Fresh flowers add so much color and life to your home decor. You can spend as little as $5 for fresh flowers or a whole lot more, so no matter your budget, this is a great way to add a little glam to your everyday life. That’s our motto here at Naturally Glam after all!

I received the flowers featured in this post from 1-800-Flowers.com as a part of an Instagram campaign for the brand. It sparked the idea to share this post. While this post is not sponsored, I had to give a shout-out to 1-800-Flowers. Their flowers and plants are gorgeous and a great way to celebrate the important people in your life – including yourself!

A couple of months ago, our daycare provider closed for a week to take vacation time. Instead of taking the week off from, I was able to work from home. I knew I would be stuck at my dining room table all day, and decided it needed a bit of sprucing up. I purchased a fresh floral bouquet from a local grocery store, and have been buying flowers every week when I go grocery shopping ever since.

I’ve experienced nothing but good vibes since buying flowers for myself these last few months, and I plan to keep it up! No need to wait for someone to send you flowers to celebrate you (or make up with you). There are some good reasons why you should buy yourself flowers regularly.

Here are three reasons why!

Buy Yourself Flowers to Celebrate You!

Every weekend I buy myself flowers to celebrate the week. No need to wait on someone else to show you some love by sending you flowers. Show yourself some love – you deserve to be celebrated! Think of it as a form of self-care, and a way to pat yourself on the back.

I kinda hate that so many people associate receiving flowers, especially from your partner, with something gone wrong. I feel that as beautiful as flowers are, they should only be for celebrations and positive vibes. Even sympathy flowers are a celebration of the life that was lost.

Brighten Up Your Living Space

Unlike houseplants that are usually green in one variation or another, the possibilities of colors are endless with fresh flowers. They are the perfect way to add pops of color to your space. And the good news is, in about a week or so, you can switch it up.

I try to choose different colors each week, or different types of flowers to represent what’s in bloom. I like to go with the florist’s pick because it really allows them to get creative. And they are the professionals! I find that you get the most interested bouquets this way.

Flowers Help Spark Creativity

You can also get a creative spark when you have fun, lively flowers nearby. Peeking over the top of my computer screen and seeing so much color and texture helps keep me going. When I need a break, I can take a moment to glance at that bouquet, take some deep breathes, and get centered.

Sometimes, I’ll even take a longer break and get up and check on the flowers. I remove any flowers that are starting to die, trim the ends of the branches, and rearrange everything as needed. Taking time to stand up as much as possible is important, and my flowers provide the perfect excuse. Getting that blood flowing through the body really helps get the creative juices flowing as well.

I hope this post inspires you to treat yourself and buy yourself flowers!
