Nikocado Avocado Woke up 250lbs Lighter! Vegan Again?!

Image
The Mukbang king, Nikocado Avocado, broke his 7 month silence after uploading a video to his channel last night.   He first appeared in the video wearing a big Panda head mask.  Beyond that gigantic panda mask, there was something noticeably different about Nick!   There was a super thin body under the mask!  Could this be a clone of Nikocado?  Is this really the same person who would down several cheeseburgers, nuggets, stuffed tacos and huge plates of noodles in one sitting?  Nikocado is the self proclaimed mukbang king of the internet and with that title came loads of weight gain. It was a real shock to see him slimmer than what he used to be as a vegan.  At the beginning of the video, he stated how he was "two steps ahead."  He went on to say that he had been a part of one of the greatest social experiments of his entire life and likened himself to being a villain of a story where he was able to have significant influence over his followers while remaining two steps ahead

Happy Earth Day! Say Hi to Bruce...


My new plant could not have come on a better day! Happy Earth Day folks!!!  Say hello to Bruce, the newest plant baby in my green scene.  Bruce is a Pachira Aquatica (Guiana Chestnut) plant in the Malvaceae family.  This Pachira Aquatica is in perfect health and is so tall (over three feet). I did not think that it was going to be this big and I’m so ecstatic to see it.  The number one aspect that I love about Pachira Aquatica is its braided trunk because well—it reminds me of hair! It’s pretty cool to see a braid in plant form.  Not only that, I love the idea of growing mini tree indoors.  Pachira Aquatica is native to the tropical wetlands of South and Central America.  I’ve already been eyeing a sister for Bruce that will grow well with it. It is the Dracaena Sanderiana which is native to the Asparagaceae family.

Pachira Aquatica Needs

If you’re on the fence about purchasing a Pachira Aquatica plant, just go for it. It requires positioning in indirect lighting for 5-6 hours per day and watering 1x per week or every other week.  Since Pachira Aquatica loves humid environments, the leaves can be misted regularly or a small space humidifier can be kept nearby.  Adding a mixture of a few drops of neem oil and water will keep plant pests away if they are experienced.  

Fertilizer

This braided trunk plant requires fertilization monthly during spring and summer seasons and every two months during fall and winter. A gentle organic fertilizer is best for use with pachira aquatica. These can be compost, fish meal or an organic liquid fertilizer. Here are a few organic fertilizer brands: Fox Farm Organic liquid plant food, Back to the Roots Organic Plant Food, Organic Plant Magic All Purpose Fertilizer, Jobe’s Organics Fertilizer Spikes/Tablets and Omri Fish & Kelp Fertilizer.  Synthetic fertilizers should never be used as they are extremely harmful to the environment and made using petroleum products.  



Bruce arrived from Costa Farms, a southern based family owned farm that grows over 1500 varieties of plants. Costa Farms has greenhouses in the Dominican Republic, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina and their plants are specially trained to grow as if they are in a home environment. Doing business with Costa Farms has always been a total treat!  The plants are in the best condition and they arrive fresh and ready to continue on their growing and sprouting journey. I’ve found their plants to be much more high quality than other plant nurseries that I’ve become acquainted with.  Costa Farms is able to produce many unique and rare varieties since their head plant hunter travels the world to find all the best plants that individuals will love having in their homes and gardens.  They are on a mission to make plants accessible to everyone. 

-Xo Earth Day Cheers

Image
Apple premiered their yearly Apple Event introducing the new Apple Series 9 Apple Watch and the iPhone 15 standard, plus and pro models.  During the event, a commercial was premiered featuring Octavia Spencer, Tim Cook (CEO of Apple), Lisa Jackson (VP of Environment, Policy and Social Initiatives.  This funny commercial saw Octavia present herself as “Mother Nature,” a stern yet comical corporate responsibility officer.  Before Octavia entered the scene, all the officers and workers at the meeting were shuffling around looking nervous and anxious while drinks shook on the table.   We even saw Tim Cook rehearsing the lines that he would repeat to Mother Nature when she entered.   After Mother Nature arrives, Tim Cook, asks her “how was the weather getting in?” Mother Nature then says, “the weather was however I wanted it to be!”   Mother nature reminds Mr. Cook of his promise in 2020—which is to bring Apple’s carbon footprint to zero by 2030. As the commercial ensued, the viewer learns

Leave the Sea Turtles Alone: Nine Die from Consuming Marine Turtle Meat

Image
Nine individuals passed away from consumption of endangered marine turtles in Pemba Island, Zanzibar last month.  A total of eight children and one adult died due to chelonitoxism or food poisoning from the contaminated turtle meat.  Death from chelonitoxication is thought to be a rare happening and is mostly associated with consuming marine turtles such as Green sea turtle, Hawksbill turtle, Olive Ridley and Leatherback turtles.    Consumption of sea turtles is considered a delicacy in remote places and African countries such as Tanzania and Madagascar, French Polynesia and Indo-Pacific regions.  The sea meat is usually consumed at celebratory gatherings.  The individuals who cook and consume marine turtles are unable to decipher if the meat is toxic because the marine turtles appear healthy and do not display any symptoms.  The chelonitoxins cannot be destroyed through heat or cooking.  The chelonitoxism that occurs in marine turtles are due to environmental factors which may include
