Finding A Great Valentines Gift With Florists.com #Giveaway #NX1

February 9, 2015 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

After being with someone for a number of years you get to have a better understanding of your partner and what they like and don’t like. That being said though, every Valentines Day you get to show either your creativity or your ability to show your love through what you know. That being said, it is so nice when you can find a site that has so much to choose from.

I had the opportunity to be able to try out Florists.com and see for myself what they had and the quality of the flowers that were delivered. As I always want to be the romantic, I put in an online order and you see the flowers above that arrived and how good they look!

I was impressed with how easy the process was and the flowers were beautiful and fresh looking. We have now had these for over a week and they still look great, so the quality itself was also amazing too!

All of this being said, I have to say that I was really impressed with this site and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to surprise someone for Valentines day or for any day no matter what the occasion. Florists.com also has more than just flowers too. So give the site a glance and check it out for yourself. I think you will definitely be impressed!

Benefits of Having Flowers In Your Home

September 22, 2010 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Flowers are most thought of as a great gift or something nice to look at, but many people overlook the benefits of having them in the home. Flowers can be a simple decorating solution and even help to improve your mood.

Below are a few reasons of why flowers make a great addition to any part of your home, provided by eco-friendly, mission based florist, Organic Bouquet (http://www.organicbouquet.com/).

Bright, fresh cut flowers instantly improve your mood. People with fresh flowers in their homes are most likely to feel less worried and feel fewer periods of anxiety or depression.

Asiatic Sunset Lilies

Flowers can easily take the place of boring everyday table décor. Coordinate bouquet colors with your space, or place a bright bouquet on a shabby old table to draw the eye and lend to a fresh new look.

Vibrant Orange Petite Bouquet

Smell is one of the most powerful senses and can trigger instant memories. A rose’s robust smell can fill a room with just one flower. Choose familiar bouquets that bring back fond memories of growing up in the country, taking a final bow on stage, or even those used on your wedding day.

One Dozen Peach Roses

Fresh flowers have been shown to stimulate creativity while promoting concentration. Adding flowers and fresh plants to your child’s bedroom or play area will brighten the space as well as their growing imagination, while also encouraging responsibility.

Tropical Bromeliad

Providing workers in underdeveloped countries everything from zero-interest loans, childcare, healthcare, education, environmental protection, supplies, and more, each purchase from Organic Bouquet helps to improve the life of a flower farm worker, their family and the local community. They are also a carbon neutral company, partnered with ClimateFund.org in a carbon offset program supporting re-forestation projects in Guatemala.

Send Flowers from California Blooms and Support Ovarian Cancer Research Throughout September

September 1, 2010 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

California Blooms (www.californiablooms.com), the premier internet retailer of fresh eco-friendly, boutique-grown roses from the central coast of California, will offer consumers a special 18ose white bouquet throughout the month of September in honor of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. (click here to view/order – http://www.californiablooms.com/ovarian-cancer-awareness-roses.html) With the purchase of the benefit bouquet, 15 percent of the proceeds will be donated to Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF), an organization dedicated to the fight against ovarian cancer.

“We are honored to partner with OCRF and to help in their efforts to prevent ovarian cancer,” commented Mark Skorlich, CEO of California Blooms. “This is a worthy cause that has affected so many people, and we’re excited to offer our customers an easy way to contribute with this month-long campaign.”

“We are so grateful to California Blooms for their support,” said Audra Moran, CEO, OCRF. “It’s important relationships like these that enable OCRF to continue funding the most cutting-edge research in our quest to find an early detection method and ultimately a cure for ovarian cancer.”

According to OCRF, ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers in the United States and is the fifth leading cause of cancer death among U.S. women. The symptoms of ovarian cancer are often vague and subtle, making it difficult to diagnose. However, when ovarian cancer is detected and treated early on, the five-year survival rate is greater than 92%. Supporting ovarian cancer research makes it possible to develop new early testing techniques as well as new treatments.

California Blooms proudly supports the search for a cure in honor of the late Gerre Skorlich, mother of CEO Mark Skorlich, who lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 1994.

About Ovarian Cancer Research Fund:
The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF) is the largest private non-profit organization in the United States dedicated exclusively to funding ovarian cancer research. Our mission is to find a method of early detection and ultimately a cure for ovarian cancer.

Each year there will be approximately 22,000 new cases of ovarian cancer in the United States, and about 15,500 women will die of the disease. Currently there is no effective means of early detection. Since 1998, OCRF has given almost $40 million for ovarian cancer research. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, OCRF sponsored researchers are developing innovative strategies for early detection; exploring the genetics that increase risk for ovarian cancer; understanding the underlying molecular biology of the disease; identifying new and better targets for treatment; and deciphering how and why ovarian cancer spreads, and how to stop it.

For more information or to join us in our fight, please visit OCRF’s website at www.ocrf.org.

About California Blooms:
Launched in 2009, California Blooms (www.californiablooms.com), is the premier internet retailer of the freshest, boutique-grown and eco-friendly roses from the central coast of California for any occasion. California Blooms roses are delivered direct from the grower to anywhere in the U.S. within 24 hours of being hand-selected and cut, resulting in the superior quality and freshness of every bloom as compared to delivery times of upwards of 3-7 days for many of the larger floral retailers and florists.

California Blooms roses are grown on one of the most highly-decorated and worldenowned farms of hydroponic roses. The family-owned farm has grown varietal roses for over seven generations, and utilizes eco-friendly methods that drastically reduce the demand for energy and water consumption (see website for further information on the eco-friendly growing methods).

California Blooms is part of the family of companies that includes CheapesTees.com, a casual clothing internet retailer featuring name brand T-Shirts, sweatshirts and polo shirts at reasonable prices.

My Take on The Flowers
I was given a bouquet that I provided to J-Mom (of course) and she loved the flowers! The flowers themselves were very well arranged and the color was wonderful. J-Mom was very happy to receive the flowers and they ended up lasting for quite a few days.

I also was very impressed with the packaging of the flowers themselves. The vase was packed by itself and the flowers came well packaged and were still moist to the touch at the point when they arrived by Fed Ex.

As I mentioned, the Tulips we received were very pretty and everyone enjoyed them! We currently do not have tulips blooming by us yet, so this was an extra special treat before mothers day!

Giveaway

How would you like to win $50 of flowers from the mothers day collection at flowerspot.com? All you need to do is go to flowerspot.com and tell mw what flowers you would choose from the Mother’s Day collection. The contest will run for one week and will end on April 24, 2010.
