🍝 Extra Sauce 🍝 033: Wrapping Up August (Not Your Average Week!)

Can you believe this is the last Friday of August? Time is flying by! Cheers to the weekend and for a great month - let’s finish it out strong. Here’s what we’ve got for the end of the week:

• Free menstrual products for 95,000 students, the rescue of 8 people after a long 14 hours, and a beautiful celebration of 66 years of marriage that you won’t believe

• Our expert’s wellness product picks of the week

• A note from Minaa encouraging reflective journaling

• Danny talks with Love is Blind contestant Nick Thompson about finding self-love and how he’s making his mental health a priority

Here we go!

• Free Period Products FTW! Kudos to Taiwan’s Ministry of Education. Starting August 1st, 2023, they’re rolling out free period products in every educational institution. Guess how many students stand to gain? A cool 95,000. It's not just about products, it’s about promoting gender equality. Other countries, the bar's been set. Time to step up!

• The Great Pakistani Cable Car Rescue! Picture this: 8 folks (6 of them kiddos) dangling over 1,000 feet above craggy terrain in Northwest Pakistan. But after 14 tension-filled hours, some smart locals, zip lines, helicopters, and a DIY pulley system, everyone’s safely on the ground. Talk about community spirit!

• Mountain-Climbing Lovebirds: Happy 66th, to our champs aged 88 & 85. Scaling Mt. Washington on their anniversary? Relationship. Goals. Level. 1000.

Ready for our expert’s favorite picks this week?

• Home cycling's never looked this good: Check out this bike.

• A gym bag that's probably more stylish than your last date night outfit 🤭

• A water enhancer that’s not just tasty, but effective.
