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…

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”…

Why does it feel like your legs are made of concrete the morning after a heavy session? We’ve all been there. While soreness is often a badge of honor, lingering inflammation is just a bottleneck for your next workout. You can keep popping over-the-counter painkillers, but the science is increasingly leaning toward plant-based alternatives that actually work with your biology. Via Unsplash The Golden Standard of Spices It’s no wonder turmeric has become so popular. Curcumin – the primary compound found within – has an incredibly strong anti-inflammatory effect. However, very few are using this ingredient correctly. Sprinkling some powdered turmeric on your scrambled eggs isn’t going to do much to improve your muscle recovery. High concentration supplements will be needed along with iperine – found in Black Pepper – which acts as a bioavailability enhancer. Research shows it decreases markers of muscle damage, but only if your body can actually absorb it. To increase the absorption of turmeric it is best taken with…
