When life gives you infinite quarantines, grow your own fruit tree.

One of my most satisfying activities is tending my garden. My front yard is flourishing with culinary herbs, fruits, and vegetables, and I don't think I'm ever going to tire of seeing home-sown seedlings. Here's the newest addition to my plant family. I don't really like the taste of guyabano (soursop) but findings suggest that it could be beneficial for those with diabetes, which runs in my family. Who would have thought that I would get into gardening? I could barely keep a mung bean plant alive in science class. For me gardening is a stress buster, and it feels cool to eat stuff you grew yourself.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:

When the Agave is Fine, But the Decanter is Finer

I rarely drink tequila, but this limited-edition Reposado from Gran Agave makes my brain scream: "I must own this thing!" I'm buying it not because of the balanced flavor and aroma, smooth texture, or even purity—but because I really like the ceramic ghost-shaped decanter. Once it's empty, I'll just refill it with something cheaper, just to keep the Halloween spirit alive.
