3. Fill the vase with tepid water and add 1 packet of flower food.
4. Be sure to keep your bouquet away from direct sunlight, drafty areas or high heat to insure a long life.
5. To keep your bouquet fresh, re-cut the stems every few days and replace the water with fresh water.

Flower: Orchid New year’s resolutions don’t always sit so well with you. That’s because so much of your energy is spent on innovating and improving all year long. So, don’t feel too bad if you don’t have a list of improvements to make or habits to break. Meanwhile, a persistent worry will suddenly cease. Try not to let a new fear or concern take its place; just savor the stillness. A co-worker may make an odd request; consider it carefully and if you can help, do so. It’s always smart to make deposits in the favor bank. Treat yourself to a little something on the 26th.
