When we think of a dining room, we normally think of sitting down on a table eating. We tend to forget what the room represents. How many times have we sat around on the table surrounded by the people we love and catch up about life.
The dining room is where family comes together and spend time together. With this in mind, this particular area of your home should be a welcoming and inviting space. Here's a couple of tips to help you:

Here are our top tips on how to make your bathroom the most relaxing sanctuary in your home.
1. Storage and having a place for everything is key – No one wants to relax in the middle of clutter. That’s just a fact. The first thing you must remember is to keep your bathroom as tidy as possible. Take advantage of cupboards and storage solutions to hold all your stuff. Keep the sink areas tidy with only the essentials. Start with this and see how much it will change your daily routine!
2. A waterproof speaker will do wonders to set the mood – Speakers nowadays are much more sophisticated and some are even waterproof so you can take them in the shower with you. It’s no secret that music is such a powerful tool so why not incorporate that into your bathroom routines? A fun, upbeat playlist will hype you up for the day in the morning and a more chilled out, slower tempo tracks will help you unwind after a long day.
3. Add some life to the space – We might be biased but we genuinely believe in the power of flowers to not just lift the mood but actually turn a space from ‘blah’ to ‘fab’. The great thing about our preserved roses is that they won’t wilt and can weather the changes in temperature in your bathroom throughout the day. Besides, who wouldn’t want to be staring at beautiful roses while relaxing in the tub? Start with our collections here (www.foreverosa.com/collections)
4. Invest in great towels – Towels aren’t just things we use to dry us off after shower. Be honest, how often do you get out of the shower and stay in your towel for a couple more minutes while scrolling through your phone? We know we have! So why shouldn’t your towels be lush and pretty to display?
5. Curate the scent – Some people swear by tying a bouquet of fresh eucalyptus by their shower others like to light a scented candle while they shower. Both these examples have one thing in common – scent! Think about it this way: do you buy shower products according to smell? Then why not apply the same principle to your bathroom. Surround yourself with relaxing scents and you’ll truly make every shower a calming, invigorating experience.
Have the most relaxing sanctuary!

There’s no denying that the past year of being in quarantine and living through a pandemic has been challenging. One of the things we’ve noticed is that we now have a newfound appreciation of our homes. We spend so much time at home and have felt really inspired by our surroundings. When you are confined to one space, you start looking at things differently.
And that’s how our table series idea was born! We started thinking about the corners of our home and the spaces we frequently use. Before the pandemic, a bathroom was just a place we used to help us prepare to go to work or outside. Now it’s a place where we relax after a long day and unwind.
We started thinking about these areas of our home that gave us comfort during the last year and how best to spruce them up and make our houses truly a home.
For our first Table Series post, we wanted to share some tips on how to style a bedside table.
1. Keep a notebook and pen handy
Perfect for noting down those last minute to-do list reminders, clear your head before going to bed, or even noting down your dreams. Keeping a notebook and pen in your bedside table means your always ready to keep track of important ideas and thoughts as they pop up.
2. Clutter free is the key
It’s important to keep our spaces clutter free, most especially our bedside table. We start and end our day in bed so make sure that your surroundings are relaxing. The best way to do that is to keep it as clutter free as possible and instead only have a few, key pieces beside you.
3. Make it pretty
As we’ve said in the previous point, we start and end our day in bed and spend so much time in it. That goes without saying that our bedside tables are an extension of that sanctuary. The one piece of furniture we consistently look at while in bed. Why not make it pretty with a bouquet of our preserved roses? Because they’re preserved, they will last you for a long time. Choose a stylish vase that fits your décor and theme and let these roses brighten up your day everyday!
4. Scents and other smells
While the preserved Rose arrangements are a feast for the eyes, now is the time to think about engaging your sense of smell. What do you want your bedroom to smell like? Vanilla? Something floral? Citrusy? Musky? There are so many scented candles in the market so you’re sure to find the perfect scent for you. We like to go with something light and fresh during Spring and Summer, then move on to a heavier and muskier scent for Autumn and Winter!
5. Pick a colour palette
We recommend choosing a colour palette with only three key colours in it so it’s easier to style and maintain. You can never go wrong with neutral tones like beige, browns, creams, and black! Even if neutrals aren’t your thing, it’s easy to add a pop of bright colours when you’re starting with a neutral base. We went with a black vase, white flowers as our key piece for this bedside table and made sure that all the other items we add compliments that! A clean colour palette is also more relaxing, making your room a true haven to relax and rest!
Happy styling!

Here at Forever Rosa, our community is at the heart of what we do.
Our products aim to make a difference by spreading love and joy to those around us, and what better way to do this by giving back to fantastic organisations in New Zealand who are dedicated to making life better for others.
Our spotlight this week is on Age Concern Auckland. They are a Charitable Organisation dedicated solely to the over 65s and is one of the most significant providers of services across Auckland that connects, supports, empowers, celebrates and respects the older people in our community.
Each year, they receive tens of thousands of requests for help ranging from those simply seeking advice and guidance to providing dedicated support to some of the most vulnerable older members living in our communities. To know more about Age Concern Auckland and their wonderful work in our community, visit their website here.
Covid-19 has hit all of us hard, but none harder than the aged community. Not only are they considered to be at most risk health wise, but these unprecedented times have brought about significant economic, emotional and psychological impacts.
New Zealand is known to have an ageing population and that is why we consider Age Concern Auckland’s work within the community to be impactful, significant, and highly relevant right now and in the future.
Grandma Rosa was our inspiration for our business. We remember her fondly for her heart of gold and due to her nature, she was loved by many. Although she is no longer with us today, she is a reminder to us that we should treasure and cherish our loved ones, especially those in the aged community, as they deserve all the love, support and respect.
We are extremely proud to introduce our partnership with Age Concern Auckland, whereby $1 is donated from any and every purchase of our products at Forever Rosa. Every little bit helps and knowing that a small part of your purchase will go towards a meaningful organisation is simply satisfying.
It is our belief that through our Forever Rosa products, we are sharing long-lasting love and joy to both the giver and the receiver. With this new partnership, you are also sharing the same with your community.
From the bottom of our hearts here at Forever Rosa, thank you for supporting us and our local community.
It is our aspiration to bring a memorable gift experience to all our customers, and what better way to achieve this through our Preserved Roses collection.
You can choose from a variety of colours and packaging, whether it be to impress or making a moment memorable. Our Ceramic, Flair, Petite and Suede collections offer you a variety of Preserved Roses, fit for any purpose, customised with your loved ones in mind.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
1. Preserved roses are the quintessential gift, suitable for any occasion or situation.
Is Valentines Day coming up? Every other chap and his dog are getting their loved ones roses delivered from the local florist and by the end of the day, and those roses will have lost their freshness and beauty. But not you because you wanted something unique and you got preserved roses. Yours last forever just like your love. (Cheesy).
Was grandma told to stay in the hospital for a few more weeks longer? Why don’t you bring life to her room and cheer her up daily, by reminding her to stay strong and beautiful just like the preserved roses you gave her? It will stay with her throughout her recovery, and long after when life returns to normal. She will love you for it.
2. Our roses are REAL roses
None of that artificial stuff. They are made of a specifically selected species cultivated on the Emihana farm in Cayambe, Ecuador. The harvested roses are treated using a special procedure that extends their shelf life with several years without compromising the roses’ natural shape and radiance.
3. Environmentally Friendly
Long-lasting preserved roses equals environmentally friendly. How you so you may ask? The longevity of flowers greatly reduces waste and transportation costs in comparison with imported cut and artificial flowers. Since you are not continually purchasing and replacing roses, you pile up significantly less waste (think about all of the bits and pieces thrown in together with a bouquet) and drastically reducing your carbon footprint activity.
Also bearing in mind that preserved roses do not require any caring for; no need to waste precious water on a dying plant nor the need for it to get sunlight to ensure it stays fresh. Low maintenance, easy peasy. Yay you and the mother earth!
4. Value for Money
Most importantly, preserved roses are value for money because they keep more money in your pocket by lasting longer. You don’t have to regularly spend your hard-earned resources as you would normally do with fresh-cut roses.
Our Preserved Roses collection ticks all the boxes.
Can’t wait to spread love and joy to your loved one - then what are you waiting for?
