Why not go and buy flowers today? You totally deserve them and definitely don’t have to wait for a special occasion.
Today is the perfect day for much-needed self-care, and a bouquet of fresh flowers can instantly improve your mood.
For me, beautifully assembled flower arrangements are the perfect stimulus. Having a bad day at work, fresh daffodils on my desk will improve everything.
Is my boyfriend getting on my nerves? Don’t mind me, I’m going to take a walk in my local flower shop and buy the biggest peony bouquet there is!
Honestly, I can’t articulate my obsession with flowers to do them justice.
Whether they’re well placed on my dining table, displayed on my work desk, or make my garden look amazing, there’s nothing like them!
So the next time someone asks who you’re buying these fresh flowers for, proudly tell me and buy the most beautiful wildflowers there are.
And if you need a reason, no problem – here are 20 of them:
REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE (MORE THAN) WELL
You know what? There’s nothing wrong with taking a second to appreciate yourself, your work, your unwavering dedication, and the effort you put into everything you do.
Sometimes life is simply too much to deal with, and going to your favorite florist to buy a flower is a form of self-love that allows you to put aside your anxiety and just breathe.
Life can wait a minute (or twenty).
BECAUSE YOU 100% DESERVE THEM
The most beautiful thing about buying flowers for yourself is that you don’t need a single reason to do it.
Why shouldn’t the thought of going to a flower shop to buy beautiful tulips be the same as going to a grocery store? I mean, it’s total.
So don’t let anyone make you feel weird by showing a little self-love. Fresh and beautiful flowers help improve your self-esteem, and it doesn’t have to be Valentine’s Day to show love.

FLOWERS CAN BRIGHTEN ANY ENVIRONMENT IN AN INSTANT
Buy flowers for yourself, because every time you’re going through something and looking around the room, all you’ll see are beautifully cut flowers everywhere around you, and this will immediately put a smile on your face.
Also, how beautiful is a house with a lot of fresh flowers carefully selected?
It’s such a simple thing, but in the grand scheme of things, it means a lot. And isn’t that wonderful?
YOU SAW A BEAUTIFUL BOUQUET ON THE WAY HOME THAT YOU JUST COULDN’T RESIST
A few days ago, I was coming home from yoga practice, having had a terrible day. It was starting to rain, I didn’t have my umbrella and I was about to lose it.
Then I passed my local florist and saw a bouquet that took my breath away. I don’t normally shop on impulse, but that time, I just had to go in and buy it.
And guess what? Immediately upon entering the flower shop, my mood changed and the flowers I received still make every bad day that I have a little better.
YOU DON’T NEED A GUY TO GIVE YOU FLOWERS
As chivalrous as it is when a guy gives you flowers (which isn’t as frequent as it should be, but that’s okay), it’s no reason to wait if you want to buy flowers.
After all, you have yourself, don’t you? You know where the flower shop is and you know exactly what you like.
Go ahead and get the biggest bouquet of your dreams. Girls need to start doing nice things for themselves for no reason. This should become a new norm.

WE ALL DESERVE MORE BEAUTY IN OUR LIVES
Life can be very difficult sometimes. And I don’t mean you or me individually.
The world in general can be such a chaotic place, and being close to anything good, beautiful, and uplifting is an opportunity that cannot be missed.
Well, then, yes. Buy flowers today. Buy two, up to three bouquets, if you like. Damn it, give one to your best friend and leave two for yourself.
Beauty is something we all need more today, so take the chance you can to be close to it and absorb everything.
BECAUSE OFTEN YOU’RE TOO YOURSELF
I think we can all be our worst critics sometimes. But believe me, no one sees you the way you see yourself.
The flaws and shortcomings you see are cute and unique peculiarities that your loved ones appreciate more than you think. Even if you have a glitch or two, so what? Who doesn’t?
Buy some fresh flowers and be nicer to yourself. You’re doing the best you can and if sometimes that’s not enough, at least you’ve tried your best.
There’s no way to please everyone, so be kind and patient with yourself.
BECAUSE YOU’VE OVERCOME ALL THE OBSTACLES THAT LIFE HAS PUT IN YOUR WAY
Every difficulty that life presents to you, you overcome and today you are stronger and more resilient to it.
Everything you’ve never in a million years thought you’d get over, you knocked straight out of the park. And for that, you deserve to buy flowers.
You’re stronger than you think and you can do a lot more than you believe! So go ahead and do what makes you happy. If it’s a bouquet of fresh flowers, so be it.
FLOWERS ARE ONE OF THE COOLEST UNNECESSARY THINGS IN THE WORLD
When you think about it, flowers are kind of unnecessary, in the sense that we can live totally without them and not suffer for them.
But, they also can improve your mood, brighten your day and put a smile on your face. And for that reason, I think they’re one of the coolest (if not the coolest) things on this earth!
Isn’t it as peculiar as something without which we can logically live, can be so beneficial to your life and well-being?

BECAUSE YOU’RE SO MUCH MORE FUCKED UP THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE
And a fucking bitch deserves a flower. Oh, yes! Remember that time you thought life was worse than it could be?
And look at yourself now. Fine, as if nothing had happened (you will, girl!) And isn’t that the case every time you feel that life couldn’t give you worse cards if you tried?
Then buy yourself flowers because of your inner badass. You are a force to be recognized – someone who can do anything she decides. And today, they’re tulips!
BECAUSE YOU’RE LOVED
His parents love him, his brothers love him, his significant other loves him, and God knows how much his best friend loves him.
Then why not love yourself? Didn’t you know that self-love is the most important kind of love there is?
I know that buying flowers for yourself may seem like a silly idea, but when you do good things for yourself for no reason, you’re showing love and self-care. And that’s not so necessary?
THERE’S A LOT MORE AHEAD
You can’t imagine how much life you still have to live. The number of opportunities waiting and the number of chances for a happy life is plentiful.
Stop to absorb all this for a moment and just enjoy where you are. You can’t imagine where life will take you in two months, let alone two years.
So enjoy every moment you are without denying yourself any pleasure. And if you’re a flower fanatic like me, you know that a flower (or twelve) can do wonders for your mental health.
FAKE FLOWERS HAVE NOTHING IN FRESH FLOWERS
I used to buy fake flowers because let’s are honest, it’s easier that way, and who has time to take care of real fresh flowers?
Or at least that’s what I thought. As you can see, I kind of changed my tone. Over time, I realized that nothing can replace the beautiful, freshly cut, and beautifully arranged flowers of my favorite flower shop.
And keeping them takes a few minutes. So, yes, there’s nothing for it. Go get the real thing and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

NO SCENTED CANDLE CAN REPLACE THE SMELL OF A FLOWER
I have nothing against scented candles – quite the contrary, I’m a big fan! But if I had to choose between them and flowers, I would always choose the latter!
And honestly, the reason is very simple. As fresh as the candles are, they have nothing in that fresh smell of a flower that was recently harvested.
It’s as natural as it sounds and yet it smells unrealistically amazing. Buy flowers because you deserve that mesmerizing feeling every day.
BECAUSE YOU’VE LEARNED SO MUCH ALONG THE WAY
You’ve learned that sometimes, for sure, life will give you lemons, but that’s okay. You’re just going to go for a walk in your flower shop and replace that horrible smell with some really good peonies you’ve always wanted to buy.
You understand what I mean, right? Don’t deny having something so beautiful because life can sometimes suck.
That’s all the more reason to make everything better for you, even for just a few minutes.
BECAUSE YOU LOVE DOING GOOD THINGS FOR YOURSELF
For a long period, I was without a boyfriend, and due to having recently moved to a new city, I was kind of friends too. yes, it wasn’t so cool, but what was I going to do?
Was I going to let it bring me down and wallow in my self-inflicted misery? No, sir, I’m not.
Do you know what I did? I went ahead and bought some beautiful flowers and made my apartment feel at home! Sometimes the little things can have the greatest effect on you.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO FALTER AND GET UP
You’ve been defeated many times. Misery is no stranger to you. But standing isn’t either!
You know the feeling of not being good enough and how much it can exhaust you. But you also know that just because it may seem like this at the moment, this is not the end of your journey.
Every time you fall, you learn something new about yourself that ends up being a valuable lesson. And you deserve a flower for every time you get up.
BECAUSE YOU’RE AS FEARLESS AS POSSIBLE
You’re not afraid to cross the line. You’re never the only one who’s run away from a challenge. You know that life is all about testing your limits and seeing how far you can go.
And you’ve gone far, but you’re far from finished. You’re only halfway there.
Fearlessness is in your blood, and you will never let anyone tell you that you can’t do something. The same goes for buying flowers. The weirder they look, the more flowers you get!
BECAUSE YOU’RE AUTHENTICALLY REAL
Do you know how rare this is in today’s world? How rarely do I meet people who are genuinely loyal to who they are?
I mean, being authentic isn’t easy, but isn’t it better than putting on a mask every day? You live your life guided by authenticity. You’re not interested in being anyone but your only one.
If you want to buy flowers, then that’s what you’ll do. If you want to walk barefoot down the street, that’s exactly what you will do. No shame, no regrets.
BECAUSE YOU DESERVE A GOOD GESTURE TODAY AND EVERY OTHER DAY
You’re perfectly imperfect in your way. You don’t feel the need to apologize for the way it is, but you’re also too attentive to never hurt anyone in the process.
You are kind, considerate, genuine, and intelligent. And you deserve a good gesture, even if it means having to do it for yourself. And what’s wrong with that?
People will let you down often, but one thing’s for sure:
You’ll never, ever be disappointed. And that’s one of the most beautiful traits of a strong, independent woman who doesn’t need anyone but herself.
