Today marks 95 years since one of the most Amazing humans was born, my Granddaddy. If you knew him, you loved him & you know that he loved you, too. He radiated joy, love, understanding, peace, encouragement, support, acceptance, gentleness, grace, kindness, authenticity, generosity, charm & cheerfulness. He was love in motion.If you were the recipient of a secret random act of kindness - it was likely from him. 💕He had the highest vibration & made everyone know they were someone important. He woke up whistling, was constantly celebrating life & was ever present. He taught me to find joy in the little things - a beautiful sunset, a whipperwhil song, sharing a smile with a stranger. He had the most jovial spirit. He was one of my biggest cheerleaders in life & had a huge impact on the person I am. People used to comment that I looked like him & that I was like him - one of the best compliments I could ever receive. ❤️ Im down here trying to fill one of your shoes Granddaddy. I see you in the winks & waves from the great beyond. I'm eternally grateful for the gift you were in my life. Until we meet again - ❤️ Fiddlebump

Ingredient to Avoid 🚫

DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (monoethanolamine), TEA (triethanolamine):

DEA and MEA are usually listed on the label in conjunction with the compound being neutralized, so look for names like Cocomide DEA or MEA, Lauraminde DEA, and so on. These are hormone-disrupting chemicals known to form cancer-causing nitrates and nitrosamines. They are almost always in products that foam, including bubble baths, body washes, shampoos, soaps and facial cleaners. On the show “CBS This Morning,” Dr. Samuel Epstein, professor of environmental health at the University of Illinois, said, “Repeated skin applications of DEA-based detergents resulted in a major increase in the incidence of two cancers – liver and kidney cancers.” John Bailey, head of the cosmetic division of the FDA, says that the new study is especially important since “the risk equation changes significantly for children.” Tests at the University of Bologna in Italy found TEA to be the most frequent sensitizer used in cosmetics, gels, shampoos, creams, lotions, etc.

This is a fantastic development!

🌊 Japan’s Breakthrough: Plastic That Dissolves & Nourishes the Earth! ♻️🇯🇵

Japanese scientists have created a new biodegradable plastic that:

✅ Dissolves in seawater within hours — leaving no microplastics
✅ Enriches soil in just 10 days — releasing nutrients for plants
✅ Non-toxic, carbon-neutral, and recyclable
How does it work?

It’s made from a unique mix of food-safe sodium hexametaphosphate and guanidinium-based monomers.
👉 In seawater → breaks down quickly
👉 In soil → boosts plant growth
Potential uses:

🌱 Biodegradable mulch films & seed coatings
🌊 Fishing nets & ropes → reduce ghost gear
🥡 Eco-friendly food packaging & cutlery

A true game-changer in the fight against plastic pollution — and a win for sustainable agriculture! 🌍💚
