Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you had a wonderful one. The kids officially have one week left of school (YESSSSSSS) and we\u2019re all counting down the days. This weekend we have dinner with friends, a concert, dance activities, and all the chores. I hope you have a lovely weekend, too!<\/p>\n

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! Here’s this week’s roundup, and I always love to hear about your faves, too if you’d please shout out something you’re loving below.<\/p>\n

5.17 Friday Faves<\/h2>\n

Life:<\/h3>\n

Mother\u2019s Day advetnures.<\/strong> It was the best day with my favorite people, doing so many of my favorite things. I woke up early, and while everyone was still sleeping, I went to the farmer\u2019s market to stroll around and get some meat for Maisey\u2019s dog food.<\/a> When I got home, I got to open amaizng cards from the family, and then we set off for brunch at Hacienda del Sol.<\/p>\n

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

Hacienda has become one of our favorite special occasion brunch spots (we also love date night on the patio with the live piano music), and they have a legendary spread. They truly go for quality over quantity with the best prime rib, veggies, charcueterie, pasta, omelet station, a huge seafood spread, desserts for days, multiple mimosa flavors and a full bar, and live Spanish guitar. Some friends who are like family joined us, and it was the perfect morning.<\/p>\n

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

(so many gf desserts!)<\/p>\n

After brunch, we did the tour de Tucson, dropping off flowers and cards for my mom, nana, stepmom, and other nana \ud83d\ude42 We came home, where I rode the spin bike and then took a glorious little nap. We met up with friends at the pool at Ventana for pizza, swimming, and margaritas.<\/p>\n

I also had some excited news to share with you guys: earlier this week, EquiLife<\/a> and IHP<\/a> announced that I was chosen as one of their five IHP champions for the year.<\/p>\n

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

There are over 5,000 Integrative Health Practitioners<\/a> worldwide, so this has been a huge honor and I feel so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible community. It’s changed my life and health in the best possible way, and I feel blessed to share what I’ve learned with others. I’ve never had a huge goal with the blog or what I do online; all I’ve wanted to do was help, serve, and connect with others. It’s been so fun to see how it’s grown and changed over time!<\/p>\n

To celebrate this milestone, I wanted to share a special testing discount with you (20 available and discount ends Sunday):<\/p>\n

Head to this link<\/a> and you’ll get $100 off a Starter Kit (my two favorite foundational labs, and ones that I read every day with clients!), a customized action plan, and access to my Vitality course.<\/p>\n

We did just one of these labs when Liv was younger and it was a thousand dollars through a local naturopath. You’re getting two labs, an action plan, and tons of bonuses for a fraction of that price.<\/p>\n

If you’ve been on the hamster wheel, doing the same things, not seeing changes or results, it doesn’t have to be like this. Let’s do a deep dive together and uncover some deficiencies, toxicities, and work to rebalance your body so you can feel your absolute best.<\/p>\n

Sign up here<\/a> – the discount code is already applied for you! *Note: labs cannot be shipped to New York or Washington State at this time. If you’re international, please let me know and we can calculate shipping costs.<\/em><\/p>\n

Fashion + beauty:<\/h3>\n

You guys. I\u2019m blown away by all of your amazing support of Oliveda<\/a> since I joined the company a couple of weeks ago. These products are so good and I can\u2019t wait to hear about how much you\u2019re loving them! Word on the street is that my very favorite serum<\/a> (aka Botox in a bottle) will be restocked this weekend, too.<\/p>\n

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

I was pretty disappointed about the end of Beautycounter<\/a>, but feel like it\u2019s actually been a blessing. I feel so aligned and connected with Olive Tree; the products are gorgeous, clean, and perform very well. You can browse products here<\/a>, and you can check out our skincare quiz for customized recs.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Oliveda<\/a> has exploded in the past month (you can read this incredible article!<\/a>) so they have increased production to match the demand. Inventory should be more consistent, but I\u2019ll keep you updated as things are replenished, too.<\/p>\n

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

BRIDGERTON<\/em>. I very rarely watchy TV but I alwayyyys make time for Bridgerton<\/em>. I\u2019ll watch the episodes in my\u00a0sauna blanket <\/a>or on my walking pad. (Also, I made a free list of my fave wellness essentials if you\u2019d like to grab it here.<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0Wicked<\/em> trailer.<\/a> I may have shed a tear.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss this week\u2019s podcast episode here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Reader comments on aging.<\/a><\/p>\n

Keys to improved immunity and a healthier gut for your kids.<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Big yummy Italian salad.<\/a><\/p>\n

Signs you\u2019re taking class from a bad group fitness instructor.<\/a><\/p>\n

Vegan s\u2019mores in a jar.<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Happy weekend, friends! Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today and I\u2019ll see ya soon.<\/p>\n

xoxo<\/p>\n
