Decorate flowers - Heighten feelings


Do you know? According to behavioral research conducted at Rutgers, The State university of New Jersey, nature provides us with a simple way to improve emotional health - FLOWERS. The presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behavior in a positive meaner far beyond what is normally believed. For more information from this  you can read here.                        

That's why there is often a vase of flowers in my living room or on the table where i work . It's really make my mood better, feel comfortable.. You can chose any kinds of flower you love, but better it can keep long-lived. The flower i like is orchid because it has many kinds, many colors and long-lived.
 Especially, when the orchids almost fade, we can take full advantage of the rest of orchids and make other kind of decorating your place. Like below picture i made.
  
Simply, we only need to put a little water into a deep dish or a wide glass flower vase and then put the flower into. we can also put chrysanthemums, jasmine, or rose petals, etc... instead of orchids.


With simple steps, we can renew our place, refresh our emotion.
Just do it.

Making card and picture frame - 2 in 1

Its really happy when we receive a gift from someone and it will be more happier when the gift is made by themselves. According to my experience, i am sure that its not only the receiver feel happy when they get it but also the maker feel happy when she/he makes it. Believe me! you will see what i say is true if you try to do it once.
