Blooms To Brighten Your Day

February 18th, 2014 by Karen 18 Comments







Because it’s always nice to get flowers. 🙂

Are you willing to try something potentially amazing with me right now?

It’ll only take a minute, but I really believe it’ll work.

Are you ready?

OK, first, I want you to quiet your mind and hold your body very still… For things like this, it helps if you sit as still and relaxed as possible. No tapping your feet, typing, clenching your shoulders or moving of any kind. Try to relax every muscle, all the way from your ears through your jaw to your shoulders and down through the tips of your toes.

Now…close your eyes and let a smile creep across your lips (the smile is very important). Lean forward a little closer to the monitor, and take a slow, deep breath…

It may take a few tries, but I think if you stick with it, something amazing will happen. I’m almost positive you’ll be able to smell these pretty roses no matter where you are right now.

Thank you for keeping an open mind. 🙂

    Thank you for the flowers! Sadly the perfumed websites haven’t been invented yet. So I’ll stick to my new Diptique candle Rosamundi (expensive but highly recommended).
    By the way you haven’t posted any food pictures for some time, have you stopped eating (hahaha….)?
    Give Tabs a biiiiig hug 🙂

      I was talking about that candle on my blog the other day trying to get people to buy it for Valentine’s Day as a gift for someone special! It’s soooo good!I’m glad I’m not alone in my love for it!

    The flowers are beautiful and it’d be awesome if I could smell them! I don’t remember the last time I got a bouquet, maybe I should buy one for myself!

      Yes, go and buy some flowers for yourself. I bought some daffodils yesterday to fight the wind and rain here in London.

    Is it weird that I could smell roses before I even knew that was the purpose? Haha. They’re so beautiful!

    I love the smell of roses … the real ones, not the florist ones. There is a park where I walk the dog that has a rose garden and I stick my nose in every beautiful bloom – probably doing the bees job 😉
