Friday Faves

Hi hi! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend/ We’re headed to Phoenix for a dance competition and then have double birthday parties on Sunday after I train a client. I don’t even care that our weekends are jam-packed again and loving every second. I hope you have a fun weekend ahead and still get time to relax, too!

(P fell asleep during our late-night dinner to celebrate my brother Trevor’s bday)

We also went to see Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (10/10 would not recommend, but the popcorn was excellent), and I asked the girls to pose by the Top Gun poster. I was like, “Come take a picture by Tom Cruise! He’s SO cool! We can send it to dad.”

They were not as enthused. They’re like, “I see a guy in a flight suit every day.”

(Also worth mentioning here that our squadron rented out an entire theatre for the premiere and “costumes are encouraged.” I can’t wait. Even though the guys will be heckling at the screen and pointing out all of the inaccuracies the entire time.)

Before I get into the Friday Faves fun, I’m excited to announce the winner of the 100th podcast episode giveaway!

Congrats to Bonnie! She’ll be getting Sakara meals, Beautycounter goodies, Fit Team membership, and a custom movement assessment and nutrition guidelines

Stay tuned for more amazing giveaways, and can you sneak in a last-minute Inside Tracker entry here, too!

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.

Read, watch, listen:

 Things I’ve learned from diets I’ve tried. (Just ICYMI)

Don’t forget to check out this week’s podcast episode here! This one turned my world upside down.

Mother’s Day gift ideas!

3 things I realized when I stopped people-pleasing and received.

Powerful ways to improve confidence and self-worth.

Fashion + beauty:

LOVE this Club Monaco dress from RTR Unlimited, especially with white sneakers! One bummer about RTR Unlimited is that many of the clothes are sold out online, which makes it hard to link to things, buuuuut Amazon has a similar dress here. I actually have this one in red and it’s SO cute and flattering. They have a ton of colors and it’s only $32 right now.

I’m currently on a mission to find a swimsuit that is NOT cheeky. I’ll find a cute style, then look at the booty coverage and see that it’s a thong haha. The current styles are very cute, but I don’t need my kids and their friends to see my entire booty at the pool lol. I put the call out on Instagram last night and here are some of the recs I received!

If you have any recs, please send them my way!

LOVE all of the smocked tops that are in right now, especially with high waist jeans and hoops.

Fitness + good eats:

You guys. The Sakara grilled cheese and rustic tomato soup was a dream.come.true. I wish they offered this meal every week! It was SO savory and delicious. Sakara is doing some 30-day resets coming up, which include some amazing goodies (a baseball cap, Pilates collaboration, my favorite metabolism bars, and a 30-day guide), and you can use my code XOGINAH for 20% off, including regular meal plans and their clean boutique items. It’s an awesome little treat to gift yourself!

30-minute at home barre video.

Crockpot lentil soup. Going to sneak in a couple more soup nights before it’s a thousand degrees here.

The new Organifi green juice! It has a light apple flavor, instead of the minty-lemon original flavor. I expected it to taste like an apple Jolly Rancher and this was incorrect. It’s much more subtle, lightly sweet, and very clean and delicious. Code is FITNESSISTA for a discount!

TONS of dessert ideas here for summer get-togethers. 

Happy Friday, friends!

xoxo

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry

Discover The World’s Smallest “Mountain” – The Mount Paltry Move over Everest, there’s a new headline-grabber in town and it’s barely taller than you are. Mount Paltry has exploded on social media as the world’s smallest mountain , a tiny bump in Australia that has become internet-famous precisely because it looks… well, not very mountain-like at all. In a world obsessed with extreme hikes and record-breaking peaks, this modest mound has captured global attention by doing the exact opposite: being proudly underwhelming. Where on Earth Is Mount Paltry? Mount Paltry is described in viral posts as a miniature mountain in Australia, rising only a few metres above the surrounding land. It’s usually shown as a small, rounded rise in an otherwise flat landscape the kind of bump you might expect to call a hill, or even “just a bit of ground,” rather than a mountain. That’s exactly why people love it: the contrast between the dramatic title “world’s smallest mountain” and the very ordinar...

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles

Glamorous Plus-Size Wedding Guest Dresses in Beautiful Styles Did you know that over 67% of women in the U.S. wear a size 14 or larger? Yet, despite the demand, the fashion industry has been slow to provide elegant, well-fitting, and on-trend plus- size wedding guest dresses. Many women face limited choices, ill-fitting designs, and outdated silhouettes that fail to highlight their curves. Shopping for the perfect dress can feel like navigating a minefield either the options lack style, the fit is off, or the available dresses don’t align with the formality of the event. For years, plus-size women have been told to “hide” their curves instead of celebrating them. Traditional formalwear often lacks the structure, comfort, or aesthetic appeal needed to make plus-size wedding guests feel just as glamorous as their straight-size counterparts. The frustration of sifting through uninspiring racks, struggling with restrictive fabrics, or settling for ill- proportioned designs is all too fami...

Sculpt Society Review

Sculpt Society Review Sharing my thoughts on Sculpt Society and if I’d recommend this workout! For today’s post, I’m excited to share an updated review on one of my all-time favorite workouts! I was ad-targeted for this one forever, and since I always love trying new body workouts and absolutely love dance cardio, I figured I’d give it a whirl about a year ago. This workout program was founded by Megan Roup ( you can check out her Instagram here ) and I’ll share a full review below. Heads up that this review isn’t sponsored; I signed up for a 7-day free trial and am still a paying happy member over a year later. I’ve tried a lottttt of fitness apps in my routine and am always pumped when I find a winner. You can use my referral link to get a 7-day trial plus one month free on the fitness app! Sculpt Society Review What Is Sculpt Society? As I mentioned above, Sculpt Society was created by celebrity trainer Megan Roup and is a blend of dance cardio, barre, Pilates, and traditiona...
