Spanish Word of the Day:✨ “Hastío”

Random Fact of the Day: 🧠Your nose can remember 50,000+ different scents, but you can’t verbally describe most of them. The brain stores smells in the same region that handles memory and emotion, which is why one whiff can take you instantly back to a specific moment or person.

📝 Sticky Note: “You won’t recognize the turning point while you’re in it.

But months later, you’ll thank yourself for not giving up on the days that felt impossible.”

Spanish Word of the Day:✨ “Amanecer” (ah-mah-neh-SEHR)

Random Fact of the Day: 🧠 Humans are the only species that blush.

📝 Sticky Note: Most people will never get it. They’ll say you’re doing too much. That you need to slow down. That you’ve become too intense. But that’s because they’ve never wanted something bad enough. They’ve never paid a price that emptied them out just to do it all again. They’ve never stood at the edge and still had the delusion to say “I’ll Go Further”.

(mah-droo-GAR)

🔥 Spanish Word of the Day: “Pícante” (pee-KAHN-teh)

💬 Fun fact:

In many Latin cultures, pícante isn’t just about flavor — it’s an attitude. Someone “pícante” has spice in their personality: confident, playful, and a little dangerous.

Fact: Humans shed about 600,000 particles of skin every hour — that’s roughly 1.5 pounds of skin a year.

Basically, you’re walking around covered in your own “invisible snowstorm” of dead skin cells all the time. And yes, most of it ends up in dust… including the stuff that ends up in your bed and on your clothes. Humans are basically shedding factories without even realizing it.

📝 Sticky Note: You must believe that you are better than most people!
