TIP OF THE DAY
Can Your Aloe Vera Double as a First-Aid Kit?
Aloe vera gel soothes minor burns and cuts while the plant purifies your air. Snap off a lower leaf close to the stem, slice it lengthwise, and scoop out the clear gel with a spoon. Apply the gel directly to clean skin or store it in a sealed glass jar in the fridge for up to 1 week . The plant thrives in bright, indirect light and needs water only when the soil dries out completely—usually every 2 to 3 weeks. |  |
CLEANING
After a weekend touch-up turned sticky, we found that warming tile adhesive with a hair dryer helps it release cleanly without gouging the wall. We assembled five proven ideas to remove adhesive fast while protecting paint and drywall.
FUN FACT
Did the Mayans drink hot chocolate cold?
The ancient Mayans didn't sip their chocolate hot—they drank it cold, bitter, and frothy. Around 500 BC, they mixed ground cacao beans with water, chili peppers, and cornmeal, then poured the liquid back and forth between vessels to create foam. The drink was reserved for royalty, warriors, and religious ceremonies, and tasted nothing like our sweet, creamy version. The Mayans believed cacao was a gift from the gods. |  |
BUG CONTROL
