Hi friends! Happy Monday! How was the weekend? I hope you had an amazing one. It felt so good to be back at home and have a bit of a *normal* weekend. We’ve had so many fun events and activities lately, my body was just ready for some downtime and a bit of a reset.
Weekend Recap
Friday evening after the mastermind, the Pilot and the girls picked me up and we went straight to my cousin’s wedding in Phoenix.
They had a gorgeous ceremony and reception at the Big Tin Cotton Gin with Mexican food, great music, and a pizookie truck for dessert. 
Saturday was my bday, and it was the perfect day. We went to P’s soccer game, and then I took the best nap. I woke up to Saffron Indian food, the BEST cake from Lovin’ Spoonfuls (gf confetti with chocolate frosting), and the fam came over for cake.
Afterwards, madre and nana watched the girls while the Pilot and I went to Dusk Music Festival with friends.
I knew absolutely nothing about any of the bands, but ended up loving NGHTMRE. He had SO much energy and it was a blast watching him. Totally going to listen to his music for my next HIIT day. The people-watching at Dusk was an A+, too.
Sunday morning, our babysitter came over for a few hours so I could get some writing and work stuff done. We took the girls to a bday party, and then had an easy dinner here at home.
It’s been a wild few weeks, but I’m excited to get back into a routine this week and really looking forward to Thanksgiving. It’s hard to believe it’s already next week!
Holiday Shopping
I’m trying to get all of my holiday shopping done this week (I want to kick back and enjoy the rest of the season), so I’m pumped to share that three of my favorite brands ever have started their Black Friday deals early. I’m pumped to share these incredible offers with you if you’re trying to finish your shopping, too. These would make amazing gifts for someone you love… and yourself 😉 You deserve a lil treat and these are some of my very favorite things.

I use HigherDOSE products every.single.day and they’re offering their best promos of the year.
