We have more headbands than EVER. It's on the cusp of ridiculousness, but isn't it fun? Come in for some summer fun and free air-conditioning--all day, everyday.

Pothos

If you're looking for a houseplant for your home or office, let us introduce you to the Pothos. This is one of our best-selling green plants. Its popularity stems from its resilience and overall easy care. It seems to handle artificial light very well and minimal watering (1-2 times per week should do it). It is often known for its trailing growth pattern, but we recommend regular pruning to ensure full and lush foliage. A potted pothos can be purchased from our plant area for as little as $1.99. If you're looking for something a bit more substantial, our 6" foliage plants are only $12.99.

Our good friends at Wikipedia describe it this way:

It is a popular houseplant with numerous cultivars selected for leaves with white, yellow, or light green variegation. It is often used in decorative displays in shopping centers, offices, and other public locations largely because it is a very hardy plant that requires little care and is also attractively leafy. It is also efficient at removing indoor pollutants such as formaldehyde, xylene, and benzene^[1][2] A study found that this effect became less the higher the molecular weight of the polluting substance.^[3]

As a houseplant it can reach a height of two meters or more, given suitable support. For best results it requires medium indirect light; bright light is tolerated, but lengthy spells of direct sun will scorch the leaves. The plant prefers a temperature of between 17 to 30 °C (63 to 86 °F). Generally it only needs water when the soil begins to feel dry to the touch. For best results a liquid fertilizer can be added in spring, and they should be repotted every couple of years. However, this is a robust plant that can stand a very high degree of abuse. It will grow hydroponically quite readily.

The plant is listed as "toxic to cats, toxic to dogs" by the ASPCA, because of the presence of insoluble calcium oxalates. Care should be taken to ensure the plant is not consumed by house pets or children. Symptoms may include oral irritation, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing.^[4]

Fruit and Flowers

Here's a fun idea for summer.....add fruit to your flower arrangements! Great for a wedding centerpiece, barbeque or just on your kitchen table. Step 1: Put Oranges, lemons or limes in a vase (whole or sliced). Step 2: Add water. Step 3: Add flowers. So simple and fresh!

Back From L.A.

Just back from the streets of Los Angeles. Glad to be home in my own bed--dreaming of the fun things that will be arriving as a result of lots of walking and hunting. Some men go out into the wilderness for days searching for wild game. I go out into the urban wilderness for days searching for wildly insane cuteness. The only difference is that I stayed at the Sheraton and traded in my orange vest for a knit cardigan. So, here's just a taste of what we have coming.

You're going to LOVE the vintage goodness of Cody Foster and Co. Lots of amazing ornaments. Oh, they are BEE-utiful. In fact, a Mr. Cody Foster even wrote my order.The hunt also brought about some Love & Toast. Did someone say roller-ball perfumes? Hand cream? Lip balm? Well, they're on their way, darlings! Who doesn't want to smell like a Dew Blossom? Seriously.

These fun new lines should be arriving soon--along with a slew of others. It was a good hunting trip, to say the least.

Happy National Ice-Cream MONTH

The dog days of summer are here. What does that mean, anyway? Well, I can tell you one thing--it means we're celebrating National Ice Cream month at CCF with a vengeance. Tasha scored a Fat Boy ice cream bar yesterday and it inspired a frozen dairy craze. If you're in the Wilkinson Student Center this month, be sure and stop by to visit our friends at the Sugar & Spice where they serve ice cream delights straight from the BYU Creamery. If you have a spare minute or two, click here to play the BYU Creamery Game. It's like a super-sweet version of Tetris.

Better go. It's time to hit the creamery for my Bishop's Bash in a waffle cone. Oh, summer, how we love thee!
