Daily Harvest meal kit offers bland flavors at unreasonable costs – “Daily Harvest” is a vegan meal delivery service that provides healthy frozen meals made primarily of fruits and vegetables. The delicious-looking advertised photos and first-box coupon drew me to try it out. As convenient as the meals were to make, their consistently bland flavors stopped me from renewing my subscription. Daily Harvest allows the user to pick from around 100 plant-based menu items to create a box filled with a minimum of six items and a maximum of 26 items. After using my coupon, my box of nine meals totaled $37.91. I thought that was a fair price for the amount of food, and I was extremely impressed with their company’s packaging. My box arrived on time and it was lined with thick sheets of dry ice which kept my food completely frozen. In terms of shipping and delivery, Daily Harvest could not have done better. (from The Maneater)

But the ‘bland’ brick exterior is hiding an incredible interior that will make your jaw drop when you see it. Robert, a retired decorator, moved into the terraced property in 2003 and has since spent more than a decade transforming his home. The 74-year-old has covered the walls in Renaissance paintings inspired by the Sistine Chapel and after 18 years of hard work, he’s finally finished after running out of space. (from The Mirror)
