Hi friends! Happy Friday! How are you? I hope you\u2019ve had a wonderful week. It\u2019s been a bit of a wild one over here. I had to get my first mammogram after a potentially concerning spot showed up on my last ultrasound – it was NOT a picnic, but I\u2019m extremely thankful for good results. Aaaand Liv broke her finger! We\u2019re headed to ortho today but I\u2019m hoping she\u2019ll just have to splint it for a little while.<\/p>\n

What do you have going on this weekend? We\u2019re headed to a military event and are going to do a family hike in between the festivities. The weather has been a DREAM this week, so we\u2019re taking advantage of it. I hope you have a fun and lovely weekend ahead, too.<\/p>\n

(Played hooky on Monday and went to the gem show with madre!)<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! Here\u2019s 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

Friday Faves 2.2<\/h2>\n

Random\/life:<\/h3>\n

Second ear piercings! Liv has been wanting to get her second piercing for a while, so we told her she could go for it. We picked up one of her friends to join us (for moral support), and headed to Rowan, the new piercing spot at La Encantada. All of the earrings are hypoallergenic, and all of the piercers are registered nurses. It was very cute and Instgrammable.<\/p>\n

Liv asked me if I would go first, so I said yolo and got my second piercings done. (I originally had them done in elementary school but let them close.)<\/p>\n

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

It didn\u2019t hurt at all – I was shocked!!<\/p>\n

Our \u201cafters\u201d:<\/p>\n

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

I can\u2019t believe how much I like having a second piercing. It\u2019s fun to have a lil extra sparkle.<\/p>\n

We went as a family to the Wildcats game last night and it was a blast. Liv has an intense dance schedule so we haven\u2019t made it to any games this season. We let her ditch one night (she had a newly broken finger, after all) and cheered our hearts out, ate all the game foods, and enjoyed the evening together.<\/p>\n

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

This label maker.<\/a> I know, it\u2019s a weird thing to be excited about. Buuuut I got this on Prime Day and LOVE this little thing. It\u2019s been helpful for labeling items in the pantry and also the hangers for dance competition costumes! Check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meg\u2019s baby shower! We got to celebrate this mama and my new baby nephew on the way. We had appetizers at Commoner & Co., played games, ate cake, and watched her open all of the amazing gifts. I can\u2019t believe how much better baby clothes are now!! The fabrics have gotten a major upgrade and are so incredibly soft.<\/p>\n

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

These teacher coasters<\/a>! I ordered them for the girls\u2019 teachers for teacher appreciation to pair with a Starbucks gift card. LOVE how they tuned out!<\/p>\n

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

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

Valentine\u2019s Gift Guide for Him is live!<\/a><\/p>\n

Be sure to check out this week\u2019s podcast episode here.<\/a><\/p>\n

A parenting goal for the teenage years.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fashion + beauty:<\/h3>\n

New lip balms<\/a>! The texture is silky smooth and they give the lightest bit of color. I try to use nontoxic makeup and skincare as much as possible, but lip products are especially important since you essentially *eat* what\u2019s on your lips. Check it out here<\/a> and you can use CLEANFORALL20 for 20% off your first order. I\u2019m happy to help with any recs, too!<\/p>\n

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

This skirt.<\/a> It was in my recent RTR Unlimited shipment and i\u2019m thinking about keeping it. Skirts don\u2019t often fit me well – my torso is short and they\u2019re often too tight in the waist – and this fits and matches so many tops and sweaters.<\/p>\n

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

( I wear it with these loafers<\/a> or these Amazon flats<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

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

Barre strength workout with dumbbells.<\/a><\/p>\n

Simple but delicious air fryer chicken<\/a>. (Ps I\u2019m in the market to swap out our air fryer for one that doesn\u2019t have the nonstick coating. If you have a stainless steel or glass one you love, please lmk!)<\/p>\n

Caramel chocolate truffles.<\/a> YUM<\/p>\n

Happy Friday, friends! What\u2019s something you\u2019re loving this week?
