An Easy Way To Brighten Your Day

I decided just for fun -- from my house to yours -- to send you 4 easy steps to BRIGHTEN your day.

If you are not doing this already, I suggest doing so, because flowers and greenery will surely bring fresh life into your home at this quarantined time or for that matter -- any time.

Step #1: 

Grab a vase, pot, glass, cup — it really doesn’t matter — any vessel that will hold water and fill it with water.

Step #2: 

If you have a garden go into it and cut greenery and flowers — if you don’t have flowers then all sorts of fun greenery can be put together to create a textural and lively creation.  

OR

If no garden and no flowers almost every grocery store is selling flowers and greenery. Trader Joes, Vons, Ralphs all have flowers. So, buy a few. It does not have to be many. Even one bunch will do. 

Step #3: 

Pick several places in your house to put flowers where they will be enjoyed the most. 

 Pick what pot, vase, glass or vessel you want to use and arrange the flowers/greenery into them.

The arrangements don’t have to be big and they don’t have to be fancy or perfect floral creations – let the beauty of the flowers and greenery speak for themselves. 

Tip: It helps to take the leaves off that will be below the water line so the flowers last longer.

Step #4:

Place them around your house and refresh as often as you like.

For example with a very few flowers and greenery I put an arrangement: Next to my husband’s computer.
On my home office desk & in our bathroom.
