Taking a Moment Today to Honor Women in STEM
Today marks the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, an opportunity to reflect on the valuable contributions of women to the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It’s a day to appreciate the innovative work women have done, continue to do, and will do in shaping our future.
While much has been accomplished, today reminds us of the ongoing importance of supporting diverse perspectives in these fields. It’s not just about recognizing achievements; it’s about inspiring future generations to engage with science in meaningful ways, regardless of gender.
Take a moment today to consider the incredible progress women have made in scientific fields and think about how you can support this continued growth. Whether through education, exploration, or simply appreciating the work, today is an ideal time to acknowledge how far we’ve come and how much more is possible.


The Power of Going After What You Want
We all have dreams—those deep desires we've held onto since childhood. Yet, it's often hard to take the leap and make them a reality. Whether it’s changing careers, moving to a new city, or starting a creative venture, the fear of leaving what’s familiar can hold us back. But the truth is, pursuing our dreams might be more attainable than we think.
To move toward your dreams, start with a plan. Break your goal down into manageable steps, and create a timeline for yourself. Whether it's researching your options or organizing your finances, a clear path makes the transition easier and less daunting.
Next, don’t let fear control you. It's natural to feel afraid, but fear shouldn’t stop you from taking that first step. Remember, regret can be far worse than fear. Moving forward, no matter how small the steps, is better than staying stagnant.
Finally, be optimistic. Keep the reasons you want to pursue your dream front and center. Surround yourself with support, and remind yourself daily why this is worth it. The journey may be difficult, but with a mindset that embraces possibility, you’ll discover just how capable you truly are. Your dream might be closer than you think.

You’re exhausted… but as soon as your head hits the pillow, your brain won’t turn off.

The Right Way to Use Contrast Therapy
Contrast therapy—alternating between hot and cold—is gaining popularity for its potential recovery benefits. It’s said to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and help muscles recover faster.
To practice it effectively, start with 10-15 minutes in a sauna or heat to open blood vessels, followed by 2-3 minutes in an ice bath to reduce swelling. This alternating cycle promotes better circulation and muscle flexibility.
Timing is key. Avoid cold plunges right after a workout, as they can interfere with muscle growth. Wait a few hours for the best results, especially after strength training.
Keep safety in mind: Limit sauna time to 20 minutes and ice bath time to 5 minutes. By following these guidelines, you can enhance your recovery and overall wellness with contrast therapy.


The Daily Immune Ritual I Trust All Winter Long
Winter is when I’m most intentional about supporting my immune system, and Pique’s Daily Immune has become one of my non-negotiables. It’s the kind of daily ritual that feels supportive, not overwhelming and one I actually look forward to.
What sets Daily Immune apart is its liposomal vitamin C, which helps deliver nutrients more effectively to your bloodstream and immune cells, where they can truly do their job. I notice the difference in how steady and resilient I feel, especially during colder months when my body needs extra support. The addition of elderberry gives it that extra layer of seasonal immune defense I trust.
Daily Immune supports my everyday immunity, collagen production, skin resilience, and antioxidant protection all in one simple step. I love that it fits seamlessly into my routine and tastes bright and refreshing.
Winter wellness doesn’t need to be extreme to be effective. For me, Daily Immune is an easy, consistent way to feel supported, strong, and cared for all season long
