Before You Put On Sandals Get Your Feet Ready With This Simple Trick Using Two Items In Your Kitchen
Summertime means sandal season is upon us. Whether it’s open toed shoes, flip flops, or sandals, they all make us stay cool and help our feet breathe in the heat and humidity. It often feels so good and relaxing to finally free our toes from the cramped sneakers and boots that have been covering our feet for months.
However, lots of us don’t really pay attention to our feet until we have to show them in public. If your feet are not yet sandal ready, or maybe just need a little pampering to get them into tip top condition, then you have to try this nourishing foot soak that will leave your toes looking amazing.
YouTuber Tabitha Blue from Kitchenwise shows us how to make a quick and easy foot soak that uses two simple and all natural ingredients that you likely already have on hand in the kitchen; milk and baking soda. If not, you can pick them up at the store for under $5 total and still have plenty left over for other things or more foot soaks down the line. It only takes about ten minutes total of your time and will leave your feet soft, glowing, and rejuvenated.
Warm up 2-4 cups of milk and pour it into a bowl or container that’s large enough to fit both your feet in comfortably. Once you have soaked your toes for about five minutes grab the baking soda and lightly sprinkle some over them in your foot bath. Work the baking soda around by gently massaging and scrubbing it onto the feet for about a minute or two.
Pay attention to rougher areas or where the skin is thicker, usually heels and the bottoms of feet. Don’t forget to scrub the tops of feet too and around the upper ankle areas that are most visible when you wear sandals. After you’re done scrubbing, keep soaking your feet and sit back and relax for another five minutes.
In case you’re wondering how milk and baking soda work to beautify your feet, read on. Milk naturally contains lactic acid within it, which is often used to soften skin. This helps to prepare any rough patches for removal of the dead skin cells on them. Baking soda is naturally abrasive, so by rubbing it on milk softened feet, you can effectively remove rough patches.
That’s how milk and baking soda work so well together to soften and remove hardened areas of skin, such as tough calluses. If you haven’t tried it yet, give it a shot! Healthy, well cared for, sandal-ready feet will make you feel confident and prepared to take on whatever summer has to offer.

Baby Pygmy Goat Stands Up For The First Time Then He Does THIS and I Lost It!
There are few things on Earth that come close to being as cute as a newborn pygmy goat. They look like the happiest and most precious baby animals that exist in nature. The two that are in this video are only a couple of days old and have only just begun to use their legs and feet. The little guys wobble around and every now and then they hop sideways. Their care-free dance is so innocent and adorable, and you never know where they are headed or where they will end up!
Pygmy goats are known to be very active and playful animals. They love nothing more than to jump up onto different things, like small vehicles and low roofs, and then they leap off. Other popular videos show them even jumping off of each other, so they must be natural born comics and performers! Pretty soon these two will be steady enough on their feet to get to jumping around, but for now they should stick to solid ground.
Several commentators on the YouTube page noted that the baby goats are possibly being harassed by flies. They dance around erratically because they are trying to get away from the pests and are not yet used to the barnyard annoyance. That conceivable fact, combined with learning how to walk for the first time, results in the baby goats doing what can only be described as what looks like a happy dance. Check it out and please share their infectious happiness!

At First This Looked Like A Normal Bird But What He Says To His Girl Is Priceless!
The incredible parrot is one of the world’s most intelligent birds and is among the few capable of imitating human speech. According to wikipedia, studies have shown that some parrots can even associate words with their meanings and form simple sentences, and their brain to body size ratio is comparable to the higher primates. Some are even able to use tools and solve puzzles.
Parrots use a different part of their brain for their higher intelligence than we do. Their cerebral cortex, which is the part of the brain we use for higher intelligence, is very small. But they use an area called the medio-rostral HVC. One parrot, named Alex, was trained to identify, count and answer questions about various objects with a high degree of accuracy. Another, named N’kisi, has a vocabulary of about a thousand words that he is able to use in complete sentences and correct context. He even is able to recognize photographs, name objects and has shown a sense of humor.
The parrots in this video are Rose-Ringed Parakeets, found in tropical regions in Asia and Africa. They are sexually dimorphic, which means the male and female look different. The male, on the right in the video, has the distinctive red ring around his neck. They are usually about 16 inches tall and are very popular as pets. Their ability to adapt has allowed escaped pet parakeets to thrive in cities around the world. Both males and females are able to mimic human speech.
The parrots in this hilarious video had me laughing the whole way through. The parakeet on the viewer’s left repeatedly asks, “Watcha doin?” and then, “Gimme a kiss!” and the one on the right complies!

As The Plants Pressure Builds Seeds Are Exposed Then I Was Stunned When They Did THIS
Plants have evolved some unique ways to survive and prosper in every corner of the globe. Some give off horrible stenches to attract bugs to them so that they can pollinate it, like the corpse flower. Then there are those that are carnivorous and feast on insects, such as the Venus fly trap and pitcher plants. And now we can add plants that explode to the list, as the Smithsonian Channel has uploaded a video featuring this fascinating natural phenomenon. It may sound violent and harmful but the plants have a very good reason for developing the explosive tactics.
The plants shown in the video have evolved the tactic in order to disperse their seeds as far as away as possible from the mother plant. By dispersing seeds in this manner the plants can spread them anywhere from less than a foot away all the way up to 200 feet. That way the plants don’t have to rely on animals to eat them and spread the seeds by expelling them in their droppings. It also eliminates the need for the seeds to be light enough to travel and disperse by the wind, which is what many plant rely on to help scatter them far and wide.
The Smithsonian footage shows three different plants exploding, including violets, touch me nots, and squirting cucumbers. The violet pods slowly dry out and shrivel up which causes the shrinking pods to squeeze the seeds until the pressure becomes too great and they burst open. That is when the seeds launch through the air and away from the plant. Touch me nots are similar in that they build up immense pressure until the slightest disturbance sets them off like a firework.
Even a tiny droplet of water falling onto one can be just enough of a contact that makes them explode. Finally, the coolest and craziest plant in the video is the squirting cucumber. When it becomes ripe it can be set off by the slightest vibration or disturbance. As the cucumber falls away from the plant it forcefully spurts out a steady stream of seeds and liquid. This ensures that all of the seeds get randomly spread out all around and away from the mother plant, and the next generation lives on.
The awesome spectacle is neat to see, especially in slow motion. People like to say that mother nature always puts on a good show and that adage rings true here.

After Walking Inside This Strange Structure I Don’t Ever Want To Go To A Hotel Again. WOW!
Imagine checking into a hotel that is located right along a scenic inland waterway. As you seek out and head toward your accommodations a portable walkway takes you over calm and serene waters. At the end of the short trip you arrive at your very own floating pod, a private catamaran that contains all the comforts of a first rate hotel room with unbeatable views of the surrounding nature and wildlife. After settling in you decide to explore and head off to find more isolated shores, so you navigate away from the dock and slowly motor off into the sunset.
If this sounds like heaven then check out this neat video that offers an inside look at the floating hotel design that recently won the Millennium Yacht Design Awards. The innovative and unique concept takes experiencing nature up close and personal to a whole new level and blends it with the comfort, privacy, and modern luxuries of a hotel stay.
Guests are free to pick and choose where they go and stay on the water, giving them the ability to seek out total and complete privacy away from others if they wish. The floating hotel features a central unit which serves as a reception area where guests would check in. In addition, the main unit would house a restaurant, event hall, staff offices, and a cafe. Portable walkways lead to guest pods which can easily be separated and navigated along the waterway. Each pod is designed with sleek, modern interiors, and sleeps 2-4 people comfortably.
The main goal of the design is to give guests an uninterrupted view of nature, and freedom of movement, as they slowly navigate around and explore the waterways. Thus, designers created pods with large glass windows, open floor plans, and spacious outdoor decks to allow nature in.
The fact that you can seek out more privacy simply by moving your room is a very attractive option for many travelers. For those who like being social and active, there is also a planned beach platform. It would host a variety of outdoor water sports activities available for guests to do, including swimming, fishing, diving, and sunbathing.
There is something for everyone to enjoy and there is so much more that a place like this could offer. At this stage the floating hotel is just a design concept and it has not been built. Whether or not it ever does come to fruition depends on where it will eventually be located. Hopefully it will happen soon because the idea and concept has already won many over.

A Deer Family Is Partying In This Human’s Backyard. But Then THIS Unexpected Visitor Shows Up!
You won’t believe who crashes this backyard deer party! Friends can be found in the unlikeliest of places, just ask this mother deer and her two spotted fawns. While they are just minding their own business and having a nice family outing, an overly gregarious and frisky otter shows up and clearly wants to play. The otter’s antics and back flops had me in stitches the entire time!
The word otter comes from the same root word as water, which is appropriate as they are semi-aquatic. Otters are technically part of the weasel family, along with minks, martens, honey badgers and wolverines. The behavior of the otter in this video is typical, as they are known to be quite playful and often engage in activities for pure enjoyment. They sometimes make water slides or play with small stones.
The deer in this video are a subspecies of mule deer called the black-tailed deer. At one time, they could be found as far east as Wyoming, but are now limited primarily to the Pacific Northwest. Deer are gentle creatures that exemplify courage in intimidating circumstances. The otter, on the other hand, reminds us to see the lighter side of life, and to enjoy whatever opportunities arise.
