Games, smoothies + free events


Hi there Reader

Let’s shake things up today with a fun game—Two Truths and a Lie!

Here’s how it works: I’ll share three things about me, two of them are true, and one’s a total fib.

Hit reply and let me know which one you think is the fib—I promise I’ll spill the truth in my next email!

Joyce xx

P.S. While you're guessing my lies, here's a truth: Tomorrow I'll be at the Plastic-Free July Community Celebration showing families how to throw the perfect sustainable party. There will be snacks, games and of course, cake! Will I see you there?

P.P.S. Speaking of celebrations, we've also got a sustainable living prize packs up for grabs, valued at $475—enter to win!
