Your presence helps make this space stronger and more inspiring for everyone. Who will be in the Top 3 next week? Go for it — your name could be next! 🌱✨ Yesterday, I made some flavored beverages. I do that sometimes when I don't want to drink plain water. I cut up some cucumbers and put them in a jar of water. In another jar, I add a couple of strawberries and half a banana and water. I also made water and put mint leaves in it. Do you ever flavor your water? I meant to take pics, but forgot and drank it. 😀 Mark your calendars for Monday - Coffee with me. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!!

I wrote two songs, my first time ever! 🎶 I’m trying to decide which one would make the best outro for my YouTube channel. Which one do you like best? Video on the left, video on the right, or neither one? I also made homemade plant-based milk yesterday, almond and soy. 🌱🥛 Do you make your own plant-based milk? It’s actually simple: 1 cup raw almonds + 3 cups water Place in a high-speed blender, Vitamix, Blendtec or Nut machine Blend, strain through a nut milk bag or cheesecloth, and sweeten with dates, or leave it unsweetened. Save the pulp to use in other recipes such as cookies, cake, and plant-based raw nut balls. Shake and drink. Simple ingredients. Fresh taste. Plant-powered goodness. 💚I
