WELLNESS — FIBER FOR LUNCH IS THE MOVE
Sara Haas, a registered dietician, says that although fiber is super important for your overall health…it’s super important to prioritize it in your lunch. Did you know only 5% of Americans meet their daily fiber intake percentage (which is 25g for women and 38g for men)? There are so many benefits of fiber such as preventing conditions like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. Her favorite meal is a roasted chickpea curry bowl that has 10g of fiber per serving.

BUISNESS — ACT+ACRE STEPS INTO HOME GOODS WITH FILTERED SHOWERHEAD 
Act+Acre is known as the skincare brand for your scalp and has been quite popular especially with their product being sold in Sephora. They’ve recently ventured into home goods by realeasing their showerhead, priced at $120. The co-founder of Act+Acre says they are looking at 100% growth this year and plan on growing their community by more in-person events.

FINANCE — GEN Z AND MILLENNIALS ARE STRUGGLING TO GATHER FUNDS
Despite earning more, these groups are on the struggle bus when allocating funds for investment due to the largest reasoning being high expenses (48% can’t cover more than 2 months’ worth). A CNBC and Generation Lab poll actually confirmed that 63% see the stock market as a wealth-building opportunity, yet 61% aren't saving for retirement monthly. A significant amount even live with family or housemates due to unaffordable housing costs.

BOISE, IDAHO

EAT: For a farm-to-fork experience, visit Fork. It’s got locally sourced and seasonal ingredients which create a variety of dishes from small plates to entrees. It’s got a cozy environment and you’ll truly feel as if you’re a part of their commitment to sustainability. For a more involved vibe, Bardenay restaurant and distillery is the move. It focuses on Pacific Northwest flavors and you’ll also be able to enjoy a selection of handcrafted cocktails that are made with the distillery’s own spirits!

If you’re a fan of deep melodic house mixed with electronic in an ambient way…this is the one for you. Almost 2 hours of vibes for you to listen to whether it be during a car ride or while you lay in bed. Brian Zajak (Fejká) began his music career at 17 & couldn’t decide the direction of his music production. He said that music was always split into two for him… “day/night, dream/dance, slow/fast” so he experiments with a mixture!
