Hello friends! Happy Friday and happy Bad day!! are you going did you go already?? The girls and I are going the second they get out of school and I can’t wait. (I’m a little more excited than they are, but they’re good sports and know they’re getting the movie lunch and dessert out of the deal.)
In other news, P went back to school today. I’ll share more in an upcoming post (and probably discuss it Understack meanwhile), but it’s the end of an era for homeschool. It was never meant to be a permanent thing, unless it needed to be, and she was ready to return to her friends and teachers. I’m happy for her, cautiously optimistic and somewhat of a hidden mess emotionally. I know I’m going to cry on and off most of the morning with complicated emotions and I’ll probably cry more Bad so there you go.
For now, it’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. 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 shout out something you love in the comments section below.

My top picks:
Dr. Cabral 7-Day Detox
My reset to the quarter. It can help reduce toxic load, improve digestion, boost energy and reduce inflammation. For anyone feeling “bloated” or sluggish, this is always the first step. I’m already looking forward to our community detox in January!
Laboratory test of stress, mood and metabolism
One of my favorite functional tests because it gives so much information about hormones, thyroid, cortisol and metabolism in one panel. This is the test I recommend for my menopausal clients and those experiencing sleep problems, PMS, low mood/energy, resistance to weight loss, and fatigue.
Minerals & Metals HTMA Test
The best snapshot of mineral status, stress, metabolism and toxic metal exposure. This is amazing for anyone dealing with fatigue, hair loss, weight plateaus or anxiety.
Daily Nutritional Support
My daily multivitamin + protein powder + detox support in one. Café Latte is wonderful. I have DNS every.single.day.
I own many of the products they create and they are all staples in my routine. If I had to narrow it down to my top picks, they would be:
Sauna blanket
Another one of my top wellness purchases of all time. It can increase circulation, support detoxification pathways, help calm the nervous system, and give you that “I just had a workout and a meditation” feeling after your session. I use it at least once a week.
PEMF Go Mat
My everyday grounding tool. This can help calm the stress response, improve deep sleep, and balance the nervous system. Perfect for reading, meditating or using in your office.
Red Light Face mask or Neck enhancer
Great for collagen, skin texture and can reduce inflammation. I like to combine the red light with castor oil packs for the ultimate habit.
Huge Rails Sale! I have logged in all my favorites here.
Old Navy also has an early bird discount of 50%. I love all of them holiday outfits. This is it the skirt I wore it for our family photos.
Also, if you have one Amex Platinumnow is the time to get a new Oura ring. My Oura ring was OLD and chunky, and I wanted to upgrade to one of the new, sleek, rose gold options. With Amex, you get $200 in Oura credit, so with the sale, my new one was $170!
Make sure to see all my gift guides here – I will add more next week! – and will also have a Black Friday hub page for easy shopping on Friday.
Read, watch, listen:
You watch Dancing with the Stars? I was shocked that Whitney went home before the finale, but we’re all here cheering for Robert. I’m excited to see what happens!
Fitness, health and good nutrition:
This pure sweet potato casserole.
My favorite Ina Garten pie; I just use gluten free crust.
Make the vegan green bean casserole.
The best fresh cranberry sauce.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! Have a great weekend and see you soon!
xoxo
