Hi friends! Happy Friday and happy Wicked day!! Are you going? Did you already go?? The girls and I are going the second they get out of school and I can’t.even.wait. (I’m a little bit more excited than they are, but they’re good sports and they know they get movie lunch and dessert out of the deal.)
In other news, P went back to school today. I’ll share more in an upcoming post (and will probably blab all about it over on Substack in the meantime), but it’s the end of a homeschool era. It was never meant to be a permanent thing unless it needed to be, and she was ready to go back to her friends and teachers. I’m happy for her, cautiously optimistic, and kind of a secret mess emotionally. I know I’ll be crying on and off most of the morning with complex emotions, and will probably cry more at Wicked so there ya go.
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.

My top picks:
Dr. Cabral 7-Day Detox
My go-to quarterly reset. It can help lower toxic load, improve digestion, boost energy, and reduce inflammation. For anyone who’s feeling “puffy” or sluggish, this is always step one. I’m already looking forward to our community detox in January!
Stress, Mood & Metabolism Lab Test
One of my favorite functional tests because it gives so much insight into hormones, thyroid, cortisol, and metabolism in one panel. This is the test I recommend for my perimenopause clients, and those who are having trouble sleeping, PMS, low mood/energy, weight loss resistance, and fatigue.
Minerals & Metals HTMA Test
The best snapshot of your mineral status, stress, metabolism, and toxic metal exposure. This is amazing for anyone dealing with fatigue, hair shedding, weight plateaus, or anxiety.
Daily Nutritional Support
My everyday multivitamin + protein powder + detox support in one. Café Latte is delicious. I have DNS every.single.day.
I own a lot of the products they create and they’re all staples in my routine. If I had to narrow it down to my top picks, it would be these:
Sauna Blanket
Still one of my top wellness purchases of all time. It can increase circulation, support detox pathways, help calm the nervous system, and gives you that post-session “I just did a workout and a meditation” feeling. I use it at least once a week.
PEMF Go Mat
My daily grounding tool. This can help calm the stress response, improve deep sleep, and balance the nervous system. Perfect for reading, meditating, or using at your desk.
Red Light Face Mask or Neck Enhancer
Great for collagen, skin texture, and can reduce inflammation. I love pairing red light with castor oil packs for the ultimate habit stack.
Huge Rails sale! I’ve linked up all of my favorites here.
Old Navy also has an early 50% off sale. I love all of the holiday outfits. This is the skirt I wore for our family photos.
Also, if you have an Amex Platinum, now is the time to get a new Oura ring. My Oura ring was OLD and thick, and I’d been wanting to upgrade to one of the new, sleek, rose gold options. With Amex, you get a $200 Oura credit, so with the sale, my new one was $170!
Make sure to check out all of my gift guides here – I’ll be adding more next week! – and will also have a Black Friday hub page for easy shopping on Friday.
Read, watch, listen:
Are you watching Dancing with the Stars? I was shocked that Whitney went home before the finale, but we’re all over here cheering for Robert. I’m excited to see what happens!
Fitness, health, and good eats:
This clean eating sweet potato casserole.
My FAVE Ina Garten pie; I just use gluten-free crust.
Make-ahead vegan green bean casserole.
The best fresh cranberry sauce.
Thank you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have an amazing weekend and I’ll see ya soon!
xoxo
Gina
