Blossoms

Did you know …

That you can give yourself a nice, rosy nose by regularly pinching the bridge and tip of your snout? It’s true!

Early US president George Washington made a habit of doing this. Excessive alcohol consumption can have the same effect (that is to say, breaking or inflaming the tiny capillaries beneath your nose skin), but Washington only ever drank pondwater. A red nose was very much in fashion at the time, because it reminded people of . . . well, whatever. In any case, GW’s pondwater gave him diarrhea (also in fashion) but not a red nose, so he made all efforts to keep his capillaries broken.

Try it out?
