The Style Files Blog Weekly Favorites

September 4, 2020

Lately, I’ve been craving a space and reason to share some of the products, podcasts, recipes, and more that I’ve been loving. So each week (or month?), I’ll be sharing my favorite things I’ve bought, listened to, used on myself/home, recipe and book and/or article to read. Hopefully this is a fun, inspiring little weekly round-up!


TO USE / Resistance Bands. I’ve used elastic ones in the past, but the quality of this fabric set is AMAZING. I’ve been incorporating resistance bands into my workouts and let me tell you- it is legit! So sore…

TO WATCH / Hallmark’s Flower Shop Mystery Series. I am a self-professed lover of Hallmark movies, and I was so surprised to learn about this Flower Shop Mystery Series! Back in college, I ran a student-led PR agency and I helped the author with the PR when she first wrote these books! They are such a fun, light read, and the setting takes place in my college town. I couldn’t believe that they were made into movies now– so cool!


TO TRY / Peloton’s Fit Family Brain Break workouts. The boys and I LOVE to do these quick 5 minute videos. They definitely get your blood pumping and Jess Sims (one of my favorite instructors) was a former educator and makes it so fun with listening games to hold their attention.

TO EAT / Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil. So easy, minimal clean up and all done on 1 tray for a delish dinner that is a bit outside of the regular recipe lineup. Followed up by homemade peanut butter cups for dessert, of course :-)

TO READ (OR LISTEN) / Full: Food, Jesus and the Battle for Satisfaction. After following Amanda’s journey, I listened to this book and found it very eye opening specifically in terms of my addiction to sugar. (Also ready to pre-order the new Skinnytaste meal prep cookbook as well as Emily Ley’s newest book!)

TO WEAR / Staying safe and healthy in the midst of COVID is obviously on top of everyone’s mind. Today, I’m pairing up with GetGoCare.com to giveaway a to go PPE kit. Perfect for a coworker, teacher or loved one that works outside of the home! Just comment who you would give it to if you won…then claim some additional bonus entries! Use the widget below to enter.

    I would give this to my friend Jill because she works at Walmart and cares for her mother at home, and I worry very much about her safety and well-being.

    • #Mondaymeditations I so grateful to be entrusted with these two boys. It is such a joy to watch them grow. I pray the Lord fills them with joy and gives them a determination to live for Him. The influences on kids these days are many, and it can be overwhelming to think of the lies and half-truths they hear (or will hear) on a daily basis. Though I can
    • I’m sure you can relate…for those of you working from home/quarantining, you can’t resist the gravitational pull of the kitchen for a snack, am I right?!

    • We enjoyed some gorgeous greenery at the domes today. It was like we were on a tropical island with all the lush vegetation... almost In awe of such beauty, especially when snow is stacked high and temps are so low all around us.
    • Muffin tin lunch for the win Always nice to mix things up, and this one never disappoints!
    • I am deeply grateful that our school has been able to be in person since the start of the school year last fall. A large part of that is due to the incredible staff and teachers like @carrie_dorst that pulls double duty not only as an amazing teacher day in and day out, but also as a disinfecting, social distancing, safety checking guru! We are so blessed to have people that care like you in our school, Carrie! Thank you for all you do! ♥️ Nominate a teacher to win a box of @sambucol products (teachers need all the immune
    • #ad No matter what your dietary preferences might be, give @planetoat a try! I started a few years ago when I ditched the coffee creamer and now opt for a non dairy option. Planet Oat now has unsweetened flavors (original and vanilla) with zero grams of sugar and just 45 calories per serving! The taste is great, creamy and works well straight up in a glass, in coffee as a creamer substitute or mixed in a smoothie or overnight oats. Lately, I' src='http://the-style-files.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-slider-widget/assets/image.png' class='GraphSidecar' style='opacity: 0;'>
