Bloom Feature of the Week
It’s your Birthday Girl! Cue Birthday song (there are too many to choose from now).
Our online wellness boutique, “Petals & Cheers,” gifted flowers to a birthday girl. So, we celebrate this amazing woman and her beautiful daughter.
Petals & Cheers Tip
Take a Joy Walk
Step outside for a 10-minute walk, but this time, focus on your surroundings. Listen to the sounds, feel the breeze, or notice the colors of nature. It’s a mini escape that refreshes your mind and brings joy in the little moments.

Petal of the Week: Flower Recipe
Bring blooms to life.
Sunflower & Baby’s Breath Charm
This week’s arrangement is all about simplicity and elegance, combining the bright, cheerful energy of sunflowers with the delicate beauty of baby’s breath. Both are easy to find at Trader Joe’s and will bring a fresh, uplifting vibe to your space.
What You’ll Need:
3 large sunflowers 🌻
A bunch of baby’s breath
2-3 sprigs of eucalyptus or greenery of choice
A medium-sized vase or mason jar
How to Create It:
Prep your flowers: Trim the sunflower stems at an angle to help them absorb water. Cut the baby’s breath stems so they’re a bit shorter than the sunflowers for a balanced look.
Create a base: Place the eucalyptus or greenery in the vase first to frame the arrangement.
Add the sunflowers: Position the sunflowers in the center, letting them take the spotlight with their bold, happy faces.
Tuck in baby’s breath: Add the baby’s breath around the sunflowers to soften the look with their delicate, airy texture.
Finish & Enjoy: Arrange the flowers to your liking, fill the vase with water, and place your arrangement in a bright spot to let it shine.
This simple and chic combo will bring joy and charm to any room in your home!
