For a lighter question. What's your favourite smell? I'm pretty sure that Hawaii Jake might agree with me.

My favourite smell is that of plumeria. There is just something so addictive about the smell that I can never seem to get enough of it. I don't mean the artificial perfumes...I mean the real flowers.

For a lighter question. What's your favourite smell? I'm pretty sure that Hawaii Jake might agree with me.
We have so many fragrances here in these beautiful islands. It is wonderful. I live in the country, and I usually drive with the windows down. I often get a whiff of wild ginger that is very sweet.





Plumeria is lovely, but many mainlanders find it overpowering when worn as a lei.





Pikake flowers are not seen in the wild that much, but if only one person is wearing a pikake lei in a room, it will fill every nook and cranny. It's a heavy floral scent.





This last one is my favorite.





In any event, the air here often smells of flowers even in the middle of town. It's paradise.





E komo mai. Welcome





Mahalo pumehane. A warm-hearted thank you.
Reply:lilacs. Tied to my first memory,laying in my playpen near an open window, I could see the sun and shadows playing on the wall, see the leaves moving ,hear the the whispering of them, could feel the warmth of the sun on my hand. One of the few times in my life I was absolutely at peace and happy.
Reply:roses, gardenias, apple blossom
Reply:Lilacs remind me of my grandmother when I was a young child. She had a huge garden that was lined with lilacs. I remember playing hide-n-go-seek and hiding in the lilacs.





Honeysuckle reminds me of warm summer nights with a slight breeze to carry the sweetness in the air. Makes me smile just thinking about it.





I was at a dinner party last Saturday night, and my friend has these beautiful terraced gardens. And there was a fragrant mint that was wafting in the evening air while we enjoyed each others company under the beautiful starlit sky. I wonder if anyone else noticed?

Reply:I'd always thought vanilla was a lovely scent. Coco butter too. And sometimes, that weird earthy smell in fall when the maple leaves decompose. That's excellent too. Makes me feel like I'm at home again.
Reply:My favorite smell is the smell of people's hair after they just shampoo.. (Pantene, vidal sassoon, herbal essence... etc they all smell so refresh). Also I love baby smell. All baby smell so good.. but not after they poo...

Reply:I love the smell of a freshly paved road, I like the smell of fresh laundry, I like the smell of lavender, I love the smell of almond's and especially almond extract... fresh vanilla bean, brown sugar, plumeria, hyacynth, fresh paper from a new book, spring rain, winter snow, summer ocean breezes, and the leaves in the fall...

DIY wedding teardrop bouquets?

what kind of holder would i need etc and any tips would be great. i am making a hydrangea artificial bouquet because the flowers arnt out at the time of my wedding and no one makes hydrangeas in a tear drop..

DIY wedding teardrop bouquets?
You will want a foam holder with an angled cage such as


http://www.profoams.com/Images/Accessori...





Hydrangea bouquets in a tear drop shape are going to be rare because it is very difficult to get hydranges (big and round) to be any shape but round.





Using artificial flowers will actually make this easier for you because you can trim the flowers to fit the shape you imagine.


--- if you trimmed a fresh hydrangea that small it probably wouldnt be sturdy enough to survive. ----------





good luck.
Reply:Years ago, it used to be called a cascade.





What you want to do is wrap all the stems with floral tape. You will stretch it slightly as you wrap %26amp; that will cause the tape to adhere to itself.


If the stems aren't long enough you need to add some floral wire to them. Do this to the leaves, as well.


Then you will assemble the bouquet. Place the flowers in a pleasing design, from the side it will look like half a ball. Then add flowers to make the teardrop shape. When you get it to where you like it, remove the flowers one at a time, dip them in some white glue %26amp; re-insert the stems into the holder.





Visit Michael's or a Hobby Lobby %26amp; take a look at some of their floral books, to get some ideas and more info.
Reply:You just place them in the holder and it sticks in the oasis. You will not have a problem...I just bought awhole bunch of pink and green hydrangeas I love them...you can also use artificial flower glue so you know they will stick and stay.
Reply:You could also get come bouquet jewelry/crystals to put into the bouquet to make it sparkle and pretty. Im getting a couple of off ebay, they have alot of different types that you could choose from.

Cactus


Artificial plants

Which one you like and why ....?
Flowerin plants..


b'coz its full of life and energy..
Reply:Both flowering plants and cactus. Have you ever seen cactus in Bloom? I love live plants, colors shades, I love that plants attract birds and that we can share in our world.
Reply:cactus' have been a long time favorite for me.


I have propagated many different kinds over the years and loved the slow growing aspect of most of them. plus they are very easy to care for. but very interesting to watch grow. and a lot of them have flowers too.





of course I love flowering plants but these take more care and you have to arrange your garden or house so you have a flowering plant for that season of the year. more work but beautiful
Reply:flowering plants of course, it makes you feel good if you see it has bloomed already. but there is another type of cactus that's also nice to keep in the garden, it's called "Euphorbia". it has nice flowers and different colors too. i have several here at home and it has flowers all year round, it's not like the other plants that only bloom in summer or any other season.
Reply:Artificial plants.


I have a black thumb but i'm great at dusting.





Which do you like?
Reply:There all nice,but i prefer a bunch of Artificial plants,because you can spray them with smell good and as a busy schedule as i have all the time.I dont have alot of time to water.
Reply:Flowering plants outside.


Cacti's inside.


Artificial plants, Never. I have too much clutter in my house already and they usually look tacky.





The flowering plants have to be outside because I'm allergic to pollen, also they tend to need watering, and I'm terrible at remembering to water them so I rely on the rain. My lack of care is why I have cacti's inside, they're harder to kill (though I have managed it.)


Have you ever had Mental and physical symptoms?

Last month, my doctor put me on a low/no carb diet. I haven't had any bread, fruit, juice, rice, or pasta. No milk or yogurt. No cake, cookies, soda- not even a small hard candy or mint. No artificial sweeteners or alcohol either. Just lean protein and vegetables.


Well, over the weekend I had 3 pieces of wedding cake with mass quantities of delicious buttercream frosting - I even ate the decorative buttercream flowers- yum!. (I had a piece Friday night and 2 more pieces on Sunday).


First, I woke up Saturday with a rotten headache, feeling hungover. In a pissy mood all day.


Then, about 2 hours after my Sunday splurge, I went for a walk and had a huge panic attack. My heart was racing, I got all confused and scared, I thought I was going to faint-- and I was like, shoot, how am I going to get home??? (I had to walk back home about a mile, all weirded out.)


Today I'm irritable and impatient, with a slight headache. Has sugar effected you like this after going sugar-free for weeks?

Have you ever had Mental and physical symptoms?
Your body is no longer used to it, you went wayyy over board on the cake and your body is sucking it all up and going over the top, this is why we do not give new born babies sugar, their bodies have not adjusted yet so if you fed them cake for a day they're going to bounding full of energy have headaches and be irritable once their sugar hit begins to crash it is not good for you, think twice next time before going near anything your doctor told you not to have.
Reply:People can have that type of reaction. I have a friend who gets depressed if they eat sugar. That was a drastic thing. If you only had a bit of cake, it would have been okay. But in that amount, I think your body was not able to handle it.
Reply:the best and best way is only that you should see doctor because self assumption could be dangerous sometimes.take care.have a perfect and healthy life.
Reply:Well, iv never been suger free ^_^


But i do know, suger is a drug, and your more then likely having these symptoms because of withdraw
