The Importance of Defining Your Brand Personality
Branding Tip
My dad gardens more than anyone I know. He is always outside planting new things, repotting, rearranging and watering. Growing up, my yard was basically a jungle. Unfortunately, I did not inherit a green thumb from him. I’m VERY bad with plants, but I finally found a type that I haven’t killed (well not yet, at least)! Air Plants (also known as Tillandsia) don’t require soil to grow, only moderate light and a good soak every week or so—very low-maintenance! They are kinda weird-looking, but these little guys have so much personality! I find them so unique and beautiful!
Once I realized that I could keep these guys alive, I became obsessed with making little terrariums for them. They are super easy, affordable and very versatile. I made some for hanging and some for sitting flat on a table or shelf.
MATERIALS:
1: container – a glass globe or any glass container (mason jars also work great)
2: base material – moss, gravel or glass pebbles
3: plants – it is nice to have a few different sizes to add interest (I got mine here)
DIRECTIONS:
Once you have your materials gathered, just cover the bottom of your container with the base material and add your air plants on top. Told ya it was easy! Feel free to get creative with it, you can really add whatever you like to the terrarium, I added some special shells and rocks that I collected from a few vacations.

My favorite thing about August is watching my baby brother get a year older. Or rather, REALIZING that he got a year older!
He is turning 17 this year and is a senior in High School.
He had a close call this year and had a major surgery and this year is especially wonderful that hes healthy and well and I’m so proud of him!
I like that fall is just around the corner and I can dust off my cold weather recipes!
That Fall is coming soon!
My favorite thing about August is back to school!!! I love air plants and I have a cool fossil rock from the beach that has a hole in it and I stuck an air plant in the hole! LOVE!

My husband’s birthday is in August, and so is our wedding anniversary!
My birthday is August!
i definitely needed more ways to put some green into my home in time for august. i only got as far as bamboo and then hoping that maybe my lavender wouldn’t die. the air plant is much more sustainable, lol! my favorite part about august, like others, is that it is the beginning of an end. i could do without this 90 degree heat 🙂
I love summer evenings sitting on the front porch.
Such a chic and simple idea! I love it!!!! I have to try this DIY out I know my mom will love it. 🙂

I live in a college town so August is when all the kids come back to Chico. Although I start despising how crowded the town gets, all the traffic, all the people riding their bikes on the wrong side of the road, etc. I love the “life” it brings. And I love people watching, hah
Picking fruits!
