Hiiii! Happy Friday and happy Halloweekend! What do you have going on? P\u2019s school has their Halloween parade today, I\u2019m helping with the party, we\u2019re going to a Halloween party tonight, and trick-or-treating at our house Saturday before the NCL tea on Sunday. Here we gooooooo.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve really slacked on Halloween decorating this year – it\u2019s been so busy and the Pilot has been gone – but I did get our ofrenda up for D\u00eda de los Muertos.<\/p>\n

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

For now, i\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your faves, too, so please shout out something you\u2019re loving in the comments section below.<\/p>\n

I hope you have a lovely fall weekend ahead!<\/p>\n

10.30 Friday Faves<\/h2>\n

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

We celebrated two birthdays last weekend! The Pilot\u2019s bday was Saturday, so we spent the afternoon bowling, eating, and playing arcade games at Roadie\u2019s with family and friends. It was the perfect way to celebrate my favorite guy.<\/p>\n

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

(printed out 46 pictures of him for his little bday table)<\/p>\n

P\u2019s birthday party was on Sunday! I mentioned before that we switched schools this year – both girls are no longer at private school and we are SO glad<\/a> – and it\u2019s changed all of our lives in the best way. She\u2019s made the nicest, funniest friends and they have a blast together.<\/p>\n

She had her party at Jumping Cholla (a local trampoline park) and it was the perfect way to celebrate her. I can\u2019t believe she\u2019s 11.<\/p>\n

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

This cute oyster cardigan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

(Also I\u2019ve had these loafers<\/a> for a few years now and they’re still in great shape)<\/p>\n

The magic (mostly) nontoxic nail combo! After trying a few different things and doing a bunch of research, I came across Manicurist. Apparently it\u2019s very easy to get off – it takes one minute – so the idea is to combine the Manicurist base coat<\/a> and polish,<\/a> but top with Olive & June top coat<\/a> for the ultimate combo that LASTS but can also be removed easily.<\/p>\n

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

The only slightly nontoxic part is I bought a tiny bottle of chrome<\/a> from Amazon to use over the top coat (then top with one more layer of top coat) and it looks IDENTICAL to my favorite OPI bubble bath dip + chrome combo (that was around $90 including the tip). Saving soooo much money but also time. I\u2019m so sick of driving 30 minutes and sitting at the nail salon for over an hour. I\u2019m freeeeee.<\/p>\n

These satin lace shorts.<\/a> They felt a little too wild\/trendy but the girls told me to go for it and they\u2019re super honest about these thing.<\/p>\n

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

(Just wore them with this Vuori button-up<\/a> and some old Golden Goose sneakers)<\/p>\n

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

Roundup of my favorite manifesting books.<\/a><\/p>\n

The great Christmas plan.<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been watching old\u00a0Glee<\/em> episodes while the Pilot has been traveling and it\u2019s been a treat.<\/p>\n

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

Sculpt Society\u2019s \u201cEverything but the reformer\u201d challenge starts Monday and it’s going to be SO good. You can try it free with my link here!<\/a><\/p>\n

More reasons to love the Mediterranean diet.<\/a><\/p>\n

My latest hair routine.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been wanting to try a Jaspr – my favorite air filter now, I like it better than Air Doctor which I loved for a long time! – my link is here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Have an amazing weekend and I\u2019ll see ya soon!<\/p>\n

xoxo<\/p>\n

Gina<\/p>\n

The first gift guide for 2026 will be live here on Monday! So excited to share this year\u2019s roundup with you!<\/p>\n
