The Chiquita Banana Song Lyrics If you’re here looking for the Chiquita Banana Song lyrics, you’re in luck. Here you go! I’m Chiquita banana and I’ve come to say Bananas have to ripen in a certain way When they are fleck’d with brown and have a golden hue Bananas taste the best and are best for you You can put them in a salad – You can put them in a pie-aye Any way you want to eat them – It’s impossible to beat them But, bananas like the climate of the very, very tropical equator So you should never put bananas in the refrigerator....

Now, Letterfolk has reimagined how we decorate (and redecorate) our homes again with the launch of its placemats. The new Letterfolk Placemats feature the same hexagon tile design as the beloved Tile Mats, with removable caps in a range of colors that you can easily arrange however you like on the mat to make images, designs, and words. Much smaller than the original Tile Mat—the size of a traditional placemat, as you’d guess based on the name, and shaped like a stretched-out hexagon—the Placemat allows you to customize your table with colorful decorations that you can rearrange any time you want....

Very Berry Smoothie Bowl Recipe Ever since I met with a nutritionist last year who told me that it’s better to eat your smoothies than drink them, I’ve been a huge fan of the new smoothie bowl trend.

Smoothie bowls are a game changer and honestly I almost never finish an entire one because I’m full by about the time I’m 3/4 of the way done....

Chatting about your loved ones is as inevitable as wrapping presents at the last minute. If you think you’re above gossip, the data says you’re not.

The researchers listened to the conversations of 467 people for several days—captured by recording devices—and learned that most of the gossip was neutral, rather than negative or positive....

This winter, as I head out to a top skiing destination for three months of snow, my cold-weather packing list—and suitcase room—are crucial to my comfort in the low temperatures. Even with renting the main equipment (skis, poles, helmet, boots), ski gear is staggeringly expensive, so I took extra care in researching my purchases, saving up, and investing in pieces over time. While considering the home goods, apparel, fitness gear, tech, and more that would drastically improve my standard of living yet still fit in the 50-lbs capacity of a hardshell, here’s what made the cut for my winter living in a ski town....
