Whether you are a professional dancer or still a beginner, there are a few essentials and several accessories that every dancer should always have in their dance bag. However, when it comes to the shoes, there's no such thing as one type fits every tap. For each style of dance, there is a different type of shoes.

We love admiring colourful and luscious houseplants, don't we? They give a natural beauty to the space and give off pleasantly refreshing scents. While plants are certainly visually appealing, that's not the only thing about them. Indoor plants also emit oxygen and absorb carbon monoxide, thus helping to keep the air clean. Plus, according to a study by NASA, indoor plants may also remove, or at least decrease, toxins in the air. Having said that, the presence of greenery can not only enrich your living space and help boost your mood, but it can also be good for your health. So, there really shouldn't be any reason not to bring some beautiful plants to your home. Even if you consider yourself to lack a green thumb or simply don't have the time to properly take care of plants, there are innovative solutions that can help your indoor garden thrive. And one such solution is planting in self-watering pots.
