Hello friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you had a wonderful time. The kids officially have one week left of school (YESSSSSSS) and we are all counting the days. This weekend we have dinner with friends, a concert, dance activities and all the chores. I hope you have a beautiful weekend too!
It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! Here’s this week’s roundup, and I always love to hear about your favorites, also if you could mention something you like below.
5.17 Friday Favorites
Life:
Mother’s Day Adventures. It was the best day with my favorite people, doing many of my favorite things. I got up early and while everyone was sleeping, I went to the farmers market to walk around and buy some meat for Maisey’s dog food. When I got home, I was able to open amazing cards from family and then we went out to lunch at Hacienda del Sol.
Hacienda has become one of our favorite special occasion lunch spots (we also love date nights on the patio with live piano music) and they have a legendary variety. They really go for quality over quantity with the best ribs, vegetables, charcuterie, pasta, omelet station, a wide variety of seafood, desserts for days, multiple mimosa flavors and a full bar, and live Spanish guitar. We were joined by some friends who are like family and it was the perfect morning.
(So many bridal desserts!)
After brunch, we drove around Tucson, leaving flowers and cards for my mom, nana, stepmom, and other nanas. We headed back home, where I rode the spin bike and then took a glorious nap. We met friends at the Ventana pool for pizza, swimming, and margaritas.
I also had some exciting news to share with you: earlier this week, Equivida and PHI announced that I was chosen as one of the five IHP champions of the year.
There are more than 5,000 Comprehensive health professionals all over the world, so it has been a great honor and I feel very grateful for the opportunity to be part of this incredible community. It has changed my life and my health in the best way possible and I feel blessed to be able to share what I have learned with others. I’ve never had a big goal with the blog or what I do online; All I wanted to do was help, serve and connect with others. It’s been so fun to see how it has grown and changed over time!
To celebrate this milestone, I wanted to share with you a special trial discount (20 available and discount ends Sunday):
Go to this link and you’ll get $100 off a starter kit (my two favorite core labs and the ones I read every day with clients!), a personalized action plan, and access to my Vitality course.
We did just one of these labs when Liv was younger and it cost a thousand dollars through a local naturopath. You’ll get two labs, an action plan, and tons of bonuses for a fraction of that price.
If you’ve been on the hamster wheel, doing the same things, seeing no changes or results, it doesn’t have to be that way. Let’s dig deeper together and uncover some deficiencies, toxicities, and work to rebalance your body so you can feel your best.

Fashion + beauty:
You. I am blown away by all your incredible support for olive since I joined the company a couple of weeks ago. These products are so good and I can’t wait to see how much you love them! It is said on the street that my favorite serum (aka Bottled Botox) will also be restocking this weekend.
I was quite disappointed with the ending of Beautycounter, but I feel like it’s actually been a blessing. I feel very aligned and connected to Olive Tree; The products are gorgeous, clean, and work great. You can search for products here.and you can consult our skincare quiz for personalized recommendations.
olive has skyrocketed in the last month (You can read this amazing article!) so they have increased production to meet demand. Inventory should be more consistent, but I’ll also keep it updated as things are replenished.
Read, watch, listen:
BRIDGERTON. I rarely watch television, but I always make time to Bridgerton. I will watch the episodes on my sauna blanket or on my walking platform. (Plus, I made a free list of my favorite wellness essentials if you want to get it here.
The new Wicked trailer. I may have shed a tear.
