Just the sight and smell of the natural beauty of flowers will put you at ease. Ask your florist to show you what\u2019s in the cooler so you can learn about new varieties, colors and design styles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Color your world:<\/strong> Color therapists say colors really do affect our moods. The happiest color? Orange. It promotes optimism, enthusiasm, and a sense of uplift. Choose orange flowers \u2014 roses, gerberas, lilies, ranunculus, alstroemeria, tulips \u2014 to put on your kitchen counter or your desk, and see your mood soar.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Find peace:<\/strong> If you are having a bad day when it seems like nothing is going right, try flowers in soothing, tranquil colors, such as blues, lavenders and pale greens. Place a small arrangement on your nightstand or in your bathroom, so you can experience the stress relieving benefits of flowers right before you go to bed, and right when you get up to start your day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Give yourself some joy:<\/strong> One great way to reconnect with joy and feel less stressed is to surround yourself with simple things that make you feel happy and loved, like a colorful bunch of flowers or a blooming plant. Flowers have the power to open hearts, and when your heart is open you are more likely to focus on the positive points in your day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;sidebar &#8211; list 2&#8243; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; disabled=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.6&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;10px|10px|10px|10px&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pepper your house with small doses of calm:<\/strong> When bringing home flowers from your florist, have a couple of small vases and containers available so you can place a few flowers in different parts of your living space. You\u2019ll be amazed how many small arrangements you can get out of a single bunch of flowers, and you\u2019ll have constant reminders to \u2018stop and smell the flowers.\u2019<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be a friend:<\/strong> Do you have a friend or loved one who could use a boost? Have flowers delivered unexpectedly to their door, and watch their ordinary day become extraordinary. It will make you smile, too.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Help others:<\/strong> Sometimes the best way to relieve stress and the pressures of the day, is to do something nice for someone else. Here\u2019s an idea: Go to your florist and buy two bouquets. Keep one for yourself, then take the other bouquet and \u201cpetal it forward\u201d to a stranger on the street. You\u2019ll be amazed at the reaction to your random act of kindness.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/safnow.org\/aboutflowers\/holidaystressless\/\">Click here for tips on relieving stress during the holidays. <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; width_unit=&#8221;off&#8221; specialty=&#8221;off&#8221; disabled=&#8221;off&#8221; prev_background_color=&#8221;rgba(137,185,234,0.4)&#8221; next_background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.6&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221;][et_pb_row width_unit=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_2=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_2=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_3=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_3=&#8221;on&#8221; parallax_4=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_4=&#8221;on&#8221; disabled=&#8221;off&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.6&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px|&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Methodology&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; disabled=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.6&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>UNF Study Methodology<\/h2>\n<p>A representative sample of 170 women between the ages of 18-65 were invited to participate in this experimental study. Participants were blinded to the purpose of the study and randomized into one of the following groups: flower home delivery (n=58), comparison gift home delivery (n=55, comparison group), and no delivery (n=57, control group). The no-delivery group served as the control and did not receive a delivery. The comparison group and flower group received a delivery on day five or six of the study. The flower group received an arrangement of flowers and the comparison group received a luxury candle of the same approximate value. Both items were prepared and delivered by a local florist and gift shop. All groups completed online stress surveys for 12 consecutive days. The instrument of focus here was the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ) that was administered at baseline (before delivery) and at post-test (after delivery).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stress Survey:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Statistics on stress are from a survey of 1,004 nationally representative U.S. adults, ages 18+, by Wakefield Research in July 2018.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section bb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

For a traditional style room, bring in a full arrangement of \"petalled\" flowers, such as roses, carnations and greenery.\u00a0 For a playful, eclectic room, choose gerbera daisies, tulips and belles of Ireland.\u00a0 Because there are so many flower\u00a0 varieties to choose from,ask your florist for advice, including what's fresh and in season<a href=\"http:\/\/nationalfloristdirectory.com\/\" target=\"_self\">. <\/a><\/li>\r\n<li>Your florist can recommend flowers for any budget, can design in a vase you provide and can deliver same day if you want your blossoms in a pinch.<\/li>\r\n<li>Next, search for logical surfaces to showcase the flowers and select the areas that need to be \"softened.\"\u00a0 For example, when a wall gets too busy with shelves, pictures or a mix of wood and stone, adding flowers is the perfect solution to give a room a visual break and even calm our senses.\u00a0 I also consider the size and function of the surfaces for the flowers.\u00a0 For example, to create a focal point, bring in a larger arrangement.\u00a0 Choose smaller bouquets for conversation spaces and pleasant bursts of color in a smaller room.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=\"Row\"][et_pb_column_inner type=\"4_4\" saved_specialty_column_type=\"3_4\"][et_pb_image admin_label=\"shop local floral Image\" src=\"https:\/\/safnow.org\/aboutflowers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/10\/AF_shopLocal_orange1200x600.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"on\" url_new_window=\"off\" use_overlay=\"off\" animation=\"left\" sticky=\"off\" align=\"left\" force_fullwidth=\"off\" always_center_on_mobile=\"on\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" animation_style=\"slide\" animation_duration=\"500ms\" animation_intensity_slide=\"10%\" animation_direction=\"left\" show_bottom_space=\"on\" \/][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Flowers for Rooms Text\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" background_size=\"initial\"]\r\n\r\n<h3>Flowers for Rooms<\/h3>\r\n<p>When it comes to picking flowers for a room, there's no wrong choice.\u00a0 Yet, for those who want to create a specific look, look around your room to see what color stands out most.\u00a0 I always choose one of two routes - either match the flowers with the d\u00e9cor or completely contrast with it.\u00a0 For example, I might pick orange and yellow flowers, which would pop in a blue room.\u00a0 Purple and red flowers will be a bold contrast in a predominantly green room.\u00a0 If you're not sure, e-mail a picture of your room or space to your local florist for some recommendations.\u00a0 Or, you can alternate color schemes, depending on your mood and the season.<\/p>\r\n<p>One of this season's top trends is monochromatic flower arrangements - different flowers of all one color.\u00a0 Monochromatic flowers add an unexpected \"a-ha\" to a home or room without any extra effort.\u00a0 A big bunch of bright whites, all yellows or shades of blue makes a confident statement and will go with any d\u00e9cor.\u00a0 These simple touches are easy on your wallet but big on impact.<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner admin_label=\"Row\"][et_pb_column_inner type=\"4_4\" saved_specialty_column_type=\"3_4\"][et_pb_video admin_label=\"work space Video\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BTpCfUBzXkg\" image_src=\"https:\/\/safnow.org\/aboutflowers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/11\/KelliEllis_Video4.jpg\" \/][et_pb_text admin_label=\"Work space and caring Text\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" background_size=\"initial\"]\r\n\r\n<h3>Workspaces with Warmth and Flowers<\/h3>\r\n<p>Flowers create warm, comfortable environments, perfect for our workspaces, where we spend about one-third of our time!\u00a0 Green or flowering plants are ideal for office spaces because they can grow with you in your job.\u00a0 Single stems in a bud vase are a nice way to change your surroundings regularly and brighten your desk.<\/p>\r\n<h3>Caring for Flowers<\/h3>\r\n<p>To keep your flowers adorning your home or office for as long as possible, start by getting the freshest flowers from your florist.\u00a0 Keep the container filled with water and the flower food that was provided, and follow the instructions on the packet.\u00a0 Replace the water when it gets cloudy, and if possible, re-cut the stems one or two inches with a sharp knife.\u00a0 Immediately put the flowers back into the water.\u00a0 Keep your flowers in a cool spot away from direct sunlight and heat sources.<\/p>\r\n\r\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_4\"][et_pb_sidebar admin_label=\"Sidebar-ALL\" global_module=\"1354\" saved_tabs=\"all\" orientation=\"right\" area=\"sidebar-1\" background_layout=\"light\" disabled=\"off\" disabled_on=\"on||\" remove_border=\"off\" header_font_size=\"16\" body_font_size=\"12\" body_line_height=\"1.2em\" show_border=\"on\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" background_size=\"initial\" image_max_width=\"100%\" \/][et_pb_blurb admin_label=\"Kelli Ellis Blurb\" title=\"Kelli Ellis \" url_new_window=\"on\" use_icon=\"off\" icon_color=\"#7e1286\" use_circle=\"off\" circle_color=\"#7e1286\" use_circle_border=\"off\" circle_border_color=\"#7e1286\" image=\"https:\/\/safnow.org\/aboutflowers\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/10\/FlowerFactor_kelli_ellis600.jpg\" icon_placement=\"top\" animation=\"top\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" use_icon_font_size=\"off\" use_border_color=\"off\" border_color=\"#ffffff\" border_style=\"solid\" custom_padding=\"||40px|\"]\r\n\r\n<p>Kelli Ellis is a mainstay on TLC's Clean Sweep, HGTV's Takeover My Makeover and resident designer on Bravo's Real Housewives of Orange County.
