Hello friends! Happy Friday! How was Halloween? We returned home just in time to celebrate. The family came over, I made some tacos and we went trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. It was discreet and charming; the perfect celebration after a whirlwind of adventures in Orlando.
(On our cruise, 9 of us were Wizard of Oz characters. Take a moment to appreciate the Pilot’s Lollipop Guild costume lol)
I have A LOT to say about the trip (the Reimagining Health Summit and our cruise to Disney) and I’ll put it all together in some recap posts next week. My plan was to finish them on the plane but I ended up sleeping the entire way home! I was completely drugged.
This weekend will also be a lot of fun: it’s the Pilot’s change of command (after three years as commander, that’s it!), our school auction, and a big event for the National Charity League. Here we gooo. I’d love to know what you’re going through!
(I wanted to share some photos of the ofrenda I prepared for this year’s Day of the Dead. I wish I could keep it up all year!)
*Also a friendly reminder to VOTE! Election Day is the last day to vote, but I’ll go today after picking up the team from school.
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.
11.1 Friday Favorites
Fashion + beauty + random:
My lips have been super dry with the colder weather (Tucson went from 105 to 70 overnight) and this is my reference lip balm.
J Crew is 30% off right now and I’m looking These straight leg jeans.
This dress!! I got it from Rent the track for the awards dinner at the summit, and I want to keep it. Perfect for dressing up for a classier event, dinner, or even dressing down for work. The fabric was also dreamy. In stock here in black.
Read, watch, listen:
tearing my way through Survive. It’s very good and I love how full it is, but so far it’s very dry. I like it when authors inject a little personality, wit, or humor into their work, and this one is taking me forever. Definitely ready for some fluffy fic after this one. 😉
What tattoo would you get? I’m definitely one and done here…and I honestly regret mine a little. I like it sometimes, but I also wish I could remove it for fancier events. Normally my hair hides it.
Updating your life and career to match who you are now.
Fitness, health, life and good nutrition:
These bars! They were out of stock for a while because EquiLife was looking for a new baker…and now they’re back and the texture is even better. They’re soft and cake-like, with all real ingredients, and kids love them too.
Chocolate is my favorite, but we all love apple and cinnamon too.. If you place an order here Over $149, you get a free box! I would make a detox kit to prepare for our January detox, a full spectrum magnesium, and an extra container of Daily nutritional support (I have this every day). My code is FITNESSISTA10 if this is your first time ordering!
The Therasage Weighted Blanket. I don’t think I’ve ever given this one a proper shout out on the blog, but I LOVE it, especially in the colder weather. I’m the type of person who can’t sleep without a real comforter (I always ask for extra blankets when hotels only have sheets on the bed and I bring my weighted travel blanket) and the extra weight helps me sleep better at night. If you are an anxious person or find yourself tossing and turning, I can’t recommend it enough. This It has crystals instead of beads and additional EMF protection. Use code FITNESSISTA for a discount!
It just stays on my side of the bed like this:
Impact of GLP-1 on muscle retention.
Sliding workout for the whole body.
Thank you very much for stopping by the blog today!
