Some pics from the week:<\/p>\n
Mazer being RIDICULOUS<\/p>\n
Pasta salad and steak night!<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what I put in the pasta salad:<\/p>\n – NOW Foods quinoa pasta<\/p>\n – Roasted red pepper<\/p>\n – Cucumber<\/p>\n – Artichoke hearts<\/p>\n – kalamata olives<\/p>\n – Feta<\/p>\n – Fresh mint and basil<\/p>\n – Seasoned it with leftover pesto, olive oil, balsamic, salt, pepper, and oregano. I made a giant batch and we all snacked on it for a few days.<\/p>\n It\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Faves 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 faves, too, so please shout out something you\u2019re loving in the comments section below.<\/p>\n Thank you so so much to those of you who have shopped my links this week for the EquiLife sale<\/a>, the Amazon Prime Day sale, and the Nordstrom sale. Whew!! EquiLife and Nordstrom<\/a> are still going strong! If you want to order a detox kit<\/a> for our fall detox (we start the day after Labor Day), the link is here.<\/a><\/p>\n Public access for the Nordstrom sale<\/a> starts tomorrow and here are the bestseller so far:<\/p>\n – This perfect travel backpack<\/a><\/p>\n – This classic tote for work, travel, or life<\/a><\/p>\n – This kids’ fleece hoodie<\/a><\/p>\n – This ADORABLE girls\u2019 set<\/a><\/p>\n – This is my go-to daily cleanser because it\u2019s gentle enough for my eyes<\/a><\/p>\n – This cozy sweater at a ridiculous price<\/a><\/p>\n – Ordered this for Liv for Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n You can browse all of the top picks here!<\/a> If you\u2019re shopping during public access tomorrow, make a wish list today so you can easily add to cart in the morning.<\/p>\n This Anthro dress.<\/a> It\u2019s true to size, has the trendy drop waist situation, and lightweight enough to wear when it\u2019s a million degrees outside.<\/p>\n We ordered a Skylight<\/a> during Prime Day and we LOVE it already.<\/p>\n We synced our Google calenders so we can easily see what\u2019s going on each week\/month\/day, add in meal plans and links to the recipes for the meals, and chore charts and rewards for the kids. As a paper planner kinda gal, I\u2019ve fought digital calenders for yearrrsssss. I eventually realized that with the kids’ schedules and the Pilot\u2019s work schedule, this is the way to track everything for everyone.<\/p>\n Trader Joe\u2019s shopping ideas.<\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019re catching up on podcast episodes, you can find them all here!<\/a><\/p>\n Making my way back to studio fitness classes and this week my return to Pure Barre. It killed me in the best way possible.<\/p>\n You can still get 50% off 12 months of workouts here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Easy weeknight dinners.<\/a><\/p>\n Ordering as much as possible from Thrive Market<\/a> and Butcher Box<\/a> right now. It\u2019s faster and easier just to grab produce, eggs, and dairy at the grocery store and not worry about much else.<\/p>\n This shrimp sushi bake looks so good!<\/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 7.11 Friday Faves<\/a> appeared first on The Fitnessista<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi friends!
