MeMe Orange Swimming

Description:

Landwalkers love to dream about time travel. DeLoreans, phone booths, police boxes. All that fuss about machines to visit the past or peek into the future. But mermaids? Honey, we’ve been at it for centuries — only we don’t call it time travel, we call it tide travel.

But here’s the thing: thirty-one days is the challenge, and I showed up with twenty-nine shiny splashes of podcast sass. And in mermaid math, that still counts as a win.

Description:

And flossing? Seaweed works fine, but we prefer jelly strands — extra slippery, biodegradable, and if you’re lucky, bioluminescent. Nothing says “fresh breath” like a glow-in-the-dark smile.
