Happy Friday, everyone!
How has your week been? A nasty cold took me down at the beginning of the week, and I've slowly been recovering through lots of tea, orange juice, and time in bed. I finally got out to a yoga class last night and a boxing class this morning, both of which were a bit tough to get through (sniffling is not fun while you're alternating burpees and jab-cross-hooks!) but I felt great once I was done. After another yoga class this morning — trying to work in a bunch of fitness things before school starts up again for me! — I'm feeling ready to take on the weekend.
With Krystal traveling and my own lazy, bedridden state, I seem to have spent a lot more time than normal on the internet this week. So, in the spirit of self-care, I've decided to bring you some of the best things I've read/stumbled upon/tried at home/bought lately.
Also, friendly reminder, if you haven't already, make sure to enter Krystal's $1000 giveaway!
Relax with a good cup of coffee and browse our favorite links from the past week...
[prodr brand="TONE IT UP" product="FITNESS SOCKS" description= "Do you have a secret hatred for ankle socks? The things are necessary for any ankle-boot loving fashionista, but they either 1. get lost immediately or 2. never stay put and provide no comfort. I bought these last week and am already headed back to buy another pair. They are cushiony, have a gripped heel, and they literally say "boss babe" on them. I'm in love." link="LINK URL"][/prodr]
[prodl brand="AVALON ORGANICS" product="VITAMIN C RENEWAL CREAM" description="I first spotted this moistruizer in my mom's beauty cabinet — she loves organic and clean skincare products so I knew this had to be a good one. I finally picked it up for myself and I love it. It's deeply moisturizing, and vitamin C gives dull winter skin a perfect luminous boost. Also, it's under $15!" link="LINK URL"] [/prodl]
- A thought-provoking op-ed in the Times about the sexual assault accusation against Aziz Ansari
- With all the cold weather in NYC and Reno, we've been dreaming of a summer filled with pinks, yellows, and blues
- My favorite Whole 30 recipe so far (more on that later!)
- I just ordered the new Glossier product that promises perfect skin in a matter of weeks — are you a fan of the social beauty brand?
- The coolest pair of jeans to transition to spring (hopefully soon!)
- I just bought this set from Outdoor Voices and can confirm it really is as comfy as it looks
- Cider-braised pork shoulder and butternut squash. 'Nuff said. (Just signed up for an in-print subscription for Bon Appetit — you should too! The photos are insanely gorgeous and the stories are lovely)
- Can we just agree this is the cutest dessert ever?! (Hint: it's filled with egg custard!)
- Lastly, this is definitely not from the past week, but if you need a smile, watch this quick clip of Elvis duetting with Frank Sinatra back in 1960. It's guaranteed to make you happy 🙂
That's all for me! Is there anything you've been loving from the interwebs lately? Let us know in the comments!
Have a great weekend, everyone.
I heard of the Glossier products too. Please review and let us know. 👍🏼💗👍🏼

A more thoughtful perspective on Aziz Ansari, the man who wrote a whole book about dating and now says he can’t figure out enthusiastic consent. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/17/opinion/aziz-ansari-metoo-sex.html
