Founder's Corner

Hey friend. Welcome to the first Weekly Light.

The Weekly Light is a personal letter from us - a little distraction from the doom-scrolling, and some happiness in your inbox every week. 

Let's do this together. If we share a recipe you love, or you discover your new favorite artist, reply back - Heather & I would love to hear from you. If you've got something that's bringing you happiness right now, share it with us.

Trek Light is a small, family-owned brand, and whether you've been following along for 20+ years now, or you just discovered us - we couldn't do this without you.

Okay, let’s go. Here's the first Weekly Light.

- Seth & Heather

What We're Listening To

I'm A Song
Stephen Wilson Jr.

My absolute favorite music discovery of the past year.

Stephen has a voice, and a playing style, that will make you drop whatever you're doing when you click this link, and just listen. 

And the lyrics - this one hits hard, and gets deeper with every listen.

If you like what you hear, make sure you listen to his full debut album Son Of Dad.

-Seth

From Our Table To Yours

Miso Butter Mushroom Pasta

Simple, fast, and our new go-to recipe for a weeknight pasta dish.

Make it even better: 

Add some green. Frozen peas or broccoli are our faves.

Add a protein like grilled chicken or shrimp.

3X the recipe = 1lb of pasta (a full box). Feed the family + leftovers!

Product News

The Agave Robe

Our limited-edition Agave Robes are almost sold out forever.

And we're closing them out with our lowest price ever.

There's only a few left, don't miss out!

Quote of the Week

And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

- Max Ehrmann, 1927

We want to hear from you. 💛
