FRESH FOOD FOR YOUR DOG

Sponsored by Pet’s Table

The Same Standards You Trust for Dinner, for Your Dog

The Pets Table is the pet food brand from HelloFresh, built on the same supplier relationships, food safety standards, and delivery operation that millions of households already rely on for their own meals. More than 30,000,000 meals have been delivered.

Plans are personalized to your dog, formulated with a board certified vet nutritionist, and available in human grade Fresh, shelf stable Air Dried, or a mix.

Every plan starts with a 2 week trial box and a 100% money back guarantee, so you can see how your dog responds before committing. Start with 50% off your first box and 20% off your second.

A child psychologist explains why certain praise backfires and which simple phrases actually build lasting confidence in kids.

This month’s guide runs twenty-nine pages on the scams built for people our age: the unpaid toll text, the phone call that sounds like your grandchild, the charity that doesn’t exist. Written to be printed and kept by the phone, so it’s there the next time something strange arrives.

That’s what Insider is. A brand-new in-depth guide every month that’s yours to keep, plus one full issue every week with no ads and nothing to click away to.

Through August 31, joining also gets you Sandy’s book and its companion workbook free, a $19.99 value, with membership at $7.99/mo or $79/yr.

EATING WELL

Sponsored by CookUnity

Eating well is easy. But doing it every day? That’s the hard part.

If you have a health goal, you’ve likely already done your homework. You count macros, stick to organic produce, and always aim to hit 10,000 steps a day.  But between work and life and the fact that cooking takes too much time—getting the nutrition you need doesn’t always happen. That’s what CookUnity is for. The first meal delivery led by world-class chefs that connects you with real, nourishing meals from Michelin-starred masters and Food Network stars. 

Every week at CookUnity, you can pick from over 400 meals, and 60 global cuisines and lifestyle diets including Fitness Fuel, Protein Boost, GLP-1 Balance, Mediterranean, Thai, and way more. Plus, these pro chefs source their own ingredients and handcraft your dishes locally so they’re delivered fresh, and ready to reheat in just minutes.  Weekly menus vary by market, but that’s the fun part of trying meals from the best culinary talent near you.

Getting hungry? Good news, take 50% off your first week.  Enter your zip code, choose how many weekly meals you would like to receive, create an account, choose your dishes, and set your delivery address. You can skip, pause, or change the plan size anytime.
