Baking for Good!

Hi Genuslo community, Stella here. This week my friends and I spent the afternoon baking cookies for the teen homeless shelter and for first responders in the Incline/Reno area, and it definitely turned into more of an event than a normal baking session. We had music blasting, flour on pretty much every surface (including us), and at one point a cookie batter “incident” turned into a mini food fight. Of course we cleaned everything up afterward, probably laughing harder during cleanup than during the chaos itself.

What I love about doing things like this is how the simplest act becomes meaningful when you do it together. Baking for someone else boosts your confidence and your mood in a way scrolling on social media never does. It gets you out of your own head, reminds you of what you’re grateful for, and lets yo u share that forward. It also turns an ordinary day into something you actually remember.
