I LOVE this idea for a Mother’s Day gift.
This family took their grandmother’s handwritten recipe for chicken salad, blew it up huge, and made it the wallpaper in their pantry. Then they surprised her with the reveal of it on the wall. It almost reminds me of a rustic kitchen type vibe.
The video of them showing her is going viral now and her reaction is amazing.

Today is Cinco de Mayo. Every year people seem to get confused to what this holiday is actually celebrating. A lot people think it’s Mexico’s Independence Day. It’s not. Others think it’s just an excuse to drink a ton of tequila and eat a million tacos. Also not the reason.
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th 1862. The victory was a major win for Mexico.
There you go, now you know your Cinco de History as you enjoy that guac tonight.
Avocados are delicious and have a ton of health benefits, but did you also know that aside from eating them, you can wipe them on your face to help with your acne, reduce inflammation and help moisturize your skin! We asked Producer Sean to try out a homemade avocado facial mask to see if it would make his skin look better! Do you think it worked?

This story is incredible.
A 24-year-old guy named Philip Vu quit his bank job a while back to live out of his car and travel. A life changing road trip that he never imagined would lead to what he ended up doing here in Connecticut.
While passing through New Haven on his journey he made friends with a homeless guy named Mike. Philip thought Mike was so interesting that he started posting videos of their conversations online, and they went viral. Them eating lunch, dinner, just driving talking about life. his followers started to reach out to ask how they could help Mike. Phillip decided to set up a GoFundMe account for him and ended up raising $17,000!!
Here’s the video of him giving Mike an envelope with the first thousand dollars. His reaction is priceless.
If Phillip can do this for one man in New Haven, imagine what could be done across the country to try and help people in need get back on their feet.

Happy Star Wars Day! As you’ve probably seen plastered all over your social feeds by now… it’s May 4th. Get it? “May the 4th be with you”.
So I figured we would make today’s Mundane Mystery Star Wars related. What species is Yoda and is he considered a Muppet?
That first part about what species he is has actually never been explained in any of the movies. As Yoda would say… “A mystery, it is”
As for the second question I’ve heard this a lot. People thinking that Yoda falls under the Muppet category because Frank Oz who was a legendary Muppeteer voiced Yoda. Despite Jim Henson overseeing the creation of the character he never actually had any involvement in building Yoda. That was all George Lucas and his staff at Lucasfilm. Therefore, Yoda… technically not a Muppet.
