Happy Monday Jaderbugs! I am so excited that this week is a “short” week! I love weeks like this. When I was super duper little I used to dream that the weekends would turn into the “weekday’s” and that the weekday’s would turn into the “weekend”. I am sure you thought of that at one point. We would prolly be redonkulously poor because we would only work for two days! Let’s move on because we both know this will NOT happen!

If you are like me then you LOVE plants. I love plants too much. It really doesn’t take much to make me smile, as long as it’s real {{not some ole fake plastic thing}}, pretty and smells good. Another thing I love is house plants. It’s always a good feeling to look at something alive and growing in your personal space.

I just want to name a few plants that I BELIEVE are a must in everyone’s home. Now don’t go crazy tomorrow trying to get every single plant I show you but try your best… (hehe).

NUMBER ONE: GOOD LUCK
The first plant I absolutely LOVE is a Jade plant {imagine that}. These are SO easy to take care of. This plant is considered a succulent and guess what…it promotes prosperity, good luck and abundance!!! It is also called (by some) a money plant. I think that would just fall under the category of “good luck”. Shoot’s, I am NOT picky when it comes to luck. I will take whatever I can!  The good news is, it’s super easy to take care of. You should only water it once every two weeks. These babies don’t like direct sunlight so don’t put them outside Oh, and don’t forget to put it in the back left corner of the room it’s in. This spot is considered the “Wealth” spot.

NUMBER TWO:  AIR PURIFIER
Ficus Alii. I think this plant is SO pretty! But I think what it “does” is cray cray! It removes chemical vapors in the air! (I know, my mouth is open right now too) It’s pretty much like a natural air purifier.

The most important thing is that the bigger it is the more powerful it becomes. Some can grow up to 9 feet tall. It likes room temperature water and you should only water it once a week. It needs bright to medium light so don’t stick it in the corner behind a door.

See, it’s so pretty!!! Off to the next one!

NUMBER THREE: AIR PURIFIER 
The Bamboo Palm is great for cleaning the air!  Did you know that Nasa did an experiement to test how powerful some plants were at cleaning the air and this bad boy was ranked NUMBER THREE! This is a house plant (but could grow outside too). Make sure you water it once a week and you want to make sure the soil is not SUPER wet, just a little moist.  Now these babies GROW so you want to keep that in mind!

NUMBER FOUR: PROMOTES HAPPINESS
There are some plants that produce smells that are out of this world. When our bodies smell something “pretty” it feels good. I know mine does! When something smells good it reduces stress and then we unconsciously monitor the air around us with every breath we take. Did you know that pleasing fragrances make us feel SAFE!!! (( hellerrr I love to feel safe))

Shoot’s now I will ALWAYS have an excuse to buy fresh flowers, hehe. Plus it’s much better than “air fresh-ners” that are full of chemicals! It took a lot for me to escape the world of air fresheners. A flower that is in my house ALL OF THE TIME is LILIES.
People, you will not get enough of this smell. It smells our entire house plus they look so pretty!

 NUMBER FIVE: ENERGY BOOSTER

This plant can actually neutralize electromagnetic fields that radiate from electronics and appliances. WHAT THA…and it’s pretty! That’s a double wammy.
It is a powerful health improving plant buy “fung shui” standards. When you get it you want to place it in a corner or near a piece of furniture with sharp edges. This will soften the energy that these points cause. Make sure the soil stays moist and will need medium to bright light. Just looking at it makes me feel calmmmmm.

I hope you enjoyed learning about some plants that could benefit you life! It’s always fun to bring nature inside. I attached a video that I absolutely love and would LOVE if you could take 10 minutes out of your day to watch it! I promise it will change your life.

I hope you have a “FLOWER-FULL” day Jaderbugs,
