Pilea is my first plant that I got after arriving in the city. I bought it from a very sweet lady on Facebook Marketplace towards the end of August.

I didn’t have an answer to give her…

She also mentions instances when it is easier, more important, and hence better off to physically…

Who is behind the machine? How much do they know about me? To what extent am I being tracked? One of the creepiest…
My teammates and I went to shops to identify and choose the smells we’d like to use. We ended up at a store called Kalustyans at 28th and Lex Ave. I was surprised to see such wide range of aromatics, that too from all over the world!
