Friday Favorites | 3rd Edition

January 17, 2020 Leave a Comment

I️t’s hard to believe it’s already Friday again! The past two weeks have been a blur and I️’m still trying to get on track this year, slowly but surely. I️ tend to focus a lot on home organization/cleaning and cooking healthy meals in the new year – and of course, try to continue those things all year. Sometimes easier said than done, but that’s life, right?! 🙂

Friday Favorites

ONE | Glass Food Storage

Glass Food Storage

One thing I️’ve been wanting to do for a while is switch out all of our plastic food storage for glass versions. We all know the harmful effects of plastics, especially reheating things in plastic, and I️’m trying to make a conscious effort to switch our household to safer products. These glass storage containers are from BJ’s Wholesale Club, but I️ also found similar ones here if you aren’t a member.

TWO | Counter Culture Probiotic Floor Cleaner

Counter Culture Probiotic Floor Cleaner

Someone on a local FB mom group was asking for floor cleaner recs the other day, and I️ immediately suggested this Counter Culture cleaner. Since I️ love this one so much, I️ wanted to share it with you guys, too! This is another area where I️’ve been switching to safer products, and I️ found this particular cleaner on Grove Collaborative. I️ love that it’s not an ‘antibacterial’ cleaner, but instead it contains healthy probiotics rather than chemicals to clean your floors. I️ am always shocked at how dirty my floors were when I️ use this cleaner, and how sparkling clean they end up! Highly recommend.

THREE | Le Creuset Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Le Creuset Dutch Oven

I️ had a Le Creuset dutch oven on my wish list for several years now and I️ was so surprised to get one this past Christmas from my husband (who loves cooking and kitchen gadgets even more than I️ do!). I️ have used this almost daily to cook with – I️ initially thought I️’d use it mostly for soups and chili, but it heats so evenly that I️’ve found it easy to cook all kinds of meats and other dishes in it as well. It’s very heavy, so I️ leave it on our stovetop when it’s not being used (plus, it’s pretty!) and it cleans up so well. I️ can’t speak to other brands, but I️’ve also heard good things about less pricey versions. For me, this Le Creuset was worth the splurge!

This week’s favorites are definitely focused on the home and on quality products. I️ definitely used to be more focused on cost, but as I️’ve gotten older, I️ realize the value in splurging on quality and ‘safer’ products for all areas of our life. Let me know if you’ve tried any of these favorites in the comments below – or if you have other faves to share!

These beauties went camping at the @schielemuseum These beauties went camping at the @schielemuseum with Troop 2997 last night ⛺️ Proud of them for being brave because when I was their age, you couldn’t catch me sleeping away from home…ever 🤣

Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — Prolon Day 3 | The day started off really good — I felt very clear-minded and awake this AM 🥳 Truly, I was nervous because today was a very low-cal day and I wasn’t sure how I’d feel 😅 I did grab a plain iced espresso because my energy was depleting super quickly and that def helped 👌🏼 After lunch, though, I started to hate depriving myself of real food and disliked that I couldn’t push myself in my workouts like I usually do 😒 After dealing with three kids who clearly woke up on the wrong side of the bed 😆, slicing my hand open with a knife and being cranky and irritable because I’ve been hangry for 3 days, I caved. And sorry, not sorry ✌🏼 I just wanted a dang salad and some protein so I can lift heavy things 💪🏼 Moral of the story, listen to your body and what it needs. And maybe try a 1-2 day cleanse/fast because that’s about all mine could handle 🤪

@prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than ye @prolonfmd Day Two | Overall an easier day than yesterday 👌🏼 Time went by faster and I didn’t have any nausea from being hungry…I looked forward to and savored all of today’s meals — the black bean soup for dinner was actually really good (esp with a little cumin + paprika!) 🙌🏼 I did @pure_barre this AM and then a @onepeloton walk this afternoon…keeping it light because of how little I’m consuming this week 😅 Not gonna lie, nervous for day 3 because it’s the lightest day of food and I’m already pretty hangry in general 🤣 Interestingly, I’ve felt pretty amazing today other than just craving a real meal 👌🏼 Btw, was so hungry for dinner that I forgot to share it in the reel 🤦🏼‍♀️

@prolonfmd Day One | The struggle is real 😅 I’ve done cleanses in the past so I’m no stranger to this…but coming off a few weeks of holiday drinks and some indulgences, today was no easy feat 🤣 My energy definitely ebbed and flowed throughout the day, and felt weak and nauseated every now and then from lack of calories and protein 🙈 It was the longest day ever, but I cleaned, vacuumed, mopped and then did a @onepeloton walk & yoga class and still had time left over (side note, why doesn’t every day feel this long?! 😆). Actually feeling good this evening after having a sparkling water ‘mocktail’, energized and clear-minded 👌🏼

2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so ma 2022 — what a year ✨ It challenged me in so many ways, but I also thrived in many ways. Continuing to grow a business with a husband, three kids, a dog and two cats is not a simple feat but here we are 😏 We adventured a LOT this year - from Girl Scout adventures to family vacations to HHI, the mountains, OBX and more, we had plenty of fun and made lots of memories 😘 The best part of this year was just really allowing myself to live in the moment and not allow stress to overtake me as I’ve allowed it in the past 😅 I also rediscovered my love of running thanks to my @onepeloton Tread and hit big goals at @purebarre_highlandcreek 💪🏼 Here’s to living more in the present, accomplishing bigger goals and dreams and having an amazing 2023 🥂
