Wild About Plants at the Kitchen Sink
Back to Grow Something or Fall 2026

It’s always fun to pull out the seasonal decor and be reminded of the pieces in your collection. Trader Joe's features a variety of seasonal Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) sugar skull planters, and I picked this one up last year. I am a sucker for the plants at TJ’s, and I have to force myself to resist grabbing one (or three) before I ever cross the threshold. But when you get a planter with the purchase, it’s the gift that keeps on giving in my book!
I have no idea what plant came in this planter, but I repurposed the pot for my crazy “Halloween hair don’t care” succulent! I thought it would be fun to put it by the sink for everyone to enjoy, but the idea evolved into a spot to also highlight a couple of plants I am rooting in water from a neighborhood plant swap. The wild, growing roots fit the vibe on the left, and the right side showcases some of my new favorite dōTERRA products.
I have been using and loving the abōde Multi-Purpose Surface Cleaner for over a year, and I added the corresponding dish soap and dispenser to my last order. It smells great, like the cleaner, and it really cuts through grease and stuck-on food.
I recently attended the dōTERRA national convention in Orlando, and a couple of ladies told me that the foaming hand wash is their favorite product from the line if they had to pick one. That definitely piqued my interest, and they have two kinds. I used rewards points to get the abōde Foaming Hand Wash Concentrate Infused with Citrus Bloom and the matching dispenser to pull the look together. I can attest that the soap is so nice, and I am already using it in my guest bathroom too!
In addition to the three live plants adorning my sink (spider plant, climbing aloe, and satin pothos), my family also gets to tap into the amazing power of the following plants every time we wash our hands or dishes!
