Plants- Jungle Fever at home
April 13th, 2011
In one of our latest posts, “A Flower garden at home“, we wrote about flowers on furniture and other home accessories. Wouldn’t it be interesting to know which flower or plant is actually good for which room?
When you go plant shopping, keep in mind that not all plants are “inside” plants and more importantly, visualize each room and remember the amount of light it gets; specifically low, medium or high amounts of light.
In general, the best way for a plant to be noticed when entering a room is by placing it against a simple background. Some people like to dedicate a corner and create a small indoor garden by placing couple of plants, both big and small right next to each other.
Floral Fashion Statement
April 8th, 2011
As mentioned in our latest post” A Flower garden at home”, floral motifs are the HIT this year. Floral print decorations are a classic when decorating our homes but this spring and summer floral patterns on clothing will change the side walk into a floral catwalk!
The 2011 Spring/ Summer floral collections underline color, humor and passion which is also reflected in tropical make up colors and accessories.
So let’s have fun this season and forget about the “fashion rules”! Let’s mix floral patterns, bold colors, lets hit the streets and have fun, lets flip the hair and be fierce! Read more…

Cooking and garnishing with flowers is back on track! Many restaurant chefs and home cooks garnish their entrees with flower blossoms to give it a special touch.
Flower cookery has been traced back to Roman times, and to the Middle Eastern, Indian and Chinese cultures. In China, flower flavored teas are the hit – lotus flower, nasturtium, honeysuckle, lilies, chrysanthemums, roses and amaranth –are just a small list of the typical tea varieties that the Chinese enjoy.

We can't say having flowers and plants is actually going to kill our pets, some of them might give them some digestive problems but usually if they are well educated we will not have that problem. In most of the cases our pets are smarter than humans and will avoid eating those kind of plants.
NOEMIFlowers and plants are NOT our pet’s best friends!I agree that flowers and pets are not best friend. We should keep our pet and plants out of reach by each others to avoid from any damages.
