I said I was done buying plants… but then July bout took me out and I saw these leaves. 😩🌿 Meet the newest girl in the Peace & Petals family. 🥹🌿 Those big, beautiful leaves and fenestrations had me immediately! Now she just needs the perfect name… what should I name her? I was thinking Empre

This might be the prettiest juice I’ve made all summer. 💖🐉 Dragon fruit, watermelon, pineapple, and fresh mint… one colorful blend that’s as refreshing as it looks. Now settle a debate for me…👇🏾 Are you team red or white dragon fruit, or have you never tried it? Save this recipe for you

This tropical blend tastes like sunshine in a bottle. ☀️🥭🍍 Today’s juice: 🥭 Papaya 🍍 Pineapple 🍊 Oranges 🍋‍🟩 Lime 🫚 Fresh ginger The papaya brings natural sweetness, the pineapple adds a tropical twist, the citrus brightens every sip, and the ginger finishes it with the perfect little ki

I used to throw these away every single time… until I learned they were actually edible. 🥭 Papaya seeds contain papain, a natural enzyme that helps break down protein during digestion. They’re also a source of fiber and antioxidants, making them an interesting part of the fruit that often gets o

There’s something special about packing a bag, hitting the road, and going home for the holidays. This year’s Fourth of July is all about family, slowing down, and making memories I’ll always hold close. Wishing everyone a safe and joyful holiday weekend. ❤️🤍💙 #FourthOfJuly #Lemon8 #Su

Every now and then, I gather everyone by the window to soak up a little sunshine. It’s become one of my favorite parts of the day checking on new leaves, admiring their growth, and enjoying a few quiet moments together. Plant parenthood has taught me that growth doesn’t always happen overnight.

Some memories never fade… they just wait for the right moment to come back. 💛🍉✨ Growing up, I watched my Big Daddy choose yellow meat watermelon every summer. This is the first summer I’ve been able to find one here in Houston, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. Turning it into f

Fresh fruit. No artificial colors. No mystery ingredients. Just watermelon, sunshine, and a little time in the freezer. 🍉✨ One prep session turned into homemade popsicles that taste like summer. I have a feeling these won’t last very long. Would you try these with red watermelon or yellow wa

Fresh watermelon, pineapple, dragon fruit, cantaloupe, papaya, mint and a splash of lime together to make one of my favorite juices yet. No artificial flavors just fruit doing what it does best. ✨ Would you try a glass? #FreshJuice #FruitPunch #JuicingJourney #HealthyDrinks #dri

So I finally ordered the weighted vest. ✨ First impressions? It’s definitely heavier than I expected! I’ll be wearing it during my walks and chores, so follow along to see if it’s actually worth the hype. If you’ve tried one, tell me your thoughts below! #workoutroutine #healthylifestyle #f

I’ve been seeing this LED face mask everywhere, so it was finally time to see what all the hype was about. Here’s my first impression, how easy it is to use, and whether I think it’s worth adding to my skincare routine. Have you tried LED light therapy, or are you still on the fence? OAN: it

I’d been hunting for a Begonia Maculata for weeks. After calling around, I finally found a nursery that had a few in stock, so I made the drive. When I saw them, I could’ve picked any one of them… But I kept coming back to this one. She wasn’t picture-perfect. You could tell the trip to

The girls were ready for a little extra love today. 🤍 I spent the afternoon watering, checking on everyone, cleaning up a few tired blooms, and enjoying a slow moment on the patio… …until I remembered I share this space with Houston’s free pest control. 🦎😭 Let’s just say one little lizard had

One bad plant experience and suddenly everybody has to show ID at the door. 😭🌿 My collection has a strict quarantine policy these days. What’s the worst thing you’ve accidentally brought home on a new plant? Fungus gnats? Spider mites? Thrips? Or have you been one of the lucky ones? Mine

Houston Today was all about checking leaves, watering, wiping down foliage, and making sure everyone was staying pest-free. Being a plant parent isn’t always glamorous. Sometimes it’s neem oil, Dawn dish soap, and a full inspection of every leaf. 😂 But these quiet little routines have becom

There is something so satisfying about the final pour. After all the prep, this is the moment that makes it worth it. Simple ingredients. Simple habits. Feeling good from the inside out. 🍉🤍 #juicerecipes Houston #HydrationGoals #WatermelonJuice #HealthyHabits #WellnessLifest

Getting back to the little routines that make me feel good. No elaborate skincare routine. No perfect morning. Just a few ice cubes, a little self-care, and a reminder to slow down before the day begins. I’ve learned that wellness doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it’s the small t

Some days you’ll find me on the patio checking on my roses, pulling weeds, and spending time with the little things I’ve been growing. What started as a few plants has become a space where I can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with myself. Some days I come outside to water my roses. Some d

One thing about plants… they’ll humble you. 😂🌿 Just when you think you’ve figured everything out, they throw a yellow leaf your way. I’ve learned that growth isn’t always perfect. Sometimes old leaves have to go so new ones can grow. 💚 So while she’s been a little dramatic lately, we’re gi
