Because I love pineapple, but also because I was nervous about micro planing a smaller fruit đđ As a texture girlie I can tell you that this 1000% hits the spot!

When the weather outside is too hot, it's best to close the windows of your home and draw the shades or curtains.
But when you need more of a cooler boost, you can try placing a bowl or bucket of ice in front of a fan before turning it on. As the ice melts and evaporates, the fan will help circulate cooler air.
To really cool down, some say putting your bed sheets and pillowcases in the freezer for 15 minutes before bed will help cool your body temperature down.
