The Surprising Benefits of Eating Soup—Anytime, Any Meal!
Soup is often thought of as a comforting meal during colder months, but did you know it can be a nutritious, delicious, and versatile option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Whether you’re aiming for a light, easy-on-the-digestive-system meal or looking to stay full and satisfied, soup fits the bill perfectly.
1. Gentle on Your Digestion
Soup is easy to digest, making it a great meal choice if you want to give your digestive system a bit of a rest. A cup of creamy mushroom soup, for example, with mild flavor and a few croutons, can be filling without overwhelming your stomach.
2. Hunger Control
Soup helps keep hunger at bay, with many people feeling fuller for up to four hours after eating a serving. This makes it an excellent option to prevent overeating between meals.
3. Budget-Friendly and Nutritious
Soup is inexpensive to make and can be packed with nutritious ingredients. For instance, a vegetable soup can be made with simple, affordable items like chicken bullion, celery, onions, mushrooms, and bok choy. Here’s a glance at approximate costs:
These ingredients combined will create several servings of soup, costing roughly $0.75 to $1.00 per cup per person, depending on portion size and ingredient prices. If you do a Soup detox for the month, your grocery bill will be for one person $30.00 for soup and around $30 for breakfast coffee, milk and eggs. Your protein in the soup may be in the mushrooms if you purchase shiitake or oyster or portobello.
Properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, most homemade soups last up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze soup for longer storage—up to 2-3 months—making it easy to prepare meals ahead of time.

DIY Holiday Joy: Create Free Artwork as a Thoughtful Christmas Present
The holiday season is all about giving, but gifts don’t always have to come with a price tag. This year, why not spread joy and festive cheer by creating free artwork to gift as a Christmas present? It’s a creative, heartfelt way to connect with others, brighten someone’s day, and celebrate the spirit of giving without spending a dime.
Inspired by the global movement known as Free Art Friday, where artists leave small pieces of art in public places for strangers to find, you can embrace this idea during the holidays. The concept is simple: create art, then leave it somewhere for someone to discover — no strings attached. It’s a wonderful way to share beauty and kindness in your community.
1. Choose Your Medium
You don’t need to be a professional artist. Your artwork can be anything from a colorful drawing, a hand-painted card, a decorated postcard, or even a festive collage made from recycled materials. Use supplies you already have at home – markers, crayons, paints, or digital art printed on paper.
2. Add a Personal Touch
Include a warm message, a holiday greeting, or an inspiring quote on your artwork. It adds meaning and makes the gift truly special.
3. Prepare Your Artwork for Giving
To protect your art, especially if it will be left outside, consider placing it inside a clear plastic sleeve or a simple homemade envelope. You want the art to stay safe until it’s found or received.
4. How to Gift Your Artwork
In a world where commercialism can often overshadow the holiday spirit, gifting free artwork is a refreshing reminder that kindness, creativity, and thoughtfulness are the greatest presents of all. It is also a beautiful way to build community connection, share smiles, and spread light during the festive season.
This holiday, let your creativity shine and surprise someone with a gift from the heart — a free piece of art. It’s simple, meaningful, and sure to make the season brighter for both you and your community. Ready to create and give? The joy of free art is just a brushstroke away!
As the New Year approaches, many of us are thinking about fresh starts, new goals, and healthier habits. But before diving into resolutions and detox plans, there’s a simple yet powerful mini goal you can set right now: establishing a weekend cleaning schedule that begins on Friday. This small step can make your transition into the New Year smoother, clearer, and more energized. Here’s why starting your weekend cleaning on Friday is the perfect preparation for starting January with a fresh mindset.
When you think about getting ready for the New Year, it’s often about mental resets and goal setting. But what if your environment could help amplify that? Cleaning your space not only declutters your home but also clears mental space, reducing stress and setting the tone for a calm, focused new beginning.
Instead of waiting for January 1st to overhaul your life, try committing to a manageable two weekend goal: dedicate time each Friday, Saturday and Sunday to cleaning and organizing your home. This two week goal is achievable, begins a positive habit for the weekends and gives you a head start on entering the New Year organized and practicing a healthy weekend habit.
A New Year’s recharge doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By setting the goal of cleaning on the weekends starting on Friday, you’re laying the groundwork for a healthier, more organized, and motivated year ahead.
Start this Friday. Welcome the New Year with clarity and calm. Your future self will thank you. Ready to begin? Clean, clear, and celebrate!
