Healthy Living: Houseplants
Even If you have a brown thumb!
My husband I believe in living a green life and supporting and promoting our environment, it is one of the things that drew us to being part of shaklee, a chance to get more involved in the environment. We use reusable containers, beeswax wraps, we reduce and reuse before we recycle and we love nature, and now we have lush beautiful plants inside, helping us live a healthier life.
A few years ago I decided to buy a few plants and thought "Meh...for a few weeks or month they will be nice" and then they lived!!! Whhaaaatt????!!! And continued to live!! Since then I've learned to repot, sort of...fertilize, sort of....and they keep living! Wow!!! I did NOT have a green thumb.
Then I bought more and they lived too!! Now it's a thing!! Maybe my brown thumb is turning green! It's my color you know!
Houseplants are a great addition to your healthy living lifestyle.
Why bother? Why have house plants?
Studies show house plants improve your mood, and while we are all still stuck inside we could probably use it!
Plants release moisture vapor which can increase humidity in dry rooms or houses
Plants can remove up to 87% of harmful VOCs in the air (to learn more about VOC's check out my husband's awesome guest post)
