8.1 Friday Faves – The Fitnessista

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to? The Pilot is home from a trip (YAY), we’re meeting friends for a last hurrah swim and dinner at the pool, we have an NCL meeting, and family dinner at our house. Since we got back from Spain, we’ve been doing weekly family dinners again and it has been such a great way to start the week. My favorite memory from last week was watching our 10-month old niece Daisy eat a popsicle on the patio. She was a HUGE fan.

I’d love to hear what you have going on this weekend!

Mazer wanted to show you her fresh cut and long eyelashes.

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.

8.1 Friday Faves

Fashion + beauty + random:

A moment for the shoes. (Got them in Spain but they have them at Nordstrom! I’m always a US 8 or 38, and sized up to a 39 for these and they’re perfect)

My friends at Left On Friday sent me some new suits! It was my first time trying this brand and I was blown away by the super light compressive fabric (I sized up to a medium after reading a ton of reviews online and it still felt like it held everything in), fit, and quality. It’s totally seamless and they have a ton of colors. I ended up choosing this one piece, and this top + these bottoms. The bottoms I chose had the most booty coverage and feel like this is my new fave swimsuit brand. Both suits are linked here.

New Vivobarefoots! I wanted to get a neutral color (like tan or grey) but they were sold out, so I went wild and went with pink. Can’t wait to take them for a spin this weekend! More + why you should switch to barefoot shots in this post.

Goodies from my friends at Canopy. They have fun new colors in their handheld filtered showerhead. I’m waiting for a new link – they changed their affiliate platform – but my code FITNESSISTA should still work for 15% off.

Read, watch, listen:

Listening to this on audio and it’s inspiring and hilarious at the same time. I took Liv and a friend to the mall and walked around following from a distance (so they could have freedom but I was also watching them like a hawk lol) and was listening to this in my headphones. I’m sure I looked like a weirdo walking around and laughing to myself.

Speaking of laughing, Ali Wong on Netflix kiiiiiilled me. The Pilot was on a trip, the girls were upstairs watching a movie and hanging out, so I grabbed a blanket, Mazer, and cuddled up on the couch watching this. Heads up that it’s crass and inappropriate (pure Ali Wong style) but I loved it.

How do you mother yourself?

This week’s podcast episode is a great one.

Fitness, health, and good eats:

Obsessed with these Goodpop ice cream sandwiches. They’re gluten-free and the perfect lil sweet bite.

My FAVE sparkling water is at Whole Foods! It’s the one I drank every day while we were in Spain and had been missing it dearly. Ruuuuun!

(even though I die a little that it was 2 euros in Spain and $4 here. Worth it)

You need to try this lemon tart before summer is over.

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

xoxo
