Hello friends! Happy Friday! What are you doing this weekend? I hope you have a fun weekend ahead! I *hope* we can finally decorate for Halloween and I’m going to make an ofrenda for Día de los Muertos.
P has a basketball game, Liv has a dance, we have a date night planned and plane photos on Sunday. It’s going to happen quickly!
My heart has ached all week for the victims of Hurricane Helene. When disasters happen, it’s hard for me to write posts about anything…everything I feel or want to talk about seems so insignificant, especially when others are suffering. In the spirit of finding distraction through small pockets of joy, I will continue to post Friday favorites, even though my mind is absolutely elsewhere.
If you are looking for ways to help and organizations to support you, here are some options:
– Both terilyn and Jenna They have been posting resources on their Instagrams. Terilyn has created lists of Amazon items that will go directly to organizations that can distribute the items, and Jenna has been purchasing and delivering items, using funds donated to her Venmo.
– Samaritan’s Purse is another option
– If you have others to include, please leave them in the comments below.
It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and from around the web. I also love hearing about your favorites, so shout out something you like in the comments section below.
10.4 Friday Favorites
Fashion + beauty + random:
New things from Oliveda. Our Vitamin C serum It’s VERY good (it’s in stock!) and I wanted to try this eye cream. I will definitely report back. Remember that if you take the skin care quiz and buy two items from your recommendations, you will receive a free gift (it will automatically appear in your cart after you add two items from your recommendations to the cart).
(New nails! Walnut brown with chrome)
I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am. for this. I wanted a nice EMF protection bag and HigherDOSE released one and He sent me one to try! It’s actually cute (many EMF blockers… aren’t) and beautiful quality. It’s perfect for hikes and hikes when I want to have my phone on me, but don’t want the EMF to be so close to my body.
(Use FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off Higher DOSE here)
This is part of your set of endorphinswhich includes the bag (!), (note: my code doesn’t work on bundles because the items are already discounted, but you can use the code FITNESSISTA15 on individual products).
Prime Days are next week! What do you have your eye on? I’ll be spending some time this weekend creating posts with all of my favorite deals.
Volunteered at Ronald McDonald House with Liv last weekend. We did their Chef for a Day program through an organization we belong to and did brunch for the families. Our contribution was blueberry and cinnamon muffins. We loved doing this together and will definitely do it again.
