[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_text_separator title=”Welcome to This Day in Barrington History” title_align=”separator_align_left”][vc_column_text]Welcome to Tuesday, January 12, 2021 and Day 12 of 365! You’ll find our stories of the day – past, present & future (events) – right here on today’s DailyPage.
Because every day has its own rhythm, we’re sharing a song of the day here at 365Barrington.com.
Today’s features debut single, ‘Wannabe’, by British girl group the Spice Girls. Why? Well, because Mel C (a.k.a. “Sporty Spice”) was born on this day in history, January 12th, 1974! Released by Virgin in June, 1996, ‘Wannabe’ scored The Spice Girls the 1996 UK No.1 & 1997 US No.1 single spots. Happy bday, Sporty Spice!

Not All Produce Is Created Equal. 🥦🍓
Our food system is flooded with pesticides — many linked to hormone disruption, neurological damage, and even cancer.
Here’s the good news: you can dramatically reduce your exposure by following the EWG’s Dirty Dozen & Clean 15 lists:
🍓 Dirty Dozen → Fruits & veggies with the highest pesticide residues.
✅ Whenever possible, choose organic for these.
✨ But remember: even conventionally grown produce is still better than ultra-processed foods.
🥑 Clean 15 → Produce with minimal pesticide residue — typically safe to buy conventional.
💧 Pro tip: Always rinse all produce well, even those with a rind like watermelon!
