Hello friends! Happy Friday and Happy Wicked day!! Are you going? Have you ever been there?? The girls and I go there as soon as they get out of school and I can’t even wait. (I’m a little more excited than them, but they’re good sports and know they benefit from a movie lunch and dessert.)
Besides, P went back to school today. I’ll share more in a future post (and probably talk about it on Substack in the meantime), but it’s the end of a the homeschool era. It was never meant to be a permanent thing unless it was necessary, and she was ready to return to her friends and teachers. I’m happy for her, cautiously optimistic and sort of in a secret emotional mess. I know I will cry on and off most of the morning with complex emotions, and I will probably cry more at Wicked so there you go.
For now, it’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party. This is where I share some of my favorite finds from the week and around the web. I always love hearing about your favorites, so feel free to shout out something you like in the comments section below.

My favorites:
Dr. Cabral’s 7-Day Detox
My favorite quarterly reset. It can help reduce toxic load, improve digestion, increase 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!
Stress, Mood, and Metabolism Lab Test
One of my favorite functional tests because it gives a lot of information about hormones, thyroid, cortisol and metabolism in one panel. This is the test I recommend for my perimenopausal clients and those experiencing difficulty sleeping, PMS, low mood/energy, resistance to weight loss, and fatigue.
HTMA test for minerals and metals
The best insight into your mineral status, stress, metabolism and exposure to toxic metals. It’s amazing for anyone suffering from fatigue, hair loss, weight plateaus, or anxiety.
Daily nutritional support
My daily multivitamin + protein powder + detox support in one. Café Latte is delicious. I have DNS every 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 these:
Sauna blanket
It’s still one of my best wellness purchases of all time. It can increase circulation, support detoxification pathways, help calm the nervous system, and give you that “I just did a workout and meditation” post-workout feeling. 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 at your desk.
Red Light Face Mask Or Neck enhancer
Great for collagen, skin texture and can reduce inflammation. I love pairing red light with castor oil packs for the ultimate habit stack.
Big Rails sale! I put a link all my favorites here.
Old Navy also offers a 50% early bird discount. I like everything vacation outfits. It is the skirt I wore it for our family photos.
Also, if you have a Amex PlatinumNow is the time to get yourself a new Oura ring. My Oura ring was OLD and chunky, and I wanted to upgrade to one of the sleek new rose gold options. With Amex you get a $200 Oura credit, so with the sale my new one was $170!
Make sure to check out all my gift guides here – I will add more next week! – and will also have a Black Friday hub page for easy Friday shopping.
Read, watch, listen:
Are you looking Dancing with the stars? I was shocked that Whitney went home before the finale, but we’re all here to cheer for Robert. I can’t wait to see what happens!
Fitness, health and good nutrition:
This clean-eating sweet potato casserole.
My Ina Garten FAVE pie; I just use a gluten free crust.
Make-Ahead Vegan Green Bean Casserole.
The best fresh cranberry sauce.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today! Have a wonderful weekend and see you soon!
