| My "accent" bouquet. |
Spring is finally here and I have not forgotten about this blog! I've been a busy New York bee, hence, the mini-hiatus from posting. But, what better way to kick-start things around here once more than this literally flowery story.
The other weekend, I was at an event wherein I'd been given a lovely bouquet of pastel-colored roses. Upon getting home, I immediately filled an empty jar with water, trimmed the stems, and placed them on my writing desk (see photo, right). They lasted all of last week, during which, I thought to myself how nice it would be to have fresh flowers all the time in one's home.
Now, all the more I truly believe in our ability to manifest the things we want in our lives

| From last week. |
(further reinforced lately by listening to inspirational author and speaker, Dr. Wayne Dyer's audiobooks and recorded lectures), even if it's something as simple and seemingly mundane such as flowers. Today, I got an email from my friend
Kat, inviting me to an event at the H.Bloom studio—the company that has started subscription-based floral delivery services in New York City and Washington D.C. (check out their
website, it's a fabulous concept!). Attending the event meant I got to choose and create my own super fun bouquet alongside what I learned to be an "accent" a.k.a. accessory to the main arrangement. So now I have these gorgeous flowers yet again, and this time, two new vases I could refill with beautiful blooms that come my way.

| Very proud of my bouquet! Thanks, H.Bloom! |
 |
| Up close. |
 |
| We got to choose from these pretty blooms and greens... |
 |
| ...Then proceeded to trim and prep. |
 |
| Ta-da! |
 |
| Kat's bouquet. Really fresh, pretty, and spring-y! |
 |
| Check out her punchy-hued outfit as well! |

| Happy Spring, everyone! |

ReplyDeleteAww, you're very welcome, Doctor Kelly! Thank you for reading :) Fresh flowers are such happy things.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous bouquets,and girls of course! I want to learn how to arrange flowers too!!!
ReplyDeleteAfter getting married, one of my first jobs was at a floral shop. I learned a lot there and it was wonderful working with fresh flowers daily! :)
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are pretty - but your make-up even more so! You look so fresh, Mariel! And I'm liking the long hair on you!
ReplyDeleteAww! Thanks, Anna! That's very sweet of you :) I'd say strategically-placed concealer, blush, and highlighter achieve the "fresh" effect! :)
ReplyDeletei so love your top. would you mind telling me where you got yours?prosa
ReplyDeleteThanks, sapphirebelle! I got it from a store in my neighborhood called Rainbow. I have a feeling you'll find something similar in SM Department store :)
