Taking care of yourself means that you value your total health. Putting the oxygen mask on yourself before you help others is an important instruction on a plane ride, so use this concept in daily life to be at your best. You don’t need to wait for a day at a spa to do this either. For example, dressing up your desk with a cheerful gardenia or money plant makes your everyday workstation more beautiful compared to a bare cubicle.

When it comes to houses and apartments, there’s something magical that happens when you change the landscape and make it pretty with seasonal plants. You may also prefer bouquets which help you change decorations according to the season, naturally keeping you in the flow of the year and its unique seasonal changes. Self-care through fixing your environment is key because no change happens without changing what’s around you. So, if you need a daily mood booster that’s science-based, get yourself a plant gift today.

Legal poppies typically have orange or yellow flowers and originate from Europe and North America. For instance, there are a few species that are native to the United States like the California poppy (eschscholzia californica) and prickly poppy (argemone polyanthemos). There is also the stylophorum diphyllum, or the wood poppy, and the Welsh poppy (meconopsis cambrica) which has yellow to orange flowers and is easy to grow in gardens. Any of these species can end up in a seasonal arrangement depending on their availability and add incredible value to your gift.

We love potted plants because they can last as long as you take care of them. With regular watering and fertilization, you can watch them grow and even replant them later into a larger pot as needed. A well-loved plant can become a legacy in your home and may even be transplanted into an outdoor garden if you wish.

Many plants are also easy to take care of in low-light situations so they are excellent for the home. Also, plants take out toxins from the air so you breathe in fewer toxins that come from daily items like furniture and foam mattresses that release formaldehyde, benzene, and other carcinogenic elements. So, you aren’t just looking at pretty things, but you’re also putting your health first. If you want even more perks from a potted plant, consider buying herbs like rosemary and thyme - two hardy plants that thrive with minimal care.
