It is fundamental and elevating. Taking the time to make the mundane into extraordinary can be as simple as a mindset. Red Flower encourages that mind-set by deliberately pursuing something beyond expectations - every texture and aroma are bountiful and embracing. It feels as if you are being enveloped into a cocoon of flowers and anointed with nectar. This moment of sensory indulgence is ageless, timeless, dreamy and to be cherished.
“It is wonderful to be utterly cherished.”
