Almost every woman I know loves flowers. They are delicate, their beauty is fleeting, they range in color from vibrant violets to palest yellow. Men may find it difficult to comprehend the importance of the occasional surprise bouquet. Blooms only last a few days, but those memories... those memories last forever.  But imagine if your days were spent creating floral arrangements. What would it be like if your office was a veritable haven for orchids and exotic blooms? That's Jennifer McGarigle's place in the world. She's the Rachel Zoe of flowers. Styling them into unexpectedly pretty pieces of living art. While it may be true that all beauty is fleeting, cut flowers are an indulgence and a natural wonder that is perhaps the most evanescent of any of our personal indulgences. And yet - can you imagine a flowerless world? Setting aside the basics of the food chain and the purpose they serve in the world... Can you imagine a world with no blossoms. A wedding with no bouquet? Roses with no blooms? Think of the many color configurations we would miss. Do something wonderful for yourself this week...buy an arrangement of flowers for yourself. Yes, I'm encouraging you to order yourself a professionally arranged bouquet. Big. Baudy and bodacious. Walk into a florist. Pass slowly through the store looking at every variety of flower on display. Determine what kind of flower inspires your imagnation. Are you an orchid lover or do those gerbera daisies set your heart on fire? Decide what you love. Then, walk up to the counter and order yourself a decadent arrangement and have it sent to your home (trust me, it's no fun driving home with a water-filled vase in the car). 

Think of this as investing in yourself. I guarantee it will be a mood enhancer many days to come. {If you're pressed for time, visit Jennifer's flower bar for inpiration.}
