| 0:00.0 | What is popping in the garden everyone? So today we're keeping it indoors and we're actually talking about house plants. |
| 0:08.0 | So I've gotten really into house plants in the last I would say four to six months or so not that I hadn't been before but I've taken a bit more focus on them because I'm trying to generate spaces and develop things in my own home that make me feel good. |
| 0:23.4 | Like if I'm in my office, if I'm in my bedroom, |
