Hello friends! Happy Friday! What are you doing this weekend? Have a great weekend! I *hope* I can finally get around to decorating for Halloween. And I’m going to make an ofrenda for the Day of the Dead.
P is at a basketball game, Liv is at a dance, we’re planning a date night, and we’ll be taking photos of jets on Sunday. It goes by so quickly!
My heart has been aching all week for the victims of Hurricane Helen. It’s hard to write about anything when disaster strikes… Everything I feel or want to talk about seems completely pointless, especially when others are suffering. In the spirit of distracting myself from small joys, I’m going to post my Friday favorites, even if my mind is completely elsewhere.
If you’re looking for ways to help or organizations to help, here are some options:
– Terrilyn and Jenna both post resources on Instagram. Terilyn creates an Amazon list that goes directly to organizations that can distribute the products, and Jenna uses the money donated to Venmo to shop for and ship the products.
– Samaritan’s Purse is also an option.
– If there is anything else you would like to include, please leave it in the comments below
It’s time for your favorite party every Friday. Here we share some of our favorite finds from the week and around the web. I love hearing about your favorites too, so give your favorites a shout out in the comments section below.
10.4 Friday Favorites
Fashion + Beauty + Random:
Oliveda’s new work. Our Vitamin C serum is so good (in stock!) that I wanted to try this eye cream. I will definitely come back again. Please note that if you take the skincare quiz and purchase two items from our recommendations, you will receive a free gift (if you add two items from our recommendations to your cart, the gift will automatically appear in your cart).
(New nails! Walnut brown with chrome)
I can’t express how excited I am about this. I wanted a cute EMF protection bag and HigherDOSE released one and sent it to me to try. It’s actually cute – a lot of EMF blockers aren’t… and it’s a beautiful quality. Perfect for walks or hikes when you want to carry your phone but don’t want EMFs close to your body.
(Get 15% off when you use FITNESSISTA15 at HigherDOSE here)
This is part of an Endorphin set that includes a bag (!) (Note: My code won’t work on bundles as the item is already discounted, but you can use code FITNESSISTA15 for single products) .
Next week is Prime Day! What are you paying attention to? I’m going to spend some time this weekend creating posts about my favorite sales.
Last weekend, Liv and I volunteered at the Ronald McDonald House. We ran a “chef for a day” program through our organization and cooked brunch for families. What we were served were blueberry and cinnamon muffins. We loved doing this together and would definitely do it again.
Read, watch, listen:
I started reading this and am loving it so far.

Fitness, health, life and delicious food:
I made this chicken piccata this week and it was amazing. The kids loved it too! Made with gluten-free flour, served with risotto and spinach sautéed with garlic and lemon.
Add these Korean BBQ bowls to your meal plan tonight.
Give this Pumpkin Oatmeal Bake a try!
I hope you have a great weekend! See you again soon.
