Friday Faves

Hello and happy Friday!

What a gorgeous day today is about to be. I’ve been relishing doing my work from my deck in these fair 70°F days of prime fall weather because it’s all about to change tomorrow. Rain is coming all weekend long and then chillier weather ahead. So I am ready to cocoon my way through the weekend, do some baking, maybe see this movie, and celebrate my mom’s birthday with the family.

Last weekend we ate our way through delicious reubens and bratwurst at the Bavarian SnowWeisen event held at the ski resort where I learned to ski, Snowbasin in Ogden, UT. It really is a hidden gem, and if you’re into Oktoberfest celebrations, I totally recommend going.

Or, if you’re craving reubens for your own Oktoberfest, I have the best reuben sandwich recipe for you right here.

This week was a big week, too, when pre-orders for our 2020 Nourished Planner went on sale.

Thank you SO much to so many of you who’ve already purchased the planner. It is literally my daily bible. The planner keeps me organized and somewhat sane so I have more time in my day to do the things I really want to do, not just the things I have to do. Yep, this planner is my everything.

I’d love for you to check it out and see if it’s something that would add value to your life too. Learn more here or try it out when you download this FREE week of the Nourished Planner. Plus, get free shipping on every order until Tuesday, October 1.

But enough about me, let’s dig into this week’s Friday Faves. Yup.

I upgraded to the new iPhone 11 Pro in hopes the camera quality especially in low light would be improved, and I gotta say, so far it’s definitely an improvement over the iPhone 10.

Now I just have to wait for my favorite phone case to be in stock.
