Monday 20 January is Blue Monday, also known as the most depressing day of the year. Do you feel its effects too? Read on to find out how you can transform Blue Monday into BlooMonday—a day full of flowers!

What is Blue Monday?

First things first: what is Blue Monday? This term was invented by British psychologist Cliff Arnall. According to him, the third Monday of January is the day when most people feel down. The reason? New Year’s resolutions have failed, holidays feel far off, and the days in January are still dark and wet. That does sound rather gloomy, which is why we’re transforming Blue Monday into BlooMonday!

Transform Blue Monday into BlooMonday

Flowers make you happy. Their bright colours and delightful scents stimulate your senses and instantly lift your spirits. That’s why Blue Monday is the perfect day to treat yourself to a beautiful bouquet. Opt for cheerful colours to bring more energy into your home, or soft tones for a calming atmosphere. Choosing flowers is a treat in itself, but arranging them at home is just as enjoyable. Pick a lovely vase, trim the stems of the flowers, arrange each flower carefully, and then find the perfect spot in your home. A blissful little moment of happiness!

Also, buy a few extra cut flowers to place in small vases throughout your home—in the hallway, kitchen, living room, bathroom, on your bedside table, and so on. Anywhere you spend time or pass by! These little bursts of colour and life will instantly brighten up any space. Every time you catch a glimpse of them, you’ll feel a sense of calm and happiness. Whether you’re cooking, working, or winding down at the end of the day, those flowers will serve as a gentle reminder of nature’s beauty and simplicity. And that’s how we’ve transformed Blue Monday into BlooMonday—by surrounding ourselves with the things that bring us joy and light, turning an ordinary day into a celebration of positivity!
