- Food for your face
An addiction is any repeated behavior that does not serve you.
GM 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the 2-min health email that's better than a small juicy peach. Let's go.
🥒 Food for your face. Not all things are created equal. And most of the time, you have to pay up for the best. When it comes to products for the skin on your face, century-old Weleda is the best. Their flagship product, Skin Food, is a moisturizer that retails for $12 per ounce. Per ounce, folks. Yeah, I know. But it is - no lie - Mt. Olympus good. A pea-sized amount of the ultrarich cream on your pointer finger is adequate for your entire face. Made from pumpkin-orange calendulas, the makers are Demeter certified, which means that they've achieved the highest grade of harmonizing human, soil, and plant. Every ecological player feeds itself and others just the perfect amount. It's the joint wet dream of diehard environmentalists and enlightened hippies from the central California coast.
🍎 Andrew's Take. They don't really make shit like this anymore. Nab a tube and tell me you don't feel like an airy cherub about to take flight.
🚴♂️ Peloton a bricks. The connected fitness equipment maker lost over $1 billion last quarter... LOLOLOLOLOL! The pandemic is over and many companies must deal with the consequences of the party being over. In the fitness world, the only party that really never ends is: walking and running. Nearly everything else, Peloton included, is a fad. The article argues: "Peloton is the new Tae Bo is the new Thighmaster." A flash in the pandemic? Why do we keep falling for these when running shoes, a yoga mat, and some iron is all you need to look and feel amazing?
🍎 Andrew's Take. I think the real reason Peloton took off is (a) people love spending money on something that in theory will make them hotter, and (b) folks were lonely at home and needed some connection. The "fads" fostering community will keep coming and, at least for a time, thrive because people need people.
🕊️ Tweet of the Day. I take "weirder" here as just less like the average. The average person is a fat sad sack, picking at informational garbage like a seagull at the beach. If "weird" means not that, pour it on baby.
How about them Apples? Hit me with any comments or questions.
