Flower Photo: Purple Birthday Bouquet

As promised, here's a photo of the pretty purple flowers that Ogre picked to go with my sunflower bouquet for my birthday. I planted the picture in Google, and the closest visually similar image in the search was the Rhododendron genus. But thanks to Hetty and Kate, I finally know that they are Alstroemeriam, commonly called Peruvian lilies .

Manicure Monday: Heart and Fishnet Nail Art by Jamberry Nails

I paired Heartstrings with a Silver and White Fishnet accent nail, both designs which have been retired from the Jamberry Nails line. But don't let that shatter your soul - there's several sweet heart nail stickers on Amazon . Want to be a guest blogger for my Manicure Monday when I don't have new nails of my own to show off?

Flower Photo: Sunflower Birthday Bouquet

Didn't Ogre pick pretty flowers to make a birthday bouquet for me? Last summer I spent a lot of time photographing stunning sunflowers , so he opted for those to bring me sunshine during these winter days. In past years, he's picked purple dahlias , glittery spider mums and of course, the traditional red roses . My birthday is so close to Valentine's Day that he always gives me presents and flowers. I'm such a spoiled soul.
