Right now, succulents seem to be one of the top ways to upgrade any space. Creating a dream succulent display for your home doesn't have to cost you. Turn trash into treasure by repurposing items you already have. Here are 7 items you already have in your home that make prefect succulent containers:


1. Mason jars

Since Mason jars are all the rage right now, it's pretty obvious that they've ranked at the top of our list. Despite the fact that these jars look like a million bucks, you can actually purchase them pretty affordably at most major retailers.

To upgrade to a new level of trendy, take some twine and super glue and wrap that shit up.

2. Candles

After you've burned through your favorite scent, give your candle a second life by repurposing the container as a succulent holder. To remove wax, microwave until wax becomes liquid, dump it out and wipe excess with a paper towel.

3. Jewelry boxes

Upcycle things like this leather Michael Khors watch box into the trendiest of succulent boxes. Designer plant anyone?

4. Candy holder

Already super cute. Now it's super cuter.

5. Pasta (or other food) jar

Everyone has to eat. Turning old food containers is an easy way to create on a budget. If you don't have enough succulent soil, grab some rocks!

6. Wooden boxes

Take trinket holders and old post-it note receptacles and give them a chance for beauty as a succulent home. If you have no such luck in your own home, trendy boxes, http://www.michaels.com/square-whitewashed-wood-box-by-artminds/10409357.htmllike this one, can be purchased at most craft stores.

7. Goodwill finds

Venture into the dish ware section of your favorite thrift store and pick out some 75¢ glassware.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.
