#our poor lil aloe vera keeps getting neglected and may go a week without direct sunlight before we remember to put it outside or by a window

my moms folks grew up poor so they kept aloe vera plants to put on burns n shit so it’s weird to see like beauty gurus talk about aloe vera gels when you can just... use the plant.

#like aloe vera plants aren't expensive at all and you can just. #keep growing them yourself #theyre insanely hardy too #our poor lil aloe vera keeps getting neglected and may go a week without direct sunlight before we remember to put it outside or by a window #and just? #it does fine #i mean ours is a reasonably large one #its pot is about the size of my head #but for as much as yall get in those beauty product packages #you could get a tiny one and cut off a leaf every now and then and scoop the innards into a jar to use later
