The Orchid: Nature’s Most Beautiful Drama Queen (And How to Please Her)
My green thumb is AWAKE!! My plants are happy little guys, growing like crazy, EXCEPT of course The GG Cactus (remember my Mom’s cactus? The one that grows EVERYWHERE but Idaho?) Everyone else including my orchid plants are thriving. I know! I KNOW! Orchids are the high-maintenance divas of the botanical world. They don’t just “grow.” They negotiate. They don’t just “wilt.” They throw elaborate, silent tantrums because you dared to look at them wrong on a Tuesday, or because the draft from the hallway was exactly two degrees too cool. However mine are blooming with amazing regularity. I’m THRILLED! Now, while owning an orchid is less like gardening and more like hosting a volatile, aristocratic houseguest who refuses to leave but demands the finest linens. If you throw a classic, waterlogged plastic pot at a creature this refined, she won’t just die—she will judge you on her way out. Enter the BUYMAX Ceramic Orchid Planter. It is the ultimate peace offering for your green roommate. Modern Craftsmanship Meets Plant Diplomacy I was so excited to clean up my orchid and replant her in an elegant premium ceramic sanctuary. This orchid planter is beauty fit for the drama queen of…

Adulting 101: Why Life Insurance is Easier (and Cheaper) Than Training My Puppy
When you woke up this morning and think HEY! I need life insurance? I didn’t. Nope, I woke up to Mr. Walter the 4 month old Great Bernese throwing up. Seriously, does anything get a person out of bed faster? Let’s be honest, no one wakes up, stretches and thinks “You know what sounds incredibly thrilling? Shopping for life insurance!” AND if you do, well, ummm yeah, I got nothin’. I’m sorry? My Mom associated getting life insurance as a jinx. The ultimate buzzkill, existential dread, complicated paperwork, and most importantly coming face-to-face with her own mortality. She truly felt that getting life insurance put a date on her death. She thought life insurance was a jinx and she would die as soon as the insurance went into effect. When my Mom did pass away it was upto me to take care of all the expenses. SO NOT COOL MOTHER!! Yes, shopping for insurance might feel like the ultimate “adulting” chore. But here is a secret that I can’t shout loud enough: checking this massive box off your to-do list is actually easier, less stressful, and often cheaper than trying to teach a brand-new puppy not to chew on your…

Walter’s Puppy Survival Guide: GleamGlee Museum Paste
Now, I know what you are thinking, what could I, Walter, a 4 month old Great Bernese (that’s a Great Pyrenees/Bernese Mountain Dog) know about GleamGlee Museum Paste?? A LOT actually! Hear me out. Zoomies I gotta tell ya, when I am tired I don’t collapse on the floor. Nope, not me. I zoom like that fastest dog in the world. I love to run like the devil is chasing me (or Mom, when she says “what is in your mouth??”). I like to side swipe all cabinets, occasionally, yes, I do lose my footing and I do make contact. Things do topple. Things do wobble. Things do fall to the floor. (Yes, Mom is yelling. Yes, it does make me run faster!) GleamGlee Museum Paste So, how does a big pup like me keep Mom from losing her marbles during my daily living room sprints? Enter GleamGlee Museum Paste. Mom finally got smart. Instead of banning me from the living room (which would never work because my fluffy butt is irresistible), she took this magical stuff and stuck it under all her favorite breakable things. Fragile vases? Secured. Picture frames on the side tables? Locked down. Even that weird…
