A BOUQUET OF WORDS

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! 

Flowers. They’re part of all the big occasions in our lives, from birth to death. We recognize the joy they bring us during celebrations, and the comfort they bring us during times of sorrow. But for some reason, when it comes to having flowers in our everyday life, they can be thought of as frivolous or a waste of money. The truth is, flowers have a positive impact on our well-being all the time and we should have them in our lives every day. That’s what ‘The Floral Prescription’, is all about, using flowers to make our lives - and the lives of those around us - happier and healthier every day of the year.

As a new year begins I thought it would be the perfect time to give you an overview of what I’ll be sharing with you in the upcoming weeks and months.

The Whys: There have been a lot of studies on the positive effect flowers have on our mental, physical and emotional well-being. Without getting too ‘sciencey’ about it, we’ll delve deeper into this research and the actual reasons why flowers are good for us.

The Practicalities: I think many people would like to have flowers in their home and workplace but believe they don’t have the money to do so.  One of my main goals for this year is to show you that flowers can be affordable. I’ll share with you all the budget-friendly ways you can have flowers in your daily life, and give you tons of tips and tricks on how to care for flowers, helping them to have a longer vase life.

Bonuses: I love how flowers play a role in all areas of life. I’ll shower you with information on edible flowers, floral scented bath and beauty products, flowers in art, music and literature, flowers for special occasions, the language of flowers, travel destinations with a floral focus, and everything and anything floral related.

And for little pops of floral inspiration throughout the week, all you need to do is follow @thefloralprescription on Instagram.

If you have anything you’d like to know about, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I’d love to hear from you.
