About Me – My Gardening Growth

About Me – My Gardening Growth

Hello gardners! I'm Brianna, a part-time office worker and student for a Master of Arts in Communication, amidst the hustle, there's always room for houseplants in my life. My journey with houseplants began as a goal to add a touch of nature to my small room. Little did I know, it would become a passion that brings beauty to my home. Over time, I’ve collected 50+ plants, each with its own unique personality and care requirements. I really have learned through trial and error to keep these plants alive… I’ve purchased a few from my local plant stores more than once!

I had a little greenhouse escape this weekend! I I had a little greenhouse escape this weekend! I wandered through @robertplantegreenhouses with a hot chocolate in hand and I had a great time. Between the Christmas displays, the warm air, and the jungle-y paths, it felt like stepping into a world away from all the snow we got. As someone who spends most days bouncing between work, school, and home, I forget how fun and relaxing it can be to just look at plants instead of thinking about my to-do list If you’re feeling stretched thin lately, consider this your reminder that you’re allowed to appreciate plants without adding anything to your plate. A 20-minute wander in a greenhouse (or even scrolling through photos of your own plants) can do the trick! Have you visited any cozy plant spots lately? 🌿✨

Busy girl tip! Make sure to meal prep for the busy Busy girl tip! Make sure to meal prep for the busy times Since it’s fall I’m all about soup, I’ve made butternut squash and carrot soup, tomato and carrot soup, and now a sweet potato apple and carrot soup! (Carrots are cheap okay?) I’ve been freezing soup into 1 cup cubes and putting those in large baggies. It makes a good easy lunch, or sauce over dinner when you’re too busy to worry about getting your veggies in! What’s your busy girl tip? #hustlesmart #hustleeveryday #busygirl #girlbosslife #girlbosshustle #gradschool #gradstudent #studentlifestyle #souprecipe #soupseason #soupday
Lately I’ve been thinking about how the choices we Lately I’ve been thinking about how the choices we make now shape where we end up later. For me, that means showing up to study, doing the work, and trying to stay curious even when it’s hard. But it also means knowing when to slow down. I take breaks with my plants, drink too much coffee, and watch old TV shows while I work through readings. I think before I act, take my time with things, and try not to rush the process, even when it feels like everyone else is moving faster. It’s not always exciting, but it’s real. And I’m learning to trust that these small choices, stacked over time, will take me where I want to go. Send to a friend to remind them to make small choices and keep moving forward! #gradschool #phdstudent #smallchoices #hustlesmart #failtoplanplantofail
You know you’re in grad school when your vocabular You know you’re in grad school when your vocabulary includes: 📚 “Just one more citation.” 🧠 “That sounds like future me’s problem.” ☕ “Is it too late for coffee?” 🌿 “I can’t wait to water my plants.” It’s the little routines that keep us grounded! For me that’s caffeine, tv, and the comfort of watching my plants grow. #phdlife #gradschool #plantlover #academicchaos #gradstudentlife
