clubhouse chat: top banana

happy fruit friday, club. last week we peer pressured you into pears. this week's pick has been dorm-proof since before dorms had wifi. it costs about thirty cents, it comes in its own wrapper, and it once went head to head with a sports drink in a lab and did not lose. read to the end: your entire three step skincare routine is waiting at the bottom.

the glow file

first, the fun fact: in a famous trial, cyclists rode seventy five kilometers fueled by nothing but bananas and matched the sports drink group pedal for pedal. now the grown up mechanism: one banana carries roughly ten percent of your daily potassium plus vitamin b6, and a slightly green one adds resistant starch, the fiber your gut bacteria treat like a dinner party. so the answer to what are healthy dorm snacks starts here: no fridge, no prep, no cleanup. tuck one in your bag for the walk to class, then come see what generosity looks like in texas.

the piggy bank

north texas giving day is live right now, and the numbers are ridiculous in the best way: last year it moved seventy eight million dollars to more than three thousand three hundred local nonprofits, and seventeen years in, the running total has passed seven hundred twelve million. every fee is covered, so one hundred percent of each gift lands where it was aimed. it runs through september seventeenth, which means the leaderboard is climbing while you read this. speaking of shout outs that change everything.

heard at the clubhouse

ms. rachel, patron saint of preschool screen time, pointed her eleven million followers at the bomme sweets, a family run bakery in los angeles, and founder ashley la bomme-benson earned a full month's rent, thirty six hundred fifty dollars, within twenty four hours. one kind post, one small business, rent paid. and the comeback energy does not stop there.

the sunshine page

the kākāpō, the world's heaviest parrot, just passed three hundred birds for the first time in seventy five years. closer to home, black bears are back across the american south, with arkansas climbing from about forty bears to five thousand. comebacks love company. now, about what you are wearing to friday's class.

the dress code

daily fit: the base sports bra in midnight black, forty dollars, first time featured and deeply stocked, the black-goes-with-everything piece your gym bag has been asking for. seen on: elle fanning is walking fall's penny loafer revival, and the g.h. bass pair on her syllabus runs one hundred sixty dollars. save up for it: the grown up rung is saint laurent's croc effect cassandre loafer at fourteen hundred fifty dollars, proof the campus classic climbs all the way to the penthouse. one more thing before you head out, because your face walked to class too.

the passed note

the college skincare routine is officially a named trend this semester, and the whole assignment is three steps: cleanse, moisturize, spf. the club's pick for step one is cerave's foaming facial cleanser, twelve ninety nine at target with a 4.7 star average across 13,468 ratings. that is the entire protocol. banana in one hand, cleanser in the other, you are untouchable.

send this to a friend. that's how the club grows.

health is hot.
