5.1 Friday Faves

5.1 Friday Faves

Hiiii! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you had a great one! Ours was a bit chaotic, but it was good. Lola is still 100% pure puppy mode and keeping me on my toes around here. Don’t leave any food unattended; she’ll swipe it and chomp it in two bites.

(She also learned to drink from the sprinkler and did zoomies all over the couch)

The Pilot is home from a week of travel (YAY) and we’re headed to see the BTS concert. Getting tickets was one of the most intense experiences of my life lol but I made it happen and the girls are pumped. I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead!

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

5.1 Friday Faves

Fashion, beauty, random:

We took the crew to Vegas last weekend and it was amaaaazing. I’m considering it their first *real* time since P was a baby and Liv was super little last time we went. The Pilot was in Vegas for a military reunion, so the girls and I decided to crash the party. He was at a hotel off-base for the first couple of nights and planned to meet up with us on Sunday.

(riding the gondola at the Venetian! We’ve been to Vegas so many times but had never done this)

The girls and I arrived Saturday afternoon and headed to the Bellagio to check into our hotel. I booked the hotel using our Amex platinum – my favorite for perks and points! – and depending on what hotel you book, you’re often eligible for late checkout, restaurant/breakfast credit, hotel or spa credit, and upgrades when they’re available. (My referral link is here!)

Whenever I check in, I kindly ask if they’d mind checking to see if any upgrades are available. We’ve gotten lucky quite a few times, and the check-in attendant starting typing furiously. I was hoping we’d get a fountain view so we could watch the show, and she upgraded us to a TWO-BEDROOM PENTHOUSE SUITE.  It was almost as big as our house.

She said, “You’ll have more fun this way.”

What a gem!!!

So now the girls are ruined forever hahah and totally obsessed with Vegas.

Some room pics!

It had a living room, dining room, full bar, two giant bedrooms, and five bathrooms. It was totally wild and amazing. (I also feel like maybe she could feel that I needed a little pick-me-up after a pretty rough week.)

I’m working on a blog post with Vegas ideas for teens/tweens but please let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to include or any questions I can answer.

(Madame Tussad’s was a blast)

Remedy sent some of their Vitamin C serum and it’s so good. I love that it’s inexpensive, don’t have a strong fragrance, and makes my skin feel tighter and brighter.

Saw this at Anthro and immediately swooped it up. I love that it’s neutral with a fun extra detail.

Read, watch, listen:

How to take care of a fiddle leaf fig tree.

Who are the unexpected friends in your life?

Taking Liv to see Devil Wears Prada 2 today – I’ll report back!

Fitness, health, and good eats:

A returm to gym strength training. I feel like I haven’t posted fitness content over here in forever because I was so burned out. When I was in the depths of autoimmune fatigue, I started to dread the gym. I couldn’t do it, and that’s why I started taking mostly classes. I decided that I really need to strength train a different way – I love 45 but I’ve lost a lot of muscle since I started, even though I only go on strength days- and it felt good to challenge myself with weights and move slowly.

These gummies have been so awesome for deep sleep when I’m feeling stressed.

Important! Lumebox birthday sale is here and they’re 50% off through the weekend! If you’ve had your eye on one, now is the chance! They’re like the Swiss army knife of wellness devices. I use it for pain, soreness/recovery, headaches, stomach cramps, skin, mood, and energy, I loooooove this thing. Get yours here!

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...

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!

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...
