"Throw Out Fifty Things" is truly an eye-opener.  According to Blanke, our lives are so filled with junk from the past—from dries up tubes of crazy glue to old grudges—that it's a wonder we can get up in the morning, never mind get to work, care for our children and parents, and just put one foot in front of the other.

SPICE GIRLS
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
The Spice Girls are a British girl group formed in 1994, consisting of Mel B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham. They were formed to compete with popular boy bands. With their "girl power" mantra, they redefined the girl-group concept by targeting a young female fan base. Their debut single "Wannabe" topped the charts in 37 countries. The album Spice (1996) sold over 23 million copies worldwide. The group's success was compared to Beatlemania, with the press calling it "Spicemania". The group was known for their dance-pop music, female empowerment themes, and individual nicknames.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The Spice Girls were formed in 1994 after Heart Management held auditions to create a girl group to compete with popular British boy bands. The group was originally envisioned to comprise "five strikingly different girls" who would each appeal to a different audience.
The group initially practiced songs written by Bob Herbert's associates, but these songs were never used by the Spice Girls because they were aimed at a very young audience. The group felt insecure without an official contract, which led them to seek a showcase performance that resulted in a major label deal.
The Spice Girls, frustrated with their management, allegedly stole the master recordings of their music from Heart Management before leaving. They then tracked down a songwriter from the showcase and began recording demos for their debut album.

Raised Bed Revolution -...

Gertrude Harris

In recent years, raised bed gardening has gained immense popularity among gardeners of all experience levels, offering a simple yet effective solution to maximize gardening space. Whether you have a sprawling backyard or a small urban patio, raised beds are an ideal way to grow more in less space. This gardening method takes traditional gardening techniques and amplifies their benefits, creating an accessible and highly productive growing environment.
Raised beds are essentially framed plots of soil that are raised above the surrounding ground level. This simple yet innovative design promotes better drainage, reduces soil compaction, and enhances root health, making it an excellent choice for growing a wide range of plants. The elevated nature of the beds allows for easier access, especially for individuals with limited mobility or those who prefer to garden without bending down constantly. Additionally, raised beds warm up faster in the spring and dry out more quickly, extending the growing season and allowing for earlier planting.
One of the primary advantages of raised bed gardening is the ability to control the soil quality. Traditional garden beds can be plagued by poor soil conditions, compacted earth, or heavy clay that inhibits root growth. With raised beds, gardeners have the opportunity to create the perfect soil mix, tailored to the needs of the plants they wish to grow. By selecting high-quality soil and incorporating organic amendments such as compost, gardeners can ensure that their crops receive optimal nutrition and thrive throughout the growing season.
Moreover, raised beds are a great way to promote efficient water usage. With a well-designed watering system, water can be directed straight to the roots, reducing water waste and keeping plants hydrated without over-saturating the soil.
