Hello there, members! It’s good to see you on this fine Thursday morning. I (Vella) hope you’re all up and ready to seize the day. Before we dive into this newsletter, why not fix yourself a nice cuppa? Don’t worry; I’ll wait… Are you ready? The first item on the list is the answer to yesterday’s riddle!
Often held but never touched, always wet but never rusts, often bites but seldom bit, to use me well, you must have wit. What am I?
And the answer is your tongue! Excellent job to all of you who sent in the correct answer! As expected, you get a shout-out at the end of this newsletter.
Next up is our Fascinating Fact of the day! 'You're glowing' is a phrase usually used to compliment someone who looks particularly radiant. It’s true—you do shine, literally! Humans glow or emit light on their own, but it is a thousand times weaker than our eyes can see. The most intense glow can be observed during the late afternoon, specifically around the lower region of your face. Fascinating, eh?
