Oh, Anna, I love girly things too- don't let me near a Sephora, lol!

But you get so much more for your money when you buy plants rather than clothes and makeup, don't you think? $50 will get you a nice amount of plants vs. one shirt or brand name cream!

The thing about buying things is that it makes us feel good to have new things. However, when we buy an item of clothing or furniture, or even a car, after a week or two or three, the item becomes routine and gets old. Plants keep growing and sprouting new flowers, and we can make babies out of them and build entire generations of new things! That's why it's such a therapeutic hobby (or addiction, depending on your point of view, LOL)!
