A lot of people Are yet to understand the importance of having plants inside your house. A lot of people keep questioning why should I bring in plants if they’re actually meant to be outside the house?

The truth is putting plants inside the house takes more than just beauty and decor, it takes commitment and quite frankly it’s like having a lazy cat, all it does is sit there and wait for you to nurture it. But unlike cats, Plants have not only been the new trend but the healthy Trend.

So today we want to uncover all the reasons and secrets as to why it is actually that important to have plants in your home:

The first thing you are taught in any science class is that humans inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide what most people don’t know is that plants do the opposite, they inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen which is what humans use to breathe. So if you actually think of it, it is because of trees and plants that we are able to breathe more fresh air so why wouldn’t you want that inside your home to have something even more healthy and even more safe?

Have you ever just taken a walk to a park that’s filled with trees? what feeling do you get? I’ll tell you... the first one is that you are alive because you are able to breathe that much fresh air.

Have you ever walked in the hospital and by any chance find it painted in red or orange? The only part that you will find painted in red in a hospital is usually just the word emergency. Okay, enough beating around the bush what I am actually trying to say is that every colour has a certain feeling that it brings to a person. This is what we call colour psychology.

Most of the time blue is used in hospitals because it is meant to bring peace and calm and green happens to be the second most favourite colour after blue, believe me, green works just the same, it somehow is associated with peace, good luck, good health and even wealth.

In some cultures, green is associated with eternal life.

It is said that your mind naturally gets a stress reliever and is proved to improve reading ability and creativity.

I'm sure you are all very familiar with the saying, let me explain how that works in this case.

Ever had a messy house, just straight-up messy? super untidy it sort of looks like it time travelled back to WWII? how does that leave you feeling? because that makes me super grumpy and tense. 

Adding plants in your house helps to uplift the look of your whole house, once where you sleep looks good trust me, you have no reason waking up and thinking why you are not a stone. 

Do you sometimes struggle to get work done? you sit in your workspace and you start thinking of twenty other things? well keeping a plant on your desk has been proven to keep you calm and well concentrated. Like I said.... there is something about Green.

So recently I have been developing a serious love for leather I am talking about leather skirts leather jackets leather pants and everything leather you can think of, which I think is an interesting styling item or choice.

I mean you can never go wrong with leather, do you want to look like the new trendsetter? leather is your BFF.

But then I came to realize one very annoying fact about leather. Taking care of leather items can be a big pain, if you don’t store your jackets or leather clothes well enough, then you will have one massive wrinkle on them. No, no, no! Let me correct that. You will have a serious wrinkle problem that just won’t go away!

So you picture it in your head the night before, you want to style you some leather so you can look stylish, trendsetting and all that Glam but then you pull up your closet and you bump into a wrinkled skirt! Safe to say that plan is ruined.

Not to mention, have you ever smelt heated leather? yeah, worse than farts!

So how can we properly store leather items so they properly serve us?

Here is how...

I get it, the first thing you want to do is when you get home is throw everything you had on and just lay there in your birthday suit! But if you truly wanna stay Glam with leather, then you need to give it special attention.

Leather is not easy to straighten nor iron so you always want to make sure your leather items are not underneath a pile of clothes, stashed in the back of your closet, or just laying in a dusty site.

Instead, hang your jacket/pants/skirt on a hanger (one that won't leave marks to be precise) 

This way it will always stay straightened.

So what if it wrinkled from you wearing it?

We are getting there...

Leather is not washed as you wash your sheets, the best way is to get experts to do it for you. Your best shot is at dry cleaners but make sure they actually know how to deal with leather items. Not all dry cleaners can deal with leather. While most people think you do not need to clean up your leather items, it's actually not true because if you wear it... it gets dirty.

Keep it well hung in your closet or in a nonplastic container. You can bring it out for a couple of hours a week to let it breathe but remember to properly store it back.

If you are a clumsy eater as I am, then you are familiar with our most troublesome spilling situation. In the case you stain your leather stop yourself from rubbing the stain off, this is because you might either worsen the stain or create an unremovable mark so instead, treat it with lukewarm water with a good detergent, apply the detergent directly to the stain and gently rub with a wet towel (which was soaked with lukewarm water) after cleaning, make sure you rub off with a dry cloth/ towel till leather is dry.

There are proper ways to clean your jacket, this is way better taken care of in a laundromat. Do not soak your jacket or wet it in just any type of water.

In the case that you must put water in contact with your leather, make sure it is lukewarm. 

But you are probably still wondering how? What is the magic behind...? 

How can you have all that much clothes in your closet and still not know what to wear? Or worse how can other people have fewer items but look new each time they show up?

So you have heard about the capsule wardrobe and the wardrobe basics but you are still juggling about... you heard about quality over quantity but how is it actually done? How can you actually shop for quality or better yet, how do you know if an item is actually good quality...here are some tips to consider when you go shopping... 

Most of the time, colour is one of the most important parts of the cloth. If something is flashy and colourful or calm but still makes a statement it is usually because of the colour combination, and it tends to catch the eye more. So what you want to look for is a good colour combination.

You have probably heard this a lot " Get basic or nude colours for a good capsule wardrobe" well here it comes in... colours like black, white, dark tones like dark blue, dark green, or nude shades like khaki and caramel make it much easier to look classy... I know you are wondering... uh...? Stacy? How does a good colour help me identify quality? Well... that comes in the next part...

You ever liked something then wonder... is this the actual colour or is the material faded? well if you think that... chances are it looks faded and is faded.

So, one good quality of quality clothing is the richness in colour if something appears a bit faded just don't take the risk.

See...?? study your colours and you will always know the difference between a light blue and a fade.

Now I am addressing the thrift lovers...

I know cause I am one...

There are many types of thrift as you may have found by now... one big category is the rejects. They look great, yes but they do have minor errors that you want to pay attention to.

The zip should always be interior unless its put to be decorative but if you see the zip sewn on top of your new boyfriend jeans making it exposed chances are that is not the design.

I bet it won't look flattering either. 

What you want to do is always pay attention, are all buttons there? is the zipper where it should be? are other accessories actually flattering or the opposite?

Sometimes you feel it in your hear... you know it! but you buy it anyway....

This is exactly how you end up stacking clothes in your closet.

That little feeling that tells you.. "you look too booby in this dress" "you won't sit right in these pants" "you can't breathe in this top" yes that little voice.

Learn to listen to it a bit more because it is the best damage control there is and yes sure you are not a pro... but that's why you need to keep an open mind to ask for advice from vendors.

Not all are honest and faithful so you need to find one store that you trust and befriend them.

ALSO CHECK OUT: Sagula Stores

Find a store you trust with quality and give styling advice like my store Sagula Stores and make them your BFF. You can always ask for their opinion they will always be honest with you.

Finding a good source of clothes is a big issue. You don't have to shop in a big chain store there are many Insta stores that you can shop from with really good quality.

All you need is one good store with a sure source of good quality clothes and you will never have to worry about the quality. They do that good quality sourcing for you already.

So, have you ever flipped/ turned your dress inside out and asked your self who left the mop on your bed...? Yes, babes! you have been wearing a mop all this time.... don't you dare strip for your boyfriend.

Always check the inside of your clothes. They should always look neat and all the stitches have to be where they are supposed to be that is a big sign that the item is of good quality so don't be scared... slip the clothes inside out and check them. Check out the stitching in the exterior as well that you don't have any hanging threads.

Well, I certainly hope that gives you a good starting point to buy good quality clothes.

Let me know what you think in the comment section below.

It might look and smell good but on you, it might be totally different. Always try it out before checking out.

Check how the fabric looks on you and against your skin, how does it look when stretched out? then try to invasion the colour and material after washing it... do you think it will maintain the colour? if not... ditch it!
