I've always wanted to do this! & particularly with a dark shade. Color drenching enriches a space and blurs the lines that separate vertical and horizontal. When done correctly, color drenching isn't as simple as having a room all one color- It transports someone to a whole new feeling and environment.

House plant impact: While they won't make a room "oxygen-rich," they can create a more pleasant, filtered, and slightly more humid environment 🌿🪴🌱.

*Best Air-Purifying Plants: Snake Plant, Areca Palm, Pothos, Peace Lily, and Gerbera Daisy are top choices for boosting oxygen and removing toxins.

*Nighttime Production: While most plants stop producing oxygen at night, some, such as Snake Plants, Orchids, and succulents, continue to release oxygen, making them ideal for bedrooms.

When was the last time someone really listened to what you had to say?

Meet Paul Jenkinson, a 71-year-old retired social worker who is spending a year travelling across the country with two foldable chairs and a sign that’s says, “You are not alone! I will listen”.

He sets up in parks or public spaces and just waits for anyone who may feel the need to just talk. He wants people to know that they are seen and that no matter what they are going through, good or bad, there’s always someone to listen.

After spending a few hours with him I was amazed at how many strangers would see the sign and stop to chat.

He opened up that when he lost his daughter, he struggled a bit to feel comfortable sharing with people what he was going through because he worried that he wouldn’t be heard or that people would try to find words when no words would be enough.

If you see Paul in your town or city, pull up a chair and say hi.

And remember, you are not alone.
