Hello friends! Happy Friday and have a nice bad day!! Will you? Have you left yet? The girls and I are leaving as soon as 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 the deal gets them lunch and dessert for the movie.)
Also, P went back to school today. I'll share more about this in an upcoming post (and probably talk about it on Substack in the meantime), but it's the end of a homeschool era. It was never meant to be a permanent thing unless it had to be, and she was ready to go back to her friends and teachers. I'm happy for her, cautiously optimistic and somehow emotionally in a secret mess. I know I'll be crying most of the morning because of complex emotions, and I'll probably cry even more during Wicked, so here we go.
Now it's time for the weekly Friday Faves party. Here I share some of my favorite finds of the week and around the internet. I'm always happy to hear about your favorites too, so please share what you like in the comments section below.

My top tips:
Dr. Cabral 7 day detox
My quarterly reset. It can help lower toxic load, improve digestion, increase energy and reduce inflammation. For anyone feeling “bloated” or sluggish, this is always the first step. I'm looking forward to our Community Detox in January!
Laboratory test on stress, mood and metabolism
One of my favorite functional tests because it offers so much insight into hormones, thyroid, cortisol and metabolism in one panel. This is the test I recommend to my perimenopausal clients and those suffering from sleep problems, PMS, low mood/energy, resistance to weight loss, and fatigue.
HTMA test for minerals and metals
The best overview of your mineral status, your stress, your metabolism and your exposure to toxic metals. This is amazing for anyone struggling with 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 DNA every day.
Higher DOSAGE
I own many of the products they make and they are all a staple in my routine. If I had to narrow it down to my top tips it would be these:
Sauna blanket
Still one of my top wellness purchases of all time. It can stimulate blood circulation, support detoxification pathways, help calm the nervous system, and leave you feeling like “I just exercised and meditated” after the session. I use it at least once a week.
Pemf Go Mat
My daily 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 structure and can reduce inflammation. I love combining red light with castor oil packs for the ultimate habit stack.
Huge Rails Sale! I have linked all of my favorites here.
Old Navy also has an early 50% discount. I love all holiday outfits. This is the skirt I wore for our family photos.
Even if you own an Amex Platinum, now is the time to get a new Oura ring. My Oura ring was OLD and thick, and I've always wanted to upgrade to one of the new, sleek rose gold options. Amex gives you a $200 Oura credit, so when I sold it, my new one was $170!
Be sure to check out all of my gift guides here – I'll be adding more next week! – and will also have a Black Friday hub page for easy Friday shopping.
Read, watch, listen:
Do 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!
I'm so ready for this.
I loved this podcast episode.
Fitness, health and good food:
This clean sweet potato casserole.
My FAVORITE Ina Garten cake; I just use gluten free crust.
Vegan green bean casserole to make ahead.
The best fresh cranberry sauce.
Thanks for stopping by the blog today! I wish you a great weekend and see you soon!
