Whenever I visit a florist or my local farmers market I'm in awe of the fascinating things they do with flowers. Flowers, for decoration, flowers for garnish and even edible flowers! Flowers are no longer reserved for funerals and weddings.
The addition of flowers has a way of brightening up a room and your mood. When was the last time you saw a vase of fresh cut flowers and didn't smile? Just knowing how beautiful nature can be is a smile within itself.
Sometimes when my mood is funky and my pockets are not full I take part in what I call "Flower Therapy." Similar to Retail Therapy, my version of flower therapy lifts my mood and my home, once I arrive home with my bundle of joy. I go to my local florist, walk around inhale the intoxicating aromas that different flowers emit. My mood is lifted and I choose a bouquet or arrangement that really makes my day or maybe my week depending on how long my arrangement lasts.
During the Christmas Holidays I like to choose carnations to decorate my home. Carnations are really inexpensive but they last a very long time. Carnations are available in several colors, I usually choose the traditional colors of white, red and green.
With all of the hustle and bustle and stress the holidays
can bring, sometimes it’s nice to steal a moment and sit and smell the flowers.
I realize many of us don’t live near florist. That’s ok you can always go
online and buy flowers with interflora. Visiting their website and perusing their vast assortment of flowers can be both soothing as well as intoxicating. Many online florist ship all over the world, including online florists in London.
So the next time you're in a funky mood, or the stress of the holidays have gotten you down, a good remedy if you can't get to a local florist, visit an online florist.
