The new super snack!

We just read an article that will make every balance-day a lot easier! Forget eating fruit & vegetable, just grab a hand of popcorn every day! :) Researchers from the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania just discovered that popcorn contains much more antioxidants than fruit and vegetables. So, just a really healthy snack!

Antioxidants can help you body to protect against cancer and heart diseases. Popcorn contains more than twice as much of those than fruitsnacks or just normal corn. The study about this wonderfood also tells us that one serving of popcorn provides us more than 70% of our daily whole grain intake! The most persons get about half of their daily intake every day, so popcorn can help them!

Popcorn may contain more antioxidants than fruit and vegetables, but of course, it is still important to eat those! ;) Because they contain a lot of other vitamins, which you can't live without! You also have to watch out with the sugar and salt on your popcorn! This make you popcorn more unhealthy!

But when you are at the movies, just at home or hanging out with a friend; 
no hard feelings, just pop that corn! :) 

What does it mean to be cute?

Bored? Why not think about the meanings and mysteries of life? Somebody just told me about one of those mysteries. Why do woman agree that some things are cute and others aren’t? When we walk by a big, swimming duck, we just keep on walking. But when that duck is swimming with a bunch of ducklings we suddenly run towards them and scare them with our too high pitched voice. Why do we do this?

What do you agree is cuter? A little Kia car? Or a big, crude Opel? If you are a woman, you would probably say the Kia. This is because there are a couple of aspects that make things cute. A big head compared to the body is one of them. According as bigger eyes compared to the head. Furthermore, when a nose is smaller than normal, we, women, think this is cute. This can explain the example of the cars and the ducklings. The beak of a duckling is not fully grown yet, and therefore we just have to stop and try to caress them. This phenomenon is applicable to almost all baby animals, like dogs, kittens, monkeys and bunny’s.

Did you ever noticed that our most favorite Mickey Mouse has changed over the years?  Mickey used to be a character looking just like a mouse with a big pointy nose. Through the years, Mickey has changed and transformed more into a cute baby-looking mouse. His nose got smaller and his eyes got bigger. All just to satisfy our desire for cuteness.

What is a better way to do on a Sunday, then to learn about this beautiful day?

Sunday is named after - you wouldn’t say - sun’s day. The day of the sun. This day was to bless the god Sunna. Nowadays, Sundays are becoming less and less special. It is not the worldwide weekly resting day anymore. But that does not mean that Sundays aren’t the most wonderful day of the week anymore. Let’s take a look at why Sundays are that special.

• On a Sunday you never have to go to school. You may have to do some homework, but you can also use the fact that it is a resting day as an excuse. 
• The first Easter Day is always on a Sunday! This means that there is no excuse to NOT eat those delicious chocolate eggs. 
• I never believed that it is a coincidence, that MacDonald’s sells lovely ice creams named after Sundays.
•  Saturday nights are always busy, so you just got yourself the best excuse to stay in bed until 2 p.m.
•  Johnny Depp was born at a Sunday. I mean, this might be the one of the best things ever happened. 
• The first crossword puzzle ever was made on a Sunday. Nowadays there are crossword puzzles in every newspaper, every day. 

And of course, one of the best thing about a Sunday is that you can spend whole your day with stupid & fun things you find here on our blog.

 What are you going to do tomorrow?
