No one likesa watered-down margarita, glass of wine, Aperol Spritz, or iced coffee, which is exactly why creators on TikTok have generously shared an idea to resolve that issue. Enter: flavored ice cubes, the ultimate hack to your persistent beverage dilemma.
The trend has exploded across the app lately, the hashtag #flavoredicecubes has over 600,000 views, while top videos have acquired over a million likes. This one showing the creator’s infused ice drawer has 2.3 million alone. While the process itself is relatively easy (just fill up your trays and toss them in the freezer), there are a variety of ways to go about it. You can try something simple and to the point like frozen-coffee cubes for your morning cold brew or orange juice-flavored cubes for your brunch mimosa.
“I need this because watered-down coffee is not the one,” a user commented, while another added, “This is life changing.”

Before you explore the recipes, you’ll want to collect the necessary supplies. Naturally, you’ll need an ice tray or molds and your desired ingredients or add-ins. Think about what drink the ice will be flavoring, and brainstorm your contents accordingly. If you’re starting with a straightforward beverage like sparkling water as the base, you’ll be able to have a more creative approach with the cubes: toss in fruits, juice, or even edible flowers for an added visual aesthetic.
If you’re looking to avoid the age-old watered-down cocktail problem, think about your flavored ice cubes in the context of troubleshooting: Aperol ice cubes for your Aperol Spritz, frozen wine for your chilled sparkling rosé, or maple syrup cubes for your favorite Manhattan, for example.

It’s been said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You’ve probably heard that trope a time or two—but the process of actually making said breakfast when you’re fighting to wake up and rushing to get out the door isn’t always easy. It’s understandable to get in the habit of swinging through a Starbucks drive-thru rather than standing at the stove.
When you go to a fast-casual restaurant for lunch, what’s your go-to option? Chances are it’s some sort of bowl. If you go to Cava, it’s going to be a mediterranean-inspired bowl with some sort of grain like brown rice at the base, veggies, hummus, and lots of tzatziki. If you go to Chipotle, chances are you’re reaching for a burrito bowl with brown rice, beans, a protein, cheese, and a hefty dollop of guac. But who says you have to add a grain base to your lunch bowl in order for it to be considered both fulfilling and healthy? If you’re over this trend or just want to try something new, let us introduce you to a new and life-changing concept straight from TikTok: cheese bowls for lunch.

There's nothing like having a home garden to make you begin to appreciate the trials and tribulations of the farmers who grow our food.

This is true especially when adhering to organic protocols that don't rely on quick yet potentially harmful solutions, such as herbicides, pesticides, and conventional fertilizers.
Water is essential for life. Your plants need water to grow and thrive, and more during the hotter months. Ever wondered about catching rain to use during times when there is less or no rain? Installing a rain barrel allows you to do exactly that: collect and store a natural resource for later use. Harvesting rainwater has many benefits from saving money on your water bill to utilizing what freely falls from the sky for times when raindrops aren’t so abundant.
