Hi friends! Happy weekend to ya! I’m posting my Friday Faves roundup a little late this week because it’s been a wild one. I took Liv and one of her best friends to the Katseye concert in Phoenix,

(the girls had a BLAST)

and then my niece was dropped off for a sleepover while her parents enjoyed a much-needed date night. We loved having her here so much. Ok, everyone except Maisey. She was very stressed that someone else was getting more attention than her lol.

She slept like an angel in the pack n’ play in our room, and the girls had so much fun with her here. They already asked if it can become a weekly thing.

What do you have going on this weekend?

We got our Christmas tree last night, watched Home Alone and ate pizza,

(one day I’ll have a curated matchy tree… and it might break my heart)

and the rest of the weekend is filled with basketball games, Moulin Rouge, NCL meeting and Wicked: For Good (again! I can’t wait), and getting ready for the week ahead. I hope you have a lovely weekend!

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 to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

12.6 Friday Faves

Wellness faves with extended Cyber Monday deals:

– Air Doctor.

Hi friends! I’m SO excited to share this week’s episode with biological dentist Dr. Toni Engram, and this one is truly eye-opening. We dive deep into the powerful connection between oral health, gut health, inflammation, and the rest of the body—and how what’s happening in your mouth could be impacting your hormones, immune system, brain, and more.

Dr. Toni shares her personal journey with Crohn’s disease that completely changed her approach to dentistry and led her into the world of biological and functional dentistry. We talk about hidden dental infections, root canals, sealants, airway health, jaw development, cavitations, and what it really means to treat the root cause; not just the symptoms.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your dental work could be affecting your overall health, or you’re trying to take a more holistic approach to healing… this episode is a MUST-listen.

197: Is Your Dental Work Making You Sick? Biological Dentist Toni Engram Explains Everything

Here’s what we discuss:

• Dr. Toni’s personal healing journey with Crohn’s disease and how it reshaped her approach to dentistry
• The powerful connection between oral health, gut health, and systemic inflammation
• Why nutrition and prevention are the foundation of true oral health
• The real risks and considerations of root canals and informed consent
• Palate expanders, jaw growth, airway health, sleep, and child development
• Implants vs. bridges vs. doing nothing: what’s best for overall health
• Simple daily habits for better oral and full body health (including tongue scraping!)
• And so. much. MORE!

This episode will completely change how you think about dentistry, prevention, and the mouth-body connection. If you care about your hormones, immune system, sleep, energy, or long-term health; you NEED this episode!

Hi friends! Happy Friday and hope my US friends had a beautiful Thanksgiving!

It’s been a pretty great week over here. I took the kids and some friends to the trampoline park after their half day at school so they could jump their hearts out, tackled the holiday cooking (made this pie, this green bean casserole with homemade crunchy onions, and picked up a pumpkin loaf, apple pie, and gf gravy from Dedicated),

took the kids to Target (to “browse,” they said) and the Pilot returned from a long trip. The end of October through November has been crazy: he was gone, I left for RHS, we high-fived and he left, when he returned I went to LA, we high-fived again and he left, and now he’s back! WHEW. It was such a treat that he could be here for Thanksgiving!

(dress is here // boots are here)

We had the usual lunch/dinner at my Uncle’s house with all of my dad’s side of the fam.

Sharing some of my favorite gift ideas for fitness and wellness enthusaists, biohackers, and *scrunchy* friends (or even yourself!) this holiday season.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having an amazing week so far. It’s a quick week that ends with shopping and pie – we’ve got this!!

It’s been a busy one over here. Monday night was Liv’s confirmation, so we celebrated with dinner and crazy milkshakes afterwards. The Pilot was on a trip, but I’m excited that he’ll be here for Thanksgiving. What do you have planned? We’re going to my uncle’s as usual, and then heading to Trevor and Danielle’s for a bit.

For today’s post, I wanted to share a roundup of my favorite wellness, fitness, and biohacking gifts! This is a perfect gift for your *scrunchy* friends… or even yourself. Let’s be real; the best sales of the year happen this weekend, so it’s the perfect time to stock up on wellness essentials, especially if you have health-related goals as we head into the new year.

It’s also worth mentioning here that a lot of the things on this list are nice/fun to have, but not essential. The most important health tools are free, like sunshine, stress management, connection, movement, and solid nutrition.

Holiday Gift Guide for Wellness, Fitness, and Biohacking

Home and kitchen:

Air Doctor. Clean air makes such a huge difference, especially during this time of the year with allergies and colds floating around.

Nontoxic pots and pans. We love Caraway and OurPlace. Each year on Black Friday, I usually treat myself to a new OurPlace pot or pan. Their air fryer is so cute, too!

Water filter. Read more
