Happy Earth Day, friends!

To celebrate, I've started off today's Quarantine Today with a piece on food waste hacks that'll help you save the 🌎 and stretch your hard-earned moolah. 

Be sure to also check out that interesting piece on the vegan TikTok star with a major cult following. It's a fascinating story of taking a risk, hard work, and being at the right place, at the right time. If you're looking for some LOLs, check out the giant baby that everyone is obsessed with, and TV comedies that are criminally underrated, but oh-so good. FriYAY is only a few days away, so hold tight!

Whitney's piece has a ton of cool tips n' tricks to recycle (and up-cycle) some of the food waste that we humans produce. Candied orange peels sound like such a cool project that I might end up trying out tonight. I also never thought of turning orange peels into candles. Ingenious!
