Oh yeah, I’m all in! A tiny zen garden can be a real mood‑softer. Grab a shallow dish, a handful of smooth river stones, some fine sand, and maybe a little figurine or two. Sweep the sand into patterns, drop the stones like tiny mountains, and voila—instant calm. If you’re feeling candle‑time, try making a soy wax candle with a lavender scent. Melt the wax, stir in a teaspoon of dried lavender buds, pour into a small jar with a wooden stick wick, and let it set. It’s simple, it smells great, and the flicker will put the whole room in a mellow mood. Ready to get our hands dirty?

Sounds perfect! I’ll bring some shredded paper, a little glue, and a paintbrush—just in case we want to add a touch of color. Let’s make this space a quiet retreat. I can’t wait to see what calm we create together.
