The Bloom Equation

The Bloom Equation We create meaningful gifts and arrangements using the lost language of flowers. The Language of Flowers is making a comeback. We can ship these anywhere.

What secret message would your flowers say? Maybe you'd like a beautiful floral adornment that added festivity (baby's breath) or an extra layer of magic or fascination (fern) to your outfit. At The Bloom Equation, we use can make floral pieces that do just that. Maybe you'd like to send a secret message to someone you'd like to be more than friends with. On bloomequation.com we have several beautiful secret message bouquets that say "I want you" or "I like you" or you can create a personalized message for delivery anywhere in San Francisco. Looking for something outside of San Francisco? How about a Flower Message in a Bottle? Choose from an array of creatively bottled dried flowers that send messages like "good health" or "kiss and make up" or order your own personalized message. Start speaking the language of flowers with The Bloom Equation and add a little more fun and beauty to someone's life today.

Something I’ve always really enjoyed doing is using flowers, and especially the language of flowers, to help someone heal from the loss of a loved one. This was a rose, which had fallen to pieces, that was saved from a loved one’s funeral. I used the pieces to build this new flower and enclosed it in a glass bell jar for safe keeping. It’s the first time I’ve ever attempted something like this.
Have you ever saved a flower that held special meaning for you and had it fall to pieces?

Being sick with kids (and getting them sick) is very dramatic; celebrating its last day (I’m pretty hopeful/sure we’ll ALL be feeling great tmmrw) with a little Corona 👑 flair felt apt.

Integrity is important to me. It is to be whole, undivided. And that takes honesty. I’m going to give this gift to myself to kick off my 38th year.

So, I’d like to share something with you if I may. To be honest. I have decided to put this beloved company on pause, for the most part. That looks like only taking very very few weddings, events and workshops at this moment in time. It also means, for the most part, not creating products. It looks like rarely checking my email. It looks like prioritizing blog posts on my website, but not doing them on a schedule. I’m hoping this honesty means I’ll be posting to Instagram more frequently, but I’m not going to stress about it.

Because. Because I found myself constantly wondering when I would get to do work. Because I was thinking about this when I was playing with my daughters. Because I was stressed and not actually present. Because honestly, what I want most is to radiate love and bask in joy… and I was doing neither by constantly feeling the need to be doing something other than what I was doing.

The pause: “pause” because one day, I’ll have a gorgeous workshop space in the middle of a flower farm and vineyard, and it will be a destination spot for workshops, possibly also weddings. One day, when my babies aren’t babies and need me a little less, it will feel more easily joyous to spend my time playing with flowers and teaching other people to through the language of flowers.

So. That’s where I’m at. I was afraid to share because I’ve spent my life focused on achieving career-wise/financially and this is a big departure from that mindset. To not be striving in this way feels embarrassing, if I’m being honest. But. Really, truly, what’s most important to me is loving as a verb and sharing joy. So. Here I am. Slowing down. Slowing all the way down.

It would mean a lot to me if you stand by me for this part, too.

Warmly,

Miquila (Mika)

The opportunity to create with flowers. Damn. I don’t have much time lately but when I get it I feel a desire to rearrange everything just to be able to do this… even if it is in five minute intervals over the course of a day. I love it. I really, truly do.

The time to create. When your productive minutes are sprinkled in between cuddles and cries, the pliers live on the kitchen table and the construction process feels that much sweeter.

I so often have a YERN to make wreaths. I see plants as I go about my day and judge their leaves for how they’d look in the arrangement I have been building, if only in my mind. This one is all succulents, which is hugely challenging because of how easy it is to slice through them with the wire when you’re tying.

Still.
The slowness, the interruptions, the process. Isn’t it lovely?

Seasons: week prompt 1

Under normal circumstances, it would make sense for me to talk about autumn and the beautiful flora that comes with it. But. More realistically, this is, for me, the season of the twins. The season of family.

More than anything else, this dictates my work right now. If I’m being more honest: right now, they are my work.
I started this company from love. A love for language and communication (specifically mathematics, poetry and the language of flowers); a love for nature, a love of making things with my hands, a love for teaching.

And now, I pause this company in the name of Love.

More on this to come.

Hi! Still on maternity leave over here; and I’ve been slower getting back to emails than I expected. My husband and I joke that we’re running a farm— there’s always something to do (usually revolving the bodily functions of tiny people) and rarely any time to stop and THINK, let alone get work done.

But oh aren’t they adorable? Fun fact: this photo taken by the amazing is modeled after a photo I had on my Vision Board board for years. I’m tired, and really haven’t done anything much for myself (including work) but I am so very grateful for the dream come true that is these lovelies.

Everything (and somehow nothing) has changed since we met as 20 and 24 year olds in Italy.

To the love of my life: Everything about our world’s different from when we met in Italy at 20 and 24 years old, young bucks looking to make the most of their time by getting into mischief. And yet, the thing that feels, that has always felt, right about us remains.

Happy anniversary to the person who is my Home.
