I have a few plants that needed to be transferred to a larger pot so they can have more space to grow!
Check out my video of me repotting my plant babies and I also share some facts about these houseplants too!

When I get flowers as a gift, I always want them to last forever because they’re so beautiful! But then I thought maybe there is a way to make them last! So I did some research and found out that I can preserve the flowers by pressing them!
To press flowers, you need parchment or wax paper, fresh flowers, 1 piece of copy paper (optional) and a few heavy books.
Open a book that has a lot of pages and lay a large piece of parchment paper on a page in the book. Half of the paper should be laying flat on the book page and the other half should be loose.
Take 2-3 flowers (depending on the size of them) and lay them carefully onto the parchment paper that’s in the page of the book.
Then carefully fold the other half of the parchment paper over the flowers so that they are enclosed in the parchment paper. The flowers shouldn’t be touching any part of the book. Then close the book and lay other heavy books on top of it. This will allow the flowers to flatten.
Leave them for about 3 weeks or until the flowers dry out. I would say to check the flowers maybe once a week to see their progress. I pressed a lot of flowers but some of them didn’t survive because some of them were discolored or some of the petals came off of the flower and couldn’t be used.
Then you’ll take 2 picture frames, I used 8×10, and only use the glass part of the frames. I used a white piece of copy paper and placed it on the glass but this is optional. Then you’ll lay the pressed flowers delicately on the glass. After that, you will take the other glass frame and lay it over top of the flowers and secure the frame with those pieces that are around the perimeter of the frame.
And now the project is complete!
Check out my YouTube video to see the result of my pressed flowers! =)
Hey y’all! In my previous post, I mentioned that I’m working on some creative projects. Well I’m finally ready to share that with you!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I am a plant mom and I just love caring for plants! Those are my babies are my top priority until the real babes come along lol!
I used to have an Aloe Vera plant back when I lived in NYC, but unfortunately it died! Yes even plant moms sometimes lose their plant babies, happens to the best of us lol.
Now that I’m in my new home, I decided to get another Aloe Vera plant!
Aloe Vera is beneficial for:
-treating sunburn
-improves digestion
-has antibacterial & antioxidant properties
-improves dry skin
-purifies the air
Check out the video clip of me repotting my Aloe Vera plant! You can find it on my Instagram page here!
Also feel free to follow me and say hello and I will do the same! =)
Do you have any Aloe Vera plants or have you used Aloe Vera before?
