Hi hi! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you\u2019ve had a great one. I\u2019m so so happy ya\u2019ll enjoyed this week\u2019s podcast episode, too. Thank you so much to those who took a listen!<\/p>\n

A huge highlight of my week: watching Liv\u2019s first dance competition of the season. A fun bonus: Madre and Nani came with us to Phoenix! It was their first time watching a competition and it was so amazing having them there to support Liv. It was a quick 24 hour trip and officially started the competition season into Disney parade into recital.. here we go!<\/p>\n

While we were in Phoenix, P was here in Tucson living her best life with the Pilot. They had a family day at work, with bounce castles, corn hole, face painting, a video game truck, and lots of delicious food, and then two of her friends came over for a playdate. The only sad news of the weekend is that our beloved Cookie, the hairless guinea pig, has crossed the rainbow bridge. We\u2019re not sure how it happened – it was sudden and he had no signs of health issues. He happily took his Vitamin C from me before we left to Phoenix and was squeaking happily. \ud83d\ude41 We had a little farewell ceremony in the backyard complete with Josh Groban\u2019s rendition of \u201cAve Maria.\u201d Rest in peace, Cooker.<\/p>\n

Guinea pigs don\u2019t typically like to be alone, so we might explore getting another one from a rescue as a companion to Donut, but the truth is I\u2019m not sure how much longer I want to be on the guinea pig wagon. I do 99% of their care and they\u2019re a LOT of work (they\u2019re messy lil guys!), so we\u2019ll see what we decide to do. If you have any tips, please let me know!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Favs party! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your favorites, so please shout out anything you\u2019re loving in the comments section below!<\/p>\n

Friday Faves<\/h2>\n

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

I fell in love with Rebbl this past week. Where has it been all of my life?! I went to Whole Foods to get snacks and drinks for us to have at the competition and wasn\u2019t something different than water that was still satisfying. I usually hate bottled protein drinks, but liked the ingredients in this one and decided to give it a try. It was SO good. Like rich chocolate milk but not too sweet. I went back to Whole Foods and got 5 more bottles, including the dark chocolate. Obsessed.<\/p>\n

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

The EquiLife binder.<\/a> I\u2019ve finally had a chance to use this binder with my sauna sessions and also take a capsule when I\u2019m going to have alcohol or a heavy restaurant meal. I was always skeptical about binders – didn\u2019t usually like the ingredients – but am happy to have one that I can use as needed to support the detox process. You can check out an IG live I did with Dr. Cabral on the Universal Binder here. They\u2019re also doing an incredible promo on the detox kits right now if you\u2019re shopping the site: buy 3, get 1 free.<\/a> I\u2019ll likely order mine for the rest of the year because I love them so much.<\/p>\n

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

These peanut butter pretzels. I get them from Thrive Market and they\u2019re everything. Very crunchy, salty, perfect creamy peanut butter inside, gluten-free, corn-free, 10\/10.<\/p>\n

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

Also wanted to give you guys a heads up that Avocado mattresses<\/a> are up to $300 off and free standard shipping with the SLEEP. I never talk about mattresses but this is the BEST mattress<\/a> and the one we use. You guys know I love sleep more than anything and look forward to crawling into this thing every night. I wanted a mattress with safe ingredients and it\u2019s more comfortable than our Tempurpedic.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re in the mood to bake a sheet cake<\/a> (which really are the best cakes) check out the comments section for recipe recs.<\/p>\n

Fashion + beauty:<\/h3>\n

So many great beauty sales happening right now! Beautycounter<\/a> has a gift with purchase and I\u2019ve never seen them offer one that\u2019s THIS good. If you spend $125, you get the All Bright C serum for free, and if you spend $250+, you also get an AHA Reflect Effect mask. These are full-sized products and $180 in value. They\u2019re two of my very favorite products in the entire line, and you can get them for free!<\/p>\n

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

You can also join Band of Beauty<\/a> for $10, which is worth it if you plan on getting the free gifts. This way, you\u2019ll get another welcome gift, free shipping on orders over $100, and 10% back in product credit.<\/p>\n

OH and if it\u2019s your first time shopping, use the code CLEANFORALL20 and make sure Gina Harney is selected as your consultant.<\/a> You\u2019ll get 20% off! I know that was a lot of info, so if you need help, email me gina@fitnessista.com and I\u2019d love to help with skincare recommendations.<\/p>\n

Tarte is 30% off.<\/a> Almost all of the makeup I use is Tarte, including this foundation<\/a>, primer<\/a>, eyeliner,<\/a> so many palettes,<\/a> BB cream<\/a>, mascara<\/a>, mascara primer<\/a>, and highlighter.<\/a> I also have many lipsticks<\/a>, lip stains<\/a>, and lip glosses.<\/a><\/p>\n

Loving all of these cute sets<\/a> that are trending right now.<\/p>\n

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

I started this book<\/a> after hearing rave reviews and am LOVING it so far.<\/p>\n

Finished watching This is 40<\/em>\u00a0(it only took me like 3 weeks) and it was everything I\u2019d been wanting. I don\u2019t typically watch TV or movies – just binge watch Emily in Paris<\/em>\u00a0and Brigerton<\/em>\u00a0when a new season releases – but am trying to watch movies and shows while I\u2019m in the sauna blanket. If there are any other old, hilarious movies you think I might have missed, please let me know!<\/p>\n

Check out this week\u2019s podcast episode if you haven\u2019t already. I\u2019m chatting all about my experience with breast thermography.<\/p>\n

Happy happy Friday!
\nxo<\/p>\n
