Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you had a lovely one! We escaped for some beach time, Kleiger fam time and cooler weather in San Diego – it was perfect. The week ended with a little golf tournament fun with friends, an afternoon at the pool,<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

and watching the Wildcats win!<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to hear what you have going on!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup. I always love hearing about your faves from the week and around the web, so please shout out something you\u2019re loving in the comments section below.<\/p>\n

3.20 Friday Faves<\/h2>\n

Fashion, beauty, random:<\/h3>\n

San Diego!! We hopped on a non-rev flight and had two FULL days in one of our favorite places. We landed by 7am (WHEW) and were in the Better Buzz drive thru by 8:15. Not.too.shabby.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We also got gluten-free donuts and pastries from Phatties and they were everything. A little on the dense side (which I honestly love) and so fresh and sweet. We\u2019ll definitely be back!<\/p>\n

We knew we\u2019d have a while until our hotel room was ready, so we went to Mission beach. The weather was a dream.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

P loved playing catch with us and running in the waves, and Liv and I also spent lots of time relaxing on the beach blanket. After our 3:45 wakeup, I may or may not have fallen asleep on the beach and got a liiiittle sunburned.<\/p>\n

(Packed this sand castle set<\/a> and this catch set i<\/a>n our carryon. We bought a beach blanket and a football at one of the Belmont shops)<\/p>\n

After beach time, the girls were hungry, so we headed to Belmont Park for lunch, P and I got henna tattoos,<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

and the girls did the ropes course and rode some rides.<\/p>\n

Our hotel was ready, so we went back to shower and relax for a couple of hours, and then met the Kleigers for dinner to celebrate Wyatt\u2019s birthday!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

We ate a Benihana and it was my first time having hibachi since I became gluten-free and didn\u2019t feel like death afterwards. The sauces usually kill my stomach and they used gluten-free soy sauce for mine and P\u2019s entrees. It was amazing!! We also had Menchie\u2019s afterwards before calling it a night.<\/p>\n

The next day, we slept in,<\/p>\n

enjoyed coffee while watching the fish and stingrays in the bay,<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

and had an epic breakfast at Gaslamp Breakfast Company.<\/p>\n

This is the GOAT (goat cheese with caramelized onions and bacon – they subbed turkey bacon for me), gluten-free toast, and a hazelnut decaf almond milk latte.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This is definitely one of our new top San Diego breakfast spots, and we have quite a few on the list \"\ud83d\ude09\"<\/p>\n

After bfast, we went to the K Pop store (Liv\u2019s request), which was inside an incredible Korean market. I loved looking at all of the foods and Liv was able to get a couple of souvenirs for herself and a friend.<\/p>\n

Then it was back to the beach \"\ud83d\ude42\" We spent another full afternoon at Mission, swimming, playing catch, and building sand castles, until it was time to leave. We went back to the Kleigers to say, “see ya soon” before catching an Uber to the airport. The wild thing is that we were technically in Tucson on Tuesday\u2026.and Wednesday\u2026 but still had a ton of San Diego fun in between.<\/p>\n

Read, watch, listen:<\/h3>\n

Sharing some of my favorite sleep tips in this podcast episode.<\/a><\/p>\n

We watched\u00a0The Martian<\/em> this week – I started it on the plane – and it was surprisingly good. It was intense but I absolutely loved it.<\/p>\n

Fitness, health, and good eats:<\/h3>\n

Sculpt Society<\/a> released a new advanced program. All of the workouts are 30 minutes or less and they are SPIIIICY. I did the new Sculpt class and it was a fun and unique flow. Try it here<\/a> and use the code 25GINA for 25% off.<\/p>\n

If you have any EquiLife orders<\/a> you want to place, wait until Monday. <\/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
