It's that time of the year when we're all thinking the same thing: what if I moved into a secluded rural cottage with the love of my life where we could bake bread and connect with nature ? Something about fall makes you want to be at one with the natural world, no matter how much of a city slicker you are. I want some leaves to crunch under my shoes outside of my rustic farmhouse, and I want it now! Nature allows your mind to relax and think about things in a whole new way. Nobody tries to sel…

The crazy thing about animals when you break it down is that they are truly just freaky little guys. It’s wild that we walk the earth with them but at the same time it just makes sense. some animals like spiders and aquatic life are the creepiest closest things we’ve got to aliens on earth

With the way it can cheer up a room, it’s hard to find anything to hate about the humble houseplant. Admittedly, the care of our leafy friends can be baffling, and they often have a higher mortality rate than our unfortunate childhood hamsters . However, it’s all worth it when you see that tiny bit of exciting new growth that you both worked so hard for.
