Hi friends! Happy Friday! How are you? I hope you’ve had a wonderful week! We’re still here in Sevilla and enjoying the amazing food, sights, shopping, time with friends, and some shows/touristy events, too. I’m crossing my fingers that the Pilot can make it out here to celebrate Father’s Day! I hope that you have a fun and relaxing weekend ahead.
(we’ve been eating dinner at our friends’ house almost every night during the week. We do family dinner, and we each make a couple of things. It saves us from having to go out to eat for every meal – it’s fun to go out to eat, but not every single night for 6 weeks lol. We can share the load of cooking and dishes, and we still get to spend time together every evening. It’s been absolutely amazing, and I’m definitely going to miss is when we get home! I’ve surprisingly been able to prep and cook quite a bit in our tiny Airbnb kitchen and I’ll share a post soon with some Airbnb recipes.)
I’d love to hear what you’ve been up and what you have going on this weekend.
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.
6.13 Friday Faves
Fashion + beauty + random:
Summer faves.
Since we’re definitely in the thick of summer, I wanted to share some of my favorite summer-y things:
–Obsessed with this swimsuit collab
–The kids love these reusable water balloons
-For pool days, I typically wear a visor just like this
-I took this beach tent to Hawaii with us last year. It was SO convenient and I didn’t have to spend $90 each day for a chair + umbrella
–This hasn’t arrived yet but I can’t wait to try it for dry skin
-I often get asked about sunscreen recs, and we usually use this one for body and this one for face. They have cleaner ingredients and are super gentle.
–The perfect black swimsuit. It’s not too cheeky, the fit is perfect (true to size), and it’s the soft stretchy Vuori fabric we all love
–These big buckle Birks are just a little bit more polished/dressy than regular Birks
-This week, if you spend $149 at EquiLife, you get a free insulated tote, which I use all summer. It’s a perfect farmer’s market bag, roadtrip bag, beach bag, you name it. To get to the $149, I’d mix and match from these items: Daily Nutritional Support (I have this every single day), magnesium, melatonin (this prevented jet lag again for me this year),omega 3s, detox kit or lifechanging weighted blanket. If it’s your first time ordering, stack my code FITNESSISTA10 for 10% off. *Stay tuned for a HUGE EquiLife giveaway in July!*
Read, watch, listen:
After two blah books in a row, this one has been a joy.
The podcast is now on YouTube! One of my goals this year has been to work on growing the podcast, but when our lives got totally crazy after the Pilot’s retirement, pulling P out of school, and everything… it didn’t happen. I was lucky to get an episode out each week. As luck would have it, a podcast producer reached out to me about helping with the show, we had a call, and I decided to go for it. It’s been a total gamechanger and I’m so excited to welcome Eric to my little team 🙂 He’s now editing the podcast, uploading it, producing the videos for YouTube and creating reels from the content. I’m so excited for more of it to go live!! My YouTube channel that has been dead for 3 years has come back to life! Check it out here.
(And of course, the frist few episodes were right after the mole removal on my chin but the bandage looked worse than the scar, so I was just like whatever let’s do this.)
Fitness, health, and good eats:
I’m keeping up with Sculpt Society workouts in the Airbnb and they feel SO great. .You can try it free with my link here!
I also ended up getting a gym membership so I could take the kids to the pool, and it’s been a blast to take Zumba classes, BODYPUMP, lift weights, and enjoy the functional strength area and Technogym cardio equipment <— my all-time fave
A couple of Spain grocery finds:
This jar of peanut butter was two euros and tastes like the kind you grind yourself at Whole Foods. The only ingredient is roasted peanuts. SO good. We’ve officially gone through three jars of peanut butter and three jars of Nutella since we’ve been here.
This week’s bar obsession is these:
(Just dried fruits and nuts. Similar to the Nakd bars but a little larger and different texture.)
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see ya soon!
xoxo
