Friday Favorites
photo credit: The Velvet Snout, http://www.thevelvetsnout.com/ Yesterday was the first official day of summer, and of course in true Vegas style, it was also the hottest thus far coming in at 111 degrees F. At that temperature, you head to the pool, hunker down inside or escape to the air-conditioned movie theater. We spent the day at the pool and Goob was a champ for it being his first time. He stayed in the shade the whole time with me while the 3 amigos swam, but there wasn’t any crying, he just laid by me enjoying the mom time and being shirtless. Dying to find out this week’s top favorites? …

Friday Favorites
This week’s Friday Favorites are all over the place. I’ve been spending the last 2 weeks driving to and from the hospital every day. So all of these items have been a lifesaver as I have been spending as much time with my dad as possible. He’ll have one more week of recovery at the hospital from his double bypass surgery and then he will be at my house for at least a week before he and mom head back home to Idaho. These first two items go hand-in-hand. The DULLA battery pack holds 4 charges for an iPhone X and has a flashlight built in. I also purchased…

Friday Favorites
I have to admit, I am totally distracted at the moment because I am attempting to write this post while cheering the Vegas Golden Knights in the 4th game of their playoffs. I definitely am not a multitasker! But I just have to share this week’s favorites. Most of them are practical and have definitely aided in making my mom life easier. As much as I absolutely adore my wedding ring set, there are a few situations that I would rather not wear it. In place, I wear a silicone band set. There are many different brands and most all of them cater to both men and women. I prefer…

Friday Faves
This week’s favorites are kind of an eclectic group; a little beauty, a little baby, a little fashion and a favorite food. Any way it’s sliced, these are favorites, have made my life either easier or happier or both. And let’s be honest…food, especially a new favorite food ALWAYS makes me happy! First up is dry shampoo, and let’s face it…dry shampoo is a product that people are very picky about. Either it gives too much texture, doesn’t suck up the oils enough, and/or it causes a white cast on your roots. I’ve tried just about every kind. The Triple Sec from Drybar was perfect in texture and oil control, but…

Friday Favorites-Fitness Edition
Now that I have started back into working out, I thought I would share some of my fitness favorites. Now, none of these things are necessary to workout; but they all sure make my workouts easier in some way or another. Whoever said running was a cheap sport, was definitely not a runner. The FlipBelt is by far my most favorite workout accessory. It holds my phone, keys, money, etc. I found it when I went searching for something that would hold my phone when my armband wouldn’t stay on my arm halfway through a long run. I’ve used my FlipBelt for half marathons, for weightlifting, hiking. It…

Friday Faves
This week’s faves have been kind of minimal. I started back at the gym this week, I’m hoping to be able to get back to my 9.15min mile by this summer. We will see though. I use to be a hardcore Mizuno running shoe gal, and those are amazing for trail running, but they are super heavy shoes. I’ve found that unless I am training for a long distance race, I prefer lighter weight running shoes. These Adidas Performance Women’s Edge Lux Running shoe has been amazing. The sole padding is plenty and the stretch around the ankle is enough for security, but not too much where it cuts off…
