Birthday Flowers
Today is my birthday and to tell you the truth, in recent years I have not felt like making a big deal out of my birthday. I don’t love the idea of getting another year older. For my birthday this year I hung out with friends yesterday to do a belated celebration for a friend, an early celebration for me, and a really belated celebration for a few other friends who had birthdays in the past 1-2 months but were unable to celebrate due to lockdown. We went to Top Golf in the morning and I actually wasn’t too bad! Then, we hung out for the rest of the day. Today,…

Repurposed: Glass Containers
My dad was recently cleaning out part of the basement and asked my brother and me what kid games and things we wanted to keep and what he could toss. There was an arts and crafts box with little glass containers and “stained glass” paint to paint them. I was going to give the kit to my friend’s kids, but the paint was understandably all dried up so I decided to take the little glass jars home with me to use as little glass vases. Not a bad way to repurpose a childhood arts and crafts kit in my opinion! I’ve linked to some cute bud vases below! *This post…

Orchids
Orchids are some of the prettiest flowers in my opinion. They remind me of the tropics, and I so wish i was on vacation to anywhere tropical right now. My mom is like the queen of orchids. I don’t remember when exactly she started collecting them but it’s been years and she can’t stop herself from buying more every year. Hers bloom without fail every year and then she cuts them back when the flowers fall off and then they regrow/bloom. I have one orchid plant at my condo and while I was watering mine recently I thought it would make for a useful blog post to show how to…

Peonies
At my parents house, they have peonies growing in two spots. A little section next to the driveway and one little spot in the backyard by the deck. I don’t remember when they planted the peonies, but they’ve been there for as long as I can remember. Peonies are so beautiful and I hate that they bloom for such a short amount of time. Seriously, they only bloom for maybe 2 weeks and if there’s a bad storm while they’re in bloom then forget about it. They’ll all be drooping and the petals will have fallen off. They’re pretty much all gone now, but when I walked over to my…

Tulips @ Holland Ridge Farms
I’m a bit late with this post as tulip season is pretty much over, but better late than never! 2 weeks ago I went down to Holland Ridge Farms, which you got a glimpse of when I posted my striped midi jumpsuit, to see the tulips. I saw a bunch of photos of the farm online and wanted to see it for myself just before the season was over. It’s supposedly the largest tulip farm on the east coast, so I had to go! There were a ton of people there despite going on a week day and I should’ve worn closed toe shoes since it was pretty dusty, but…

#fbf Daffodils
My flashback Friday, #fbf, this time around is from just last weekend. I was taking some outfit photos at my parents house and I took a few photos of my mom’s daffodils that have just come out. I love daffodils and the bright yellow is so cheery! My parents get a ton of deer in our yard and they eat everything. But, someone recently told my mom that deer don’t eat yellow flowers – I haven’t looked in to why that is or if it’s true. But so far, so good!

Green & White Flowers
I was scrolling through my camera roll on my phone and I came across this close up shot I took of green and white flowers back in 2017. I don’t really know why I took this photo. Maybe it was for my Instagram stories to show off a new bouquet I got. I don’t really know, but I thought I would share it on here for a flashback Friday, #fbf. And since St. Patrick’s Day is this weekend it seemed only fitting! Have a great Friday! I’ve felt so off this week and even yesterday I had to think for a minute about what day it was and was happy when…

#fbf Fresh Flowers
Happy Friday! TGIF for sure. So for today’s edition of #fbf – Flashback Friday – I’m not really sure if it counts as a flashback. Yes, I took this photo last weekend. But, the flowers are still in the vase on my kitchen table looking fresh. So I’m not sure if it counts or not, but oh well! Having fresh flowers in the house is a nice breath of fresh air this winter. I bought them because this past Tuesday was Chinese New Year and you’re supposed to have fresh flowers in the house for it. When I was at the grocery store over the weekend to buy my groceries…
