Turning my bathtub into a chia pet for the ultimate spa day 🌱

Why I spent 2 years trying to print a middle finger After two years of trial and error, I finally turned a plastic water bottle into 3D printable filament — and successfully printed with it! From cutting the bottle into strips, feeding it through my homemade machine, dialing in the perfect temps, and battling with settings, I watched as my pulley spun and transformed trash into a roll of usable 1.7mm filament. The first thing I printed? A tiny middle-finger plant pot — because this journey deserved a sassy little win after everything it put me through. This is just the beginning. I'm going to share how you can build this machine yourself (It’s called the PETamentor2) — with a full parts list, wiring/parts guide, and setup instructions. The possibilities for recycling are endless, and I’m so pumped to keep going. DM me if you have questions — we’re in this together. ♻️✨

Alright, chia shrek ears are done and NOW we can enter the chia bathroom 😉

Watch me turn my bathroom into a living, breathing spa—tub ✅ sink ✅… do I dare go toilet?

The way it holds onto the webbing is amazing—almost as amazing as what’s coming next

I’ve officially turned my bathroom into one giant chia pet. Now when I flush, I water the ecosystem (and get an accidental bidet) 🌱🚽

Chia seeds are expensive, so I turned my bathroom into a garden and then planted it

Million year old geode? Or world’s most disappointing rock? When I couldn’t smash them open, I tumbled them for 9 weeks. This is the full story💚

And now I’m taking applications for a pet store chaperone…🐛🦋

Pink lemons exist…and I had to track them down 🍋💗

This is how I built a machine that melts plastic bottles into 3D printer material…who’s excited to build part 2?!

One trip to the pet store and now I have 2 pupating hornworms. And they pupated the same day! Someone supervise my next visit 😂 But seriously…Who’s excited to raise 2 more moths?!

It grew like a carpet and peeled right off! Now I kind of want to plant the bathroom to grow actual chia seeds?!

I won’t be able to enter the chia bath without chia nails 💅

Do lemons with edible peels really exist? I found out for myself. 🍋

What happens if you feed mealworms and let them grow? We’re about to find out.

Caught the exact moment they hatched… all because I “just went in for dog treats.” 🐛🦋

Are white asparagus really comparable to a slab of meat? I flew to Germany for answers. White asparagus—known in Germany as “white gold”—are a national obsession. They’re expensive, grown underground in total darkness, picked by hand, and get pampered like a spa guest. Some say they even taste like meat. But what really makes them so special? I flew to Germany to find out—how they’re grown, why they’re so prized, and whether they are truly worth the hype. From $70 roadside bundles to cooking in a countryside kitchen with hosts who raise sheep, horses, and bees—this turned into more than an asparagus adventure. But the real question is…does white asparagus live up to its legendary status? Does it actually taste like meat? And can they really only grow in Germany? Watch until the end to discover what white asparagus really taste like—and why this day meant so much to me.

4 of my butterflies changed overnight…the red ball means they’re ready!
