Upscale Your Plants
Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your home — and your indoor plants deserve a little refresh too! If you’re looking for a quick and inexpensive way to elevate your plant game, I’ve got a simple trick that makes a big difference: clear thrifted plates.
That’s right. For anywhere between 50 cents and $2, you can thrift beautiful clear plates that will instantly give your plants a chic new look. All you need to do is swap out those boring plastic saucers for these elegant glass pieces, and ta-da! Instant upgrade.
The beauty of this hack lies in its simplicity. The clear plates let the focus stay on your gorgeous greenery while adding a polished touch to your plant display. Plus, it’s a sustainable option that gives new life to secondhand treasures. Win-win!
So, next time you’re at the thrift store, keep an eye out for those glass gems. Your plants will thank you, and your space will feel a little more refined — all without breaking the bank. Happy upscaling!

Growing food indoors with Miracle-Gro
*This post is sponsored by Miracle-Gro but all opinions and obsessions are my own. :)
Hey guys! Today I’m going to show you how we have been growing kale inside of our living room for the past month with the Miracle-Gro Twelve Indoor Growing System. You’re going to see how we started with four tiny seedlings (pictured above) and in four weeks how they have EXPLODED with growth! We already use Miracle-Gro soil for our house plants so it was a no brainer to give the indoor growing system a try. Spoiler alert, we are obsessed!
The Miracle-Gro Twelve Indoor Growing System allows you to grow fresh food year round. It’s a hydroponic based system which means the plants actually grow in water allowing them to grow faster than plants grown in soil. Growing our own food is perfect for us since we cook from home several times a week and because Zach is vegan, leafy greens are a big hit in our house. You can grow arugula, kale, swiss chard, leaf lettuce, mustard greens, parsley, cilantro, mint, basil, oregano, dill and sage - yum!
Putting the unit together is super easy and took less than 15 minutes. The box comes with everything you need and includes a book with step by step directions. You can either grow from a seed, a seedling (like we did!) or from a plant that’s already been started for you, like a Bonnie Plant you can pick up from the store. You just add the plant nutrition directly to the water and it’s good to go for four weeks. The most convenient part of all is the app. It allows you to change the light schedule (ours is 6am-8pm), reminds you when it’s time to add more plant food, tells you the water level and the light will gently blink on the unit if you need more water, and it tells you what date you can start harvesting.
Step 1 : Fill with water.

Step 2: Add plants. Step 3: Add plant food.

Not only are you growing food inside of your house, but the unit also doubles as furniture. Another option would be to purchase the stacking kit which lets you put two growing system on top of one another so you can grow even more! What would you grow in your Miracle-Gro Twelve Indoor Growing system?
