Succulent Terrarium from Floral Garage Singapore


Feeling bored with the emptiness of your office desk? Or getting tired with the dull environment of your living room?

Placing a terrarium in your living room or on your office desk will certainly deliver liveliness and brighten up your mood with its natural touch.


Big thanks to Floral Garage Singapore for sending me this simple yet lovely Succulent Terrarium. Not only it's a great birthday gift for myself, I can use it to add some color to my living room.

This is an open terrarium as succulents adapt to dry climates, and this allows air flow in the terrarium to prevent excess moisture.

Busy people like us, however, tend to forget watering and rendering adequate care to plants. This make succulent terrarium a perfect one to keep for these people (because it's so easy to maintain).

Simple tips to care for a succulent terrarium

  • Light
    • Succulents have a preference for bright or direct light.
    • You want to place your succulent terrarium in a spot with sufficient and adequate light, but at the same time monitor and make adjustment as the glass may have refracted and magnified direct sunlight, causing your succulents to burn.
  • Water
    • Succulents are drought tolerant because they're able to store water in their stems and leaves. Water when the soil has gone almost completely dry.
    • Rule of thumb: Water once a fortnight
    • Watering terraria with spray bottle is pretty common, but be careful not to leave obvious water marks on the inside of the glass.
    • When you notice shriveled leaves, it's time to water. If you notice spongy and dark-colored leaves, you're probably watering too much.

Check out their website for a variety of terraria which you too can use for a green decoration idea. They also deliver products like hand bouquets, dried flowers, bridal bouquets, flower stand, party supplies and hampers.

Laptop Table from Primero


First of all, thanks Primero for sending me a Sato Classic Laptop Mobile Cart to try out.


If you didn't know, Primero is a newly emerged online furniture store in Singapore, which focuses on wide range of trendy yet affordable Scandinavian styled furniture.

Let's talk about this laptop mobile cart, not only it's sturdy and wide, it even has a separate mouse table to allow the user to alter the height, because I would say it's ergonomic that mouse is at the elbow height and the laptop screen is at eye level. I don't like to strain my neck for looking at my laptop screen downwards, so this is definitely a plus point.

Besides, it's a mobile cart, I can literally drag it to my bedside or the couch wherever I feel like using my laptop.




What about iPad or Kindle? Similarly, I find this laptop table ergonomic for use of such devices as well, with the surface being able to rotate clockwise-anticlockwise and tilt up-down, especially for readers and musicians. Move this laptop table with you to wherever you feel like reading or playing your instrument with a music score on your iPad.

Do check out Primero's new arrivals, they provide free shipping and installation services for purchases over $100.
