After 32 days…the rocks are finally ready for the very last step! The gem foam will tumble for 3 more (long and tiring) days, which will make them shiny. I’m so excited to see the final result! Are you? Btw, after the 3 days pass, I’m going to try different types of glass and sea/beach rocks, so let me know if you have any suggestions for me and I will totally try do it!💚 The rocks tumbler is in my amazon shop if you want to purchase it! Link in bio 🙏 #rocks #tumble #kit #results

The last step is to polish the rocks with fairy pixie dust and gem foam…I’m so excited! They look amazing! If you’re new here and wondering what’s going on here…first - thanks for stopping by! Second - we’re tumbling 5 beach rocks, and about 20 rocks that came with the tumbler. I’m doing this so I can see if the rocks I’ve collected over the years will turn into crystals! The rock tumbler is in my amazon shop and the link is in my bio! And if you were wondering what tumbling stones actually is?! Well.. tumbled stones (also occasionally called tumbled crystals, polished stones, tumbled gemstones) are small pieces of natural rock or a mineral like quartz (often found at places like the beach) that have been polished until entirely smooth, typically by sanding them down with a rock tumbler. I’ve got so many rocks collected over the years so I can’t wait to see what happens and keep trying new types of beach rocks and maybe even glass! #beach #rock #crystal #polished #stone #tumbler #experiment #follow #along

How I Grew A Starbucks Garden If you want to grow a garden then go to Starbucks and order their dragonfruit drink. It comes with a few pieces of dehydrated fruit coated in sugar. Then ask if they still have dehydrated kiwi pieces and do it with the kiwi, too! This is the full story! (This is not sponsored in any way by Starbucks, but it should be!!!). #garden #experiment #dragonfruit #howtowithjessie

Oceans take thousands of years to polish rocks, so I got a rock tumbler to do it in 4 weeks - Only 1 more step to go till they’re done!! I think they look amazing! What do you think?💚 After this I’m going to try different types of glass and sea rocks, lmk if you have any suggestions for me! #tumbling #rocks #crystals

Blueberries are one of the few naturally occurring blue foods. They were once used to make dye for fabrics because of the strong colour in their skin and juice, which is a pigment called anthocyanin! So I decided to grow them! #blueberries #garden #plant #howtowithjessie

What happens when you plant watermelons on a balcony🤔

Guess my unconventional methods trying to crack rocks open worked just fine 😉 Let me know if you have any suggestions on opening the last 3! You can purchase the rock geode kit in my amazon shop btw! Link in bio💚 #rock #geode #fyp

We’re gonna have tomatoes from a Mcdonald’s hamburger soon!

Cracking open geode # 2! What I found inside amazed me! While we wait for the rocks to finish tumbling, I got 10 geodes to crack open! Geodes are hollow rocks where crystals form, and they form when groundwater carrying minerals seeps into the tiny holes in the rock! They’re also found in volcanoes when gas from lava gets trapped in the holes of the rocks and crystals appear. These processes take millions of years! I bought a hammer (finally) for the last 7 rocks because these things are actually so hard to crack open! If you want to buy this geode kit, it’s in my amazon shop and the link is in my bio! Just be careful when cracking them open - you can also put the rocks in a sock and hammer them across the centre like a coconut to open them that way! #geode #rock #open #surprise

Cracking 10 geodes open to see what lives inside! While we wait for the rocks to finish tumbling, I got some geodes! Geodes are hollow rocks where beautiful crystals form. In order for a geode to form, rocks have tiny holes that groundwater carrying minerals seeps into and once layers build up inside the rock, crystals form! They’re also found in volcanoes when gas from lava gets trapped in the holes of the rocks and crystals appear. These processes take millions of years! I’m going to get a hammer to crack the rest open, but if you’re even an ounce as excited as I am to see what’s inside, let me know! If you want to buy them, they’re in my amazon shop and the link is in my bio. But if you do, just be careful - you can also put the rocks in a sock and hammer them across the centre like a coconut to open them that way! #rock #geode #howtowithjessie #fyp

In the wise words of the Veruca Salt..”daddy, I want a squirrel” - here’s the long awaited updated y’all have been waiting all summer for🥑😂 How long it really takes to grow an avocado seed🥑 #avocado

600 days ago I planted a pineapple to see if it would actually only produce one fruit. & it’s now one of the few plants I’m actually not failing at😂🍍 The much anticipated end-of-summer update! I’m going to repot her soon but I’m scared to bring her inside!😂 #pineapple #update

Apparently when you dissolve 2 ingredients in water with food colouring, it can produce crystals! So I obviously tried it 🙃 There are two ingredients that help plants grow big and fast. So I took those two ingredients and experimented to see if instead of growing plants, i could grow crystals. I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. I got this peacock and I dipped the edges in food colouring. Then I added those two ingredients that help plants grow at the base of my peacock - potassium and phosphorous. When I mixed them together with water, they dissolved and then the liquid started to climb up the peacock, which is actually a process called capillary action, you can compare it to the way plants drink water from their roots up through their stems to give the leaves more life and to help them grow! Once the liquid was done climbing the peacock, it evaporated and that’s when I began to see little tiny bits start to stick together and crystallize, forming what we know as crystals! I learned that when you dissolve potassium phosphate in water together with a food colourant, it can produce beautiful crystals that match the shape the form on! So…not only did we grow crystals but we also learned that there actually is a way to make plants grow bigger and stronger. Cool, huh? #crystals #grow #cool #science

I tried growing carrots and this happened instead…🥕 #carrot #plant #grow

I wanted to know if peppers can actually grow in just 2 months, so I tried it🫑🌶️
