Flowers Delivered by The Bouqs - #MothersDay

Disclosure:  Todays beautiful post is sponsored by The Bouqs who provided flowers to facilitate my review. As always all opinions are 100% my own.

Woop-Woop, here it is, day 6 of our Mother's Day Gift Guide. Where did the time go? Wow, it's been a busy week.  Maybe we can make it better with flowers from The Bouqs!
BTW - How many of the giveaways in our gift guide have you entered? You should be saying 5 right now and working on your 6th.  Even more if you entered over at Mamawj's Moment Away too!

Today we're talking about one of my favorite things - FLOWERS!  Everyone who knows me, knows that there are few things I love more than flowers and furry animals but we'll save the fur babies for another day.

I can grow flowers all year long, but cutting them for myself and having some delivered fresh to my door are two different things.  Having flowers sent to you, just makes you feel special, more beautiful, more loved and happy in general. Have you ever seen anyone get flowers and have a frown on their face?  I don't think so.

When the folks at The Bouqs offered to send flowers for me to review I was happy to say yes.  I'd heard about The Bouqs Co. before, the name wasn't new to me.  As a matter of fact the founder of The Bouqs, John Tabis was on The Shark Tank tonight!

What makes The Bouqs different?

The Bouqs works by sending flowers directly from partner farms in Ecuador directly to shoppers in the United States without the involvement of a middleman.  They only cut what they sell.  What does that mean for you?

  1. Faster shipments
  2. Fresher Flowers
  3. Better prices!!!  
They uniquely have a flat rate price.  That means you don't pay shipping or any special handling charges. It's a simple concept that works with 3 pricing structures.
The Bouqs ordering process was the simple and easy.  I'd go as far as to say it's the simplest I've ever used.  My flowers are on their way so I can't show you my bouquet today but I'll be posting a picture and more of my thoughts as soon as they arrive.  Julie and I wanted to be sure to share this with all our readers on our Mother's Day Gift Guide.

If you'd like to order flowers you can visit The Bouqs website here: https://www.thebouqs.com/

Consider how the wild flowers grow.  They do not labor or spin.  Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.

Free Clark and Kensington Paint From Ace With a Side of Hardee's Biscuits

Wow, how time flies.  These pics were from June 16th and I'm just getting them on the blog.  Most of you don't know but I LOVE Hardee's Breakfast Biscuits!
 
No kidding. One of the things I used to love about traveling was I knew we'd get up early enough, yes, we're that late of sleepers, to go to Hardees for breakfast.  I'm  a simple girl, I always get the same biscuit.  A ham biscuit - YUM!  I think I could eat one for breakfast every morning.  This isn't a review, it's just a passion.  This Saturday morning we made it to Hardees, no trip out of town or anything.  I was a happy girl.

After that we headed to Turner Ace Hardware, here in Jacksonville.  Do you know why?  FREE PAINT.  Yep, I couldn't pass up on the free paint coupon I had.  It was only good for that day.  This year Ace Hardware Corp. introduced Clark + Kensington, a new line of premier paint-and-primer-in-one.
Turner Ace has been a landmark of the Arlington area for years.  I can't tell you how many times Neil has sent me up there to get things over the years.  I love that I can run in, get friendly help from a knowledgeable employee, if not the owner himself and get out in a matter of minutes.  But boy has Ace grown over the years.  Just look at the Beautiful Orchids they have in the nursery.
Orchids make me think of my sweet mama.  I remember when my first prom was coming up and I wanted roses, carnations or some other standard flower, she said Tracy you should have an orchid corsage.  They are so much more elegant.  Mama's know best.
I've finally got a chance to go get my hair cut with my Great Clips gift card, so I need to show ya'll my new do.  It's off the neck in time for summer.  It feels so much better.
I can see these gorgeous orchids in my bedroom or bath now.  Wouldn't they look beautiful and serene.  Heck, I want some for the buffet in the dining room too. 
I have a feeling they'd last about 2 Min's with these little Kitty's around.

Then they get tuckered out.  And I get to work cleaning up.  It's a shame it doesn't last long.
And look at the Bromeliads!  Those colors are so vibrant.  The leaves are nearly spotless.  Seeing those bold colors in nature, it's no wonder that they're so popular in decor now!  That shade of green is hot, hot, hot for interior design.  Bromeliads are easy to care for and have that obvious tropical look.  They make great interior plants too.
Isn't Sarah cute taking my Free coupon from me for the paint.  I love the friendly staff there.  Now, I only have to decide what to use my new quart of paint for.  So many projects in mind.  So stayed tuned to see what color I picked and what I do with it.

By the way - don't forget the 2 giveaways I'm having right now.  Just click on the picture on the right sidebar.

And I have a BIG giveaway starting later today.  So come back and read my review and enter to win.  You won't be sorry.  
Hint - It has nothing to do with paint or Ace but it is something for your home.
Ya'll have a great day.  ♥Tracy
