Ray Smith from the United Kingdom is a romantic kind of guy. So when he decided that he was going to proposed to his girlfriend Claire, he knew he had to do something uniquely romantic to really wow her and knock her off her feet. And he did just that! In a way that no one would have expected… Least of all Claire! We’ve seen some cool wedding proposals here at Daily Digest, but this one might just go down as the best. Every day for 148 days, Ray posed for a selfie with his love. And in each picture…
We didn’t know about this… How about you? Did you know that there is a special iPhone feature that can save your life during an emergency??? Yep. Julia Thompson, a hospital employee, posted about it on social media recently and we thought it was a great thing to share. It could save your life. Or the life or someone you love… Here’s what she says: “Working in a public hospital I appreciate many patients come in and we have had no way of knowing who they are or how to contact their next of kin. And their phones are locked!…
Clemmons Elementary School, North Carolina. The students here just can’t keep still. But far from scolding them for it, the teachers encourage it. Why? Well, it’s all part of the school’s new ‘Riding & Reading’ program. Kids nowadays often spend far too long being sedentary and don’t get enough exercise. So this school has come up with an awesome idea – exercise bikes! It might sound weird, but they’ve not hooked the bikes up to generators to power the town or anything (though that’s an idea…). The kids actually enjoy the workout. And exercise has been shown to help concentration. It’s…
Roan Mountain, Tennessee. Deep in the snowy Appalachian mountains a couple are getting married. It’s a low key affair, but because the surroundings are so beautiful, it was always going to be a spectacular day. And it gets better… The happy couple have ditched the idea of the traditional wedding photographer. Instead, they got their DOG to film it all. Yep, really! Addie and Marshall Burnette ‘hired’ their husky Ryder to capture the events of the day (he didn’t charge much – just a few treats…). By affixing a GoPro camera to him, he was able to enjoy himself in…
Adelaide, Australia. A GIANT Great White Shark has been spotted near Marino Rocks and the magnificent beast is thought to be up to SEVEN METERS long! The incredible creature was seen and snapped for posterity and it really is an outstanding specimen. The popular Facebook page Shark Alerts South Australia first posted about the enormous creature yesterday saying this: “This just sent in of the massive 7 meter White spotted off Marino Rocks this afternoon from the Westpac Heli. It’s the biggest I’ve ever seen as a crew member in the Westpac chopper, we put it down as 7m the photo really doesn’t do…
‘How do you cure insomnia?’ It’s a question that will weigh heavy on your mind if you have serious trouble falling asleep. Insomnia can really be a big drag. You’re awake all night and tired all day. It can affect your work and family life, impacting your concentration and all sorts. So combating sleeplessness is vital. And we’ve found a great way of doing it.

Proud daddy Don Swift and his little baby daughter Harper Swift just love hanging out and having fun. Harper’s too small to talk or really understand a huge amount of what they do, but they still have an awesome time regardless. She’s a happy little giggling bundle of joy who just loves life. Here’s how positive she is – she even likes rain! This little rugrat has seen rain before, but never crazy warm summer rain like this. Her daddy’s showing it to her and she absolutely loves it. So much so that Don decides they should go outside and…
Middletown, New Jersey. The last time you’ll have seen Jon Stewart, he’ll have been saying his goodbyes to his adoring fans on The Daily Show. The hotseat’s since been filled by South African comic Trevor Noah, but what’s Jon been up to since then? Well, not much in entertainment circles, that’s for sure. He’s set up a animal sanctuary for abused farmyard animals! That’s right, he’s swapped jokes for the farm. With his beloved wife Tracey, the two of them have bought land and are taking in baldy-treated animals like sheep, cows, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys and pigs. “I am truly just…
CNA English languages schools are everywhere in Brazil. They have 580 centers around the Portuguese-speaking country, all dedicated to teaching over half a million pupils how to speak English. It’s a big operation and they’re happy to look at all ways to reach students and teach them. And their new idea might just be their best idea yet! Not only does it help Brazilians learn to speak English, it helps older lonely Americans feel useful and stimulates friendships. It’s a ‘speaking exchange’ and we think it’s a truly fantastic idea, we really do. A student connects with an elderly American…
What do you use to clean your teeth? A toothbrush and toothpaste, right? Sure. We all do. But is it really the best thing to use, toothpaste? It contains fluoride, after all. And there are a few cons to an intake of fluoride. So what’s the alternative? Well, it’s something you probably have kicking around the back of your cupboard from that time you tried to cook a curry from scratch… Turmeric! Seems strange, doesn’t it? An orange powdered spice as toothpaste. But bear with us. Mixed up with coconut oil and peppermint oil, you’ve got yourself a gloopy mixture…
