Happy Friday from Baton Rouge! This post was supposed to be coming to you from the beach, but unfortunately because of hurricane Sally, we had to cancel our trip. So instead, Michael and I drove to Baton Rouge for the weekend to stay at his parents house. It’s SEC kickoff weekend and LSU actually has a home game tomorrow. We’ll be watching from home, but it’s nice to be here and get a little bit of the “feel” of a game day during this weird season.

Weekly Workouts
This week’s workouts …
Still loving the Peloton app! Michael and I did a 30-minute strength training class on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Peloton offers a 30-day free trial of the app. After the free trial, the app membership is only $12.99/month.
A little more about the Peloton app … it offers a variety of recorded and live classes, including strength training, yoga, meditation, outdoor running, walking, running, stretching, cycling, and bootcamp classes – AND they just added barre classes last week! You don’t need the bike to sign up for the app. Highly recommend checking it out!
Today (Friday), we’re going to go on a long walk around the lakes on LSU’s campus. I haven’t walked the lakes in ages. In fact, I think the last time I was over that way, I was running them in the Baton Rouge Marathon with my sister a few+ years ago!

Weekend Plans
We’re in Baton Rouge all weekend. We’re planning on fresh boiled crabs for dinner tonight, grabbing coffee (tea for me!) at one of our favorite coffee spots, French Truck, tomorrow, and watching football most of the day! The weather is supposed to be gorgeous here all weekend long so I’m hoping to spend most of it outdoors!
My Favorite Things this Week
Nike Sweatshirt // I’ve been living in this sweatshirt! I’m tempted to grab another color, it’s so good! It’s super soft and cozy. It runs oversized. I have a size small. I could have gone with an x-small, but it’s a bit cropped – that’s why I went with a small. Love the oversized fit.
VOTE Tee // My friend Jess Keys collaborated with Alice & Wonder to create this fun VOTE tee. 10% of the proceeds from the tee will be donated to Vote Save America’s Every Last Vote fund to support on-the-ground efforts to mobilize Black, brown, indigenous, and other marginalized communities that are routinely victims of targeted voter disenfranchisement efforts.
Do you have your voting plan mapped out?! First, double check that you’re registered to vote. Once you’ve confirmed you’re good to go, Google where you’re polling stations are located and look to see if you’re able to early vote in-person. Mark the day you’re planning to vote (and time!) in your calendar. Block off enough time to account for lines at the polls. Get your plan together NOW so you’re not scrambling on Election Day.
Otherland Candle // Clean candles that smell amazing! Otherland sent over a few of their fall scents for me to try out – I love the Cardamom Milk! On top of being clean (no chemicals + cotton wick), their candles are beautiful too!
