Welcome to the Globalrose Blog

You may or may have not heard of something called The Art of Manliness which is website as well as book dedicated to teaching “manly” etiquette from mannerisms to behavioral habits that are, at least within some established time frame, to be considered essential or at any rate typical characteristics of gentlemen.

Of course, how could we isolate the behaviors without acknowledging that such a guide would be incomplete without paying a certain attention to the relations between the sexes. No matter how it has evolved over time, there are some things we can agree on such as that the preciousness of women and that they deserve a treatment that enhances this quality such as pulling out her hair.

Well, almost needless to say, flowers have often played a role in romantic courtship and there is no coincidence in that. After all, is there anything truly as aesthetically luscious and compelling as the rose? We think not. Flowers speak words that leave quite the enduring impression.

With the new year upon us and marketing such as Victoria’s Secret swimsuits enticing us with the seasons yet to come…what may be on the tip of your lips is “spring cleaning”. Winter only started but a month ago but we tend to go at a pace that constantly anticipates that which is to come. With these holidays behind us, you may want to take a moment to spruce up the place and keep the cheer.

Do not wait for spring to make your home (or anyone else’s for that matter) the most delightful place. Give a great injection of aesthetic delight with a clean and neat space that is appealing in every aspect. We recommend some fresh flowers to give that dose of vivacity and comfort that always elevates a space from nice to sophisticated, elegant, and decadent.

The visual treat of flowers is something to be missed when without it…studies show that keeping your environment joyful will help you to conquer other daily aspects and goals by supporting the positive attitude necessary to plow through all your objectives! Don’t hesitate, we have such a lovely selection of motivational flowers just waiting to be be appreciated, adored, and admired. Could there be a better way to commence the year?

Planning a party any time soon? Any celebration, whether it be casual or formal can be taken to the next level by merely the feeling given by a space. Any fans of the Food Network may have noticed that often, any chef’s kitchen will look neat, presentable, clean, and probably have some fresh flowers. A bowl of fruit, such as lemons or apples, is quite visually appealing, but something about flowers gives that extra touch of special care.

Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa, is well known for giving great ideas for dinner parties and celebrations such as rehearsal dinners. If you are looking to have a simple and fantastic gathering, you do not have to put too much work in at all. The fabulous thing about flowers, is that nothing fancy is required in order to have the feeling of luxury.

Garten often recommends making an elegant cluster of hydrangeas of a solid color in a low and short vase. That pom-pom feeling of a bursting and overwhelmingly regal bloom never fails to impress and bring a sense of awe to one’s sphere.

Likewise, consider using solid clusters of roses for an instant classic that works every single time. You’ll notice the difference that only a couple minutes of effort takes!

Last minutes gifts may be the bane everyone’s existence, but just because time is short it down not mean your present has to reflect a certain air of hastiness and urgency. Rather, thoughtfulness is key. The secret to good gift giving is not quantity but quality. Instead of stressing yourself over the task of getting a plethora of things for one to open, just a singular wonderful present will suffice. The French have an expression for this gift-giving philosophy, that being that a present is “something to mark the day”. We do not have to succumb to the merchant’s tyranny of present mania and material obsession.

In fact, a greater appreciation of thoughtfulness is just the kind of thing that connects us with our humanity. If you know someone who has been under a lot of stress, a massage or a spa package is a very considerate present. Along the same lines, fresh flowers are a delightful gift that will have the gifted often greeted with a pleasant feeling due to the naturally cheerful and luxurious ambiance that fresh cut flowers lend themselves to.

So these holidays, we recommend to cut ties with the stressful pressure of materials and simply enjoy yourself and your dear loved ones. You do not need to buy that shirt just to have something to give, go out to dinner together and explore the beautiful decorations of town. After all, these holidays are about appreciating this life and world, so why not?

If you had the good fortune to be on a vacation this holiday, then you are well aware of the positive vibes being submerged in a new environment can generate. No need to a read book on Feng shui to understand the concept!  Some decorations, seemingly non-pragmatic, speak to the vibrations of our soul.

Likewise, now that the holidays are upon us, it would be appropriate to make some changes accordingly. For example, some meals that include scrumptious carrot or pumpkin recipes, winter treats such as eggnog-flavored tea, and (of course) decor such as pine, statues, or lights. A colorful array enhances are mood, our day, and yes…our life. Think I sound crazy? Why not try it out…

Perhaps you have family coming over or are planning on having some sort of gathering soon. Think of some of these lovely floral options and notice the immediate difference they make. Consider it a grand experiment on how influenced we are by our surroundings.

Luscious reds, greens, and whites make for such breathtaking pieces, we are rather sure that you will be wondering why you had not indulged before! Treat yourself to a delightful experience these holidays.
