Having a bad day? Are the six months of isolation driving you into deeper frustration? Or do you just really need a good dose of self-care and self-love right now? Well, you know what they say: You should take time to stop and smell the roses—or any flower, for that matter. And scientifically, it does work in improving our well-being.
According to a study from the State University of New Jersey on the emotional impact of flowers, it has both immediate and long-term positive effects on our mood—specifically when it comes to feeling less depressed, anxious and stressed. Another study published in the Evolutionary Psychology journal shares that flowers can even help improve our memory.
With these benefits (plus events like All Souls’ Day where flowers are basically a part of tradition also coming up soon) that give us more reasons to get our hands on bouquets of beautiful blooms right now, we’ve listed some places that let you order fresh blossoms online and offer delivery.
