you can imagine, my phone has been blowing up with people asking me to hook them up. Sadly, we don’t even get our employee discount on it! Whatever. #BuyingOneAnyway
Those leggings are so cute!
Thanks for the giveaway! Happy Friday!
Nice! I really need some new leggings, and those look cool…
Cute Birkenstocks! I love the color! I wear mine almost everyday! Those leggings sound nice, I will leave to check them out!
That show tunes thing made. my. day.
Love the pilot’s response. You look great and totally buff!
Those leggings look awesome. I always wear my compression socks after a run (and on airplanes) – I’d love to check these out.
Love that you can roll the leggings up!
It’s nice that these leggings have thick material. The only pair I have are pretty thin so I don’t wear them often.
Always love checking out new workout leggings! And i saw the tory burch for fitbit the other day and got so excited as well!
so cute! lime looks great on you 🙂
How do you think these compare to the CW-X tights? And I LOVE Birkenstocks. I have a bright aqua pair and to be honest, I get the most compliments on those out of all the shoes I own. <3
The cw-x mimic kt taping and awesome for long runs, but these are more everyday leggings for short runs, cross training, strength or yoga
Love the leggings! They are so cute!
Thanks for the chance!! I am looking for the perfect pair of leggings.
