If you are coming to summer months, you need to stay cool with smart, healthy beverages. Cool mint teas are my favorite. I would like to share a tip on how to grow your own mint at home. Buy an affordable mint plant from your local store or nursery and cut off the side shoots growing along the main stem. Place these in a glass of water until they develop roots and grow in the water. You can use these at your convenience. You can then plant the original mint plant in a pot with soil to encourage more growth from the cut stem. This easy trick allows you to have a constant supply of fresh mint right in your kitchen, and you can use the same method for other herbs like basil, rosemary, and oregano. By growing your own herbs in this way, you’re reducing the need for plastic packaged, store-bought ones, which helps the environment.
Some guffaws will surely make your day feel lighter, so it’s time to give airtime to the following joke. It’s called “Much Better.”
A fortune teller reads a man’s palm:
“In the first half of your life, you suffered from a lack of money, but in the second half... it will be much better.”
“Oh, is it because I will make more money?”
“No, no. It is because you will get used to it.”
?!
