Hello friends! Have a nice weekend! I’m here on a Saturday with Friday Faves. The pilot was gone all week this week so I took care of the single parenting thing. We’re counting down the days until summer break! We got a little taste of it yesterday and I’m READY. Went to the pool after school with the kids and a few friends and it was perfect. I was pressured to ride the water slide and I really enjoyed it lol.
The rest of the weekend plans include a great brunch, watching the Wildcats tonight, and getting ready for the week ahead. I also wish you a nice and relaxing weekend!
It’s time for the weekly Friday Favorites roundup. I always love hearing about your favorites from the week and across the web, so please share what you like in the comments section below.
3.28 Friday Favorites
Fashion, beauty, coincidence:
These glasses. I’ve shared them before, but the RX glasses allow me to be a fun poolside mom lol. I can swim and drive a car and ride water slides and still see what I’m doing. I look absolutely ridiculous, but I remind myself that the kids will probably only remember that I actually played in the water with them, and not that I look like an insect.
That Target skirt. It’s super light and comfortable; perfect for game day and pickleball.
Another shout out to my favorite “mom swimsuit.” The fabric is super light, fits perfectly and there are so many great colors. (I also cover your butt while you build sandcastles or chase the kids around.) I also wear and I love this two piece.
Read, watch, listen:
Don’t miss this week’s podcast episode here. I loved this conversation and it’s so important to know where your food comes from.
I’m reading this And even though I know it’s slowly breaking my heart, I’m 100% hooked.
What are your children’s love languages?
Check this out if you’re looking for it Easter basket ideas for teens and tweens this week.
Fitness, health and good food:
If you haven’t tried these Good Pop ice cream sandwiches, they are incredible. Gluten free, dairy free and the perfect little sweet bite!
High volume, low calorie recipes. Many of them are light and fresh; perfect for hotter weather.
Definitely try it Copycat kale salad recipe from True Food.
Healed sent me some of them Dream gummies to try it out and I took half of it last night and slept like a baby. Sleep has been a godsend for me over the last few months – only the stress of lots of things combined with a new puppy has been a disaster – but her Serenity gummies have made all the difference for me. I take half a Serenity gummy when I feel unwell before bed and it immediately makes me feel calm and doesn’t make me feel icky or groggy in the morning. If you want to try any of these gummies, you can use GINAH a discount here! (The Dream Gummies won’t be officially released until Monday, but you’ll also get early access!)
The EquiLife Birthday Sale continues until tomorrow! If you’ve always wanted to try something new or stock up on your favorites, this is the opportunity.
Here are some of my top tips:
Daily nutritional support– They also have a new strawberry flavor that is DELICIOUS. I have DNA in protein pudding every day and feel a difference in my energy when I skip it.
Full spectrum magnesium
Magnesium is one of the most common deficiencies I see and it impacts so many systems in the body. I take this every evening and give it to the children too. I have tried many different brands and types of magnesium and this is by far my favorite.
Melatonin can be a nice little relief if you have trouble sleeping or are traveling. I always take it with me when we travel, so I can travel to Spain without jet lag. I love it.
Adrenal energy
I don’t drink regular caffeine, but my cortisol was low in the morning. I used this to rebalance my levels and still take it. It gives me energy without feeling nervous. It is designed to support the body’s natural energy systems and adrenal function without creating a spike-and-crash effect.
Adrenaline calms
On the other end of the spectrum, I reach for it during periods of high stress. It is said to calm the nervous system and support balanced cortisol levels, which can be particularly helpful when you are feeling nervous, anxious or overstimulated. I use it to unwind before bed.
I use and love this too Universal tie and the Omega-3 support (The liquid is so nice because you don’t have to swallow an extra capsule). We have one too We have a group detox coming up in May if you want to get your kit now!
