Meet Up with The Florist

A friend of mine is getting married this coming December 28, to be exact, it is 11 days to go. Things are going smoothly, except for the flowers that they will be using. He hired a florist, so that they do not have to worry about their flower arrangements, but they were informed two days ago that the flowers they have chosen is not available. So they have to choose another set of flowers to be displayed on their big day. They were a bit frustrated with the florist, but they have no choice but to be calm and just understand the situation. Since my friend can not go with his soon to be wife for a meeting with the florist, he asked me to go instead. I was a bit hesitant at first, but have agreed later on. I guess, that is my role as a friend.

On the day of the meet up with their florist, we arrived at the flower shop fifteen minutes earlier. So, we decided to check out the different samples of flower arrangements that they have, while we are waiting for the florist to arrive. The arrangements are really made professionally, without a doubt, she is the best in her chosen field. I got mesmerized by one of her creations, it's just a simple set-up but, it is very elegant and can be displayed in any occasion or any home. It is a calla lilies and hydrangeas with water vase, I didn't know that they could go together, and that they created a very nice and unique tandem. We were taking pictures of the different flower arrangements when the florist arrive.

They went inside her office to discuss the details of the flower arrangements. Good thing is that, they have come up with a better flower arrangement and the flowers are all ready and available for shipment a day before the wedding. Everything has been taken cared of, and we left as a happy customer. We are just hoping and praying that there will be no errors or delay on their wedding day.

Turning To A Helthy Diet

Edible fruits have become a human's food source or sometimes a substitute for a full meal because of it's nutritional benefits especially for those who are health conscious. In botany, a fruit is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissue of the flower, one or more ovaries, and in some cases accessory tissue. Fruits are the means by which these plants disseminate seeds. In particular, many of them that bear edible fruits have propagated with the movements of humans and animals in a symbiotic relationship as a means for seed dispersal and nutrition. Fruits account for a substantial fraction of the world's agricultural output, and some, such as apple and the pomegranate, have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.

Ever since childhood, I would always hear my mom saying that I should eat fruits and vegetables. At that time, I know that it is nutritious and my growing body needs it, but all I can see are chocolates, candies and junk foods. Now, that I have my own family and I'm trying to manage my weight a little bit, I have finally turned to fruit and vegetables as a healthy diet. Fruits and vegetables provides essential vitamins and minerals, fiber and other substances that are important for good health, they can also reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases. Good thing is that my son loves fruits and vegetables, I don't have to scare him to make him eat. 

I made sure to place a basket of fruits at the dining table, not just for decoration but for our consumption. But lately, I have noticed that every morning there would be small bites on the fruits. The mouse are eating them at night when everyone is asleep or when nobody is around. So, I have decided to keep them in the fridge and replace it with an artificial mixed fruit centerpiece. And also, put some traps to catch those annoying little creatures. Now, I am sure that the fruits are safe and the freshness are preserved, while inside the fridge.

The Great Life-Like Centerpiece

Fresh cut flowers coming from your own garden at home are the best indoor decoration, but they wither and die after hours of exposure to different elements. But with artificial plants or flowers, you could still capture that "fresh-cut" feel and the good thing is that it is permanently. Given the authentic look of silk flower arrangements from Artificial Plants Unlimited, they will surely give a high-impact piece for high-end designs. One of their creation is the mini phalaenopsis in tall cylinder vase, at first look you wouldn't even thought that it is just an artificial plant. It is made from quality-grade faux materials which is colorful, textural and is impressively lifelike. It is a premier alternative to living displays which are carefully designed fake flowers and are artfully set-up on their vases or pots.

Phalaenopsis or commonly called as Moth Orchid and is one of the most popular orchids in the trade. They are mostly found throughout Southeast Asia because in nature, moth orchids are fond of warm temperatures, so they bloom and grow beautifully in these places. Compared with the artificial plants, these natural orchid plants are easily grown at home and stays in bloom for a very long time. But the maintenance of the plant itself is the hardest part because it needs consistent moisture and a good moderate windowsill light. Establishing a good watering practices can be a bit tricky at first for a new orchid owner. Phalaenopsis like to stay generally moist but not sopping sopping wet and must be always kept in pot with good drainage. You don't have to go through all of these hassle growing the phalaenopsis plant because there are available artificial plants that are life-like.
