5.1 Favorites Friday – The fitness man - infospherehub.smart-gifts.shop

Hiii! Happy Friday! How was your week? I hope you had a great time! Ours was a little chaotic, but it was good. Lola is still a 100% pure puppy and has me on my toes here. Do not leave any food unattended; she will remove it and eat it in two bites.

(She also learned to drink from the sprinkler and was doing zoomies all over the couch)

The pilot is back from a week long trip (YAY) and we’re off to see the BTS concert. Getting tickets was one of the most intense experiences of my life lol but I did it and the girls are inspired. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

It’s time for the weekly Friday Favorites List! Here I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your favorites too, so please shout out something you like in the comments section below.

5.1 Favorite Friday

Fashion, Beauty, Random:

We took the crew to Vegas last weekend and it was amazing. I think this is their first *real* time since P was a baby and Liv was super tiny the last time we went. The pilot was in Vegas for a military reunion, so the girls and I decided to crash the party. He was in an off-base hotel for the first two nights and planned to meet us on Sunday.

(getting on the gondola at the Venetian! We’ve been to Vegas so many times but never done this)

The girls and I arrived Saturday afternoon and headed to Bellagio to check into our hotel. I booked the hotel through our Amex platinum – my favorite for bonuses and points! – and depending on the hotel you book, you’re often entitled to late check-out, restaurant/breakfast credit, hotel or spa credit, and upgrades when available. (My referral link is here!)

Every time I check in, I politely ask them if they mind checking to see if there are any upgrades available. We’ve gotten lucky a few times and the check-in clerk has started typing furiously. I was hoping to have a view of the fountain so we could watch the show and she upgraded us to a TWO BEDROOM PENTHOUSE. It was almost as big as our house.

She said, « You’ll have more fun that way. »

What a gem!!!

So now the girls are ruined forever lol and totally obsessed with Vegas.

Some pictures of the room!

It had a living room, dining room, full bar, two huge bedrooms and five bathrooms. It was completely wild and amazing. (I also feel like maybe she can sense that I need a little pick-me-up after a pretty rough week.)

I’m working on a blog post with Vegas ideas for tweens/teenagers, but please let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to include or questions I can answer.

(Madame Tussauds was a blast)

Remedy sent some of their Vitamin C Serum and it’s so nice. I love that it’s inexpensive, doesn’t have a strong scent, and makes my skin feel tighter and brighter.

I saw this at Anthro and immediately picked it up. I love that it’s neutral with a fun extra detail.

Read, watch, listen:

How to care for a fiddle leaf fig.

Who are the unexpected friends in your life?

I’m taking Liv to see The Devil Wears Prada 2 today – I’ll report back!

Fitness, health and good food:

Back to strength training at the gym. I feel like I haven’t posted fitness content here in forever because I’ve been so exhausted. When I was in the depths of autoimmune fatigue, I began to dread the gym. I couldn’t do that, so I started taking classes mostly. I decided I really needed to strength train differently – I love 45, but I’ve lost a lot of muscle since I started, even though I only go on strength days – and it felt good to challenge myself with weights and go slow.

These gums they were so great for deep sleep when I feel stressed.

important! The Lumebox Birthday Sale is here and they are 50% off this weekend! If you’ve had your eye on one, now’s your chance! They are like the Swiss Army Knife of wellness devices. I use it for pain, soreness/recovery, headaches, stomach cramps, skin, mood and energy, I love this stuff. Get yours here!
