Sharing a roundup of Easter basket ideas for teens and tweens!

Hi friends! I hope that you’re having a wonderful morning! I have a couple of appointments today and looking forward to tacos and pool time later tonight. We officially skipped spring here in Tucson and headed straight to summer. While I don’t *love* that I need to start waking up earlier to walk the dogs, I’m kind of loving the fact that pool season is here early.

Spring is always chaos – I feel like it’s pure insanity until Maycember and the end of school- and I can’t believe that March is almost over!!! Easter is totally sneaking up on us, so I figured I’d share a roundup of Easter basket ideas for teens and tweens if you’re planning and getting things ready this week like yours truly.

Easter basket ideas for teens and tweens

TBH I don’t go wild for Easter. I see some elaborate basket ideas and while I applaud and cheer for it, it’s not for me lol. I keep things pretty simple: usually some summer-y things like a pair of cute sandals, a swimsuit or two, candy, and some fun stuff mixed in. I’m including tons of ideas below but please know our children are not getting all of these things!

Here’s a previous Easter basket (this one is from a couple of years ago! Also it was wild to read this 2020 Easter recap.)

While they’ve definitely moved up from LOL dolls lol, the basic framework is the same.

Here are some of the things that would be cute for this year.

Swimsuits and sandals:

Maaji is my go-to brand for P. They make the best rash guard swimsuits and they last all summer. I usually get her one or two more expensive suits and the rest from Target.

Liv loves Target and Amazon swimsuits.

Rashguards.

Sharing the details on Dr. Cabral’s birthday sale and my favorite products! If you’ve been considering functional lab testing, I have something for you here, too. Check out the details below!

If you’ve been thinking about running functional labs or restocking some of your wellness staples, this is one of the best times of the year to do it.

EquiLife is celebrating Dr. Cabral’s birthday with a major sale, and it includes some of the exact tools I use personally and with clients:

March 23 – 29

40% off The Big 5 Labs + Vita-Min Tox Test

33% off select supplements

Functional lab testing can feel a little overwhelming at first, so I wanted to offer something special for ya:

If you purchase ANY lab during the sale, I’ll personally review your results with you at no cost. No coaching fee; just a chance for us to walk through everything together and create a clear, simple plan.

Testing is so powerful, but it helps to have an expert guide you through the results and figure out an action plan based on your unique deficiencies and toxicities. If you purchase any lab this week, please lmk gina@fitnessista.com and I’ll make sure the results are tracked to me so we can go through them together.

When everything looks “normal”… but you still don’t feel like yourself

One of the most common things I hear from clients is that they’ve been told everything looks fine, but they still feel off. Low energy, stubborn weight, hormone symptoms, and gut issues are all signs from the body that there’s an imbalance.

This is where functional testing can make such a difference.

Instead of asking, “Are you sick or not?” it looks at how your body is actually functioning day to day. It helps us identify imbalances in areas like nutrient status, stress response, detox pathways, and gut health; often long before they show up on conventional labs.

Rather than guessing and trying random supplements, we can get super specific.

The Big 5 Labs

If you’re ready to take a comprehensive look at your health, The Big 5 is the most complete option.

It combines five functional tests to give a detailed picture of what’s happening behind the scenes. I often describe it as a roadmap; it shows us not just what’s off, but WHY.

This is the option I typically recommend for clients who are dealing with ongoing symptoms or who feel like t

Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? I hope you had a lovely one! We escaped for some beach time, Kleiger fam time and cooler weather in San Diego – it was perfect. The week ended with a little golf tournament fun with friends, an afternoon at the pool,

and watching the Wildcats win!

I’d love to hear what you have going on!

It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves roundup. I always love hearing about your faves from the week and around the web, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments section below.

San Diego!! We hopped on a non-rev flight and had two FULL days in one of our favorite places. We landed by 7am (WHEW) and were in the Better Buzz drive thru by 8:15. Not.too.shabby.

We also got gluten-free donuts and pastries from Phatties and they were everything. A little on the dense side (which I honestly love) and so fresh and sweet. We’ll definitely be back!

We knew we’d have a while until our hotel room was ready, so we went to Mission beach. The weather was a dream.

P loved playing catch with us and running in the waves, and Liv and I also spent lots of time relaxing on the beach blanket. After our 3:45 wakeup, I may or may not have fallen asleep on the beach and got a liiiittle sunburned.

Hi friends!

I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today I’m talking about one of my all-time favorite topics: sleep!

This is a solo episode where I’m walking you through the exact checklist I use with my own clients when we’re troubleshooting sleep. Because here’s the thing: when we fix sleep, so much else starts to fall into place. Digestion, hormones, mood, energy, body composition; it all connects back to how well you’re resting at night.

Whether you’re a new mom running on fumes, someone who wakes up at 1am and can’t fall back asleep, or just someone who never feels truly rested, this episode is for you.
