Monday Mingling

Hello ladies, my name is Jesyka and I am linking up with Monday Mingling. I have been away for awhile and when I got back on last week I realized my normal link-up had disappeared so this week I decided to try another.
Lets see, what can I tell you about me? I am 30 something, live in southeastern OH, small town girly-o. I am into fixing computers, candle making, mixing essential oils, scrap-booking (although, it's been a long time), poetry and studying Psychology and Aromatherapy.

My blog is essentially to share my experience, strength and hope with others hoping that someone will find the right advice they may need, or just for them to know they are not alone. I have 3 different mental health issues that I deal with daily and I am also a recovering addict. I just want to share my story. Other than that I like linking-up and blogging about normal life experiences such as recipes, things I love, and my favorite one - how I lost weight! I also have newer blog for my poetry. I post one each week, so please check it out also if you like poetry.

And that is my introduction, now you know a lot about me and I can't wait to learn a lot about you. Join in on Monday Mingling!

Good Day Everyone!!!

It's Jesyka and today is Sunday and I'm here linking up with Ashley and Neely for:

Grab a button and Link-up too!

1. What is something you've always wanted to do but are afraid of?

I have always wanted to water ski. Looks like so much fun but I'm honestly afraid of being that far out in deep water. :-(

2. Where do you see yourself in five years?

In 5 years, anywhere better than here. Likely to be starting a new career, but who knows where life will lead me. I tend to go with the flow of life's forces.

3. What are you looking forward to before the end of 2013?

Being skinny again. I'm where I wanted to be, early so now for the next 4 months I want to drop 10 more pounds.

4. What are your hopes for your blog?

I hope that I will gain more friends and write better posts.

5. Do you always see yourself living in your current town/city?

Actually I am in the midst of planning a move sometime soon, hopefully by the end of the year. And then I plan on making that town my official home for life. Although if a great opportunity arose, I might just jump on it.

6. What is your morning routine?

Routine? What routine. That's something I need to get.
I wake up, get water, smoke (gross), make tea, take a  shower, get dressed, drink tea and check email, Facebook and Words with Friends and text my baby Good Morning, do make-up and go on about my day. 

Thanks for reading more about me, link up so I can read about you! Have a lovely week.

Get Rid of Plant Mold

I have a lot of indoor plants, and not enough space or window sills. For some reason this winter to spring I got a major mold problem. When I started having trouble breathing I thought about it and started researching ways to get rid of it. I'm going to draft this and wait about a week before I actually post it. I totally have to make sure it works first, lol. So ladies step by step this here is how I got rid of my moldy soil.

The first thing I tried was to let the plant dry completely out. I realized the reason for my mold was over watering. I wasn't over watering all of them but of course different types of plants require different care. Anyway that was not working. Next, I removed the molded soil by scooping out the top layer. And then I topped of each plant with new soil and sprinkled cinnamon on top.

Boy did that smell good for awhile. And also it worked for about 2 weeks. I do believe that the cinnamon helped. Also during all of this I have had little flags and rubber animals and a few memento's decorating my plants. I left them out until 2 days ago. When I placed them back into the plants and watered them now today I have a little mold on half of them. I took care of 2 of them. Made a horrible mess but got it cleaned up immediately. This is what I decided to try, and what this blog is about. In a month if they are better I will post this.

First I went ahead and got rid of all the soil, just in case. Then I cleaned the pots and water holders. I went outside and found some rocks. I placed a layer of rock on the bottom of the pot and then replanted with new  organic soil. After filling, I watered the dry soil. When I was completely finished I went around to all my beautiful lovely plants and sprinkled cinnamon. I guess I'll find out if it works. I may have to do all of my plants which is fine with me. A really awesome thing that happened is that on one of my plants I had a round pot, it was a layered design. I really thought that it was one pot with a layered rim, but when I transported everything I found out it wasn't layered at all, it was 5 pots stacked upon each other. Totally awesome stuff.

Now it is a month or two later. I have no mold on my plants. I replanted every plant, layered the bottom with rocks, sprinkled Cinnamon in all of them, left all decorations out of them and watered each of them with 1/2 cup of water about every 2 weeks. Now they are mold free. Finally.

Hey everyone, thanks for stopping by. Today I am linking up with Ashley and Neely. Today is Fathers Day so happy, happy dad's day to everyone being a dad.

1. What is your biggest driving pet peeve?

I hate when people pull out RIGHT in front of me, and whenever I am sitting at a 3 or 4 way and I need to turn and the car I'm waiting on has no blinker and ends up turning. I could have went 3 minutes ago, geez people.

2. What is your biggest blogging pet peeve?

I hope it's because I lack experience plus I can't type the right way but it seems to take me a very long time.

3. What is your biggest general pet peeve?

Leftover face hair in my bathroom sink, pee on the seat, and loud snoring, which is rude of my to say because they can't help it but I can't get any sleep.

I promise these are it, I am not man hating, lol. Especially not today of all days. Love you daddy.

4. What is your most irrational fear?

OMG, do I really have to share this. OK I'm always honest so my biggest irrational fear is making a phone call. No matter what, any and all phone calls. IDKY

5. Name 3 celebrities you'd want to have dinner with.

This shakes things up a bit.

James Maynard Keenan from Tool, shoot I want to marry him.

Maria Brink from In This Moment, her voice is so beautiful that I'd like to sit and listen to her talk.

Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard to discuss what awesome products they are creating next, HP has always been my favorite computer brand. I love my Envy6 more and more everyday.
