Take 10, Feel Better

The all-or-nothing workout mindset is officially losing its grip. Enter the 10-minute reset walk—a low-pressure way to clear your head, shift your mood, and get back into your body without carving out a full hour. Whether it’s a quick lap around the block between meetings or a post-dinner stroll, these short walks are less about steps and more about state of mind.

Part of the appeal is how easy it is to actually do. You don’t need a gym membership, a detailed plan, or even a cute matching set (although it never hurts). You just step outside, get a little sunlight, and give your brain a minute to breathe, which can shift your stress levels almost immediately. It’s movement without pressure, and lately, that’s exactly what people are craving.

There’s also something to be said for consistency over intensity. A 10-minute walk you actually take every day does more for your mental health than the workout you keep rescheduling. It’s simple, realistic, and it works, which is why people are sticking with it.

Try This Today: Step outside for a quick 10-minute walk—no destination, no distractions, just you and a reset.

ICYMI: Women Built Your Everyday Life 

It’s the last day of Women’s History Month, and we’re keeping the celebration going until the very end by highlighting some inventions you may not have known were created by inspiring women. 

Hedy Lamarr: She was best known for being a huge star during MGM’s Golden Age, but her frequency hopping invention led to the creation of Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth. 

Melitta Benz: If you’ve ever brewed a cup of coffee at home, you can thank Melitta, who invented paper coffee filters in 1908. 

Madame Clicquot (Barbe Nicole Ponsardin): An icon in the champagne world, she created the riddling table to clarify champagne. Even more important to many of us, she innovated the very first blend of rosé champagne.

Dr. Alejandra Gurtman & Dr. Barbara Pahud: These two Latina scientists played integral roles in the creation of the first (and only) maternal RSV vaccine—protecting infants from a virus that disproportionately affects Black and Latine children. 

Alice H. Parker: Alice patented a central heating system using natural gas, which was much safer than alternatives at the time. She paved the way for the HVAC and forced-air systems we see today. 

Lillian Gilbreth: We can’t even say we’re surprised that a woman invented the foot pedal trash can, but we’re thankful she did. 

Gertrude B. Elion: A Nobel Prize recipient, Gertrude and her team used rational drug design to create the first immunosuppressive drug to fight rejection of organ transplants and acyclovir (to treat herpes). Her work led to the creation of the first drug widely used against AIDS (AZT).  

Stephanie Kwolek: This world-renowned chemist invented Kevlar, after being denied use of the spinneret that was integral to its discovery. It’s five times stronger than steel by weight.

Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson: Without her research, we wouldn’t have caller ID, fiber-optic cables, touch-tone telephones, or portable fax machines.  

Florence Parpart: Not only did she invent the first electric refrigerator, but she also patented a street sweeping machine.

In a world where connection looks different from how it used to, one founder is making it a little more delicious. Meet Rachel Solomon Fascitelli—the co-founder behind Boarderie, the beautifully curated boards you’ve definitely seen (and probably been inspired by). Rachel has helped reinvent how we celebrate from afar with the first-ever fully arranged cheese and charcuterie boards. 

With a background in finance, a mix of creativity, operational precision, and a deep understanding of what makes a moment feel special, Rachel is helping turn everyday gifting into something far more meaningful. We sat down with her to talk about the inspiration behind Boarderie, the rise of edible gifting, and the unexpected flavor combinations you need to try ASAP.

What inspired you and your co-founders to create the concept of fully arranged cheese and charcuterie boards?

Boarderie began with a simple but powerful question: How do you share the feeling of gathering with those you love from thousands of miles away?  For a bit of background, before launching Boarderie, my co-founders, Aaron and Julie, built a thriving hospitality business in Palm Beach, Florida. Like so many businesses, everything changed in 2020 with the onset of the pandemic. They were forced to rethink the entire business as in-real-life events evaporated. They brought me on (alongside our fourth co-founder, Angel) to solve a challenge: Could we deliver beautifully arranged, premium-quality cheese & charcuterie boards to anywhere in the country and, in doing so, forever change the way people thought of gifting food? The answer took a lot of creativity and a real leap of faith. But at its core, Boarderie was born from a desire to keep people connected, even when they couldn’t be together.

Why do you think edible gifting has become such a popular way for people to celebrate milestones, holidays, and everyday moments?

At its core, food is a love language. It’s one of the most universal ways we express care, celebration, and connection.

Even before Boarderie, edible gifting has always held emotional resonance, but today, people are looking for even more meaningful, experience-driven gifts that deliver not o
