Cheer up your tabletop setting with seasonal placemats, bright decorator napkins, colored doilies, and some fresh cut flowers.

Did you know that the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions and heightens feelings of life satisfaction?

Most of us are aware of how today’s fast-paced and high-tech lifestyle can take its toll on our daily lives. Experts advise us to exercise and make other personal lifestyle changes to relieve stress. But, according to behavioral research conducted at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, nature provides us with a simple way to improve emotional health – flowers!

The study, lead by Jeannette Haviland-Jones, determined that there is a link between flowers and emotional health. According to research findings, flowers affect social behavior in a positive manner far beyond what was normally believed. Flowers bring about positive emotional feelings in those who enter a room. They make the space more welcoming and create a sharing atmosphere.

The question is, can pictures impact a persons emotions in the same way?
You be the judge.
