Friday Faves 8.25

Hi hi! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope that you’ve had a great one! The Pilot was in and out most of the week, so I’ve been wrangling the crew here. They’re fully back to school with homework and events, and while I don’t really know what our schedule will look like yet, it feels good to be back into things. I also got my first massage in over a year (bless it), met up with a friend for a yoga class, and had a dry eye specialist appt. I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to!

This weekend both kids have birthday parties and I’m putting the finishing touches on Vitality. If you’re looking for a hybrid 1:1 and group coaching experience, you can join in here. This will also be the *hub* for my 1:1 clients since it will host videos and downloads on multiple wellness topics in one spot. This way, they can continue to work on foundations while we work together, and also enjoy lifetime access.

Check out the details here and send me an email (gina@fitnessista.com subject VITALITY) if you have any questions.

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.

Read, watch, listen:

Listening to the audiobook of this and it’s incredible so far. If you’re raising girls (especially ones in the tween stage), I highly recommend it.

The behind-the-scenes glimpse we all needed.

How did you prepare your child for the first day of school?

The pressure to dream big and the beauty of wanting less.

Favorite podcasts for kids.

Fitness + good eats:

Community detox! We are joining in on the massive EquiLife community detox; last time there were over 50,000 people! We start on September 11th as a group. I have a call with EquiLife later this morning and am excited to hear what they have to say. If you know you want to join in, comment on this post and I’ll email you the details as soon as I get them! I’ll also update this post after the call.

Made an Italian coconut cake for the Pilot to take to work. It’s from a 1986 cookbook my nana gave me, and it has so many classic recipes (with REAL ingredients). She often makes this cake for Easter and Christmas, and while I don’t think it turned out as well as hers, I’m excited to continue practicing.

A fitness tracker for brain health?

Fashion + beauty:

The Somerset dress continues to be my very favorite. The short ones and the long ones are equally classic and flattering, they’re well-made, they’re perfect for everyday, date nights, or vacation. I love the details of this embroidered one.

This bracelet! Tanaor Jewelry sent me this gorgeous bracelet and the entire Bible (KJV) is nano-printed onto the charm. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I will be wearing it in my little bracelet stack.
