🛀 Cleaner showers, 50M trees, 2-min toast

Happy Monday my friend,

This week is about how inspiration meets daily practice. Maathai’s tree-planting movement, a refreshing toast you can make in minutes, and a coconut oil primer. Plus, healthy water extends beyond your drinking glass… I’m excited about AquaTru’s new shower filter to cut what we breathe and absorb in hot showers. Simple steps that add up.

🌎 BE THE CHANGE
The first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, Wangari Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement and helped plant over 50M trees in Kenya. Her work empowered rural women, restored ecosystems, and showed how reforestation can be an act of justice.

🥒 NUTRITIOUS RECIPES
Make Avocado Cucumber Toast. Toast a slice of whole-grain bread (or homemade sourdough if that’s your thing) and spread mashed avocado on top. Add thin cucumber slices and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. It's a light, nutritious snack full of healthy fats and fiber, perfect for a quick breakfast or midday boost!

🥥 SUPERFOOD SPOTLIGHT
Coconut Oil is a versatile superfood. It’s great for cooking, skin care, and even hair treatment. Packed with healthy fats, coconut oil supports brain function and promotes healthy digestion. Use it in smoothies or for cooking to add a rich, tropical flavor. Check out more coconut oil recipes.

🚿Clean Water Shouldn’t Stop At The Kitchen Sink

I’ve used AquaTru reverse osmosis in my own home for years, and I’ve talked friends and family into it too. What I’m excited about right now is their new shower filter. We tend to focus on what we drink, but showers and baths matter just as much. Hot water can release chlorine and chloramine into the air, along with disinfection byproducts like trihalomethanes (think chloroform). Those can become VOCs we breathe, and they can contact our skin when pores are open.

The goal is simple: get clean without adding more to detox. A good shower filter helps reduce that chemical load so your bathroom feels like a true reset.

If you’ve been meaning to improve your water at home, AquaTru has their best pricing of the year live right now on both RO units and the new shower filter. Choose what you’ll actually use daily, and feel the difference where it counts.

🎨 CREATIVE IDEAS
Try a DIY Vision Jar! Write down your goals, dreams, and affirmations on small pieces of paper, then place them in a jar. Each day, pull one out to focus on. This is a fun, visual way to keep track of your progress and stay inspired.

💪 PUSH YOURSELF
Challenge yourself with interval training. Short bursts of high-intensity exercise followed by brief rest periods can improve endurance and burn fat. Try alternating between sprinting (use common sense if you’re not ready) and walking or jumping jacks and squats for an efficient full-body workout.
