7.24 Friday Faves

7.24 Friday Faves

Hiiii! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? We’re enjoying some pool time after lots of rain this week, the Pilot is home (wahoo!), and we have an NCL event. I hope that you have a fun and relaxing weekend ahead! When do your kiddos go back to school? We have a little over a week left and I can’t even believe it. Liv is going to be in HIGH SCHOOL. How?!

(this week’s gorgeous flowers from Trader Joe’s. The whole bouquet was only $15 to put together.)

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.

7.24 Friday Faves

Fashion, beauty, random:

A trip to Orlando! We headed to Orlando last weekend to visit our friends who live in Sevilla. They’re in Florida for the month, so it was our only chance to meet up with them before school starts. The crazy thing about pilot family life is that you can decide to take a trip at the very last minute if there’s availability. We went back and forth on options and figured out we could make it happen maybe 36 hours before landing in Orlando.

(so grateful our kiddos picked each other as best buddy soulmates when they were 2 1/2 years old)

Whenever we see them, we pick up where we left off, and the girls had the BEST time together. We stayed at a hotel with an awesome pool and lazy river, did a day at Epcot, Disney Springs, dinner at Medieval Times, and just enjoyed hanging out together. It was a 5 day trip and we packed so much fun into that time; it was perfect.

Worth mentioning here that Epcot was a BLAST. We haven’t gone in years since we usually opt for Animal Kingdom or Disney World, but we thoroughly enjoyed the food, rides (Test Track and Ratatouille were amazing and the kids were obsessed with Figment), and the slower pace. It didn’t feel as busy or chaotic as the other parks, and the fireworks show was incredible.

Also, for my gluten-free friends, I have two 10/10 meal recommendations for you:

(since we booked this at the last minute, I didn’t have time to plan as well as I usually do, but I found this Instagram page and she has TONS of gf options!! I booked dining while I was lurking her page on the plane)

Chefs de France in Epcot. They were so knowledeable about gf options and brought gf bread to the table for me and P,

and the kids chocolate mousse was to diiiiieeee for.

The shaved ice in Japan is also gf and you need it. (With coconut creme on top!)

(LOLing at the fact that I put on press-on nails that lasted one day and I put them on upside down. I’m a professional as you can see)

My other rec is Sunny House on the Lake in Disney Springs. SO many of their menu options can be made gf, the vibe and food were fantastic. It was dark while we were eating but you get the idea with this GF CHEESY BREAD. AHHHHHHHH.

Loving this Xirena dress! True to size and the fabric quality is lovely.

NEW goodies from my friends at HigherDOSE! They sent me their new Healthy Hair Ritual set, including a dermal stamper, their new light-activated hair serum, and amaaaazing accupressure brush. You can stack the full routine with my favorite red light cap. Check out the new set here and use LIGHTACTIVED for a discount through tomorrow!

Read, watch, listen:

I’ve watched this way too many times.

Finished this book (devoured it on the plane) and getting into this one.

What’s your policy on bad language?? We are hard nos on it around here even though I admitedly let an F bomb slip every now and again lol.

Don’t forget to check out my roundup of Nordstrom Sale faves here!

An excellent podcast episode with two of my faves.

Fitness, health, and good eats:

The return of the famous Jennifer Aniston salad. For soccer practice nights, I’ll usually make something in advance that I can eat while P is playing. I’m eating at every single practice lol. For this one, I air fried some chicken thighs and chopped them up and served with a side of pineaple. So easy, so good, and leftovers are amazing for lunch the next day.

You don’t have to strength train a ton to see benefits.

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...
