📼 Need a weekend movie rec? Hit up MovieWiser.com. Type in the mood you’re going for and it’ll spit out a list of movies that fit the bill. I typed in “festive comedy for the family.” Options included “Elf,” “Home Alone,” “A Christmas Story,” “Polar Express” and “Jingle All the Way.” Nailed it.
Because we all want to hear, ‘Wow, you look great’
I do my best to eat enough protein, get in my veggies and drink lots of water. I’m all about high-quality supplements, too, for things that are hard to get through good habits alone. I’ve been taking collagen for years, and it’s scientifically proven to improve not just how you look but also how you feel.
Collagen supports healthy skin, bones, cartilage and joints. Starting in our thirties, it naturally declines and can lead to fine lines, joint stiffness and weaker nails. A quality collagen supplement can counteract that. I take it to strengthen my hair, reduce wrinkles and support bone density.
Why I trust NativePath collagen
It’s a high-quality, fast-absorbing and clean collagen supplement. It contains just one ingredient, free from GMOs, fillers, gluten, dairy, sugar and artificial additives.
Plus, it’s easy to mix into whatever you want — coffee, smoothie, oatmeal, juice or even just water. No clumps or weird aftertaste.
Science-backed benefits of collagen supplements

- Cartilage regrowth: Protect and rejuvenate your joints.
- Wrinkle reduction: Restore skin elasticity for a smoother complexion.
- Stronger nails and hair: Promote thicker hair and more resilient nails.

On Spotify, look for download (down arrow icon) next to one of your playlists. FYI, only Premium subscribers can download music, and you can’t grab individual songs. On Apple Music, click the + (plus icon on the right) to add to your library, then hit download (down arrow) to listen offline.
