BEAUTY: MICRONEEDLING CRAZE IS HERE TO STAY
RF microneedling combines tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to penetrate skin and trigger enhanced collagen production for firmer, smoother results. This treatment uses microneedles to create micro-injuries, with RF energy then heating the dermal layers to stimulate more collagen than microneedling alone. While traditional microneedling requires around six sessions, the combined microneedling and RF typically needs just three treatments spaced several weeks apart. RF microneedling can address wrinkles, laxity, uneven tone and texture, acne scars, and even stretch marks by prompting the skin's natural rejuvenation process.

TRAVEL: BETTER TRAINS ARE COMING
Brightline West is working on the first fully private high-speed rail project, a 218-mile electric train route between Las Vegas and Southern California. Amtrak is also planning upgrades and new services like the Borealis line linking Chicago and Minneapolis to increase riders by 2040. Amtrak's new Airo trains will offer updated modern amenities as well. While Amtrak takes charge of a Dallas-Houston high-speed line, California's high-speed rail project connecting Sacramento and San Diego has faced substantial delays.

FASHION: UNDER ARMOUR’S NEW SPANDEX-REPLACING MATERIAL
Under Armour has a new innovative material called Neolast that they spent 7 years developing & designing. It’s similar to a spandex (so designed to stretch) but doesn’t hold onto sweat the way it does. The first Neolast products (shirts in the Vanish activewear line) launched last week & are priced at $40. Under Armour plans to phase out 75% of its spandex products by 2030 & replace them with newer ones designed with Neolast.

"Perfect Day" is a pop song that captures the simple joys of everyday life. It's an ode to appreciating the present moment and finding happiness in the modest yet meaningful moments that make up our daily lives. With its carefree, feel-good vibe, "Perfect Day" serves as a reminder to slow down, take a breath, and savor the beauty in the ordinary.

ON YOUR REALITY: Our thoughts become our words, our words become our beliefs, our beliefs become our actions, our actions become our habits, and our habits become our realities. - Jen Sincero

Your reality is truly what you make of it. Everything you consume in every which manner (edible, audible, visual, etc.) will shape your life.

AMSTERDAM

EAT: Start the day with brunch at Greenwoods. For fine dining, you’ll want to make a reservation at The Duchess. Both the ambience and the food are equally amazing. Head to De Kas for the freshest produce being served inside a greenhouse.

STAY: For a luxurious stay, consider the Waldorf Astoria. This hotel is located right on the Herengracht Canal and also features a michelan-starred restaurant. Another option is hotel De L’Europe known as the original Amsterdam luxury. Airbnb’s like this are also popular in Amsterdam.

DO: Visiting the Anne Frank House is a must. The Rijsmuseum is also one to add to your itinerary as it’s the national museum of the Netherlands. During the mid-day, you’ll want to book a canal cruise or stroll through the Vondelpark.
