LF x COMMON CREATIV

really excited to share my newest adventure with the artsy folks of
Common Creativ
in a nutshell the site is a group of Atlanta-based artistic professionals coming together and covering all things creative in our city. my column is called DIY + DRINK which is a monthly instructional write-up of a project including tips and tricks + a tied in drink recipe.
for the first post i did a little gardening project with some succulents as well as gave general information on indoor gardening.
▶▶▶ first things first-check out the yummy drink i crafted-

drink_step3_4
▶▶▶ extremely easy and so refreshing (one might consider it healthy..?)
to see the finished result as well as the Common Creativ editors and i enjoying a few cold ones-click HERE.
▶▶▶ next is the mini succulent center piece, windowsill or mantel art:

▶▶▶ few cheap ingredients…

▶▶▶ seperated the rocks by colors, got real ocd with it but the turn out was pretty cool! though if i were to do it over i’d use much larger pebbles, you could even use seaglass, shells or anything else you have in quantity-get crafty!

▶▶▶ the left-most little guy is a “living rock” so if you really lack a green thumb scoop up one of these. he was given to me on my birthday from Erin of Imagination Head and is still thriving with little to no attention! the specific plants you choose will determine their location in your home, mine are in a window seal for optimal light.

▶▶▶ do feel free to wind down on this Hump Day evening with a Lady Flashback Mother Earth Mojito!
