Happy Friday! I took the day off to enjoy a Spring ski date with Bo. We spent the day skiing together in Verbier before our friends arrive this evening. I can’t believe we only have two ski weekends left this season! It seems like just yesterday it was December and the season was beginning!
Today was a true Spring ski day as the weather was in the high 40s and sunshine and blue sky surrounded us.
It’s time for this week’s dose of Friday Favorites.
Since Emily always bakes cakes to celebrate everyone else’s birthday, I felt it only appropriate to bake her dream cake this week. This peanut butter cup cake turned out perfectly!
The Lululemon Wild tank has quickly become my favorite workout tank. I’ve worn it to yoga twice and have loved the way it stays in place during the moves. For last week’s boot camp workout the bra held everything in place while the open back kept me cool.
Life is all about balance, so when we’re not enjoying the sinfully rich chocolate peanut butter cake we’re whipping up kale salads. We made two kale salads this week, both from Cookie+Kate. Last night’s Kale, Clementine and Feta salad was winter sunshine in a bowl. Bo loved her Asian Kale salad, which was filling and flavorful. Kale’s heartier texture and crunch has been a fun change from our usual salad base. We loved the dressings for each of these salads so much that we discussed making them again to keep in our refrigerator.
I discovered Bioderma eye makeup remover when I stayed with Charlie and since then I’ve been a huge fan. While this is a French cult beauty product, I’ve seen it on a number of other beauty blogs over the years and it seems to be available on Amazon and other US beauty sites. It is unscented, doesn’t sting your eyes, and removes my liquid eye liner and mascara in just a few swipes. Feel free to use it across your entire face, not just your eye area, before you wash your face.
Kygo and Natalie La Rose have been adding some extra energy to my workouts this week, compliments of Spotify! Add Firestone and Somebody to your playlists immediately if not sooner.
What are you loving this week?
A common misconception is that a lot of face washes remove make, when in fact they don’t! That’s a great addition to a skincare regimen. I’ve been loving Hozier. He is an incredible artist and we’ve been playing him at night while having “family time”, he cultivates a really relaxed feel! Hope you are well!
Loving that Lulu tank! It’s sold out of my size, so I’ll have to make a trip to the store this weekend to see if they have it. Thanks for sharing, it’s so cute!!
