The Friday 5

By

Hi, happy Friday and happy August!

It’s so crazy how fast this summer is flying by! This weekend, we’re off to Stowe Mountain Lodge for our annual family trip. The resort has invited us to visit the past two years, and we look forward to all year long. We seriously cannot wait to be there!

In today’s edition of The Friday 5, there’s a mix of everything from family entertainment to travel accessories and a supplement that helps me stay calm and carry on! 😉

Enjoy your weekend, friends!

1. Shark Duvet and Pillowcase Set – There’s also a dinosaur, astronaut, princess, mermaid, and unicorn version! How fun is this for a 5-year-old?! Quinn is getting a big boy bed soon, so I think these would be the perfect sheets for it!

2. You Verse Wild – This is such a fun show to watch with Quinn and Mal. It’s basically a “pick your own adventure,” so you interact with your TV and pick how the host will decide what to do next. It’s definitely a good time for the whole family!

3. Stasher Silicone Reusable Sandwich Baggies – I’m slowly, but surely becoming semi-obsessed about our family’s use of plastic. One easy thing to swap out has been plastic baggies (I mean, ugh, think about how wasteful they are!). Stasher bags are a bit of investment, but definitely worth it in my option. They’re easy to wash and are perfect to pack in kids’ lunches, take on road trips, in your carry-on, etc. The snack size one has been perfect for Quinn’s lunches!

Related: I’m also loving these bee’s wax wraps. It’s just like plastic wrap, but it’s reusable! You just rinse with soap and water!

4. Convertible Travel Pillow Infinity Scarf – Soft, warm, and stylish infinity scarf hides an inflatable pillow to make travel more comfortable. I love things that are both cute and functional, especially for travel. Plus, planes are always freezing, so the scarf is perfect to keep you warm without being bulky.

5. Natural Calm – I take this powered magnesium supplement pretty much everyday. I just add some to my water – I use the raspberry-lemon flavor, so it adds a little something! 🙂 Most of us are deficient in magnesium, and it’s important for quality sleep, stress management, muscle soreness, and more. I definitely notice a difference when I take it regularly versus when I don’t!

13 Proven Health Benefits of Turmeric

Years ago, I had a bad fall and injured my tailbone. It was one of the WORST pains I’d ever experienced. All the nerves surrounding my spine and lower back felt like they were on FIRE…Yoouuch!!! I was traveling for work at the time, and had to be pumped full of morphine just to get on the plane back home. I was bedridden for 3 weeks and miserable. I desperately tried every natural remedy I knew about to bring down the inflammation… and some things worked better than others. One of the most effective herbal supplements I took was a daily turmeric supplement . Thankfully, after several more weeks of turmeric supplements, acupuncture, and taking it easy, my tailbone had a full recovery. This was the first time I experienced for myself how powerful turmeric is. I’ve since learned that turmeric is even more amazing, and that it is literally PACKED with health benefits that can improve your skin, your heart, your mood, and even your waistline! To show you how remarkable this spice...
