Central Park

With only 2.5 days to spend in NYC, we had to make every minute count.  This included waking up at 6am to log some time in NYC’s Central Park.  Shown here, wearing NYC’s Central Park Nail Polish.

 

How To Tie That

Flower Power

Here is a quick and easy way to make your home seem like it’s been visited by the florist fairy. We put together this festive, classy and simple floral arrangement that we think everyone should try.

Holiday Floral Arrangement

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Vase
  • Twine
  • Fresh Cranberries
  • Your favorite flowers
  1. Rinse the cranberries as they may carry debris that can later cause the water in your vase to appear muggy
  2. Add water to your vase, do not fill it to the brim, about 4-5 inches of water should be sufficient
  3. Add the cranberries to your vase
  4. Cut the tips of your flowers off in an angle with a sharp knife, cut off any leaves that will be submerged in the water***
  5. Place flowers in vase
  6. Cut a piece of twine and tie it in a bow around your vase. If you don’t have a vase, you can use a mason jar (which we love!)

***It is important to cut the tips off your flowers as they may have air bubbles in the stem which hinder them from drinking up the water
