🚫🔥 DON'T COOK WITH OLIVE OIL!
Olive oil is one of the healthiest oils in the world, but according to Dr. Sebi, it shouldn't be heated.
Its chemical structure isn't suitable for high temperatures, and it loses its properties when cooked with.

✅ Use it raw, to dress salads, cooked vegetables, or prepared dishes.
🥑 Instead, use avocado oil for cooking, which withstands heat better.

Sweet pickle fly trap!
1. Buy a jar of sweet pickles.
2. Eat the pickles and save the juice.
3. Make four holes in the lid using a Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer. The holes should be big enough for flies to enter.
4. Place the jar where you want to catch flies and wait two days for results.

Tip: Dill pickles won't work; it must be sweet pickles to attract the flies. You can use a mix of apple cider vinegar, water, and sugar, but the sweet pickle brine is easier and a great way to repurpose it during BBQ season.
