Glass Skin Goals? Meet Your Morning Upgrade
Glass skin is the fall beauty goal: a complexion that looks smooth, plump and luminous. Pique’s Carrara Marine Collagen makes supporting that glow a delicious part of your morning routine.
After 90 days on Carrara, 83% reported smoother skin, 80% reported plumper skin and 86% reported greater skin satisfaction.
Each serving combines Type I marine collagen to support skin radiance with rare Type II collagen, sourced from wild Hokkaido salmon, to support elasticity. Together, they bring skin support into a daily ritual that feels like a treat.
Two scoops blend into morning matcha for a creamy latte, making consistency easy as fall schedules fill up. A warm cup, a quiet moment and nourishment from within become part of the same routine.
For anyone pursuing that luminous glass-skin look through sweater season, Carrara adds a beauty upgrade to a habit they already love.

Baytown Offers Free Program
to Help Manage Stray Cat Population🐈
Have stray or feral cats roaming your neighborhood? Baytown Animal Services has a free program designed to help manage the city's outdoor cat population.
Through its Community Cat Program, unowned outdoor cats are humanely trapped, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and returned to the area where they were found. The program, known as Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), helps prevent additional litters while allowing the cats to remain in their familiar surroundings.
The free service includes spay or neuter surgery, rabies and FVRCP vaccinations, and ear-tipping to identify cats that have already been sterilized.
Interested in participating? Contact Baytown Animal Services at 281-422-7600, option 3, or complete a Stray Cat Survey at the shelter. Appointments are scheduled as space becomes available, and there is currently a substantial waiting list.
The program is intended for unowned outdoor cats, not household pets.
