  17. I absolutely love succulents. Have a pot with different kinds and some trailing that I have had for years. They can withstand heat and little watering, shade or sun, with hardly any care at all. Adaptable to virtually any kind of container (if you make sure they are not left standing in water). I have them in containers on my deck, under my cherry tree, in my rock wall, and on my kitchen window sill. Some can weather winter cold and extreme conditions we can have here in Spokane, Washington. They make babies and multiply and are easy to propagate. They come in many colors, such as purple tinged, red, gold, bright green (chartreuse).
    Just when you think they may be dead they surprise you. What more can I say? I am in love! xoxoxo

Discover Your Unique Style with Second Chances by Macy Eleni

If you’re someone who gets a little thrill from discovering a hidden gem in a secondhand store or loves the idea of curating a closet full of personality and stories, Second Chances by Macy Eleni is an absolute gem of a read. This book isn’t just about shopping—it’s about reclaiming your personal style in a way that’s sustainable, creative, and unapologetically YOU.

Macy brings all the charm and know-how of a seasoned thrifting queen, sharing her journey and passion for sustainable fashion in a really relatable, encouraging way. From practical thrifting tips to ideas for tailoring and revamping your finds, it’s packed with advice for anyone looking to ditch fast fashion and embrace a more mindful, expressive way of dressing.

What I personally loved is how Macy makes space for all styles, all sizes, and all personalities. It’s not about looking like everyone else—it’s about discovering what makes YOU feel amazing, and doing it with flair. For someone like me who’s drawn to quirky, eclectic home décor and wardrobe choices, this book was like a breath of fresh thrifted air.

Whether you’re brand new to thrifting or a seasoned op-shopper, Second Chances will have you looking at your closet—and your shopping habits—in a whole new way.
