I don’t know my Santa’s username but oh my goodness do they know ME!

I am completely obsessed with succulents and crystals. Being from New England, succulents aren’t a thing—now that I live in San Diego, though, I’m quickly approaching hoarder status (my porch is…well there’s a lot of them). I’ve always loved crystals, too, and have recently curated an enormous collection of them, decorating my bedroom, my living room, heck I even have some at work! Combining my love of the two (air plants are kinds of succulents as far as I’m concerned)? That’s probably one of the best gifts I’ve received since I started doing Reddit Secret Santa—and I’ve gotten some GOOD gifts!

Unbeknownst to my gifter, the kit they sent me—three Tillandsias with three crystals—would contain two of my favorite stones (amethyst and rose quartz). Like my breath was taken away seeing that! And the little celestite geode?! Like could this get any better?? No, no my friends it cannot. So now I get to create adorable, living masterpieces and watch them flourish! This was so worth the wait and I can’t wait to create them!
