Happy Friday {{first name | my friend}},
I seriously want to teleport to Italy where THIS farm, a “living laboratory,” grows crops without pesticides or tilling, using biomimicry, microorganisms and even electromagnetic frequencies for a resilient, regenerative farming solution! 👩🌾
⭐️⭐️⭐️: After a decade with Annmarie's serums, I'm stocking up on this limited bundle because it only happens a few times per year.

🌎 Planet Health
🗺️ ENDANGERED SPECIES SUPPORT: A new $200M initiative funded in part by Leonardo DiCaprio’s conservation group will provide recovery support for 100 critically endangered and extinct-in-the-wild species. Click HERE to see which species “on the brink” are receiving extra help.
🐬 DOLPHIN INNOVATION: Most of us already know dolphins are incredibly intelligent and innovative creatures. For the first time ever, new footage recorded shows a dolphin using a seashell to fish! Watch this short clip to see what “shelling” looks like, or click HERE to read more about the discovery.
☀️ SOLAR DESALINATION: There’s a new “zero-waste” technology that can turn ocean water into drinking water. Though scaling it up to municipal applications is a huge leap, this article says the tech “offers a scientifically credible path.” Find out MORE about how it works.

🧑⚕️ Human Health
🥤 SODA STUDY: Over 100k people were studied and “consuming at least one sugar-sweetened beverage per day is associated with more than twice the risk of developing gastric c*ncer compared to rarely consuming them.” Read more about this groundbreaking study HERE. “We’ve known very little about how diet might contribute to this [type of] c*ncer,” said the senior study author.
👟 STAIRS FOR LIFE: Wonder what you’re missing by choosing the elevator instead of climbing the stairs? Researchers discovered that taking the stairs was linked to a 39% lower risk of cardiovascular death, and just ~6 flights a day might have meaningful heart-health benefits!
🧠 TAKING OUT THE TRASH: New research reveals more about how exercise activates the “glymphatic system,” the brain’s “trash cleanup” system. Effects include better sleep, lower inflammation, and healthier blood vessels. Read more HERE about how physical activity can protect your brain.

Ten Years, Same Skin Care
For over ten years, I've only used Annmarie Skin Care on my face. I don't rotate brands, don't experiment constantly – I found what works and stayed with it. When you're building a lifestyle around planetary and personal health, it’s nice to find a company that truly resonates with your values.

These three serums – the Anti-Aging, Citrus Stem Cell, and Probiotic with Tremella – are a big part of my routine. They're formulated with ingredients that actually belong on your skin: wild-harvested botanicals, active concentrations you can feel working, no synthetic fragrance or petrol-based filler.
Here's the thing: I can only share THIS BUNDLE a few times a year. Annmarie's running a trial pack right now under 30 bucks – more than 60% lower than normal – with $0 shipping. That won't stick around, and honestly, you should stock up if you've been considering it or want the best.
You'll see the difference quickly. These are the products I reach for every single morning and evening.
Grab the trial pack here while it's available.

““To make a prairie, it takes a clover and one bee, One clover, and a bee, And revery. The revery alone will do, If bees are few.”

Trivia Answer:
What do you call animals that are most active at dawn and dusk?
Answer: Crepuscular. Many creatures use these twilight hours to avoid midday heat and reduce predator risk.
