I told myself NO MORE!

This plant container is HILARIOUS

I just had to get it, and it was only $10!

7/1 Edited to

I know how hard it is to resist buying more plants or plant containers, especially when you find something unique and funny like this one. I told myself no more purchases, but then spotting a planter with excellent drainage—something that's crucial for healthy plants—made it impossible to walk away. Drainage keeps plants from overwatering and root rot, which makes this planter practical as well as hilarious. From my personal experience, combining humor and functionality in a plant container can really brighten up any room and make plant care feel less like a chore. Finding one for only $10 felt like a steal! If you’re into quirky and useful plant accessories, it’s worth keeping an eye out in local stores, online marketplaces, or even thrift shops. For those interested, I share all my latest finds, DIY plant projects, and care tips on my Instagram (link in the article). Following plant-related hashtags like #plantlife and #shoppingaddiction might just lead you to your next favorite planter too! So don’t be too hard on yourself about the occasional whimsical plant purchase—sometimes it’s exactly what your space and mood need to lift up. Happy planting and happy shopping!

A person lies in bed, covering their face with an arm, conveying a feeling of being overwhelmed. Text reads "this time hit hard..." and an emoji indicates sadness, reflecting the struggle with seasonal depression.

A stylish shelf with various decorative items serves as a background for text describing the onset of a "funk" at the end of 2024, characterized by feeling drained, stuck, and disconnected.

A person's hands hold a notebook while sitting, with text stating "i felt LOST." It describes feeling disconnected from joy, relationships, and career, and lacking energy to engage.

getting myself out of seasonal depression ❤️‍🩹

i guess you can say, this funk was extra funkyyy and lasted much longer than the low seasons i've had in the past. fortunately, it wasn't so bad to where i stayed in bed all day, but it did get to the point where i had no motivation to do anything, and when i did take action, i felt numb.
