Welcome to this week’s installment of From Our Friends, a weekly roundup where we highlight some of our favorite posts, published by our friends and partners around the web. This week’s edition includes a delightful natural toothpaste DIY, a sobering look at how different our world could be if everyone took up running, what holistic plastic surgery really means, how whey protein helps rejuvenate after exercise, why instant coffee pods are bad, how to sprout your own seeds at home, tons of Easter egg solutions for every household from vegan to traditional, and a new spin on kale to make the trend exciting again. Enjoy! 1.
