From boosting your mood to relieving stress, there are many benefits to being around flowers more often.
Most people think flowers are just nice to look at and smell, but they don’t realize just how powerful flowers can be in so many aspects of their lives. Whether you’re hoping to become more productive at work, improve your relationships, get a better night’s sleep or just improve your mood, having more flowers around can help. Buying fresh flowers to display is certainly one great way to enjoy the benefits, but there are lots of creative ways to incorporate more flowers in your day-to-day life. Check out Part 1 of this series to learn about a couple of great ways to incorporate more flowers into your life, and keep reading to learn more helpful tips!
Plant your own flower garden.
Not all flowers have to be bought from a florist! If you love enjoying flowers at home, one of the best ways to ensure that you constantly have plenty of flowers around is by planting a garden. Not only will you benefit from the fruits of your labor — which are the flowers themselves when they blossom and come to life — but the act of gardening in itself has a plethora of benefits that will make you feel better on both a mental and physical level.
Sneak flowers into your beauty routine.
Whether you’re trying to fight the signs of aging or make your skin-tone more even, you have more options than just what’s available in the skin care aisle of the store or your local Sephora. In fact, essential oils derived from many different kinds of flowers have powerful, all-natural properties that can enhance your beauty routine like never before. For example, rosehip oil will help to reverse damage to the skin and even out the tone, lavender helps to keep the blemishes at bay and rose oil has anti-aging properties. As a general rule of thumb, always make sure that you are buying food-grade essential oils, and you never want to use more than a few drops at a time. Also, be sure to do your research as to learn the best methods of enjoying the specific essential oils you choose.
Use flowers to freshen up your hairstyle.
When most people think of wearing flowers in their hair, they imagine the flower crowns beloved by hippies and brides. But, you don’t need to be a flower child to rock this look, and it doesn’t have to be as dramatic as a full flower crown either. In fact, just a small flower tucked behind the ear or clipped into a ponytail can make a big difference. Not only will it add a new level of beauty to your look, but it will also make you smell amazing!
Start your day with flower in your tea.
Not all tea has to be Earl Grey or English Breakfast. There are so many incredible floral teas out there that any tea-lover should try. One of our favorites is chrysanthemum tea. The flower in this tea actually blossoms as it steeps in the hot water, and it’s been used for thousands of years in Chinese medicine to calm anxiety and reduce inflammation. Some other floral teas you won’t want to miss include jasmine, hibiscus, lavender, orange blossom, rose and chamomile.
