Thursday, July 9, 2009



Stop and Smell the Roses! 1800Flowers.com wants to give you just that opportunity by winning a $50 Gift Card to the site!

First, let me tell you 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. Interesting isn't it?

I know when I have fresh flowers in the house they make me happy!
