Flower Discoveries: How to Eat When You Don't Have Time

You know those days where your to do list is longer than your arm? You start the day go-go-go, and you don’t stop until your head hits the pillow at night. And that’s when you remember—you forgot to eat all day! Whoops!

So how do you fuel your body when you barely have time to even make it to the bathroom?

Dafni is here with some tips for quick food ideas to fill the nutritional gaps your routine is likely causing. Creating your own trail mix, utilizing protein shakes, tuna and crackers, and veggies and cheese are all examples of nutritionally balanced snacks.

Special Guest: Anna Passarelli and Brian Nyland of Meristem Floral

Anna and Brian are a husband and wife floral design team specializing in large scale weddings and events.

They’re currently in the process of converting a barn on their property into a fully finished floral design studio! This is such a neat process, and they’re talking about all of the details, including:

• Planning for a heating/cooling system

• Places to find simple shelving

• Logistics of plumbing and creating a kitchenette

The Meristem duo are also sharing about their journey to flowers—what they did before and how and why they came to the floral industry. Both Anna and Brian bring specific skills to their business which has helped them be successful in their floral venture. You’ll hear how you can be an asset in the floral industry—even if you classify yourself as more of a “nerd” than a “creator.”

Finally, you’ll hear about the types of arrangements Anna and Brian create for their clients as well as Anna’s favorite thing to design. She’s even talking us through some simple steps of creating an urn arrangement, including types of greenery and flowers to incorporate!
