How Flowers Can Make You Healthier (Yes, Really!)

Who knew that a simple bunch of blooms could do more than just brighten up a room? Turns out, flowers are like little health boosters wrapped in petals. Let's dive in!

First, flowers are proven mood lifters. Studies show that just having them around can reduce stress and anxiety. Their vibrant colors and sweet scents activate positive emotions, making you feel calmer and happier. It's like having a mini vacation right in your own living room - available on the daily and way cheaper!

But wait, there's more! Did you know flowers can actually boost your creativity? Being around them sparks your imagination, helping you think clearer and solve problems faster. Who wouldn’t want a bouquet by their desk? My girls love making arrangements and putting them on the desk for their daddy. I didn’t know how much he liked them until about mid-winter after our first season he said, “When will I have fresh flowers again?”

Want to boost the kids’ mood before they head to school? A small bouquet on the kitchen table is an easy unspoken way to do the job!

And, if you're feeling under the weather, flowers can help too. The act of caring for them—watering, trimming, arranging—can give you a sense of accomplishment and purpose, which is known to improve mental well-being. (Now you know why bouquet parties are such a hit - “Flowers and Friends” what more could you want to push back the blues?)

Lastly, let’s not forget that flowers connect us to nature, which is scientifically proven to lower blood pressure and enhance overall health. A bit of nature inside your home? Yes, please!

So next time you're in need of a health boost, skip the gym and grab a bouquet. Your body, mind, and soul will thank you! Your family thanks you, too, they just don’t know how to say it :)

The Best is yet to come.

Your flower lady,
