Reaching 300,000 of Australia's Wise and Wonderful Every Day

Thursday Edition | PM

Good afternoon Member

G'day members! How is your Thursday shaping up? I (Dani) spent mine catching up on laundry, as it’s getting dangerously close to being an overwhelming pile. Luckily, I was able to pass the time watching amazing videos like this talented guitarist who came up with a spectacular cover of ‘Careless Whisper’ using everyday items. Quite creative, eh? Have you also had moments when you had to be inventive? Share it here. For now, let’s take a look at the latest stories this afternoon.

People have been painting their nails for 5,000 years. While modern manicures emerged in the 19th century, Ancient China has been painting nails since 3000 BCE, using small brushes.
