Hint 1: Freshen up your holiday centerpieces

The thing that makes flowers in centerpieces wilt fastest once they are cut is bacteria in the water, which is no longer being filtered by the flowers' roots.

To help blooms last longer, just give the bouquet a drink from your water-filtered pitcher, or pour in some leftover water from boiling potatoes or veggies after it cools.

Water from veggies have extra - extra nutrients!

Hint 2: Make wreaths last longer with hairspray! Yep, you read that right...hairspray!

The key to keeping your pine wreath looking and smelling fresh is as close as your bathroom cabinet.

Turns out, a spritz of hairspray seals in moisture and keeps the pine needles from drying out.

Your outside wreath may need a spritz or two every few days to keep them looking gorgeous.
