We Gone Be Learning 📚:

🔥 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!
