Indoor plants are a great addition to your home, they not only decorate a room, but can also help purify your air, benefitting your health. Here are some tips to care for your indoor plants: 🌿- Some plants need more water than others; research the type of plant you have to determine it's prefered conditions. 🌿 - For easy succulent care, place an ice cube in the pot to melt every week or so. 🌿 - Select a pot that has good drainage, too much sitting water can cause root rot or mold to form on your plant. 🌿 - Place your plant in a sunny spot and enjoy!

This April, we’re celebrating Earth Day all month long. While we may not be able to gather together on the 22nd, that doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate from home. This month, we’ll be sharing tips, activities and projects you can do from home to help nurture our planet and foster your connection with nature. 🌿🌷🌎 • •

The first tip is to start composting! Now is the perfect time to set up your home to recycle unused food scraps. You can make your own countertop compost bin (check our story) or purchase one through the 🔗link in our bio. Happy composting!

The plastic bag ban is now in effect in New York S

The plastic bag ban is now in effect in New York State! ♻️ •
Typically, over 23 billion plastic bags are used each year in NYS. The Bag Waste Reduction law plans to combat this problem by encouraging consumers to #BYOBagNY. •
Here are some important tips to note about the new law: 1. stores are not required to have bags for customers, 2. many stores will offer reusable bags available to purchase, 3. some stores will switch to paper bags. Your best bet is to purchase, or upcycle sturdy, reusable bags and take them with you wherever you shop. Keep them in your car, or by your front door to make sure you always have them on you. •
Remember, a minor lifestyle change can make a huge impact.
