Friday Faves 8.8 – The Fitnessista

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week?

I’m sorry for disappearing on ya this week. I honestly just needed a second to breathe. The Pilot was gone – he’s back today! – and I was getting the girls ready for back to school, but also… I was just having a mini blog crisis. I’ve had one before, and just had one of those weeks where I was just in a little bit of a funk. I’m back now and missed you all

We’re trying to find our groove around here with airline life, but it’s definitely been more chill than military and commander life. I waited SO long for this time to actually be here and am so so glad it is. Just trying to establish our new routine. P is starting homeschool again on Monday (here we go!) and I’ll share what we have planned – lots of fun stuff ahead.

(JELL-O arms from this week’s Pilates class. We wore arm weights the entire time and it was fierryyyyy.)

Meal prep has saved me during these solo parenting weeks, even though we ate all of the fruit within 3 days.

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is 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’re loving in the comments section below.

8.8 Friday Faves

Fashion + beauty + random:

July reader faves! It’s always fun to go back through analytics and find the bestsellers that I shared here on the blog.

Here are your top picks from July:

The Lumebox! I’m so pumped that you’re loving this as much as I do. I use this every single day. My code FITNESSISTA saves you $260!

My fave hot pink suit.

My Spanish flats obsession.

The Skylight calendar has changed the game for us. We’re able to sync our schedules, add meal plans for the week, the girls can check off their chores each day and earn stars (which translates to money and rewards), and it has been SO so good.

The best wireless bra in all the land.

This super cute girls’ set.

The holy grail of back-to-school sneaker protection.

This mop/vaccuum. It’s the only reason why my floors are spotless. I use Branch Basics in it even though you’re not technically supposed to.

This olive oil! It’s one of the things I stock up on when we’re in Spain even though you can buy it on Amazon.

Always stock up on these during the Nordstrom sale.

Functional labs! I’m so happy that so many of you have taken advantage of the huge EquiLife sale on labs.

This sale includes the Vita-Min Tox test (I use these two tests every day with my wellness clients) and the Big 5 labs; the most comprehensive testing package. If you buy any test option before Sunday and would like me to be the one to go over the results with you and help with an action plan, I’d be happy to waive my coaching fee. Just send me a copy of your oder number with the subject TEST to [email protected]. You can also stack my code FITNESSISTA10 if it’s your first time ordering.

Read, watch, listen:

What books have made you cry recently?

Don’t miss my last podcast episode with Dr Carp, the founder of Miracle Noodle, here..

Fitness, health, and good eats:

We had the family over last weekend and did breakfast for dinner. It was a HUGE hit and such a blast. We made two Spanish tortillas,

a chopped salad,

gluten-free Hello Kitty waffles, regular buttermilk pancakes, and chopped up a bunch of fruit, and madre brought over corned beef hash, the best beans, and mimosa supplies. We had a feast and then swam for hours – it was perfect.

Adding this IP spaghetti into the rotation.

Trying this Dentalcidin. I’m a huge fan of the Biocidin, so excited to give this a whirl. (My access code for Cellcore is aB1NKHxW) You can read more about my faves in this.

Chocolate acai protein bowls.

Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see ya soon!

xoxo
