There are many things that give your body the warm and fuzzy signal that the holidays are approaching. One of my favorites is the arrival of the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree!
I just loved the imagery of the tree arriving on the flatbed truck and the anticipation of the official tree lighting, which this year will happen on November 30th. It’s a Norway spruce with over 50,000 multicolored LED lights.
Can’t wait!

When we as humans are going to be in the hot sun too long we put on some sunscreen. But what do animals do? Can they burn like us?
It’s actually a neat trick from mother nature. One example are Hippos’. Their skin can naturally produce sunscreen. Crazy right? Their bodies release a red fluid that works as an anti-bacterial and a sunscreen protecting them in the hot sun of where they mostly live in Africa.
I wish our bodies could do that!

You probably think you’ve head it all when it comes to engagement and proposal stories on the internet. But I guarantee you haven’t heard one as crazy as this.
A guy in Texas had been planning to propose to his girlfriend and had the ring hidden in their house. That’s when a tornado ripped through the town and destroyed their home. He immediately had to tell her about the ring and they recruited a full junior college girls softball team to help them search for it.
After an extensive hunt through the rubble one girl spotted it under two inches of dirt. He immediately got down on one knee right there and popped the question. They had been engaged for 7 years! She obviously said yes, but then joked “that it was “about [effing] time.”Â
After thanking the softball team he had a funny quote too saying “”When you tell 20 girls someone is going to get engaged if they find a ring, they are going to find it.”
