Good Morning!
Happy April! No pranks hereâjust the good stuff.
Weâre officially into spring, and I donât know about you, but my body is craving fresh foods, longer walks, and maybe a closet clean-out (well maybe, I have a garden plant đ ). If youâre feeling that seasonal shift too, todayâs newsletter is full of little nudges to help you lean into the reset.

Why Fiber Is the Real MVP
Gut health isnât just about probioticsâfiber is a huge part of the equation. It feeds your good gut bacteria, helps manage blood sugar, and keeps digestion on track. If your meals are looking a little beige lately, consider this your friendly reminder to toss in something leafy, crunchy, or seedy today. Your gut will thank you.

đ° Earthquake in Myanmar â A devastating earthquake has hit Myanmar, where rescue workers are racing to find survivors. Tragically, the military governmentâcurrently in the middle of a civil warâis continuing airstrikes instead of focusing on recovery efforts. The humanitarian crisis continues to worsen. And with USAID canceled, China is filling the Humanitarian vacuum
đ° Tariffs Are Not the Vibe â Trump is pushing hard on tariffs again, insisting theyâll âmake America great,â but the rest of the world isnât convinced. Tensions with Canada are heating up (especially after he continues to insult them đ), and the EU is already forging new trade deals that leave the U.S. out. Itâs not looking great.
đ° Iceberg Breaks Off Antarctic Shelf â An iceberg the size of Chicago has broken off an Antarctic ice shelf. Scientists are studying it closely and have already made some fascinating discoveries about how climate change is accelerating glacial movement.
đ° Immigration Raids Intensify â The Trump administration continues aggressive ICE raids, reportedly detaining immigrants with legal status and, in some cases, deporting individuals for exercising their right to free speechâraising serious constitutional concerns.
đ° FDA Recalls Popular Eyedrops â Check your medicine cabinet. Several over-the-counter eye drops have been recalled for contamination risks.

What Else!
đż April Is Stress Awareness Month
If life feels a little frenzied lately, this is your sign to slow down. Try a 5-minute breathwork session or journal before bed. Tiny habits = big shifts. Insight Timer is my go-to, but you might also love Calm, Headspace, or The Mindfulness App. Prefer a book? That works too!
đBe Tough & Carry Your Stuff
Lululemonâs Everywhere Belt Bag was the bag a few years ago, and honestly, I still love mine. Itâs my everyday go-toâeven when I toss it into a larger tote. This yearâs colors for the Everywhere belt bag are so good (Iâm eyeing Green Alouette and Pink Passion). Want a little more space? Try the larger 2L version or the sleek faux leather version. Need more room? They have great sleek backpacks or have a new parent bag for stylish mommas (and dads, too). Cute, functional, and funâjust how I like my accessories.

Something to Think About
âYou donât have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.â â Martin Luther King Jr.
You know that thing youâve been wanting to do? Do it. Thereâs no better time than now. Take that first stepâyouâll figure the rest out as you go.
Thatâs it for today, friend. Wishing you a fresh, happy start to the month. Go take that walk, try that salad, and rememberâyouâre doing great. đ¸
Until next time,
Sally
