Party mode
Purple shoes for Zumba
(see the blanket of pollen on the ground? Not so fun)
this button on the Pilot’s new wheels
(I got scary excited when I saw it. The button transfers the balance to the back part of the SUV, perfection for tailgaiting)
and a tamale. Party in my mouth.
Our family tamale guy stopped by my nana’s house with fresh green corn tamales last night. She brought some over today… so, so good with my salad beast and kombucha. Reason #14,576 why I love living in Tucson: fresh tamales all the time. (When we lived away, my nana and mom were so sweet to ship them to us often. A little piece of home in the FedEx box)
More eats:
Bowl of fruit, uber Larabar (Apple turnover- it was good, but my least fave of the 3 I’ve tried so far. As of now, the rankings go: nut #1, cherry #2 and apple #3), 2 eggs, banana almond muffin + the random things I ate at work (including an entire pack of deli meat, chips and homemade salsa)
I’m toast from today. Pool class, Zumba, and drumming, so it was a high-energy and fun afternoon. I’m about to dry my hair and meet up with the girls because Jeni just got into town! SO so excited to see her. I might cry of happiness.
Hope you’re enjoying your Thursday! Any fun plans for the long weekend? We’re having some friends over for a playdate tomorrow afternoon, dinner out with everyone tomorrow night and a BBQ on Sunday.
Hope you have a great night <3

Today’s tip: Take out a tennis ball and roll the bottom of your feet, applying as little or as much pressure as you need. I did this before leaving work and could feet all of the tiny knots that were hidden in there!

Have fun with the girls!
cute shoes!
I am loving the UBER bars too! Just bought a pack of the nut roll flavor…definitely my fave too! So sweet and salty!
What kinda of car did the pilot end up getting? I’m in the market for a new SUV!
A new 4runner- we absolutely love it
I second this! We got the new body style in 2010 – 2 full years later we still have so much fun driving it!! It’s a great family car, and the trunk is perfect for our 2 (very large) dogs. The gas mileage is not terrible compared to what you might expect from such a huge vehicle.
Did he get a 4Runner?? My hubby has the ‘Party Mode’ button 🙂
Yes! 🙂
Twinsies
I sometimes wish that this was facebook because I would totally ‘like’ your comment Gina!
Sweeeet!
I love tamales!!!!!!!!! Extra spicy! how hot do you like em? I always say that they are a piece of heaven wrapped in a dried corn husk! I wish I was able to get them at more then one restaurant in my area!
That pool is so gorgeous, the place you work for sounds amazing!! I love that the pilots car has a party feature, that is so cool!
That pool photo is pure peace.
I love the party mode button; what a fun feature!
I want a party button. Jeaaaaal.
They have everything in cars now!
So I’m reading through your comments about the ‘Party Mode’ button and see you just got a 4 Runner. Well, we got a new 4Runner in October and I thought to myself that is weird, we have the Limited Edition and no Party Mode button. Go out to the garage and lo and behold I found that button…lol! I’ve been too preoccupied with figuring out the navigation, back up camera and touch screen stereo system that I didn’t even see this…ha ha. Thanks for the new discovery 7 months post new car purchase;)
I LOVED the banana bread Uber. It’s the only one I tried though. Also, I totally scarf the entire pack of deli meat. Glad I’m not the only one.
4Runners are the best! My husband has a used ’01 4-runner, & we’ve NEVER had a problem w/it (we’ve had it 3 years), & we LOVE it!
We have a lady who sells tamales out of her car on the side of the road here (sounds super sketchy I know but they’re amazing), she’s never in the same place so its always super exciting when you find her haha I always think of her when you post tamales
there’s a party mode button? Oh where was this when I was 21? 🙂
I tried that exact same kind of kombucha two days ago! Not gonna lie I was a little scared… seeing all that yeast in the bottom but I kept saying… Gina drinks it all the time, is haaas to be good.
And it was amazing! Thank you for introducing me to it!
love love love tamales!!!!
Love love love the purple shoes!!!
My pilot has a 4runner and they’re freaking awesome!
I love, love your purple shoes!!
Yes! Party button = I would buy that car!
Love the shoes! I am obsessed with new sneakers 🙂 I love seeing you eats too! They’re always so well balanced and give me some inspiration for my own day! Have fun this weekend!
Can I just say how much I love that you have a tamale guy? How does one find a tamale guy? I feel like I need to visit Tucson for the sole purpose of eating myself into a Mexican food coma.
That’s my fave Kombucha!
Also… everyone needs a Party Button. That is too funny/amazing!
I have recently discovered tamales. Oh my word! Boy, have I been missing out. Texture in food is just as important to me as taste. And authentic tamales have the best texture and obviously taste amazing!
Random: How do you have a drink and breastfeed? I want a margarita SO BAD!! I just read all sorts of “how to’s”- Information overload. I just need a simple answer and I totally trust your judgement.
my midwives told me one drink is nbd- check w your doc
I am exhausted from teaching so much this week too!! 1 more class (Zumba) to go today! I can do this 🙂 P.s. love the party button!!
what a great quote.
I have never enjoyed exercise and follow your blog with curiosity (plus we’re both sort of “natural” mamas). I find you so inspiring, esp to be so young and have accomplished so much!
So, yesterday I watched that YouTube Zumba video you posted and decided that actually looks like fun. So I ordered the DVDs from Amazon 🙂
I. Want. That. Button. Now.!! Haha.
Great tip too! I’ve never done that before. Interested to see if I have any knots 🙂
Love your purple Zumba shoes!! That Party Button is too funny!
I have massive jealousy issues towards your purple zumba shoes!
