8.16 Friday Faves

8.16 Friday Faves

Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? It’s a pretty normal weekend around here with basketball, dance, time with friends, and time to plan and catch up for next week. It’s also our anniversary 🙂 I’m looking forward to a family dinner with my favorite people; I can’t believe I actually got to marry to Starbucks guy and feel blessed every day for this beautiful life we have together.

17 years <3

I’d love to hear 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.

8.16 Friday Faves

Fashion + beauty + random:

New Amazon watch band! I got this to wear with me “real people” clothes aka non-workotut clothes, and the quality is surprisingly good.

I loooove this gentle exfoliator. It isn’t too abrasive for sensitive skin and is also unscented.

Tangle teezer! Our girls’ friend had one of these and loves it, so I got some for the girls. The hype is real! It takes out tangles without pain and while the Morrocan oil always helps, this has been a gamechanger with all of the siwmming they’ve done.

Read, watch, listen:

The girls and I have been reading old American Girl books before bed and friends, they have stood the test of time. They’re just as lovely and interesting as I remember and the kids have adored them! It’s been fun to share the thing that introduced me to historical fiction when I was P’s age.

My friend Ana and I went to see It Ends with Us the other night – a weeknight movie with a friend felt like such a huge treat – and it was SOOOOO good. The book was ok for me – I get the hype but I don’t think she’s the most captivating author, please don’t throw anything at me – but the movie was excellent. The casting was A+++ and it was very well done.

Don’t forget to check out this week’s podcast episode here.

Mindset shifts to reduce the need for external validation.

Fitness, health, life, and good eats:

I’m on the prowl for quick, tasty, healthy dinner recipes to switch up our usual rotation. I’m back into school mody and activities shuffle with the kids, and sometimes we get home at dinnertime (or past dinner). We have our usual faves, but if you have any family meals you love that I can either make in advance, make in 15-20 minutes, or pop in the Instant Pot, I’d appreciate some recs so much!

Back on the Nutrisense train for me and it’s been very helpful to see the data after a summer of restaurant food in Spain and Hawaii. I’m focusing on blood sugar and hormones this fall and this is one of my favorite tools. You can check out my full review here and use GINA50 here for $50 off. 

Functional testing sale! Both the starter kit and the Big 5 are on sale until Sunday. They only do this twice a year. If you’re interested in doing some digging to find the true root causes for how you’re feeling, I highly recommend these tests. They’ve helped me when I thought things were hopeless, and they’re the tests I read every day for clients and friends. If you decide to purchase the Big 5 or Starter kit, send me an email gina@fitnessista.com subject TEST and your order number, and I’d be happy to provide a complimentary call to go over the results with you.

Heads up- we’re going to be doing another community detox in September, so I’ll have all of the details up next week!

Have a happy weekend and I’ll see ya soon. Have a wonderful weekend, friends!

xoxo

Gina

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.

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!
