Hi friends! Happy Easter weekend and happy Passover to my celebrating friends. I hope you have a great weekend! We hung out by the pool – our pool was still too cold so it was nice to have a warm option! —Watching the University of Alberta game with friends (GO CATS!) and spending Easter with family. We’re having Easter brunch at my dad’s house, and then my mom’s side of the family is coming over for a barbecue for dinner.

Now, I’m hanging out with a red light, avoiding the laundry pile, and contemplating last-minute Easter shopping.
It’s time again for our weekly Friday favorites roundup! Here I’m sharing some of my favorite finds from this week and around the web. I always love hearing about your favorites too, so shout out your favorites in the comments section below.
4.3 Friday Favorites
Fashionable, beautiful and casual:
Ordered these sandals from Amazon and was pleasantly surprised! I won’t be posting pictures of my feet here lol, but they fit true to size, are super comfortable, and I can tell I’ll be wearing them regularly. I’ve been looking for a casual sandal to pair with skirts and dresses and these are perfect.
They’re actually very similar to these, but at a fraction of the price.
You also know you’re in a special moment in your life when you’re excited about your pillow. I’m using a flat pillow I bought during Lorna, which I love because I hate super fluffy pillows, but it’s completely flat. I fold it up and since I sleep on my side, I often wake up with a sore neck or shoulders. (I really want to sleep on my back because it’s better for my skin, but I can’t.)
I did a lot of research and found this. The important thing to me was that it was made from non-toxic materials and not too fluffy. This one is a little fluffy – you can even add more if you want as it has extra fluff – but I think it will settle down over time. I sleep well every night and it usually takes a while to get used to a new pillow. I might buy a copy for the pilot too!
Pictures from the Full Moon Meditation and Sound Bowl class I attended with friends this week. It was so relaxing and the 45 minutes flew by. I can’t wait to do it again!

I have fallen in love with cupping recently!

Fitness, Health and Food:
I’m thinking of doing an old fashioned fitness challenge here with a brand new follow up workout. Think two weeks of workouts (barre, heavy strength, flexibility, and core), plus FB group accountability and some prizes? The cost is very low, like $49. If you’d like to join, please comment “yes” below so I can gauge your interest. Thank you, friends!
Made these Honey Glazed Salmon Bowls earlier this week and we loved them.
