Keep Calm and Pick (or buy) Flowers

What is it about flowers? They just make me smile and feel all warm and happy inside! And so this week, after receiving 2 amazing bunches as gifts (I'm a lucky girl) on top of the rose I had already bought (I've run out of vases!), my house has been transformed into a very happy place.  

According to EHow.com behavioural studies have shown a link between flowers and emotional health. Apparently people also feel more energetic in the morning after seeing flowers!

I could never before justify the cost of having fresh flowers in the house at all times, but given the positive effect seeing them has on me at the end of a long day in the office, I'm definitely changing my mindset (and budget) this year. And who knows, maybe one day I'll have a garden to grown them in to pick...that is if they survive better than my past pot plants did!
