1.24 Friday Faves

1.24 Friday Faves

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope it was amazing. Ours started off in Orlando and ended up back in the TUS with a sick Pilot, and me scrambling around lol. This weekend, I’m looking forward to the symphony, time with friends, a hike, and a trip to Phoenix for Liv’s first dance competition of the season.

(Soup season! I just throw a ton of veggie, broth, herbs and beans into the Instant Pot then top with lemon juice and avocado)

I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead, too!

Disney World adventures:

Disney was perfection, as usual. We got in late Friday night and slept in a bit before heading to Magic Kingdom on Saturday. We spent the day doing all of the rides and had lunch at Be Our Guest. This is one of our staples, but the food was especially amazing during this trip.

(I also had gf rolls, and a French onion soup that they made without the crouton)

I mentioned to the server that I was gf – she asked if there were allergies at the table and I said I wasn’t allergic but I avoid it for health reasons – and she brought so many gluten-free treats!!

I have to admit that we were underwhelmed by the food on our last Disney cruise, and the food at the parks this time was wayyyy better. Everything was fresh and delicious, and it was super easy to find gluten-free options, protein, and vegetables amongst the usual cascade of Disney popcorn and sweet treats. 😉

We rolled into the park at 11 and had a long leisurely lunch, but we were still able to do 15 attractions and closed down the park.

It was our first time on Tron and it was SO much fun.

Sunday it was raining a bit and they had predicted thunderstorms throughout the day.

We wore ponchos (always buy on Amazon; they’re like $15 at the parks), and I also brought shoe ponchos, which ended up saving the day!! We were totally dry and no one had soggy feet. 😉

The good news is that the rain slowed down, there were no thunderstorms, and we were able to do all of the rides and attractions. I have a strange fear of dinosaurs – I think it’s because they were real at one time, but they genuinely freak me out – and the fam convinced me to conquer my fear and go on the Dinosaur ride.

It went really well lol.

The Avatar rides were a much-needed palate cleanser — Flight of Passage is epic every single time.

We saw the Lion King show (so good) and had lunch at Satu’li Canteen.

(Chicken, sweet potatoes, slaw and chimichurri sauce)

We ended the evening at Disney Springs and woke up early for our Monday morning flight!

It was a quick trip, but it was a blast and the perfect way to celebrate Liv’s 13th birthday.

Here are some more fave finds from the week:

1.24 Friday Faves

Fashion + beauty + random:

Tuckernuck sale! There are so many amazing finds in this sale, but I had some restraint and ordered three dresses:

This classic dress that you can dress up or down

Excited to wear this dress with white sneakers

And this pink shirtdress

Loving everything Veronica Beard right now.

Read, watch, listen:

Reading this book and feeling inspired. 

When unhappiness is the soul crying out for nourishment.

My friend Julie mentioned the show Younger today, too, and I just discovered it and fell in love with it this past week. It came up on my Netflix “recommend for you” and I had no clue it was an older show – I thought it was brand new. I thought to myself, “Wow, between this and Hugh Jackman, Sutton Foster is really having a moment right now.” It’s witty, fun, romantic, and I’ve been enjoying it while strolling on my walking pad.

Fitness, health, life, and good eats:

New toothpaste! I’ve been following Dr. B and Dr. Staci on Instagram for a while, so I was excited to try their brand. It’s *very* sweet but I love the ingredients and it seems to do a good job so far. If you’re looking for a cleaner toothpaste option, check it out! P tried it out last night and LOVES it.

I ordered a case of this hydrogen water and while the taste is amazing, the shipping was horrible. It took forever to ship and half the cans were dented, so I have mixed feelings about it.

Salted chocolate pudding…omggggg

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

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...
