Day 8: Eat Something Green


Green is the color of energy, healing, and life. 

And when it comes to food, green equals nutrient power. Today, challenge yourself to add at least one green vegetable to every meal—or make one dish completely green!

Think spinach in your smoothie, kale chips as a snack, sautéed bok choy or asparagus with dinner. Try something new—maybe arugula, collards, or even a green soup.

Why green? 

Because these foods are packed with chlorophyll, fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins that support digestion, detoxification, heart health, and glowing skin. 

They help alkalize the body and strengthen your immune system.

Pro tip: 

Combine greens with a healthy fat like avocado or olive oil to boost nutrient absorption. 

Your body will thank you.

Snap a photo of your green plate and share it—let's inspire each other to eat vibrant!

Yes yes I know it's Sunday but do it anyway, add more greens to your meal!

The Cruise Industry in the Cayman Islands: A Turning Point for the Economy and Its People

Image
The Cayman Islands, long celebrated for its white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and laid-back charm, has been a favored stop for cruise lines for decades. Yet, since 2019, the cruise industry here has faced serious challenges, primarily due to the absence of a dedicated cruise berthing facility. While the island once enjoyed a steady stream of cruise ship arrivals, the shift toward larger ships, paired with the limitations of tendering, has led to fewer ships docking at Grand Cayman. The result has been a ripple effect, hurting local businesses, increasing unemployment, and threatening the island's middle and lower classes who rely on tourism for survival. The Missing Berthing Facility and Decline in Ship Calls The Cayman Islands are one of the few Caribbean destinations without a cruise berthing facility, relying on tender boats to shuttle passengers to shore. This outdated method is inconvenient for both passengers and cruise lines, especially as modern ships grow in size a...

Pot, Poker, and Priorities: When a Community Bets Against Its Own Future

Image
There’s a mind-boggling trend happening in some communities: a baffling choice to legalize marijuana and gambling while rejecting or indefinitely delaying infrastructure projects like cruise ship facilities that could bring sustainable, long-term economic growth. One has to pause and ask — where did this type of thought process even come from? How did the priorities get so inverted? Let’s call it what it is: a bet on instant gratification over generational progress. The Economics of Escapism Marijuana and gambling are often marketed as economic stimulants — easy tax revenue, job creation, tourism magnets. But these industries primarily cater to escapism . They thrive not on productivity but on indulgence. And while there may be short-term wins in licensing fees or increased consumer spending, they are also tied to social costs: addiction, crime, healthcare strain, and a distracted workforce. Now, compare that to a cruise facility — a gateway to tourism dollars, entrepreneurship, cu...

When You Lose What You Pawned – And Why It’s Not the End of the World

Image
Let’s talk about the gut-punch moment when you realize you’ve lost the item you pawned. That ring your grandmother gave you. The laptop you need for work. The watch you love but had to let go of just for a little while. Life happened. Bills piled up. Time got away from you. And before you knew it—boom—it was gone. Now let’s talk about what happens next, because here’s where it gets tricky. Instead of a warm welcome or a “how can we help you get back on your feet,” many pawn customers get the cold shoulder. Some pawn shops treat you like damaged goods. They mark your name with invisible ink—“don’t trust, don’t loan, don’t deal with again.” All because you lost an item that you already felt bad about losing in the first place. As if financial hardship is a moral failing. But let’s clear something up right now: Pawn shops should be part of the solution, not another problem. The core mission of any good pawn shop is to help. Not to judge. Not to shame. And certainly not to blackli...
