I am not a big fan of buying cut flowers. For me, cut flowers are bad investment. Why spend money on cut flowers, when you can get a pot of flowers at the same price, or even cheaper? Potted flowers are lively. Cut flowers are on their way to the dumpster.

But, there’s time that I just can’t resist the magic of roses.

Hyvee is having rose promotion right now, 50 cents for one rose.

There is a sea of roses in a rainbow of colors, smiling at me sweetly.

Their pedals are delicate. Their beauty is unique and fills my heart.

Oh, I am so smitten by them.

Look at her, how can you say no?

Yellow roses primary significance: Friendship, Joy, Get Well

So I had to go and picked up bunches of them, they sure felt heavy in my arms!

Ivory, yellow, ivory with soft peach edge roses to be given away to friends & co-workers. Oh yeah, happiness can multiplied when it's shared.

For myself, I love the pure ivory ones and also the ivory with soft peachy/pinky edges. At first, I just put 30 of them in a vase. Then, I thought why not spreading them throughout the house? So, I divided the roses into three vases.

One is gracing the dining table.

hmm... my appetite just tripled!

One in the living room.

Looking so pretty on my coffee table

One on the bedside table. I love falling asleep next to them. Their smell is so impossibly to describe. It’s a scent that brings happiness and serenity to the heart.

It was kind of a “splurge” to have spent $ on cut roses. But the joy they give me is beyond money can buy. 🙂 I feel so pampered … by myself.

Go ahead, do one thing today to pamper yourself. You’re worth it.
