Plant friends


There is no doubt that succulents are the best plants around. Especially in this warm California weather, they are by far the easiest to take care of, last a long time, and are so unique. My sister and I love to craft, so this was a fun activity to do together. She was amazing enough to get all the supplies, which mainly came from Home Depot. All you really need is some soil, charcoal or rocks (keeps soil fresh), sand, succulents, a glass container, and whatever else you would like to add. I used shells, drift wood, sea glass, and colored rocks/beads. What's so cool about making a terrarium is that even though everyone is using the same materials, each person's turns out differently in their own unique way. I love expressing my creativity and, at the same time, creating something beautiful that I will treasure for a while. 

Gardening is so therapeutic- it allows you to get close to nature and appreciate its beauty. I have little plant friends all over my room, and this is one is already my favorite. I'll always be reminded of this day with my sister. We laughed at the fact that it was so hot outside that we had to go inside and turn on the AC in the middle of November. We screamed in horror when the thorns from the cacti pierced our fingers (we should've known better). We sipped on cappuccinos and and enjoyed each other's company, and that's all I could've asked for. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! <3 xo
