took the kids to Target (to \u201cbrowse,\u201d they said) and the Pilot returned from a long trip. The end of October through November has been crazy: he was gone, I left for RHS, we high-fived and he left, when he returned I went to LA, we high-fived again and he left, and now he\u2019s back! WHEW. It was such a treat that he could be here for Thanksgiving!<\/p>\n (dress is here<\/a> \/\/ boots are here<\/a>) We had the usual lunch\/dinner at my Uncle\u2019s house with all of my dad\u2019s side of the fam.<\/p>\n After that, we went to Trevor and Danielle\u2019s in the evening to hang out with Madre\u2019s side of the fam and see Daisy! She is just the funniest, cutest little nut. I love her so much.<\/p>\n The day was filled with family time, delicious food, a neighborhod stroll, and just taking it easy\u2026 I hope you had a wonderful one, too!<\/p>\n For now, it\u2019s 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\u2019re loving in the comments section below.<\/p>\n I look forward to Black Friday sales all year!! \u00a0This is when I blast through my holiday shopping list and also get some of the things we need for the house, or items I\u2019ve had my eye on. A LOT of creators share their links this time of year, and I wanted to thank those of you who choose to shop through my links. It means the world to me, and your support helps me offset some of the cost to keep the blog running, especially since ad revenue has taken a serious downturn with AI search.<\/p>\n Here are some of the best finds this year:<\/p>\n \u2013 INSANE sale at Farm Rio<\/a> aka my favorite place to shop! 50% off and extra 20% with code SUPER20. I got two dresses and am so excited about it! (This one<\/a> and this one)<\/a><\/p>\n \u2013 Walking pad.<\/a> The only way I\u2019m able to hit 10k steps most days! This one is less than $100 with Black Friday deals.<\/p>\n \u2013 Rebounder. This is a great way to support blood flow, the lymphatic system, and also improve focus during a long work day. I\u2019ll take a 5-minute break and bounce to some music. This one is on sale for BFCM.<\/a><\/p>\n \u2013 Anthro is 30% off<\/a>!! I\u2019m obsessed with their festive drinkware,<\/a> this dress<\/a> (I neeeeeed it), this sequin tee<\/a>, \u00a0\u201cYes, chef\u201d dish towel<\/a>, and this pack of my favorite clean fragrances<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2013 Old Navy<\/a>: 50% off sitewide. I ordered new uniform pants for both kids, this jacket for Liv<\/a>, and this jacket<\/a> for myself. Their holiday outfits<\/a> are so cute; this is what we wore for family pics this year. I got this skirt<\/a> and this dress<\/a> for Liv. I can\u2019t even believe that dress is only $13 right now!!! It fits beautifully and looks wayyyy more expensive.<\/p>\n \u2013 Vivrelle!!<\/a> Do this one for yourself lol -50% off Splendid sleepwear. I got these for Liv<\/a>; the fabric is a dream.<\/p>\n \u201325% off at Bombas!<\/a> Everyone needs new socks lol. I especially love their slipper socks,<\/a> and their compression socks<\/a> for long flights. The Pilot uses and loves them, too.<\/p>\n \u201350% off at J Crew<\/a>. I love their men\u2019s sweaters<\/a>, women\u2019s blazers<\/a> (they last forever), and girls\u2019 dresses. This is going to be P\u2019s Christmas dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2013 Great price for the Hatch<\/a>! Worth mentioning here that I don\u2019t pay for the subscription and it still works amazingly well.<\/p>\n \u2013 Ninja Creami Scoop on sale.<\/a><\/p>\n \u2013 Nontoxic air fryer<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2013 Vaccuum mop<\/a> aka the only way I\u2019m able to keep our floors sparkly and clean. (Also I use a little Branch Basics in the water even though you\u2019re not supposed to and it still works great for now lol)<\/p>\n \u2013 These gorgeous CZ earrings<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2013 Cozy and clean makeup set<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2013 This amazing pendant<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2013 This holiday essentials travel set.<\/a><\/p>\n \u2013 The perfect vanity case<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2013 Toniebox!<\/a> This is what I\u2019m getting for Daisy.<\/p>\n \u2013 If you don\u2019t have a Lumebox yet,<\/a> now is the chance. They\u2019re 50% off this weekend and it\u2019s the steepest discount they offer. I use it for so many things: headaches, muscle aches, energy, mood, skin, stomachaches, fever, period cramps (rarely get them, but when I do, this helps a lot), SO many things. It\u2019s like the Swiss army knife of wellness tools. Get yours here!<\/p>\n \u2013This skincare completely changed my skin.<\/a> It\u2019s Mediterranean skincare powered by hydroxytyrosol \u2013 the world\u2019s most potent antioxidant from the olive tree. It has anti-aging benefits backed by real science, clean ingredients, and formulas that actually change your skin\u2019s texture, glow, and firmness.<\/p>\n \u2013 Air Doctor<\/a>. Clean air makes such a huge difference, especially during this time of the year with allergies and colds floating around. This is their best price of the whole year.<\/p>\n \u2013 Canopy shower filter.<\/a>We noticed a difference in our skin and hair right away. The water feels softer and has zero chorline smell anymore. If you already have one, this is a good chaance to get more for extra bathrooms, or try their sink or bath filter.<\/p>\n \u2013 Mold-free coffee!<\/a> I\u2019m stocking up during the sale. The sad news is that coffee is a highly-sprayed crop, so many conventional options have pesticides, herbicides, and mold. This one is lab-tested for purity and remineralized, and it tastes DELICIOUS. I only drink decaf, and most decaf is nasty. This one is amazing.<\/a><\/p>\n \u2013 PEMF Go Mat.<\/a> I use this every.single.day for breathwork and meditation, or when I need a little recharge during computer work. I have a hard time deciding which one I like better: the famous sauna blanket!<\/a> or the PEMF mat. If you can do both\u2026 I say go for it. \u2013 Red light face mask<\/a>. I use this every morning while doing chores or multitasking. It gives my skin an amazing glow and I\u2019ve noticed a huge difference in my skin\u2019s texture<\/p>\n \u2013 OneSkin!<\/a> They have tiered savings for BFCM; the more you spend, the more you save. They use their own peptide, OS-01, which blocks senescent cells <\u2014 they can increase the aging process. I loooove their tinted moisturizer<\/a> and body lotion.<\/a><\/p>\n -My favorite quarterly detox!<\/a> If you\u2019re joining us in January, grab your kit now. You can do 7, 14 or 21 days.<\/p>\n \u2013 The most incredible wellness gift you could gift for yourself this season is an Integrative Health Practitioner certification<\/a>. I mentioned this in my last post, but if you\u2019re considering getting certified, it\u2019s one of the best things I\u2019ve ever done. I\u2019d be happy to chat with you and share more about my experience. This is their best price of the year: it\u2019s $2000 off and if you use my code, FITNESSISTA, it\u2019s an extra $500 off.<\/p>\n \u2013 Organifi! They make so many of my favorite things, including hydrogen water tablets, green juice, red juice, Harmony, and Pure. Check it out here!<\/a><\/p>\n If you\u2019re shopping for a specific person, I have a ton of ideas in this year\u2019s gift guides (a few more on the way!). Many of these include BFCM deals within the posts:<\/p>\n Biohacking and Wellness Gifts<\/a><\/p>\n For Her<\/a><\/p>\n For Him<\/a><\/p>\n For the Kids<\/a><\/p>\n For Tweens<\/a><\/p>\n Everything is linked on my ShopMy for easy access<\/a> and this page has a roundup of some of my top picks, too.<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019m SO sad that Dancing with the Stars<\/em> is over but it was so much fun watching this season, and we were so happy that Robert won. Trying to figure out what I\u2019m going to do with that Tuesday night void!<\/p>\n This was an excellent podcast episode about the power of your thoughts<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our go-to weeknight dinners<\/a>.<\/p>\n A 30-minute dance cardio and strength workout.<\/a><\/p>\n Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I\u2019ll see ya soon!<\/p>\n xoxo<\/p>\n Gina<\/p>\n The post 11.28 Friday Faves<\/a> appeared first on The Fitnessista<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi friends!
