🍝 Extra Sauce 🍝 019: New 1AND1 Picks, Good News & Dr. Kristen Casey's Mental Health Advice

It’s a wrap for the week! As you head into the weekend, take some of these gems with you. Let’s get extra saucy 🍝 

• News near and far that will add some positivity to your day

• New products of the week for you to try

• A note from Minaa about perfectionism

• A new Off the Cuff Podcast with guest Dr.Kristen Casey on how to find solutions that will benefit your mental health

• Austrailian James Harrison, known as the “Man With the Golden Arm,” donated blood nearly every week for 60 years totaling over 1,000 donations. Harrison’s blood has unique, disease-fighting antibodies that have been used to develop an injection called Anti-D, which helps fight against rhesus disease. He’s a hero and has helped save the lives of more than 2.4 million Australian babies, according to the Australian Red Cross! 🩸 💜 

• Adhara Pérez Sánchez finished elementary school at five, and high school at six. She was diagnosed with autism, and Asperger's when she was young. Her IQ is 162 now—higher than both Einstein and Hawkings, which are estimated to be around 160. Now, at 11, Adhara is getting her Master's. We can’t wait to see where this young girl goes in life! 👏 

• Melanie Shaha permanently lost her hair 4 years ago after she underwent grueling radiation to treat a benign brain tumor that reappeared again and again. Her son Matt Shaha grew out his hair and discovered a small business that builds custom wigs to create a wig from his hair. The mother is so grateful for her loving son, who she said has sacrificed so much for her. He wouldn't have it any other way. We love seeing this bond between this mom and son ❤️ ✨ 

We’re back at it again with some new picks for you to choose from this week. We’ve got some sustainable, eco-friendly activewear products to add to your closet, sunscreen to keep your skin safe during the summer heat, and the best sleep aid to ensure proper recovery.
