Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are your plans this weekend? It\u2019s my nana\u2019s birthday, so we\u2019re celebrating the birthday girl, I\u2019m teaching a barre class, and meeting up with a friend for brunch. It should be pretty low-key and lovely.<\/p>\n

This week has felt SO chill compared to last week\u2019s sale extravanzana. Between the EquiLife sale<\/a>, Prime Days, and the Nordstrom sale, it felt like a lot. (I also tried to share products in a way that didn\u2019t bombard you guys!) Thank you again so so much to those of you who have shopped through my links, and don\u2019t forget that you have until Sunday night to enter the wellness giveaway here!<\/a><\/p>\n

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

(your chance to win a Lumebox<\/a>!)<\/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

7.18 Friday Faves<\/h2>\n

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

The Nordstrom sale<\/a> is still going strong, and here are the bestsellers so far:<\/p>\n

– Hanky panky <\/a>(I wear these pretty much every day)<\/p>\n

– This set of bangles<\/a><\/p>\n

– The best wireless bra<\/a><\/p>\n

– These fleece pants<\/a><\/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

– Sexy and classy lingerie<\/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

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

You can browse all of the top picks here!<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of the fam came over for dinner on Sunday night and we swam, ate street tacos, and drank margaritas.<\/p>\n

This was my second batch of these triple berry bars<\/a> over the weekend – we all loved them so much and the girls went crazy for them.<\/p>\n

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

For dinner, I made barbacoa, shredded chicken, Instant Pot Mexican rice (I’ll make a recipe page for this because I updated it a little and it’s so easy and good), madre brought the best beans, and we also had chips with homemade tomatillo salsa.<\/p>\n

A couple of pics:<\/p>\n

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

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

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

This is so random, but I finger crocheted my first blanket. P has been really into crochet lately and inspired me, and it ended up being a nice way to watch TV and do something with my hands that wasn\u2019t scrolling in the evenings. I used this yarn<\/a> and this tutorial<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

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

FINALLY on Season 7 of Younger<\/em> and I already feel like it\u2019s not going to end how I want it to end so should I call it quits? Or finish it out??<\/p>\n

What summer books are you reading?<\/a><\/p>\n

Different strategies to try for sleep.<\/a><\/p>\n

Definitely check out this week’s podcast episode about the magic powers of water here.<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Need to try this crispy smashed potato salad.<\/a><\/p>\n

Family Pickleball date! (Liv didn’t want to play, she was just there to hang out and enjoy snacks with us)<\/p>\n

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

Heads up: if you\u2019re interested in joining me as an Integrative Health Practitioner, it\u2019s the biggest promo I\u2019ve ever seen them offer. You can use the code SUMMER750 here<\/a> for $750 off levels 1 and 2, and you also receive a free Starter Kit (my two fave intro functional labs) and a 7-day detox.<\/p>\n

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

Becoming an Integrative Health Practitioner<\/a> is one of the best things I\u2019ve done for my health, our family, my wellness clients, and my business. If you\u2019re passionate about health and wellness, I can\u2019t recommend this program enough. Dr. Cabral is the best, and our community is filled with inspirational humans who genuinely want to help others and each other. You don\u2019t have to currently work in the health or wellness industry to become certified. If you have any questions, I\u2019d be happy to help.<\/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
