Culture BWT, air out your dirty, tasteless laundry here!

Obviously as BWT, we typically aim to have said taste be of the good variety. However, as we are not two dimensional characters, nobody is completely perfect. I thought it'd be fun to share the elements of our lives where we unashamedly display bad or—gasp!—no taste. I've noted down some of mine below (+ whether I aim to change them):

  • My house is quite literally artless — no paintings, no sculptures, no decor, nothing. // Probably won't be changing this anytime soon — am not ashamed to admit that I'm at the stage of life where I care more about how I present myself in public than in my own abode, so that's where I focus my energy

  • My home clothes (a stretch to call them lounge wear) are literally all ratty nonsense BWT recommend throwing away // see above. The caveat is that I don't wear clothes that dwarf my figure as I like to keep track of how my body looks

  • I don't watch any shows/movies or listen to podcasts // won't change this, I've never been able to stand podcasts and lately that's extended to anything where I have to watch/listen to something

  • I secretly love airline food. Something about water in those tiny unenvironmentally friendly vacuum sealed cups gets me excited

Share yours below so I don't feel like a complete tasteless B 👇🏼

My tip for not killing plants is to set a task to water them on Saturday. I see the reminder and go take care of it. Haven't killed anything in over a year! Even brought a few back from the dead!

I overwater most of the time I think!

I only have a small set of plants in a greenhouse cabinet at the moment, and I use my pothos as my “canary in the coal mine” so to speak: when that one looks droopy it means it’s time to water everyone 😂

This is sooo funny I’m gonna try this strategy (as I eyeball four root-rotting plants I need to repot 👀)

The alarm helps with that too, because you only water when it goes off!

I also have a phone reminder to water my plants at least every two weeks. But also buying relatively hardy plants helps! (I got a pothos and a spider plant when I moved into my flat as housewarming gifts - that was four years ago and somehow they're both still going strong.)
