can't believe what I just spotted and I haven't seen one in a big box store since...
hi everyone it's Marianne so today I'm taking you along with me sort of A Day in the Life
Vlog but there's no real agenda to be honest I just need to get out of the house but right
now I'm right outside Goodwill I haven't been thrifting in a while so I just kind of like
to see what they have especially you know it's fall and see what kind of like fall items
people have donated at Goodwill and the reason I haven't been thrifting in a while is just
because I guess when it comes to sustainability I'm trying to be more of like use what I have
and even though thrifting is great buying second hand is preferable than buying something
new I kind of like be more on the try to use what I have first and then if I actually need
something then go thrifted or buy buy new whatever the case or the situation may be
so but since I'm just really just want to get out of the house and um spend some self-care
time I guess I just want to see what they have in Goodwill not really have any intention
of getting anything so yeah let's go ahead and go inside and see what they have
I'm not gonna give anything but I might need this floor lamp for my houseplants because
we will see
this section is where I used to immediately go to coz remember when we're all obsessed
with bigger baskets
beautiful dollhouse
doesn't this like the first message urine instead of wine I lied I just went thrifting
in New York like for the Global Citizens Festival but I guess that's what inspired me to come
back and check out my local ones and see what they have it's her birthday like is it a unique
great find or it looks ugly that's why people originated it like this one is it unique vintage
or is it ugly it's like New York and Company I don't know
this one still has a tag on it dress pants from Nordstrom semantics green tag and it's
originally $88 was on sale on $57.90 we'll see how much Goodwill is selling it for $6.34
so a great deal for a brand new one but it is a size bigger thing for me and it's also
way too long so I'm not gonna get it
so from the looks of it it's brand new too and it's a yellow tag so it's actually half
off so it's like only like three dollars
we just left Goodwill and it just occurred to me I don't know why I said I haven't been
thrifting in a while but I just went thrifting in New York for the Global Citizens Festival
but I think that's what inspired me to go check out my local Goodwill I mean they actually
had a lot of good stuff but I was self-disciplined enough to not get anything I was tempted to
get the lamp stand to put girl lights on for my plants but I think my current setup is
okay we'll see though I'll think about it but now I'm gonna go get Starbucks and then
go to Lowe's
so I just got a pumpkin spice latte I didn't ask to modify it but I did get it iced because
I didn't know you can get it ice but of course you can get anything ice in Starbucks and
it is full but it's a bit warm so I wanted something iced and we'll see how it tastes
they say the taste change this year but it's not like I've had a lot of pumpkin spice in
the past before so I don't even know if it could tell the difference but foreign
still tastes good to me it's still like the pumpkin spice that I know it's just not ice
I could also have gotten it Blended but they charge extra for Blended so I just got it
ice and in a grande six dollars for a pick-me-up but yeah so now I'm headed to Lowe's and check
out what the houseplants they have headed to the Garden Center and see what they have
yeah the Christmas tree is out already
for Trending Tropicals they have this alocasia
it is pretty in person it's the alocadia Dragon silver
they also have this I keep forgetting the name of it it's kind of hard to pronounce
but it is this Xanthosoma
and they have the aglaonemas and the Geo the truebii moonlight and oh this is tetrasperma
not the Baltic blue and calatheas maranthas
Ferns
this one over here is the Baltic blue
lots of crotons
have the usual bamboos and Money Trees money plants ponytail plants over there
Fiddle Leaf Figs that I'm not exactly doing too well it's a bit burnt look at that or
maybe even disease
d the urban jungle collection they have this beautiful marantha or calathea
more ferns the peperomias
I don't know if this was clearance or just somebody put it here but that is a beautiful
money plant
you already have the beautiful burgundy tree for 16 I used to have this I gave it away
which I kind of regret
but I can't repurchase it just because I don't have space and this one like this one
if you like the aglaonema pictum tri-color but you can't afford it or you find it hard
to take care of this one is a really good dupe for it look at that yes it seemed camouflage
coloring it's really beautiful this one is a diffenbachia here and it is sold for twenty
dollars but look how beautiful that is coloration of it very much reminiscent of an aglaonema
pictum tri-color
another beautiful diffenbachia look at that leaf with that like white mid-rib and they're
actually very easy care plants but they are very susceptible to house plant pests that's
the only thing about them at least in my experience but if you get a healthy one and just you
know do A Pest Management routine these are great house plants to have and very durable
and easy to take care of
looks like it's a clear section and they actually have the Raphi on clearance imagine that this
plant on clearance I hear the aglaonemas and peperomia I I gave peperomia a chance I don't
think it's for me so I don't think we're gonna continue experimenting with peperomias yeah
look at all the Christmas decor already out the thing about Big Box store plants and I
think this also applies with Home Depot they have a one-year guarantee and perennials shrubs
and trees and actually I think this also applies to house plants so if you just keep the receipt
on your houseplants you can bring them back if they die on you and you get a refund or
you can you know exchange them for something else begonias I mean I did get a begonia maculata
from a trade but I didn't really explore begonias like I said I would this year just because
they're still not very appealing to me and even with the begonia maculata that I got
I'm still like uh on the fence about it but it's doing well it's in my terrarium but look
at this one it is pretty I can see the appeal it is pretty but as far as their care I'm
not really too crazy about them you know it's pretty the calathea dottie really nice plant
and also give me like the Halloween Vibes don't you think much of the hanging plants
but I do see again a hoya Crimson princess they're having this quite often now and they're
a little bit different than the hoya krimson princess that I get because mine has a little
bit more narrower leaves and this one is a little bit rounder another pretty begonia
as well and
tradescantia over here over there a lot of the nerve plants a lot of begonias surprisingly
I think this one is the waffle plant so this is another begonia that gives that very much
Halloween vibes and this font size I'm pretty sure this is not the linearis but it looks
very similar to it and I think it's the rhipsalis or something but yeah for fifteen dollars
but
I just spotted something I haven't seen one in a big box store ever since I've gotten
mine
this cebu blue pothos exotic Angel plants I havent seen this since I've gotten mine
and it's 15 dollars
i'm not going to get it because I already have one but I'm gonna put it back here because
I feel like so many purposely hid it so that they can get it so I'm just gonna put it back
there looking at the rest of the hanging plants I think that was the only one to but oh
this one looks pretty
also aglaonema was another one like the diffenbachia they have really good varieties that are very
underrated
seeing like the white variegation that
like the leaves are thinner so if you're looking for space and holding aglaonema this one's
probably a good choice alocasia polly
this one gives me a very witchy Vibe I don't know maybe it's just the Halloween and like
I'm seeing things in this plants that I never really thought of or seen before yeah I think
because it's Halloween and like this Growers just said let's deliver all our begonias this
big box stores for that Halloween Witch-y Day of the Dead vibes
love these saucers from Allen & Roth this one is the six inch this one's a four inch
I have the five inch ones for my or the 10 inch ones for my larger plants and I've been
waiting for it to come back but it sold out pretty quickly I love this pot I can't wait
for you to go in clearance because there's no way I'm paying 16 for this but it is so
cute look at that put in this color too but I think I prefer the other one oops see the
plant just come on now just put it on clearance so I can buy it
this sanseveria this is also very popular right now I think it's the bental sensation
love the variegation on it really pretty really nice neat plant and it's 22 dollars from Urban
Jungle I do think Urban Jungle prices are better especially for the plant and the planter
that you're getting
so yeah that was a fun trip at Lowe's I'm sorry if the camera is shaking but yeah I
mean they had really nice plants and like the dragon scale or the Silver Dragon I was
tempted to get it I'm not gonna lie but it is full we're transitioning into winter I
really don't want to add any more plants into my plant collection but we'll see maybe in
the future i notice already like coming into big box stores maybe I'll get one sometime
next year okay so now I'm gonna head to the dollar store because I need to get something
for one of my plants and I think that's the only thing that I plan to get there but we'll
see what also they have for like fall and stuff like that and let's go check it out
so I'm back home I'm making a late lunch I didn't end up going to the Dollar Store I
ended up going to Safeway instead and I got apple cider donuts and I got chocolate donut
hole and
I got chocolate chip cookies as you can see they're all reduced so just like 99 Cents
99 cents and this one is $1.99 and I got this has ordered something Savory with all the
sweets that I got and this is for like three dollars but but yeah so I'm gonna go finish
making lunch this is what I'm making making a burger gives us an impossible Burger we
get some mushrooms but yeah so I'm making my lunch and I'm gonna show you how I make
my impossible Burger so I'm using kewpie Mayo it just tastes a lot better than regular Mayo
I wholeheartedly agree and I toasted a couple slices of white bread and it has a hamburger
bun
so technically I'm already having a plant-based burger while I'm still putting vegetables
on my burger I don't know I just like want it to look like a regular burger I guess there
you go I would Grill some onions too but I forgot so it's just going to be grilled mushrooms
on top
there you go and there's a debate whether if you should cut your sandwiches diagonally
or like just in half with this one I'm gonna do it in half it just really depends on the
sandwich like if this was a real cheese I'll do it diagonally but since because this is
a burger in between two slices of white bread I'm just gonna cut it in the middle and there
you go that is lunch
and that is lunch
thank you so much for spending some time with me today and I'll see you at my next one bye
