The world is a vast, interesting place 🌎 That's why I shine a light on the little, overlooked gems hidden in daily life. I share facts/tips for: food & health, pets and the arts. I create content and post charts. 🧐Hidden gems are everywhere, let's dig some up🧐

There are two ways to look at it: 1) Making meals is typically more cost-effective, usually costing $4-$6 per serving, compared to $15-$25 for restaurant dining, or up to $30 for delivery. Or, 2) Generally, making a meal at home is healthier; it gives you total control over ingredients. In the long run, cooking it themselves is cheaper and healthier!

People are funny. They bitch all the time about how expensive restaurants have gotten, but also really want to believe that restaurants are cheaper than dragging their ass to the grocery store, getting food, and cooking it themselves. Which is it?

Agreed 👍💯🤣🤣

I get it. It's hard to find the right balance. And since Gatorade has sweeteners/colors, and bananas only have so much potassium, it's hard. I've resorted to buying them individually and mixing sodium/potassium in my lemon water in the morning, and having magnesium carbonate with my tea at night🤷‍♀️

@xKittKatt I know. I try and drink Gatorade and used to buy bananas. I always seem to throw bananas a way most of the time. I used to force myself to eat them and it helps.

Yesterday I set out for a short run to the store the long way. My legs hurt so much I walked to the store the short way. Today I ran 8 miles and no pain. A girl tried to pass me at the 1 mile mark so I sped up. She probably felt sorry for me and slowed down or turned around. I think my body is just random if it hurts or not.

🟪🕯️the Arts Gems 🟪 Woodworking: These projects are highly accessible and inexpensive, requiring only standard dimensional lumber and basic tools. It is an expressive medium where functionality meets visual storytelling...👇 🟪 EDC Dump Trays 🟪 French Cleat Tool Holders 🟪 Wall-Mounted Coat & Hat Racks 🟪 Yard Games Woodworking can help people unwind...the required focus acts as moving meditation, while the rhythmic physical labor—like sawing and sanding—lowers cortisol and promotes relaxation. 👉 Sounds nice to me😊

@historyinmemes What an amazing talent...I miss him🙏

Robin Williams covering The Beatles feels almost surreal. George Martin assembled an unexpectedly eclectic lineup for the album In My Life, bringing together actors and comedians to reinterpret songs by The Beatles. One of the most memorable moments came from Robin Williams and Bobby McFerrin performing Come Together, transforming the classic into a wildly improvised and completely unexpected rendition.

@ThatEricAlper Anything G&R

Which song instantly transports you back to your teenage years?

@SpillTheMemes Only when he had to be...🤣

Snoopie was a hustler! 😎😎😎

@chefsevenn Protected and invested wisely...YES🤑

Do you consider $750K as life-changing money? Be honest.

@HumansNoContext Funny, but bro, put a mask on😷

I still wouldn't fit

@Vikingswest1 @_we_love_food OOoooo, no, I haven't, might have to give it a try😋

@xKittKatt @_we_love_food Have you ever added green grapes to yours? Yum.

No one actually loves Cranberry Sauce ... right?

@ThatEricAlper Ah, you mean the big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big, big ,big, big, big, big, big ,big...big🎯 Loved it🥰

40 years ago today, Peter Gabriel released 'So.' With "Sledgehammer," "In Your Eyes," "Don't Give Up," "Big Time," and "Red Rain," the album balanced art rock ambition with hope, love, and defiance . What an album. What a voice.

🟩🕯️Health Gems 🟩 Indoor plants can make a house healthier, keep the air fresh, and give happy feelings. But, is it easy to care for them and not spend much time or money...🧐 Here are some no-fuss, budget-friendly plants: 🟩 Golden Pothos/Devil's Ivy (Epipremnum aureum) 🟩 Snake Plant (Dracaena trifasciata) 🟩 ZZ Plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) 🟩 Spider Plant (Chlorophytum comosum) Time-saving care tips: 🟩 The number one killer of houseplants is over-caring, especially over-watering. 🟩 Place plants near a window with bright, indirect sunlight. Start small 👉 Watch to see what is working and what is not. Most plants come with care instructions/light temperament. "Bottom watering" helps save time, and gives the plants a good drink w/o the mess, and mess-ups of watering from the top.

🟥🕯️Food Gems 🟥 Pepitas are a healthy, inexpensive snack food, easily added to a snack mix, salad, side dish, or entree. Naturally shell-less, thin-skinned, and tender, pepitas have a nutty, mildly sweet flavor that can be eaten raw or roasted....👇 🟥 Translating to "little seeds of squash" in Mexican Spanish, they come from specific varieties of hulless pumpkins, not the standard jack-o'-lantern. 🟥 These seeds are highly nutritious, serving as an excellent source of plant-based protein, magnesium, zinc, iron, and heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. I buy mine from a store with "buy-in-bulk" barrels. They usually have a pound of roasted pepitas for about $8 bucks😋 (Please note: Because of their high oil content, true pepitas should be stored in an airtight container (in the refrigerator or freezer) to prevent them from going bad.)

GM X!

@PeriklesGREAT Got it...that's awesome🤣

I've got it ! 😀😀

@chefsevenn YES...all day long😋

Should breakfast foods be acceptable at any hour?

@FarmGirlCarrie Yes...My father once knocked on his childhood home's front door and made the current owners an offer on the spot. They declined, but his memories remained🥰

True?
