Tell Me Something Good: Donation Only Restaurant Making A Positive Impact On Their Town

Money isn’t everything. As much as the world would make us think that’s the case. This story is a perfect example of how you can make a positive impact and help people without a dime every being exchanged.

This couple down in Alabama own a restaurant called Drexell & Honeybee’s. It has become a very popular place during the pandemic because of it’s donation-based strategy. Anyone can just walk up and get food to go, even if they don’t have any money. Everything they make comes from an optional donation box.

Here’s owner Lisa Thomas-McMillan talking about how she and her husband Freddie like to do business…

Love this idea so much! We need more places like Drexell & Honeybee’s in our lives.

Miley’s New Song! Listen To “Midnight Sky” and Watch Her Self-Directed Music Video

Miley Cyrus hasn’t put out new music in almost a year now. Until last night at midnight when she released her new single “Midnight Sky”. She worked with some of the same people who produced/record The Weeknd’s huge hit Blinding Lights. Which you can TOTALLY hear in this song.

She also self-directed the music video. Super cool.
