Fruity Fun Fact

Did you know that you should eat fruit on an empty stomach in the morning because it takes a long time to digest? Eating fruit later in the day or with other foods actually creates a toxic acidity increase and it is more likely to rot than be digested while still having quality nutrients.

You can read up on more nutritiously shocking facts in the book Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin.

Third Degree Glass Factory

I'm kind of bummed out about this next fact but while visiting St. Louis I found out about this amazing little place and didn't get to visit it. Third Degree Glass Factory has classes on glass blowing, kiln working, and more, its own gallery, and also holds events (some free) each month with bands, food, and fun for all ages. You can even bring in a bottle of your favorite drink and have them melt it down into a plate for 10$.

While I was down there they had a free event at night with a bluegrass band, bbq, and glass blowing artists for entertainment. Children and adults could make? or have made? a paperweight or give 10$ for a plate.

I really wish I had had the time to go to this event or at least check out the factory. You can sign up for classes or rent space to practice your art for a practical and reasonable fee. I wish I could find a place in Minnesota like this. I might have to put in the time to hunt down some glass artists and see if there is a factory or studio where I could begin learning the art.
