Sharing a currently-type post and what we\u2019ve been up to lately.<\/em><\/p>\n

Hi friends! How are you? How was the weekend? I hope you had a great one! We went up to Phoenix for the Josh Turner concert and it was everything. He sounds SO good live and the band was incredible. The rest of the weekend was pretty chill. We had an NCL meeting, family dinner at madre\u2019s house, and I got some work stuff done.<\/p>\n

For today\u2019s post, I thought it would be fun to do an old-school \u201ccurrently\u201d style blog post, focused on some of the things we\u2019ve been up to lately. If you\u2019d like to play along in the comments section, I\u2019d love to hear what you\u2019ve had going on lately, too!<\/p>\n

Currently:<\/h2>\n

Celebrating…<\/h3>\n

Anniversary #18! For next year\u2019s anniversary we should do something huge\u2026 like move to Spain?! Just halfway joking\u2026 \"\ud83d\ude09\"<\/p>\n

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

18 years was a second and a lifetime (multiple lifetimes). Beyond thankful for the little life and family we share, all of the adventures, celebrating the highs, holding each other through the lows, and choosing each other, every day <3<\/p>\n

Wearing…<\/h3>\n

Dresses and Flabelus flats:<\/a><\/p>\n

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

(my got-to everyday combo)<\/p>\n

And Sambas! I didn\u2019t really get into the trend even though I always thought they were cute, and that\u2019s because someone told me they were super uncomfortable and they returned them. Finally I couldn\u2019t handle it anymore, and I got a pair \u201cfor me\u201d but they were really for Liv. (Something kind of funny\/interesting: I can rarely get the kids to buy anything or go shopping with me. When I was a teen, I was the OPPOSITE and wanted to buy everything! Now, if I want to get something for Liv, I buy it for myself, she asks to borrow it, and then I usually never see it again.)<\/p>\n

They weren\u2019t uncomfortable at all, but felt even better after being broken in for a couple of weeks. Now I have my eye on these ones!<\/a><\/p>\n

Watching\u2026.<\/h3>\n

NOTHING. I\u2019m over here anxiously waiting for\u00a0Emily in Paris<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>to come back so I can binge the entire thing. I haven\u2019t really found anything I\u2019ve been excited about since I finished\u00a0Younger<\/em> and rarely watch TV. If you\u2019ve watched anything lately you\u2019ve loved, please lmk.<\/p>\n

I have a bit more time now when the Pilot is traveling and the girls are chilling at night. (They\u2019re allowed to have screen time for a little while at night if homework and chores are done.) It\u2019s honestly kind of weird wondering what I should do for an hour or so. I\u2019ve busted out the keyboard (with headphones so no one else has to suffer lol), crocheted some blankets, and have spent evenings cleaning and food prepping. Sometimes I also just lie on the couch with a giant blanket cocooned around me, snuggling with Maisey and scolling on my phone.<\/p>\n

Reading…<\/h3>\n

Just started this book.<\/a> When I\u2019m in a book funk, I almost always come back to WWII historical fiction. Even though it breaks my heart into a million pieces, the harrowing and beautiful stories of these human experiences keep me coming back. If you have any recent faves, please lmk.<\/p>\n

Struggling with…<\/h3>\n

Finding my school year routine. I\u2019ve mentioned it on the blog before but I\u2019m still trying to figure out the work\/homeschool\/mom balance with the Pilot\u2019s travel schedule. When he\u2019s here, I blast through as much work stuff as possible, and when he\u2019s gone, it\u2019s just me over here doing all the things. It\u2019s easier in some ways since the girls are older, but also challenging in different ways with all of the driving and homework. We\u2019ll figure it out <3<\/p>\n

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

Eating…<\/h3>\n

Quinn\u2019s gluten-free peanut butter pretzels. These are probably my #1 favorite crunchy bite.<\/p>\n

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

Listening to\u2026.<\/h3>\n

The most random mix ever. Bad Bunny,\u00a0Carmina Burana<\/em>, Sabastian Yatra, K pop (Liv got me into it!), Broadway musicals, <\/em>house music, <\/em>worship music, and early 2000s country. Spotify knows what I like haha.<\/p>\n

Excited about…<\/h3>\n

4 things!<\/p>\n

A trip to San Diego. We\u2019re heading up there for Labor Day weekend to see the Kleigers and enjoy some beach time. We\u2019re also ready for some Better Buzz, OB Noodle House, and still heartbroken Tiki Port is gone.<\/p>\n

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

Our fall detox! I\u2019ll share details in an upcoming post but our fall detox group starts September 1. The week of the 1st is a prep week, and the actualy detox begins on September 8. I\u2019ve been feeling completely blah and swollen – my face is just puffy and I can feel it – so I\u2019m definitely looking forward to this reset, too. Make sure you\u2019re on my newsletter to get the info first.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Olive Rose is FINALLY coming back.<\/a> I\u2019ve been out for weeks now – another thing that was \u201cborrowed\u201d and has disappeared lol – and this is my all-time favorite *foundation.* I use OneSkin tinted SPF first, and then Olive Rose on top, which has a beautiful buildable texture and gives light, even coverage. Everything will be live here and we have some new products coming out this fall that I can\u2019t wait to try and share with ya.<\/p>\n

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

Not one, but two huge product launches! EquiLife has released their new Advanced Cell Force<\/a>, which I\u2019ve been drinking and LOVING for the past week. It\u2019s designed to support mitochondria function and ATP production, and the ingredients were chosen for energy, recovery, to support blood flow\/circulation, and focus. I\u2019ve only been drinking 1\/2 scoop – the full serving is 2 scoops! – and noticed an enormous energy boost within 20 minutes of drinking it. This is an awesome caffeine-free pre-workout drinking, or a little afternoon boost if you need it. It\u2019s 30% off this week here!<\/a><\/p>\n

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

The other product launch is HigherDOSE\u2019s new red light wrap<\/a>. I love my Lumebox<\/a> especially because it’s so portable, but it will be amazing to have a larger option to stack with my PEMF Go Mat and morning meditation. It\u2019s SO cool that you can use it as a wrap or mount it vertically. You can use FITNESSISTA for 15% off sitewide at HigherDOSE here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

So, tell me, friends: what are you currently eating, reading, wearing, and excited about? I\u2019d love to hear what\u2019s going on in your life!<\/p>\n
