FLORAL FUN
Enjoying a tiny, caffeinated cuppa in front of our former shop on the West Highland Way. That repurposed chest of drawers / planter was one of the best ‘Pinspirations’ ever. Just look at those happy flowers popping like actual popcorn. The key to keeping the planter around for more than a year of bipolar Scottish weather? Yacht varnish. It required yearly coats with tons of that sticky - tedious to work with but necessary - stuff. When living through the ever-changing elements here, all painted wooden furniture living outside should have protection.
THINK ANTI-ACNE & ANTI-AGING: ALOE VERA - A GORGEOUS INGREDIENT & PLANT TO ALWAYS KEEP AROUND.
I’ve opted to lose myself in some books (MUCH LOVE to you Stephen King) and TV shows (MUCH LOVE to Netflix & Stranger Things). One of the Stephen King books I read is titled: “Insomnia”. And yes, I have had a couple of bouts of insomnia. As you can probably deduce, I have not gotten as much beauty rest as I probably should have. Which all of this stuff combined, oddly brings me to this post about Aloe Vera. L.O.L.
