Helen’s 5 carry-on bag essentials

Apple Earphones I generally enjoying listening to music the whole flight. Nothing better than ignoring everyone around you and jamming to your favorite tunes for a couple hours. A Book I also like to bring on a book that I am reading at the time, which is currently Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. It's a cute dorky love story about a girl dedicated to her fandom starting college, it's a pretty easy read and I look forward to reading her other book, Eleanor and Park. EOS Chapstick Plane rides tend to make my lips chapped, so just in case it gets dry, I have my trusty Passion Fruit EOS,which is my favorite Chapstick :D

Red Beanie Also, I always get really cold on flights, so to retain some extra heat, I like to wear beanies. This one is a red knit one I got from Forever 21, and I like the slouchy-ness. iPhone I store all my music on my iPhone. ALL OF IT.

Natisha’s 5 carry-on bag essentials

Bose Noise Canceling Headphones Noise canceling headphones are a must when traveling! I just went to LA this past weekend and had a screaming baby sitting across the aisle from me. As cute as they can be, screaming babies in a confined space can be tough to handle.

Socks I have a few pairs of these that I picked up while in Korea a couple years back. I remember them being only a few dollars each. They are perfect for keeping my feet warm but also allow me to take my shoes off on long haul flights that tend to make my feet swell. I only feel the need to put my shoes back on or put on some slippers when I am headed to the bathroom during the flight.

Facial Oil Being in air causes my skin to dry out a bit, especially on long flights. I always bring a tiny bottle of this oil onboard with me so I can apply some when my skin is feeling parched. It is the perfect size and awesome at moisturizing!

Sketchbook Sitting still for a extended period of time helps me organize my thoughts and sometimes I need a place to jot down notes, sketch a couple ideas for my next project, etc. I always try to carry a sketchbook and writing utensil so I don’t miss my chance to do so! This version one of my all time favorites.

iPhone Carrier of my music and audiobooks, my phone is a must for entertainment purposes.

Lauren’s 5 carry-on bag essentials

Hello. We each have travel plans in the near future, so we wanted to share our 5 must-have items that can be found in our carry-on bags. Here are mine:

Water bottle I like to bring in an empty water bottle through security & then fill up at the airport before boarding. This is an essential because staying hydrated on a plane is quite the challenge.

Lip Balm This is another essential to battle the effects of the dry cabin air.

Scarf Having a scarf, can have multiple payoffs. I usually carry one that’s big enough to be used as a wrap. It comes in handy when the cabin is chilly to wrap around my shoulders. It can also double as a mini pillow, when rolled up. On long flights, I’ll even use it to add some cushioning to the seat, by sitting on it.

Kindle I have a 2nd generation Kindle & I love it. I pretty much always have it on me, so on a flight is no exception. I can carry so many books without having to have something bulky in my bag. This comes in handy while waiting at the gate and during the actual flight.

Knitting Project Reading and watching movies can get pretty boring after a few hours, so I like to carry a small project to work on. I find knitting really calming and focusing, so I can easily do it for hours without tiring. It’s a great way to keep me entertained without having to get up and moving around the plane. Currently, I’m learning how to make socks. Maybe by the end of my upcoming Europe and Japan trips, I’ll have a new pair of socks!

Give Your Plant a Drink

Water is one of the 5 essential requirements for plant growth. Good 'ole H2O is the main component and instigator of healthy plant growth. Though it is considered the most elementary part of plant care the work it does is far more complicated that simply quenching the plants' thirst.

Water is essential in keeping the plant turgid (stiff). It also plays a key role the photosynthesis process. It is also responsible for transporting nutrients throughout the body of the plant.

A consistent moisture level is very important to plant growth because the plants' roots will absorb the moisture out of the soil. The "professional" term for a consistent moisture level is medium moist. Medium moist is essentially a presences of 50% water and 50% air in the airspace fo the soil. (The airspace is accounted for by the amount of spaces that exists between the different soil particles). This 50/50 split is the ideal relationship for the roots to do their work.

It is necessary to have air present around the roots because roots need the presence of oxygen around them in order to function in the uptake of the water present in the soil. Too much water fills up all the airspace with moisture and there is little room for air. This situation is what causes root rot and almost always leads to the death of the plant.

On the other hand if the soil is allowed to dry out too much the very small roots, known as the hair roots will desiccate (dry up and disintegrate). The hair roots are the part of the root system that actually do the job of taking up the water. Their health is critical to optimum plant health. When they do desiccate it does tremendous damage to the plant which shows up in the leaves as brown spots, burning along the edges of the leaves and leaves turning completely yellow and falling off.

Proper watering is very difficult for the average and busy homeowner and inconsistency in the watering is the leading cause of plant deaths in the home environment. Thus the reason why we believe so much in the usefulness and effectiveness of a LushPot.

Let In Some Light

LushPots monitor the most difficult task in keeping houseplants: watering schedule. But some plants require much more than a balanced watering schedule... Light plays a huge part and being selective about where you place your house plants can play a huge factor in weather or not they will remain healthy.

North Rooms

Light is necessary for photosynthesis. Most usable light inside of the average home comes from its windows. Plants that are far away from a window, especially windows on the North side of the home, will most always be living in a low light situation. Make sure when you are selecting a plant for these low light areas that you select a plant which is better at tolerating low sunlight. Something as simple as picking the right plant for the light conditions will set you up for "green thumb" success.

West & East Rooms

Likewise, Eastern rooms that have windows will have pretty good light in the mornings. Of course you'll want to make a note if there is a large overhangs or large shade trees or any other obstructions that cut down on the available light to the plant. Plants near these East windows will find themselves in what could be considered a medium light situation. Plants further away from the window would still be considered in low light. Lighting in a west room will be nearly identical to that of it's Eastern counterpart, but the bulk of their light comes in the afternoon.

South Rooms

As you would probably expect plants on the South side most always have the strongest light. In these high exposure South rooms it is reasonable to categorize placement of a plant near the window as high light while plants further back would find themselves in what we consider medium light. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you do your best to match the plant light needs/tolerance to the lighting exposure of the room.

Something else to keep in mind is that if your home is like mine dust gathers on everything, including the plants. Many don't realize it but the dust itself acts as shade to the leaf and reduces the amount of light available to the plant. It is important to dust your plants with a good ostrich feather duster to keep them clean as well as looking good.
