-Bloom-


Hi Friends! 
So here it is late Saturday night, and I sit at my laptop next to this vibrant, lovely, and super cheerful vase of flowers. I'm thinking about what I want to write about tonight when suddenly I look up at these flowers and remember an old book I had read about the secret codes behind flower giving. I remember thinking it was really interesting and such a cute, fun idea, so I would share some of it with you tonight. 

 Did you know that specific types of flowers have different meanings behind them? Basically, the "love language" or code behind giving flowers. I personally LOVE flowers, especially wildflowers. A jar of fresh flowers can brighten up a dreary day and add a spark of festivity and happiness.  
 Here are a few flowers and their meanings:
  • Carnations symbolize pride and beauty
  • Red Roses symbolize romantic love
  • White roses symbolize purity, innocence, and new beginnings
  • Yellow Roses symbolize exuberance, caring, and friendship 
  • Sunflowers symbolize adoration
  • Violets symbolize loyalty, devotion, and faithfulness  
  • Bluebells symbolize humility 
  • Daffodils symbolize regard 
  • Daisies symbolize loyal love and gentleness
  • Ivy symbolize fidelity

-An unusual lesson-

So there I sat, in an old yet cozy diner, vinyl and to-go cups and all, watching the snow gracefully cascade from the big puffy clouds coating the world in an angelic white layer. Being the pathetic Floridian that I am, I was thrilled at the sight before me. Music pumped through the building, songs of long ago and the oh so recent years. As they often do, one song, in particular, decided to stick in my head. However, it was only a line or two. It was just enough to float through my head nonstop, which I was sure would faithfully nag me for the rest of the afternoon. A few days later, when I arrived back in my hometown, the song popped back up and I began to wonder about those few persistent words… As it turns out, I had heard that exact part of the song numerous times that one day and did not even realize it until now. Confession time… the song was, Let Me Love You by Justin Bieber. I know, I know, I can hear the groaning now, and I promise I am right there with you! But listen up, th...

"Summer escapes, daydreams and tourist traps"

Good Morning Friends!       We've officially passed the first official day of summer and are now surrounded by ever-increasing temperatures and that great summer sun. Admittedly, summer has never been one of my favorite times of the year. Whether it was because of the ridiculous heat and ever-annoying humidity that came with this season, lack of schoolwork to do (I am that weirdo who missed having homework to do), or the long unstructured time span, whatever the reason, I just wasn't a huge fan of summer vacation. However, as I have gotten older, I've come to appreciate the simplicity of summertime.       Even when I may long for the structure of a normal school semester, I realize the blessing of a break from all of the stress that comes with professors and assignments. Even when the sun feels like it is trying to bake the whole world and my hair has decided it hates me and expands into a stupid lions mane because of the humidity, yay for tho...
