Lily Love And Inspiration

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of iBulb for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

 

Do you love lilies, gladiolus and irises? Bulbs are great for gifting and decorating with. They are an easy way to bring life and color to your home or special occasion. You can find beautiful ideas for  bouquets, decorating, gifting, and more at lilies. Every special occasion should be celebrated with beautiful blossoms. I know some gals that say they don't want you to get them flowers, but deep down everyone feels loved when they receive pretty bulbs. Lilies can brighten a room, and put a smile on your face. Just picture those flowers above on your vanity or night stand. They bring life, color, and texture to a room. 

If you or someone you know is getting married you must visit lilies Pinterest page for inspiration and ideas at http://pinterest.com/ibulblilies/for-weddings/. That's where I found this stunning table-scape. I love that your guests can still see each other, and  converse easily, even with the stunning flower arrangement in the center. 

Lilies make a great gift for women who want the beauty of flowers but don't want to take care of them.  Roses can sometimes feel cliché but lilies are perfect for every occasion. They are beautiful and modern, perfect for an anniversary or birthday. I hope you don't have any apologizing to do, but if so, lilies are a perfect choice for gifting. Ladies don't wait for a gift, in fact I bought myself flowers on Mother's day because they make me smile.  Treat yourself to lilies. You can purchase potted bulbs at your local grocery stores, garden centers, and flower shops. Below are more images that really inspired me:

 

Flowers are a great specimen for practicing your macro photography. They have so much beauty and detail to capture. 

 

Do you have a treasured vase from your grandmother or a new flea market find? Do it justice with beautiful lilies.

 

I am not sure why I love them so, maybe it's because pink is one of my favorite colors, or maybe it's because I am a Friends fan, and Rachel's favorite flower was  lilies, either way you can't go wrong with flowers.

Are Your Feet Ready For Sandals #NaturalBeauty

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Tree Hut for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

It's almost Summer, and depending on where you live, you might have already busted out the sandals and flip flops. Living in Northern California, high in the Sierra Mountain range, we have a long Winter. It's finally getting to be sandal temperatures, and I am so excited to show off my cute pedicures. Tree Hut foot cream and hand care products are developed to keep hands and feet feeling smooth and healthy, and looking their best. 

 Tree Hut foot cream is made with certified organic Shea Butter, Argan Oil, and Rose Hip Oil. These ingredients help keep our skin smooth and soft, with natural anti-aging properties, that promote elasticity in your skin. It's a non-greasy formula, that you can wear easily under your clothes. What makes Tree Hut  better from other hand and foot care products is that it's  made in the USA,  is Paraben and DMDM free, and is not tested on animals. It's a product that you can feel good about purchasing, and that actually works. 

Tree Hut hand cream is made with Certified Organic Shea Butter, Aloe Vera, and Peppermint Oil. These ingredients will help repair skin, moisturize, reduce signs of aging, promote elasticity, and soothe skin. It too is Paraben and DMDM free, made in the USA, and not tested on animals. 

Tree Hut Foot Scrub is made with Certified Organic Shea Butter, real sugar, and peppermint oil.  It repairs and moisturizes, has anti-aging properties, promotes elasticity, and exfoliates skin making it feel smooth and soft. It too is  Paraben and  DMDM free, made in the USA, and  not tested on animals. I personally love foot scrubs because they make my feet feel soft and look great. The peppermint oil is extremely invigorating after a long work day.
