My Life Through Pictures
When I received my succulents, I need to clean it by removing the soil from Benguet where most of the local succulents come from.
After cleaning it under the running water, I need to cut the old roots and let it dry for 1 to 2 days.
After 2 days, I am going to repot them in a new dry soil, then I will place them in a bright shaded area and I will water them after a week.
So that’s it… I will be posting the repotted succulents next time.
Happy planting everyone!
I ordered a new planter for my succulents and I am so excited for this. I am now taking my time to collect succulents because I am still learning on taking care of them. I keep on watching videos on how to take care of them and so far I am learning a lot.
This new hobby of mine somehow made me focus on the plants rather on the pandemic. It takes away my mind of worrying too much. It made me feel excited on waking up each day and checking my plants and I think that is the purpose on why I started this hobby. For a long months since the lockdown due to pandemic, I just stayed at home. I started to worry and got depressed because most of the time I am just inside the house and just watching news about the pandemic. Sometimes, I feel so depressed that I can’t focus to do my work. I was really affected and there were times that I don’t want to do anything, those things that I love doing was nothing for me. I lost interests in things. Then I realize that I should do something, I need to divert my attention to make me see things differently then planting is a big help. So now that I am really into it, I feel okay and I think that’s what really matters most.
So expect more posts about plants from now on. I will keep you updated for my little collection.
Happy planting everyone.
What makes us busy nowadays are going to the farm and taking care of my plants.
Last Sunday, we finally put the welcome sign in our little farm. I bought it online and I find it cute in our entry.
I bought this rose cabbage succulent 2 weeks ago and I am glad that it is doing good. I air dry it for 24 hours only then repotted it right away and so far it looks great.
Just by seeing my plants doing good somehow makes me feel good. This new hobby somehow excites me going out to the garden and check my plants every now and then. Before I start working, I make sure to check on them. I am happy that most of them are healthy.
I bought 2 new mums the purple pink and the white. It is an additional for my yellow one. Now they look so pretty and I can’t stop appreciating them.
The succulents above them are already exposed in the sun and rain. They are my stable plants already so I somehow stressed them to let their true colors out.
I received a notice from my school that I am a candidate for graduation. I was so happy when I got the notice and still can’t believe it.
I just want to share…
After high school, I was so excited to go to college. I picked a school that is near to our house so I can save for the transportation. But, we were struggling financially that time. My parents cannot afford my college tuition fees, so I have to work. I was a working student that time but it was really hard juggling school and work. I need to choose work because I was helping my parents financially.
Due to poverty, I was not able to finish my college. As early as 18 years old, I was already working but I always wanted to finish college.
Since then, I just focused on helping my family then eventually build my business. Then last 2 years ago, I was looking for a perfect school that I can attend while I am still doing my business. Then God answered my prayer.
It was the busiest 2 years so far and I was scared at first because I might not meet the school requirements. I master the art of multitasking. I am working while studying. I need to manage my time well if I want to survive the homeschooling.
I can’t believe that I made it. I learn a lot from this experienced and it made me realize that it was never too late to fulfill my dreams.
Now that I am done with this chapter, I am now more confident to work hard to grow my business. I know that I am on a right track of growing my business so I can help more.
I know that I need to learn more… I have so much things to learn but I am taking things one at a time.
I am thankful for my husband for understanding and supporting me in this journey.
That’s my look before I feel so haggard from the travel time. LOL
Finally, my dream come true. Thank you Lord God for the blessings. All Glory to You My God.
I started collecting tea sets and plates around 5 years ago, then lately I think I got it over the top. When I checked etsy, I found cute pieces that I like. I looked for one seller that has everything that I like.
I ordered it last July then it arrived at the end of August. Actually, my package went all the way to Mindanao and DHL needs to reship it to Antipolo.
Two cups are broken and it saddened me but I know it is because of the handling. But at least just two and the rests are perfectly fine.
I am happy with my new sets and I think I have to stop collecting this time because I don’t have enough space yet. I will definitely resume when my place is ready for them.
I never thought that this little things will make me happy….
It’s Hoodie time of the year already and we just released our new collection — the oversized hoodie!
You can order it directly through our FB Page Ayumi’s Fashion, you can direct message us or you can place comment here!
We ship nationwide (Philippines only).
Thanks everyone!
Everytime I saw flowers from my garden it somehow made me feel so good. It made me happy.
I started planting last July and since then I never stop planting. I keep on buying succulents and flower plants.
Everyday, I checked on them I am glad that they are growing beautifully.
This somehow helps me with my anxiety and worries lately. Because of so many things going on right now, we need to divert our mind to do something productive and planting is one of my stress reliever lately.
So, if you are not yet into planting I think you should give it a try…
I hope you are all safe and healthy!
Our mini farm gate is now finally done. The place is now clean and ready for the new plants such as fruit bearing trees and some vegetables. We are now planning where to place the plants and these things made us feel excited.
I have new set of succulents, I ordered it online and I like preparing it myself. This new hobby somehow feels me better despite of the chaos around me. I feel excited everytime I have new plants coming because I love cleaning them, drying them and repotting them. I also love seeing them grow. I think I check on them at least 3 times a day. This is somehow new to me because before I start collecting succulents, I can spent my week without going out in the garden. I just stay inside the house reading books and watching movie and of course working. But now that I started planting, I love going out and checking on my plants. I am beginning to love this new hobby of mine.
This is Xavier’s costume during their Filipino Month Program in school. He is wearing that in their online program and he was so uncomfortable with it but before he take it off, I asked him to post for a picture first. LOL
So that’s it… nothing much exciting happening lately. Aside from business, which made me so busy and drain after the day, I am glad that I have something to look forward like checking the farm and my garden.
