Spring is such an exciting time for plant lovers! I love seeing my plants finally flourish after a dark winter. It gets so dark in Finland during winter I actually had to move the most sensitive plants from windowsill to kitchen under the sink light.

I got many plant losses last year during a thrip invasion but at this point I'm just grateful I finally got rid of them last year. I had to cut my several meters long passion fruit vine down to a stick so I'm super happy to see it flourish again.

Remember to check on your plants often and deal with bugs as early as possible. Throw away the plants that are badly infected - if you take cuttings keep them isolated and shower them frequently. I have most of my plants in water instead of soil so it's easy to give them regular showers just in case.

I'm currently recovering from a binge eating disorder I've had for over two decades. Every time I eat sweets my impulse is to binge until I'm too nauseous to continue and my stomach hurts. What really helped me to change my behavior into healthier direction was making reasonable goals, learning to cook healthy & delicious food, planning my meals beforehand, eating a heavy breakfast full of protein and giving up perfectionism.

When it comes to changing behavior, starting with baby steps is way better than setting unrealistic goals because change needs to be sustainable. Change also requires patience because your body needs time to adapt to healthier habits. Changing behavior means you'll have to repeat a new activity so many times it becomes a pattern and a habit.

I used to talk a lot about mental health topics like addiction, eating disorders and poverty on Instagram. I might start talking more about heavier subjects again after I get over my IG burnout but it's been nice focusing on just sharing my art for a while.
