Hi friends! Happy Friday! What do you have going on this weekend? It’s Rodeo Break (it’s an AZ thing and I love it), so the kids are off school. We’re just enjoying some Tucson adventures, fun with friends, and enjoying this spring-like weather. Sending some sunshine to my freezing friends right now!
I’m doing a round of the EquiLife detox right now and feeling amazing. I was planning on starting with our community in January, but everyone else in the house got sick with a cold/virus, so I stopped after one day. I needed to shift my focus to immunity, and was able to stay healthy while I took care of everyone else.
Now that the retirement is over and things are a little more calm, it was a good opportunity to hop into it for 14 days. You can read more about my previous detox experiences here. This one focuses on high nutrients and lots of fresh, whole foods, so it’s pretty easy to stick with it. (Worth mentioning here that I skip the fasting days.)
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 commens section below.
Beefsteak! This is one of our favorite local events, and the funds support veterans and military families. They have a live auction (they auctioned a Tesla this year, which was pretty cool!) and silent auction, a delicious dinner (the seafood area this year was amaaaaazing), drinks. and dancing. I always love a lil opportunity to get dressed up and party it up with the Pilot and friends.
Dress was a last-minute Dillards find:
Some pics!
Amazon has SO MANY great spring dresses and sets right now. I’m going to do a post next week, but here are some that I have my eye on:
This 3D floral embroidery dress
A Somerset lookalike in so many colors
This dress looks way more expensive than it is
I have this in black and it’s so flattering and perfect for many occasions
If you like historical fiction, this was a 10/10 recent read.
They have adult ballet classes at Liv’s studio and I was thinking about going for it…
The value of doing nothing in a hyperproductive world.
Just ordered more of my favorite decaf coffee.
How to build a perfect salad bowl.
Such an easy make-ahead breakfast and the kids love it, too.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see ya soon!
xoxo
