Friday Faves 5.10 - The Fitnessista

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? Ours was a wild one, packed with events, but such is Maycember. We also had the great Beautycounter fallout, which was pretty mentally draining. I’m excited for the weekend and for the new week ahead.

I hope that my friends who are celebrating Mother’s Day enjoy a beautiful holiday this weekend! If Mother’s Day is a difficult time for you, I’m sending you a hug, and holding you in my heart. We’ll be Sunday brunching around here and then I want to spend the rest of the afternoon by the pool, margarita in hand.

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.

5.10 Friday Faves

Life:

Last weekend, Liv had her last dance compeition of the season, so we had another weekend in Phoenix. In between all of the dancing and costume changes, we had our usual takeout picnic and Friends marathon. It was perfection. She still has recital coming up in June, but I can’t believe how quickly competition season flew by!

Mother’s Day Tea at the kids’ school. This is something they do for the younger departments, but it ends in 2nd grade. It was our last year doing it together and it’s one of my favorite traditions of the year. They had a lovely spread of drinks and snacks, we did some crafts together, and the kids performed a poem and song for all of us. It was so beautiful and special.

Fashion + beauty:

This face cream is back in stock so I snagged some! Using it to replace Beautycounter’s Supreme Cream. It’s thick and luxe and has excellent ingredients.

Obsessed with everything Farm Rio lately and neeeeeed this dress.

Also loving this dress, this top, this dress, and this swimsuit.

If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day treat, I hiiiighly recommend something from HigherDOSE! You can get a sauna blanket, red light face mask, or PEMF Go Mat and use the code FITNESSISTA15. These are some of my very favorite things and I use at least one HigherDOSE product every day.
