Hi friends! How are ya?? I hope you\u2019ve had an amazing week. We\u2019re heading out for something fun – I\u2019ll share the adventures over on IG stories<\/a>! What do you have going on this weekend?<\/p>\n

I feel like I need to get back into the \u201cin the moment\u201d style of blogging because I have a lot of pics to post today. It\u2019s been a very fun week \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Last weekend, we went to an event here in town called Beefsteak. It was a benefit and auction to support military veterans, and we had the BEST time. We went with a group of friends, ate amazing food, won some prizes, and spent hours on the dance floor. I quickly remembered how much I enjoy dancing to 90s rap, Selena, and early 2000s music with a margarita in my hand. It\u2019s been wayyyy too long.<\/p>\n

Some pics from the festivities:<\/p>\n

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

(My dress was a Dillard\u2019s find<\/a>! I ordered three from Rent the Runway and nothing worked. I was pumped that I found something cute at the last minute)<\/p>\n

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

This week was also Valentine\u2019s Day and Ash Wednesday.<\/p>\n

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

It was wild that such a somber day coincided with a festive candy-filled holiday, but we enjoyed the best of both worlds. The girls woke up to Valentine\u2019s baskets,<\/p>\n

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

we went to mass together,<\/p>\n

and had an epic dinner at Fleming\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Always the seafood tower:<\/p>\n

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

plus the potatoes (I want to curl up and live inside), asparagus, salad, gin cocktails, filet mignon and chocolate lava cake. We started celebrating Valentine\u2019s Day with the girls when Liv was a baby. We couldn\u2019t find a babysitter, took her to dinner with us, and had the best time. It\u2019s become a bit of a tradition, and I look forward to our fancy family Valentine’s dinner.<\/p>\n

Friday Faves 2.16<\/h2>\n

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

I CAN\u2019T WAIT for this.<\/a><\/p>\n

Listening to this on the way to barre today.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

How to grow in self love.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fashion + beauty:<\/h3>\n

Amazon finds<\/a>! I ordered two dresses from Amazon recently:<\/p>\n

this Nap dress dupe\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

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

and this LBD.<\/a><\/p>\n

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

The Nap dress dupe<\/a> is thinner fabric than the original, but not see-through, and a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n

The LBD is flattering and comes in quite a few different colors!<\/a> The quality is excellent and I want the brown and cream one now, too.<\/p>\n

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

HigherDOSE President\u2019s Day Sale<\/a>! If you\u2019ve been wanting a red light face mask<\/a>, sauna blanket<\/a>, or PEMF Go Mat,<\/a> this is the time. I use these products every.single.week and they make a huge difference in my personal wellness routine. You can use FITNESSISTA20 through the weekend for 20% off sitewide (excluding bundles and full-sized saunas). Check it out here!<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Grain-free dairy-free chocolate lava cakes<\/a><\/p>\n

Exercise boosts motor learning.<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope you have a lovely weekend! Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today and I\u2019ll see ya soon!
