Ever been to the best beach in the world? Florida's Siesta Key, near Sarasota     (TIL)

The only beach in the world made of 99% quartz crystal sand. Nobody knows why quartz cryatal sand even exists at a beach where there is no native quartz to be found.

Very white sand that never gets hard and never gets hot to the touch in summer. Sandy beaches always get too hot in summer sun, but not this quartz crystal sand. And it squeeks when you walk on it.

Just found out that a dear friend lives there, so in the spring, I'm gonna visit this wonderful place. Oh, and here is the beach live cam. Be sure to watch the live cam again on Sunday evening and see the unique weekly gathering.

I know you are scratching your heads, or cradling your vaginas, asking yourself ” What the hell is a vagina whisperer?” Well, my friends, according to @TruthfulMommy a vagina whisperer is one who understands the vagina, soothes the vagina, makes the vagina happy and can whisper to a fetus to come towards the light.16 Oct 2011 [Library Service]
