On top of doing some light filtering of your air, plants can offer you almost boundless benefits to your indoor life. For starters, taking care of plants and offering them room to grow can make you happier, give you a therapeutic feeling. Taking care of plants also offers calming effects; reduces stress and illness; boosts productivity, concentration, and creativity; eases mental fatigue the same way they would if you were walking through nature.

The Best Indoor Plants

SNAKE PLANTS: Reputation for surviving drought

POTHOS: Best for people living in less-than-ideal plant environments

ZZ PLANT: Low-light environment; extremely dry tolerant and low maintenance

BIRD’S NEST FERN: Thrives in indirect light and a humid environment

PHILODENDRON: Known as one of the easiest houseplants to grow

While keeping your air clean is important, it isn’t the only step to creating an indoor oasis. It’s also important to create a safe and healthy space to wake up and fall asleep in—and spend every moment in between. When it comes to falling asleep, it’s important to put a limit on your screen time. That means removing the screens from your bedroom, including TVs, iPads, computers, and phones. We suggest replacing your phone alarm clock with a digital one on your nightstand or even taking it a step further and using a SoundSpa® with a sunrise feature so you wake up with a gentle light that mimics a sunrise. These tips will help you embrace your circadian rhythm (aka: your sleep-wake cycle that helps you sleep better, have more consistent energy, and maintain a normal eating schedule).

Light, color, scents, artwork, and music all affect your mood. According to Ananta Ripa Ajmera of the Ayurveda tradition, marigold flowers are a component to the healing process because they are the color of the sun, which is considered a symbol of the bright spirit within ourselves and represents our inner spiritual fire. They give you clarity, optimism, and cheerfulness, making them a great plant to smell or look at when you’re experiencing grief or, like many during quarantine, loneliness.

While fresh flowers are a great way to experience an instant mood adjustment, diffusing essential oils while listening to your favorite songs or adding brighter colors to your space can help boost your mood as well.

Decluttering means something different for everyone. From our email inboxes to our bedroom closets to what’s taking up space in our minds, we can easily get off track and become disorganized. Over a lifetime, it’s simple to acquire small trinkets that take up too much space in our homes or negative thoughts in our minds that don’t serve us. Check out a few tips below to help you clear your space (home, mind, and otherwise).

Declutter Your Indoor Oasis

1. Ask a friend or family member if they’d have any use for your unwanted items.
2. List your items on Poshmark or Offerup.
3. Of course, there are items that you’ll just want to throw out, but another thing to keep in mind is whether or not it should be recycled, shredded first (hello social-security-revealing documents), or repurposed.
4. Books: While everyone’s libraries are looking really great on virtual meetings, you’re probably not going to reread all of those books. Consider donating the ones you’ll never read again to a neighborhood free library, your public library, or send a few to your friends and family to clear up space. Consider an e-reader before buying another book.
5. Another tip to stop the clutter before it starts is to try to say no to impulse purchases or free items like water bottles or t-shirts that look and sound great now but will inevitably end up in your junk drawer or the back of your closet or cabinet.
6. We know nostalgia is hitting harder than ever now, but it will feel good to part with the past. We’re not saying to get rid of everything, but you can probably get rid of that receipt from 2018, your People magazines from 1999 (spoiler alert, Jen and Brad don’t make it), and if you can replace your printed photos with a digital picture frame that’s another great way to stay clutter free.

1. Email Inbox: If you’re using Outlook, you’re likely making use of the “focused” and “other” folders, in gmail there’s options to have folders for primary emails, social messages, and designated folders specifically for promotional emails which definitely helps keep your inbox focused. If those aren’t keeping you organized enough, try making folders for each project you’re working on to customize your organization.
2. Text Messages: Like the clothing hanging in your closet, unless you’re rereading messages or holding on to a text for a sentimental reason, hit the delete button to declutter an inbox that you’re constantly looking at.
3. Pictures: Pictures can be backed up to the cloud or downloaded onto a USB drive that you can plug into your TV or a digital picture frame. Save space on your phone's hard drive and remove ones that you’re not looking at every week.

Free Up Your Mind

1. Meditate: Find a practice that works for you to de-stress and declutter your mind.
2. Journal: Writing down your negative thoughts can help free up room in your mind for positivity.
3. End the negative self talk: Give yourself a positive pep talk every morning, write in your gratitude journal, write yourself a love letter speaking to your best qualities (spoiler alert: it’s all of them).

While you may have your favorite household products, chances are they’re filled with particles you wouldn’t want your family to inhale. Ozone Clean is our go-to cleaning, deodorizing, and sanitizing solution. It’s a 3-in-1 multipurpose cleaner made entirely from tap water so it’s totally toxin free. Another simple step to creating healthier and cleaner air in your home is to invest in an air purifier that can remove smoke, pet dander, unwanted air particles, and pollutants that you don’t want your family (or yourself) breathing in.

In order to remove any negativity from your newly found indoor oasis, take the time to appreciate what you love about your home and find gratitude for your space. Start by writing these notes down in your journal or write an entire letter to your home about why it’s special to you, how it’s helped you through the hard times, and why it makes you feel safe. Bonus: You can do the same for yourself, your friends, and your family. Grounding your space in gratitude will add even more positivity to your oasis.
