PLANTS

IMG_8487.jpeg

Introducing, the OKWUMABUA PLANT BIBLE! How many plants do you have in your home? We are at 36. We lost Tamika (plant) to mite last week so…

I like to name my plants. For me, this adds to how I care for them. Giving them names, sort of humanizes them a little. Does that make sense at all? For example, I have 4 Sansevieria plants. Sebastian, Sarah, Simon and Sandy. It make it easier for me if the plant name and species sort of match. Fergus is our resident fiddle leaf fig, but Fiona is also a fig. Just not a fiddle leaf. Phineaus is our philodendron and he tried to quit us, but I brought him back to life (he loves me now). Monica, our monstera, lost her tiny pot (small child collided with the table she was on) and after I moved her to a bigger pot, she thanked me so much by being the queen I knew she could be!

Plants are great for air purification and well-being. Give them a try and start with something small and care free like a sansevieria or succulent. Good luck!

DWELLINGS

Happy Wednesday! Here is a spot I really love spending time in. We sometimes forget how our spaces heal us and help us grow. Which spot in your home brings you joy?

I love my sitting room, the sun sets here and the orange light she leaves behind is magical. My children and I sometimes relax here and listen to music. The best conversations happen in this room. Hands down my fave place in my home.

The baby and I sit in the orange chair and watch the traffic, the bunnies, the crows, and all other forms of life go by. The windows really make this room great and the plants that live here love it as well!

Sutra Blowout Brush

BD-Brush_1000_480x480.png

Let’s face it, we all have no where to go but we still want to look good! The Sutra Blowout Brush is the answer to all your non outing prayers! This brush will give you great volume and a salon look and feel in very little time! You can even just use it on your fringe and the top of your head for those last minute zoom meetings or facetime hangs!

How does it work? Wash/condition your hair and fully towel dry. Apply the proper products for volume and longevity. Take a few minutes to brush your teeth, shave or just tidy up your space. Give your hair a few minutes to air dry and then start the process. Start at the nape and work your way to the top and fringe. Practice *over-directing for that extra volume and use sectioning clips to help isolate the section you are blowing.

You’ll be BLOWN away! ….see what I did there? The Sutra brush is currently on sale for 15% off the original price of $150. Head over to the store and check it out before they are all gone. Don’t forget to buy product as well. Protecting the hair is very important. Good luck!

*the act of pulling your hair in the opposite direction of where you want it, in order to create volume
