That’s why I take NativePath Collagen every single day. It’s like nutritional backup for the structure under your skin.

Whether I’m walking the dogs, hopping on stage, doing Pilates or catching a flight, I want my joints to move like they used to. This one small thing helps keep me going strong.

🛒 Try it for yourself: 45% off, free shipping and a free frother included!

👟 Heel, yeah: Skechers just launched Find My Skecher, a $50 kids’ pair of sneakers with a hidden AirTag pocket in the heel. Now you can track your kid or their missing left shoe right in Apple’s Find My app. The AirTag slips under a cushy, breathable insole, totally out of sight. Such a great idea!
