Finally, Skincare That Boosts NAD+ At the Source

For decades, skincare has focused on aesthetic results. But we started by asking a different question: what if instead of trying to preserve our skin's youth, we prioritized optimizing our skin's function? That's how Aramore’s  NAD+ skincare was born.

Developed by Harvard & MIT scientists, Aramore is a skincare system based on skin’s performance, not just its appearance. NAD+ production slows down significantly as we age, and this causes all the telltale science of aging. 

Aramore is the only skincare formulated to help skin produce NAD+ like much younger skin would. The result? Skin that’s stronger, firmer,  and more resilient, that not only looks better, but stays healthier over time.

The Best Part Of The Workday?

Usually Happens In The Driveway

Hi friend,

We all know that feeling when our favorite song comes on, and we stay in the parking lot an extra two minutes until it ends.

Or we're almost home, and we sit in the driveway singing our hearts out until it's over.

Our mood shifts. We didn't decide that our brains did.

Turns out sitting in the driveway until the song ends isn't wasted time. It's an important transition.

Which made me think the colleague who always has headphones on might be onto something.

Most of us can't listen to music all day at work, but we can use our favorite song as an end-of-day ritual.

(Last week, we changed what our hands reach for during breaks. If you missed it, it's here.)

This week, we're bringing that car karaoke energy to work. Headphones optional.

The Car Karaoke Reset

This week, let one favorite song mark the end of the workday.

If you commute, let it be the first song you play when you leave. Not a podcast. Not the news. Your song.

If you work from home, put it on before you shut down.

Let it finish before you move on to whatever comes next.

Psychologists call this a transition ritual, a small intentional act that signals the brain that one chapter is closing, and another is beginning.

Without it, work thoughts tend to follow us into the next thing.

Commute karaoke isn't wasted time. It's a way for our brains to know the day is done.

💡 Why This Helps

Music does something that nothing else can.

Give the nervous system a steady rhythm, like your favorite song, and it starts adjusting itself to match.

Researchers call this entrainment.

That's why the commute home feels different when a good song comes on. It's not a distraction.

Music helps shift our physical state.

A song ending gives the brain something calendars rarely do: a clear finish line.

The car karaoke instinct was right all along. You can leave work with your commute instead of carrying it home.
