LIFE HACK #053

To ensure your leftover garden seeds thrive next year, safeguard them with a simple yet effective method.

Place the seeds in an airtight container, like a mason jar or a sealed plastic bag. Enhance their longevity by tossing in a couple of silica packets, commonly found in shoeboxes.

These desiccants absorb moisture, preventing your seeds from succumbing to unfavourable conditions. Stored in a cool, dry place, your seeds will patiently await their moment to flourish in the next gardening season.

LIFE HACK #054

Never underestimate the power of a banana. These yellow wonders aren't just a tasty snack; they're also your ticket to a happier mind.

Bananas boast tryptophan, an amino acid that transforms into serotonin—the famed "happy hormone." Embrace the joy by indulging in this natural mood booster.

A single banana can work wonders, alleviating irritability, taming anger, and lending a helping hand in the battle against depression.

So, next time you need a pick-me-up, reach for this cheerful fruit and let the serotonin surge begin!
