Keep these flower-arranging tricks in your back pocket this season. FIJIWater f52partner
If you want to set a table that's classic and bright this holiday season, go for fresh flowers in"jewel tones," says Alexis. Think: reds, purples, and deep greens—basically, the colors you typically see this time of year. A shiny gold vase, like the one Alexis used in the video, makes a sparkling complement to those deep, bold colors.
The vase Alexis used in the video is a bit wide, which can make it difficult to give body and structure to your arrangement."To remedy that," she explains,"one of my tricks is to use something called a frog."come in many different shapes and materials, but all are weighted vessels with holes or prongs where you can stick flower stems to keep them in place; her personal favorite is a glass option that looks nice on the shelf when it isn't being used.
So, you've added the frog to your vase and filled it with water—now what? To get started,"I would pick what I call the," Alexis says. She likes to work with odd numbers, and here, three stems should do the trick. When it comes to cutting the stems, she adds, start at roughly"two times the height of the vase initially, because you can't un-cut it, and it gives you a little wiggle room.
"Next, I would go for something I call a filler," Alexis says."That's something kind of leafy, without a bloom, that you can use to fill in some of the spaces you made." A pro tip for this stage: strip the stem of any flowers or leaves that go beneath the height of the vase so they don't rot or get moldy in the water.

Report: Retailers Pull In $5 Billion Annually From Women Coming Off Street To Avoid HarassmentWASHINGTON—Describing the behavior as an extremely reliable source of consumer spending, a report released Thursday by the Department of Commerce confirmed that the nation’s retailers earn $5 billion annually from women coming in from the street in order to get away from harassment. “Our research has shown that female consumers who quickly duck into stores after noticing that a strange man has been following them for several city blocks are responsible for a significant portion of all retail sales in the United States,” said Commerce Secretary Penny Pritzker, noting that some businesses may earn up to 10 percent of their total sales revenue from purchases made by women browsing the store’s aisles in the hopes that the men who were harassing, catcalling, and leering at them lose track of where they went and continue walking down the sidewalk. “Nearly every drugstore, coffee shop, and bodega takes in tens of thousands of dollars each month from uncomfortable women looking for a safe place to evade these men, particularly those businesses that are open late.” The study also revealed that $12 billion is spent annually by men who entered a business because they spotted a lone woman through the storefront window.
