4.3 Friday Favorites – Fitnessista

Hello friends! Happy Easter weekend and Happy Easter to my celebrating friends. I hope you have a great weekend ahead! Hanging out at the pool – ours is still pretty cold so it’s nice to have a hot option!- getting together with friends to watch the U of A game (GO STRONG!) and spending Easter with the family. We’re having Easter brunch at dad’s and mom’s side of the family is coming here to BBQ for dinner.

For now, I’m hanging out with my red light, dodging loads of laundry, and thinking about a last minute run for Easter supplies.

It’s time to round up the weekly Faves! This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your favorites, too, so please shout out your favorite in the comments section below.

4.3 Friday Favorites

Fashion, beauty, random:

Ordered these sandals from Amazon and was pleasantly surprised! I’m not posting pictures of the feet here lol but they are true to size, very comfortable and I can say I will be wearing them a lot. I was looking for a casual sandal to wear with skirts and dresses and these are perfect.

They are actually very similar in terms of price.

And you know you’ve reached a special point in life when you’re happy with a pillow. I was using a flat pillow that I bought during Rona’s time, and I loved it because I hate super fluffy pillows, but it was completely flat. I would wrap it up, and often wake up with neck or shoulder pain as I sleep on my side. (I really try to sleep on my back because it’s better for your skin but I can’t do it.)

I did a lot of research and found this one. It was important to me that it would be non-toxic and not too wet. This one is on the soft side – you can even add more to it if you like as it comes with extra fluff – but I think it will soften over time. I slept very well every night and it usually takes a while to get used to a new pillow. I might even get a pilot for you!

Photo of the full moon meditation and sound bowl class I took with a friend this week. It was very relaxing and 45 minutes flew by. I can’t wait to do it again!

Shopbop is having a HUGE sale!

Here are some of my top picks:

The perfect bootcut jeans.

I am obsessed with these knitted ballet flats.

It shines with SPF.

I love the details on this dress.

This cute romper.

The jellies are back and I’m not mad about it.

A beautiful spring dress from one of my favorite brands.

I have not tried these suits but I have heard amazing things.

This beach bikini.

Pool slides

I bought two pairs of these in my Spain and they are my favorite flats. Size up! (I’m usually a 38 and wear a 39 in these) I’m currently wearing this pair!

This midi dress

One of my favorite brands (because I am the only daughter in our family)

A classic polo for jeans, skirts, or shorts.

Fitness, health, and good nutrition:

I’m thinking of doing an old school fitness challenge here with a new workout to follow. Think two weeks of exercise (barre, high strength, walking, and core), plus a FB group for accountability and some prizes? It can be very low cost, like $49. If this is something you would like to join, please comment YES below so I can gauge interest. Thank you, friends!
