little life lessons learned recently:
when sweetening one's coffee and there is no sugar or honey or sweetener of any kind to be found, strawberry jam will absolutely not work in a pinch
when purchasing a curling iron at the thrift store, a quick check for the (intact) protective little rubber bit on the end of the handle would be wise-- otherwise, one will legit need oven mitts to use said iron and one will look legit ridiculous doing it
maybe don't put so many plants in one pot
