The arctic temperatures and icy winds have made room for some videos showing nature’s fantastic skill.

The Boiling Water Challenge is though risky, it looks beautiful when solidifies into the air.

The week just ended right. Don’t you agree? Meghan Markle has only made stand-out appearances to wherever she goes. The recent move of the Duchess of Sussex writing empowering messages on the bananas for the sex workers in Bristol, has left the internet in happy tears. “You are strong,” “you are loved,” “you are special”, and many more positive words were written on the yellow peels.
That’s it for this week! We agree, there were a lot of videos going viral on social media, but the above ones have been loved the most by the netizens. To end, we hope that the weather in the United States stop being too harsh on the residents and let them begin their daily chores and also anticipate that the sex workers in Bristol have got Markle’s messages right.
