Hi Meagi and welcome to A.B.
Your tree is a Juniper Procumbens and there are quite a few here. They need to live outside and be watered at least Daily thru summer and depending on where you are.

Learn how to keep the soil moist but not wet and to rewater when need. Never let the soil dry out completely as a Juniper will die if you do.
Check out the links in my Signature for some great links to our Wiki where you can find out what you need to do to keep your tree alive and healthy.

As for styling, I Would wired down one of the left shoots as a first branch rather than use the little twig. I would remove that one
