How plants can bring you + your home to life

I used to be a terrible plant killer. Shameful, I know. But i’ve changed! The thing is, when I wasn’t taking great care of my plants, in some ways I wasn’t taking the best care of myself. I didn’t have that need to nurture something yet. But over time, as I moved through my 20’s and 30’s and now turning 40. My decor + style consistently has evolved, as my self-care routine did as well. I became a proud plant mom, many, many times over.

Now every room of my apartment has plants, each one with its own little needs and character. I’ve gotten to know them and literally talk to them! What i’ve noticed is that when I’m at my best of consistently caring for my plants through routines (watering, clipping off dead leaves, making sure they get the light they need) - I would notice myself in a solid self-care groove too.

Not only do plants bring style, texture, shapes and beautiful pottery and character to our homes. They bring energy and life to a space, especially as we tune into nature as well as ourselves.
