Our garden is a sanctuary, and as such we want to make it as pretty as possible. Unfortunately, not all plants work within the amount of space we have available. You must know which plants can fit, and which will look good in your own yard before you start planting. So ProFlowers created a guide to help you be the “Goldilocks” of your garden—know which plants are too tall, too short or just right.

Will your garden be a jungle or a well-manicured, knee-high spectacle for the eyes? Either way, be sure you’ll make the right choice. For more garden inspiration find ProFlowers on Pinterest.

Beyond the landfills and trash heaps moldering in almost every town and city across the globe, manmade garbage has found its way into the natural landscape on a mind-boggling scale. It seems as though there are virtually no places left on Earth free of our rubbish. Junk can be found everywhere – from the bellies of animals and the tissues of our own bodies to the world’s vast oceans.

I have always liked giving functional presents for these holiday season as well as for birthdays. And most of the years I make some time to create the gifts myself, maybe is only the wrapping (not that I create the gift per se) but something that makes it unique and more personalised. I have collected some ideas, a few but quite not so common, that I hope they inspire you.

Click on the image to go to the source and/or tutorial. Don’t forget to send a picture or Instagram it and hashtag ecogreenlove to share your ideas with us! With your ideas we can make this community grow even more! Thank you for following and happy upcycling! 🙂

Starting out at college is a time of excitement, anticipation, and oftentimes, extreme nervousness. There are a whole host of prospects that can leave any freshman filled with anxiety, from making friends to maintaining good grades to knowing which classes to take. One of the biggest sources of anxiety for students, however, is unrelated to academics: A large percentage of students greatly fear the famous and dreaded freshman 15. The truth is, this isn’t an irrational fear: Most college students will gain between 15 and 25 pounds by the end of their sophomore year. One of the main causes of the freshman 15? Lack of exercise: Not only do the majority of college students not get the recommended amount of exercise, one in three just don’t exercise at all. To be fair, finding time for exercise in the midst of busy college life can be challenging, but there are some great ways that that particular hurdle can be side-stepped. Today’s infographic takes a look at the best ways for college students to stay fit even in the middle of a dorm room. From cardio to strength training to flexibility, there’s a myriad of ways in which even the biggest of couch potatoes can beat the freshman 15.
