Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? I hope you have a fun weekend ahead! I *hope* we’re finally going to decorate for Halloween, and I’m going to make an ofrenda for DÃa de los Muertos.
P has a basketball game, Liv has dance, we have a date night planned, and jet photos on Sunday. It’s going to go by quickly!
My heart has been aching all week for the victims of Hurricane Helene. When disasters strike, it’s hard for me to write posts about anything… everything I’m feeling or want to talk about just seems so meaningless, especially when others are suffering. In the spirit of finding distraction through little pockets of joy, I’m still going to post Friday Faves, even though my mind is absolutely elsewhere.
If you’re looking for ways to help and organizations to support, here are some options:
– Both Terilyn and Jenna have been posting resources on their Instagrams. Terilyn has created Amazon wist lists that will go directly to organizations who can distribue the items, and Jenna has been shopping and delivering items, using funds that are donated to her Venmo.
– Samaritan’s Purse is another option
– If you have any others to include, please leave them in the comments below
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.
10.4 Friday Faves
Fashion + beauty + random:
New Oliveda goodies. Our Vitamin C sermum is SO good (it’s in stock!) and I’ve been wanting to try this eye cream. I’ll definitely reoprt back. Remember that if you take the skincare quiz and purchase two items from your recommendations, you’ll receive a free gift (it will automatically show up in your cart after you add two items from your recommendations to the cart).
(New nails! Walnut brown with chrome)
I can’t even begin to tell you about how excited I am for this. I’ve been wanting a cute EMF protetcion bag and HigherDOSE released one and sent one to me to try! It’s actually cute – many of the EMF blockers are…not – and beautiful quality. It’s perfect for walks and hikes when I want my phone on me, but don’t want the EMFs so close to my body.
(Use FITNESSISTA15 for 15% off at HigherDOSE here)
This is part of their Endorphin set, which includes the bag (!),  (note: my code doesn’t work on the bundles because the items are already discounted, but you can use the FITNESSISTA15 code on single products.)
Prime Days are next week! What do you have your eye on? I’ll be spending some time this weekend creating posts with all of my favorite deals.
Volunteering at Ronald McDonald house with Liv last weekend. We did their Chef for a Day program through an organization that we belong to, and made brunch for the families. Our contribution was blueberry and cinnamon muffins. We loved doing this together and will absolutely do it again.
Read, watch, listen:
Started reading this and absolutely loving it so far.

Fitness, health, life, and good eats:
Made this chicken piccata this week and it was amazing. The kids loved it, too! I used gluten-free flour and served it with risotto and garlic lemon sauteed spinach.
Have these Korean BBQ bowls on the meal plan for tonight.
You have to try this pumpkin oatmeal bake.
Have a happy weekend and I’ll see ya soon.
xoxo
