Cooler air, indoor heating, and shorter days can leave you dehydrated even when you're drinking plenty of water. That's because true hydration depends on electrolytes, not just water.

Pique's Deep Hydration Protocol pairs two formulas for round-the-clock hydration. B·T Fountain is a beauty electrolyte with clinically studied ceramides and hyaluronic acid, taken each morning for cellular hydration and steady energy. R·E Fountain follows at night — a calming magnesium blend built on Pique's proprietary Triple Biomaxed™ Magnesium for restful sleep.

Customers on this protocol report falling asleep faster, waking up without that groggy, dehydrated feeling, and noticing healthier-looking skin. This protocol sells out every fall — once it's gone, it's gone until next year.

Get 20% off for life right now, backed by Pique's 90-day guarantee. Shop the Deep Hydration Protocol before it sells out.

Labor Day 2026: Why We Get The Day Off
Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, signed into law by President Grover Cleveland just days after federal troops suppressed the Pullman Strike, a nationwide railroad walkout that left over 30 workers dead. The holiday honored the American labor movement, which had spent decades fighting for the 8-hour workday, child labor laws, and workplace safety standards we take for granted today. The first Labor Day parade was held in New York City on September 5, 1882, drawing an estimated 10,000 workers. Closer to home, Kentucky passed its own worker protections that same year, requiring employers to pay wages in lawful money and barring children from dangerous occupations, a reminder that the rights we celebrate today were hard won at every level of government.

The name Turfway Park is only 40 years old. Before that, the Florence horse racing track carried a name that traces back to one of the most storied racing venues in the country. The original Latonia Race Track opened in 1883 in Latonia, KY. It was a major stop on the horse racing circuit. The Latonia Derby ran for years as a genuine rival to the Kentucky Derby, drawing the same caliber of horses that competed at Churchill Downs. Unfortunately, the Latonia Race Track could not survive The Great Depression. The track closed in 1939, and the grandstands were gone by the time World War II ended. Northern Kentucky went 20 years without a racetrack. When a new racetrack opened in Florence in 1959, it carried the Latonia name forward as the Latonia Race Course. The rebrand to Turfway Park did not come until 1986.
