5.15 Friday Faves

5.15 Friday Faves

Hiiii! Happy Friday! How are you?? I hope that you’ve had a wonderful week.

There’s been a lot going on around here! We had three weeks of travel – Las Vegas, El Paso for the BTS concert and I went to NYC for our mastermind last week – and Liv graduated from 8th grade! P still has one week left of school (poor thing lol) but then were in summer mode and I can’t wait. Sharing some pics from the recent adventures below!

Lola wanted to show you her ponytail and tell you she tried to eat our guinea pig this week.

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.

5.15 Friday Faves

Fashion, beauty, random:

NYC! This is one of my favorite places in the world and I was so pumped when I found out our mastermind would be meeting there for the spring events and brainstroming. (I’ve worked with Jill as one my business coaches and have been in her mastermind for years.)

Some highlights from the trip:

Business besties! I got to see some of my longtime friends and business besties, Giselle, Amber and Tina. In between sessions, we had so much fun and got to enjoy shopping, delicious food, and late night snacks and Pretty Woman in the hotel room.

The days were full of brainstorming and hot seats, and it was interesting to hear what everyone else is going in this rapidly-changing space. AI has changed the online space in many ways (some great, some devastating cough ad revenue cough), and it was helpful for me to get some new tips on ads, launch strategy, systems, and funnels.

MJ the Musical.

This wasn’t one that I would pick to see on my own (I like MJ but I’m not like OMG MICHAEL JACKSON if that makes sense) but it blew me away. The dancing and singing were incredible, and we have to admit that Michael Jackson has some BANGERS. It was amazing. Afterwards, we caught a rickshaw back to the hotel and were singing and dancing to Michael Jackson while people on the street were vibing with us. It was everything haha.

Amber and I stayed an extra night and saw Moulin Rouge! I *tried* to see it when it came to Tucson – I left during intermission because it was a mess haha – but wanted to give it another chance because one of my faaaves, Kelsie Watts, is the lead. It was INCREDIBLE. Her voice is a dream, the actor who played Christian was wonderful, the sets, dancing, production value, it was all amazing.

We also had the best gluten-free pizza and spent all day Saturday shopping on 5th ave before heading to the airport.

I was home just in time for Mother’s Day!

We had the best brunch at La Paloma with friends,

and met up with some other friends at their cabana at the pool.

That evening, we celebrated with my mom and nana at the park with takeout, drinks, and the kids could all run around and play.

Some purchases from lately:

these wrinkle patches. I like them even more than Frownies. I have a hard time peeling Frownies off my skin and these are lighter but seem to work just as well. They have a tiny bit of copper peptide, too, which is well-absorbed through the skin.

These jean shorts from Aritzia. Perfect length, not too expensive and fit TTS.

This book was highly recommend in our mastermind, so I ordered it.

I also ordered this book at the recommendation of a mentorship client who loves it.

More of my favorite CBD gummies. I had to re-audition for the symphony chorus this week and half of one of these helped my nerves immensely. It’s like instant calm. You can use GINAH here.

I LOVE linen for summer but don’t always love the prices. I ordered some pieces from Quince and will report back!

Dazzle Dry. After about five solid years of having dip nails, I’m giving them a break for summer and letting them breathe. They’re already driving me crazy so let’s see how long I last.

This had great review and while it’s ok, I don’t love it. I just love the thick and shiny look of dip but am trying to decrease toxins while I get my autoimmune stuff under control again.

Read, watch, listen:

FINALLY finished this book and while I think it dragged on a bit longer than it needed to, it was worth sticking with it. I definitely shed a tear or two at the last page. It was beautiful and definitely lived up to the hype.

Already excited for the next season of DWTS.

Fitness, health, and good eats:

Excited for new recipe inspo.

Healthy summer party and grilling recipes.

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...
