Things I Can’t Live Without: My Saab Convertible

Posted on

The warm weather has arrived and I can’t think of anything nicer than going for a spin with the top down in my Saab convertible.

I bought it from my brother Tim last August, so this is our first spring season together. And yes, it is true love.

With some good music blaring, it’s the closest I’ll ever get to a magic carpet ride.

Special bonus this month: Be the third person to click here to tell me what you can’t live without and I’ll send you a RocketGirl memory stick.

Things I Can’t Live Without : My Plant-centric Friend, Laura

Posted on


Laura Trainer knows plants. And why shouldn’t she? She’s the owner of Exquisite Tropicals, an indoor plant care company that serves the greater Boston area. Laura is the most knowledgeable person I know on the planet when it comes to making growing things thrive.

Take my indoor Fichus tree. It’s 15 years old and going strong, all thanks to Laura, who’s also really nice. She sent me an incredible Ming Aralia as a housewarming gift last month and it…is…fabulous!

If you want your plants regularly cared for by an expert, or simply need a one-time consultation to find out which plants are best for you and your home, she’s your go to girl!
