Review and Giveaway : -Closed- 1-800-Flowers.com $50 Gift Card!

This giveaway is now closed.

What beautiful flowers! 1-800-flowers.com sent me a beautiful arrangement of lavender color roses and daisies. They sure put a smile on my face every time I walked by the dining room table. Even my two little ones enjoyed looking at them, and scooting them around the table, all the time, haha. It's beautiful to watch the roses open up more each day, as you can tell in my photos from Day 1 to Day 3.

Did you know that a recent Harvard study found that people who made a point of looking at flowers first thing in the morning actually felt cheerier and even more energetic throughout the day. So, 1-800-Flowers.com would like to encourage my readers to literally stop and smell the roses!

Do you know certain scents and colors of flowers can impact your mood and overall well-being? Here are some suggestions:

Roses – In need of a pick-me-up? The sweet aroma and bold colors of red roses can help boost energy and improve mood.
