Be realistic about the amount of time you want to spend caring for your new officemate. Adding a plant to your workspace should be a source of joy and not another task on your to-do list. Caring for plants can improve your self-esteem and help you prioritize your own self-care, but only if caring for your plant is manageable. Snake plants, spider plants, and succulents require very little care. Other plants may require pruning, repotting, and consistent water monitoring to thrive. Plants such as croton, a tropical plant, require lots of humidity, and ficus trees will need yearly repotting to thrive. Make sure that the plant you choose matches your desired level of interactions.

Keeping a tropical plant indoors can lift your spirits and add exotic beauty and charm to your home this winter.

Holiday decorations can add a beautiful touch and bring much-needed seasonal beauty to your home this holiday season. Decorating our homes is a big part of the holidays for many of us every year, but it may feel especially important during this pandemic holiday. 

Make Unique Holiday Crafts

Instead of spending lots of money on generic, store-bought decorations, this year, try creating something unique and beautiful using nothing but nature, a few household items, and maybe a little hot glue or wire. Making use of the abundant and beautiful nature surrounding us here in the UP is a great way to brighten up your home this season and bring the festivities to you.

Holiday gift shopping can be exciting, but it can also be stressful and overwhelming. Choosing the perfect gifts for your friends and loved ones is often one of the most fun things about the holidays. After all, there’s nothing like seeing their face light up when they unwrap your carefully chosen gift. Unfortunately, deciding on a gift can sometimes feel a little hurried and difficult, especially once you have worked your way down to the last few people on your list. While selecting the perfect present for some can feel like a breeze, there are always a few who make you draw a blank.

This is the time of year for social events and family gatherings. Trying to find the appropriate gift to convey your gratitude that you aren’t doing all the cooking and cleaning can be a bit of a challenge. What kind of wine do they like? Do they want a candle that smells like “s’mores roasting on a fire in the woods of Nantucket” or hand towels with beach Santa? Make it easy on yourself this year, and give the perfect gift—flowers. Everyone appreciates the beauty of a fresh bouquet or a plant they can enjoy for years.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and it’s time to start planning your holiday dinner. The holidays are a time for creating a dinner that shows those gathered around the table how special and grateful we are to have them with us. That means that the setting should be just as memorable as the food. Creating a unique Thanksgiving centerpiece for your table is an opportunity to make this year’s family gathering a truly special occasion. Here are some ideas to inspire you.
