There are quite a bit of different flowers that you could go with, but the most easily attainable and sought-after ones are listed below. Perhaps you can find them at a nearby farmer’s market in Atlanta. Here they are:

1.        Gardenia

2.        Lavender

3.        Scented Geraniums

4.        Indoor Citrus

5.        Orchids

The effect you’re trying to provoke is what should ultimately make you choose the flower/fragrance. If you want a more calming environment because you’re prone to anxiety, get some lavender. If you want something more stimulating, then go with a more citrus plant/flower. You’ll be amazed at the effects the smell of these flowers will have on you as they waft through the air.

Also, it’s kind of nice to indulge yourself to a pretty sight like flowers- I mean, when was the last time you bought flowers from yourself? Every time you walk past them you’re going to remember that purchasing them was an act of self-love and an attempt to make your life in your Atlanta apartments better. What’s better than that?

So do your research as the seasons transition and hit up your local farmer’s market to stock up on some flowers. Who knows, maybe this mini-investment will be the start of a whole new lifestyle attracting love and positivity for you. Make the most out of what Atlanta has to offer!

Here are some other ways to go green:

1. Avoid buying plastic/Styrofoam cups and utensils to use as dishes and use real dishes instead. After all, the smaller the pile of trash you create is, the smaller footprint you leave on earth and the less amount you contribute to piles of garbage that may eventually get dumped in the ocean.

2. Try growing your own seasoning or fruits and vegetables. Even in your Atlanta apartments, you’re allowed to bring in little pots that you can have in a section and monitor with the right amount of light and water in order to grow healthy things for yourself. This will emit good CO2 in your department, save you money on groceries and bags/trash/gas associated with groceries, and could encourage fellow visitors in your apartments to do the same.

3. As mentioned briefly above, be conscientious of how you use and abuse your utilities. Use natural light whenever possible and make sure that lights and fans are turned off if you aren’t in a room. Although it could be tempting to put the AC on at an extreme setting to keep the house cool, try opening windows and using other alternatives to block the sun out of where you live to keep your house cool.

1. Do some research to figure out if there are any places to go camping where you live and plan a weekend camping trip solo or with friends.
2. Check out your local farmer’s market. It’s a nice way to get outdoors and mingle with your community while also doing something productive- shopping for fresh produce for your house.
3. See if there are any musical concerts taking place around your neighborhood. Eventbrite is a great site to check out…you simply type in your zip code, and they’ll let you know what’s going on and when. The great thing about this site is that they don’t only have music events- they have events of all kinds!
4. Go on Groupon to see if you can get any discounts for group activities you can enjoy with your friends.
5. See if any local museums have any exhibits that are now opening.
