More tips for cut flower lovers, add a teaspoon of sugar & 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the water. Sugar feeds the flowers & the vinegar (or bleach) is a disinfectant & antibacterial that will keep them fresh.
Change the water every 2 days. Keep out of direct sunlight. 💐

Infused waters are one of the most wasteful "health" food trends. Chopped herbs & fruit in cold water don't act like teabags.
- drink plain water & stop wasting fruit
- or squeeze/juice the fruit
- or blend in a smoothie (better than juicing because you get the fibre)

Funny enough there have been social media platforms & even dating apps for rich people, but they flopped.
It seems one of the key elements of being wealthy & active on social media, is stunting on an audience of poor & middle class folks. 🥔
Rich people need to have their own social media platform and leave us alone.

She's not in control or knowledgeable. This dog is in attack mode & she's petting it to try to calm it down. Petting a dog is rewarding it for the current behaviour, so she's actually rewarding the aggression, on top of being WEAK (she sits & dog is on her, meaning it dominates)

Unpopular opinion: MBAs are over-subscribed & the ROI doesn’t bang like it used to, if at all.
Look into other post grad programs in tech, economics, public admin /management, dev studies etc.

South Africans are taxed at the level of Nordic countries - yet the quality & extent of our public services & infrastructure...well, you know the rest.
one of Moyane’s ‘achievements’ is that he collected tax equaling 26% of GDP which is amongst the highest in the world. That’s not a good thing though that means we’re being overtaxed

Years ago I was a young Deputy Director at the Dept of Justice. We hosted an event for State Litigators.
One of the main speakers (a Black woman advocate), told me to fetch her a sandwich (in front of the DG no less). Had to tell her "No ma'am. That's not my role here."
Before my first Board meeting, my mentor set me down & said “you’ll be the only female in those meetings & the youngest, don’t offer to make anyone tea or let them ask you to fetch things in those meetings you are all equal”
