Aloe Plant
This long pointed succulent is popular for its medicinal properties. It can grow up to 3 feet high, easily filling up any empty spaces in your home. A smaller variety , like the aloe vera, works well in small, sunny indoor space. Aloe grows well in room temperatures and in a lot of sunlight.

As a bonus this plant is great to incorporate into your skincare for hydration and for treating sunburns.
Herbs
Herbs like basil, mint, rosemary, and oregano are easy to grow and can freshen up the overall vibe of your kitchen area. The fragrances are welcoming and warm. The herbs add a touch of color and are practical in a time when we shouldn’t be going out much! For the best results, give each herb their own pot so you can provide care accordingly.
Pothos

Perfect for a pop of freshness and color on top of a table, bookshelf, cabinet etc. And these only need optimal light, so the corners of homes are perfect too! There are many different varieties that grow in different colors, vibrantly green with specks of whites, yellows, or greys. Better yet this plant can purify the air, removing toxins from the air around us. It’s affordable, easy to care for, to propagate, and lasts for a long time.
Snake Plant

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
