I have been enjoying oranges lately! I've noticed eating more fruits and veggies helps me to cut down on other sugary or processed foods.

I was surprised by a lot of things when learning about seaweed! I was really impressed with learning the ease of farming seaweed and how it's much less susceptible to mass devastation or interruption by weather events. So cool! I would be interested in getting more products made out of seaweed and trying new foods with it, as well. -

Alaina Drouin 4/10/2025 12:23 PMPollinators like bees and mosquitoes do in fact provide us with the majority of produce we eat daily. I can ensure their safety by supporting my local beekeepers. lf I ever have an infestation; I will call the beekeepers to move them instead of an extermination company. Fun fact, ~70% of the bees in America died in the last 8 months. If this continues for the next few years, it will fundamentally change how people in the U.S. consume food.

Just starting out, it can be easy to have your mind wander during meditation, but I've found the more often you practice, the longer it will take for your mind to wander. Such a helpful, and somewhat simple practice. I've noticed it helps me throughout the day! -
