I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!<\/p>\n
May you be as content as Lola with a crunchy tree branch she brought inside to eat on the couch.<\/p>\n
(Usually I can snatch whatever she has on her way in, but I missed this one and had to snap a pic before cleaning up her giant mess)<\/p>\n We had our symphony show last weekend, celebrating America\u2019s 250th birthday. It was a mix of patriotic songs and pieces from American composers. I was thrilled to be a tiny part of it and enjoyed every minute. The Overture of 1812 with electric canon was the cherry on top.<\/p>\n With the fam (minus Liv because she asked to be cropped out)<\/p>\n The Pilot and I had a date night at Tinajas, which is a super cute wine bar. You can customize your cheese boards and the have an amazing selection of wine and cocktails.<\/p>\n It was the perfect parent date night, capped off by a slightly unhinged trip to Target Updated ShopMy with some recent outfits!<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019m in a huge book slump and usually historical fiction will snap me out of it, but it feels too heavy with the chaos of life right now. If you have any books you read recently that you couldn\u2019t put down, please lmk!<\/p>\n Martha Stewart on TSC podcast.<\/a> Obsessed.<\/p>\n This week, I blitzed through the rest of the first part of\u00a0Bridgerton<\/em> and it was everything. I felt like last season was pretty meh, but can\u2019t wait for this one to resume in a few days. It\u2019s good!!<\/p>\n This made me LOL. Have you watched his full special on Netflix?<\/a><\/p>\n Chocolate covered strawberries. I made them for Valentine\u2019s Day and the kids loved them! I just melted chocolate chips, added a little coconut oil, dipped the strawberries and drizzled with white chocolate. Super easy and it was a fun Valentine\u2019s Day treat:<\/p>\n Daily Nutritional Support strawberry<\/a>! I usually have the chocolate (every single day) but they recently released Wild Strawberry<\/a>. It\u2019s SO good. I was planning on making my usual protein pudding with it, but it was so good, I drank it straight-up. It tastes like strawberry milk – major nostalgia- but is packed with vitamins, minerals, and protein.<\/p>\n Both dogs go CRAZY for this healthy homemade dog food.<\/a><\/p>\n Sparkly nails for Saturday\u2019s event. It\u2019s light brown cateye with Dream of Dubai glitter on top:<\/p>\n (handbag got sent back to Vivrelle<\/a> but I can’t wait for the next one to arrive! You can check it out here<\/a> and use GINAHARNEY for 100% off your first month. You have to apply first<\/a> – it’s quick- and then you can enjoy the full experience.)<\/p>\n Whole foods red lentil dahl copycat soup<\/a>.<\/p>\n Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I\u2019ll see ya soon!<\/p>\n xoxo<\/p>\n Gina<\/p>\n The post 2.20 Friday Faves<\/a> appeared first on The Fitnessista<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi friends!
