I don’t know about you but I am up and down with real plants. They either live or die, no rhyme nor reason why some last longer that others. I invested in the app to tell me what to do but still lost some and yet others I have had for literally years. However, now no matter where you look and literally in most shops you can find some artificial plants. A touch of green can make any room or commercial space come alive, and also give your place a serene effect. Bringing the outdoors inside with plants or bright…

Lucky for us, bees make more honey than their colony needs, and beekeepers remove the excess and bottle it.…

Coconut oil seems to pop up everywhere – in cooking, baking, and even fancy coffee drinks. But here’s the twist: despite its plant origins, it’s got a high dose of saturated fats, which has sparked debates about its health benefits. Some studies sing its praises, saying it’s good for your heart by boosting the “good” cholesterol (HDL). Yet, there’s a counterargument that…
