Answer 1

congratulations!!

and I saw two websites that said frangipani are good cut flowers and last a long time.

I know that it is good to keep flowers in the refridgerator some times but they should be covered.

here are basic instructions:

A food refrigerator cools the air by pulling moisture out; this is bad for fresh flowers, especially roses. Here are some things you can do to prolong the life of the roses and still use the refrigerator. When you buy the roses, bring them home immediately. Time spent in a hot or cold car and not in water will reduce the life of the flowers.

Next, be sure you have an ample amount of fresh flower preservative. Buy enough concentrate or powder to make several gallons of floral preservative mixture. A few packets won't be enough. Then, fill a basin or sink with warm (about room temperature) water. Prepare a vase or other storage container with a measured amount of floral food and warm (room temperature) water. It is important to measure the water and follow the directions on the floral food container. Too much preservative is as bad as too little in the solution.

Strip or peel off any leaves that may fall below the water line. You don't need to remove all the leaves, just any that might get into the solution. Then, using a sharp knife or pruners, cut off the bottom inch or so off the stem while hold the bottom 3" under water in the sink or basin. Put the rose stem into the storage container.

Once you've prepared all the roses this way, put a dry cleaning bag around the flower heads (to keep in moisture). Don't spray them with water or you may get spots on the petals. Then, put the whole lot into the refrigerator set to a temperature between 40°F to 42°F. They should be in prime condition for the next day. Be sure to clean out the water and use fresh water mixed with preservative to replenish storage containers the next day.

The person you buy your flowers from should give you instructions too.

Answer 2

I use quite a lot of Lush merchandise, which I most likely love. But should you wouldn't have a shop close you, I could advocate attempting merchandise from Aveeno. I even have touchy dermis and those merchandise labored amazingly good for me. It fairly all is dependent upon you although. What works for one, won't for yet another. However, I can advocate the Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask. I use these things 3 occasions per week and it is without doubt made a change in my dermis. In reality, I have it on correct now. My face feels cleanser, tighter, and smoother from the minute I wash it off. Sorry if my strategies have been too indistinct. I can without doubt deliver you a couple of dermis care recommendations although: Don't be lazy on the subject of your dermis. Find a functional, however strong pursuits and keep on with it. Cleanse, tone, spot remedy (if wanted), and moisturize. Masks and exfoliants should not be used every day, however they are without doubt an fundamental aspect of retaining your dermis transparent. I exfoliate as good as use a masks, 3 occasions per week. Drink lots of water, ensure you are getting a minimum of your 8 glasses an afternoon. Sleep is fundamental as good. Don't contact, opt for, or rub your face in the course of the day. Your arms are stuffed with micro organism, do not unfold it in your face. Well, I feel I blanketed the fundamentals. Hope this helped a little!
