Did you know the Official Kristin Cavallari App for iPhone and Android issues notifications now? It’s true. Yesterday I received a ping informing me that Kristin had posted a new article on her app titled, “Don’t Throw Away Your Flowers.”
With dull eyes and open mouths, they crowd the streets and fill the restaurants. Some are teenagers, some are straight, some are gay, and far too many are married adults who would usually be found at home watching the television at night. They are the zombies of St. Valentine's Day, and they're just as miserable as they look.
As you experience the seasons, if you live in a place with such things, the greenery tends to adapt and change with the temperature and climate. Sometimes there are delightful little flowers, sometimes there is withering heat, sometimes there is crazy snow and you can make fun little shelters and play in the street. You can usually only experience one of these phenomena at a time, because Mother Nature wants you to dole out your appreciation.
Flower delivery services are having their busiest day of the year, I'd imagine. They are, after all, the last minute option for uncreative/forgetful spouses.

In what way was the memory of the highest imperial democratic inspiration KIM JONG-IL praised today, by the industrious citizens of the world, according to the DPRK's official news agency?
It's the War of the Roses (Peddlers)! A flowery feud! A Google gamble, in which customers are wooed. Some of America's top Internet flower retailers are being a little sneaky in trying to become tops in Google's search results (and by proxy, your mom's heart). Who will stop them?
This? This is cool. And, weirdly, haunting? (Maybe it's the music.) Anyway, here's a 90-second time-lapse video showing the entire process of a dandelion's natural transformation from flower to seed head. It's beautiful, it's mesmerizing, it's... oh, just watch already!
