Friday Favorites {01.14.22}

Hip hip hooray, it’s Friday, and I’m partnering with Nordstrom and ShopStyle to wrap up my week! As you know, I always love shopping at Nordstrom because not only do they have everything my family needs from beauty to shoes to home, clothes, bath and more, but they have impeccable service, free shipping, free returns and curbside pick up (all so handy for the busy lady!)…and the Nordy Club! You can catch all of their services (including alterations, gift wrapping, style help and more HERE!).

I don’t know about you, but I’m very much looking forward to my weekend.  We have a lot of downtime and sunny skies ahead 🙂 .

Grab some coffee, turn on Disney Peaceful Piano on Pandora, and cozy up for today’s post!

As always, I’m linking up with my friends Andrea and Erika .

Happy weekend! xx

‘Tis the season to get motivated to workout!

After this week’s Grab Bag Q&A and yesterday’s Day in the Life, I would say the most trending topic in my DMs is “tell us about your workout routine”. I love talking fitness year around, but I know that it’s super near and dear to many of your hearts right now since it’s January.  I’m going to tackle as many exercise questions/posts/topics as possible in 2022, but I wanted to share a reminder for those of you interested in these types of questions…

 

…that I’ve already done a SHAY’S GUIDE TO RUNNING post you need to check out!  I’m guessing most of your questions will be answered there and hopefully, I can encourage a few of you to grab your sneakers and hit the road.

I know that when I have the time, hitting the road is my FAVORITE way to exercise!  Check out THIS POST for more details on my running routine!

Now, if you want to check out some cute (yet very practical!!) running/exercise clothes for your New Year, Nordstrom has that for you in Fave #2…

Hi, my name is Shay, and I wear workout clothes every single day.  Give me a great tank (I love this one so much that I have it in three colors!) and comfy leggings, and I’m one happy girl!

Same tank but with these great Zella leggings, different month 🙂 .

Speaking of those leggings…

…they’re on sale today as is this great red tank (available in other colors!).

This tank is so soft, and I love the pockets in the leggings!

When the weather is cooler, I top it with…

…a great tee too!  This tee you’ve seen me talk about many, many times before because I’ve had it now for two years!  It is without a doubt, my favorite long-sleeve workout tee.  I’ve washed and dried it a million times, and it only gets better with each wash.  It’s currently 20% off today too!  It runs TTS!

I don’t just wear my athleisure wear to workout.  Nope.  I wear it to early morning sports tournaments too…

…same great leggings for the perfect Saturday basketball game!  They’re currently 20% off right now too!

Me oh my oh, I love my Nikes.  You’ll read in MY RUNNING GUIDE that I’m not too dedicated to a certain brand of running shoes, but “running around” doing life with my family?  I love these sneakers for that!

I bought these last spring and then loved them so much that I bought…

…them in a second color this fall!  They fit TTS and are great for errand running and life living 🙂 .  They come in 13 color choices and basically, I want them all!  Ha!

Those same Zella leggings show up quite a bit in my day to day routine…

…I wore them here with a cozy hoodie (also on sale!) after yoga the other day too!  Slippers optional 🙂 .

Right now, Zella is having a HUGE sale at Nordstrom too!  Click HERE to check out all the savings on your favorite athleticwear!  Basically, Nordstrom is helping us all get active right now by discounting so many their great athleisurewear pieces!

If you’re just looking for great cold weather apparel at Nordstrom right now, I have that for you too!

From coats to sweaters, slippers, boots and more, I rounded up a list of my faves for both men and women!

#1: Wander Sun Hoodie • The North Face
#2: Quilted Neoprene Hooded Puffer Coat • Bernardo
#3: Faux Shearling Lined Hooded Corduroy Shirt Jacket • Levi’s
#4: Oversized Puffer Jacket • BP
#5: Dream Cable Crewneck Sweater • Free People
#6: Phoebe Wrap Cardigan • UGG
#7: Quilted Hooded Jacket • Blank NYC
#8: Quilted Bomber Jacket • Zella
#9: Puffer Jacket • Zella
#10: CozyChicTM Cheetah Spot Throw Blanket • Barefoot Dreams
#11: Men’s Shop Regular Fit Cashmere Quarter Zip Pullover • Nordstrom
#12: Ascot Slipper • UGG
#13: Mimmo Water Resistant Boot • Caslon
#14: Classic II Genuine Shearling Lined Short Boot • UGG
#15: Madson II Moc Toe Waterproof Boot • Sorel

You know how much I love my Zella jacket!  It comes in other great colors too!

And bonus, my black jacket (love it!) is on sale today too!  It also comes in other colors.

So, over the holidays, I was reading one of those French living books I love so much (you know how much I LOVE those books!), and she specifically called out this product here and said it was sure to be found in every French girl’s bathroom…

…well, there are no words I love more than “French girls use this every day”, so I immediately added to cart and girls, I love it!!!  First of all, look how much is left in the bottle after me using it TWICE daily for over two weeks!  I have been applying two pumps to one cotton ball every morning before my makeup as a way of cleansing my face without striping it.  You just wipe it over your face and then proceed with your moisturizers and makeup.  Don’t forget, this primer…

…HERE still reigns supreme for me!).  I have also been applying the same amount each night AFTER I cleanse my skin and remove my makeup.  She said to remove your makeup but then also do this as a finishing touch to make sure you really get your face clean before adding your nighttime moisturizers.  I. Love. It!  This micellar water smells nice (but it’s a mild scent), it’s cleansing and it doesn’t dry out my skin.  It’s not a toner, it’s a water.  Love it.

Finally for your Friday…

 

 

…if you are in the mood for a little citrus this weekend, look no further than HERE!  From savory to sweet, entrees to desserts, breads and more, I have 20 Winter Citrus Recipes sure to hit the spot!  You can find them all HERE!

Happy Friday, friends!!  I hope you all have the best weekend!! xx
