Friday Favorites!

by

Hi friends!  I hope you all had a productive and happy week!  I am just popping in quickly for the usual Friday Faves post before heading into work for a long, closing shift.

This weekend, I have no other plans other than celebrating a friend’s birthday tonight, creating content and relaxing tomorrow, and a staff meeting on Sunday.

Feel free to play along and leave your current favorites in the comments below- have a great weekend!

Summery Desserts

There really isn’t much much to say other than it is BERRY SEASON.  I’ve been going through so many strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, and I can’t be stopped.  For something sweet, I’ve been loving a big bowl of strawberries and occasionally topping it with some pieces of chocolate.

Partner Workouts

This week, I’ve taught a couple boot camp and strength classes where we have done this workout thanks to Kindal!  I LOVED this workout when I did it at Blend last year, and was happy to find this saved to my Fitness Pinterest board:

That’s me in the orange leggings in the photo above! 🙂

Let me tell ya, I did this with my Tuesday night crew, and my legs are still sore!  If you are looking for a great workout, definitely check out this Boot Camp courtesy of Kindal.

Hummusapien’s Blueberry Oat Bars

I made these bars from Alexis for my neighbors who helped me hang up my curtains (because I can’t be trusted with a drill).  I had to try a bar (or two) before delivering them and they were delicious and super easy to make!  It is such a yummy and healthy recipe and an easy way to use up some of those blueberries you may have on hand.

Kylie Jenner Lip Kits

I kind of hate myself for this last one because I always told myself I would never buy one of those damn Kardashian lip kits.  BUT due to her excellent marketing team, I caved because I am a sucker for any matte lip products.  What’s even worse is that I love it and am including it in this favorites post.  Ugh, who am I?

  1. I’m not even a lipstick girl and I’m intrigued by the lip kits! Excellent marketing, indeed – and looks great on you!

    Thanks for the shoutout!! <3

  6. Yay for the blueberry bars!
    I am intrigued by the lipstick kit. I don’t really wear a lot of make up, but I do love lipstick.

    • I’ve worn it a couple time and am really pleased with it! I have another that is a darker color, so I still need to try that before making a final opinion about them haha

  7. I love that print on your friday favorites picture! So pretty! I am intrigued by the kylie lip kits as well but am addicted to my colourpop collection! Have you ever tried anything from them? They are supposedly very similar and fabulous! Also those blueberry bars look fabulous

    • I have not tried anything from Colourpop, but I am a sucker for new beauty products
