These are a few things I like.
*. Succulents are easy to care for. You can neglect them and they would still thrive. They don't need to be watered much, but they still need a little bit. That plant on the left is called String of Pearls. I'm not sure what the plant on the right is called. It can get fairly big if I repotted it.
I once had a huge one in one of the bathrooms, but one day an ex-inlaw came and somehow destroyed it. I'm pretty sure he did it on purpose as the pot was hanging in a secure pot on the wall. I was not happy. it took years for me to find another plant like it.
*. This bottle of perfume I discovered in a thrift shop. I didn't buy it though, because it cost a bit too much. I loved the scent, yet didn't know the name of it at the time.
It turns out it's Versace Eros. From what I read the scent is considered sweet and woody.
It's delightful.
Do you have potted plants that you like? which ones?

Succulents have truly become one of my favorite houseplants due to their resilience and minimal maintenance needs. I particularly adore String of Pearls because of its unique bead-like trailing stems that add a charming aesthetic to any space. Beyond just watering sparingly, I like to ensure they get bright, indirect sunlight which helps them thrive without too much fuss. Repotting them occasionally is essential too, especially when they start to outgrow their containers, which happens faster than you might expect. In my experience, succulents like the one I mentioned can bring a calming vibe to bathrooms or living areas. However, it’s heartbreaking when something you’ve nurtured gets damaged, like my old large succulent that was unfortunately destroyed. This taught me to place cherished plants in secure spots and even to explain their value to house visitors. Switching to scents, stumbling upon the Versace Eros perfume at a thrift shop was a fragrant delight. The sweet and woody notes offer a warm and inviting aroma, perfect for those who enjoy distinctive yet not overpowering fragrances. Though the price deterred me from buying it then, I made it a point to learn more about it afterward. Perfumes like this can evoke memories and moods, which is why I find collecting or discovering unique scents so rewarding. If you’re like me, you might enjoy combining a love for living plants with a passion for fragrances that complement your personal space and style. It’s those small cherished things, from a well-cared-for succulent to a beloved perfume scent, that add a special layer of enjoyment to everyday life. What are some of your favorite potted plants or scents that bring you joy?
