[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Welcome to This Day in Barrington History” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]Good morning and welcome to March 12th and Day 71 of 365 in Barrington, Illinois! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage. Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.
On this day, March 12 in 1994, Swedish group Ace Of Base started a six week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with techno-reggae pop ballad, ‘The Sign’, a No.2 hit in the UK. On this day back in 1994, Ace of Base techno-reggae pop ballad, “The Sign” topped the Billboard Hot 100 List making Ace of Base the first Swedish band to to simultaneously score a number one single & album on the Billboard charts. It also won the 1995 Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group. The song is about a breakup but I love its message about looking for people, paths and signs that point toward “the light where you belong”.

Not All Produce Is Created Equal. 🥦🍓
Our food system is flooded with pesticides — many linked to hormone disruption, neurological damage, and even cancer.
Here’s the good news: you can dramatically reduce your exposure by following the EWG’s Dirty Dozen & Clean 15 lists:
🍓 Dirty Dozen → Fruits & veggies with the highest pesticide residues.
✅ Whenever possible, choose organic for these.
✨ But remember: even conventionally grown produce is still better than ultra-processed foods.
🥑 Clean 15 → Produce with minimal pesticide residue — typically safe to buy conventional.
💧 Pro tip: Always rinse all produce well, even those with a rind like watermelon!
If navigating nutrition feels overwhelming, that’s what we’re here for.
At CrossFit Barrington, our 1:1 Nutrition Coaching helps you:
✅ Understand what’s actually healthy
