The Korg Volca is quite clearly a “fuck you” to the Roland corp for their unwillingness to reissue their earlier lines of bass and drum machines.

Even though the 808 is unquestionably the most famous drum machine of all time … OF ALL TIME.

The “I Can Do This!” Motivation bottle.

I made this little bottle for my wife at work, but I’ve decided to post it because I know finals are coming up and I think this could be helpful for those of you who are juggling your finals with the rest of your life! 

All of these things came from my kitchen spice cabinets, so nothing too crazy or difficult to find here!

I made this as something that embodied what is needed to get through the tough days. It isn’t a good luck charm, just something to bring out the best thing already in you.

Each layer is for a different piece of what makes up a good, productive day in my opinion, so here we go!

Sea salt - for protection

Cinnamon - for success & wisdom

Sage - for peace

Caraway seeds - for mental power

Basil - for confidence

Rosemary - for mental clarity

Red Pepper flakes - for energy

I find that saying my intent out loud really helps me to know that it is there, the more I say something out loud, the more I feel like it is true and real, so I focus on saying my intent for each layer out loud, over and over until I really do feel it there. I also find that saying these things out loud, and being sure of them, helps you to realize that there really IS power in your words. You have power to speak these words and really bring life to them because you are stating, whole-heartedly that this rosemary is going to bring mental clarity to your day. Don’t be afraid to spend as much time as you need to on each layer to feel like your intent is there. This helps me, personally. 

Once you’re filled up, put the cork back in, tightly. I would recommend packing these layers in tightly also, so if you care them around in your pocket, they don’t all mix together if you don’t want them to.

After, I sealed my bottle with wax (mine was vanilla scented because it is my wife’s favorite scent and it’s something that really makes her happy) - (also I will make a little post about how I seal up little bottles with wax later on!) and sat with it for quite a while, really focusing the intent into the whole bottle, and what you want for it as a whole. Like before, I sat repeating out loud until I really felt it and believed it with the knowing that my words have power!

I hope this was helpful!

Hi! So I want to grow plants in my room but it is very small. I can’t keep them in my window frame so I will have to put them on a shelf against my wall. The shelf is in front of the window but my plants wont get much direct sunlight so I am scared I won’t be able to take care of them for that long. Is it possible or not? If so how could I take good care of them and if not is there any other way I can take care of them in my room or not?

Hi! Sorry that I didn’t reply to this sooner! There are lots of neat ways to make Plant Space in small bedrooms, even if you can’t use a window frame. (Though how much light they will need will of course depend on the plant, and I would make sure that the plants your worried about even NEED direct sunlight, a lot of them don’t prefer it.)

You could buy a simple shelf that you can just screw into the wall under/closer to your window like this (photo credit): 

Or you can have one of these cute little key-hanger shelves and put it on the wall next to your window or at least closer to the window than your bookshelf, and hang some plants off of the knobs there: 

Something I personally REALLY wanna do, and that I think is awesome because you can move it around anywhere, is to hang plants from a coat hanger and keep it closer to your window, like this (photo credit): 

AAAH ALSO THIS THING THAT I REALLY WANNA DO it looks really simple, just put a bare, sturdy curtain rod up over your window and hang plants from it (photo credit): 

And this other thing is pretty neat too BUT you would have to make a lot of wall space and it likely wouldn’t be any closer than the bookshelf you’re currently using (photo credit): 

Of course, you could also have a table in your room just for plants and either move it closer to your window or provide a sun lamp for them if you think they aren’t getting enough light. But that would make your room very warm, and it can be a little tricky to balance out how much to water them and being careful not to burn them with the lamp. If anyone has other ideas, please feel free to add!
