Josh and I are huge fans of Shark Tank. What we usually do is record the entire series on our dvr and then when we have time, we will snuggle up in bed and watch a few episodes together. Some nights its like a Shark Tank marathon for us and we love every bit of it! I love seeing the different inventions/ideas that people come up with. Most of the ideas are great and I always think "Why didn't I think of that?!?!" On one episode that we were watching the other night, there was a company called The Bouqs that were presenting their idea to the "sharks." The Bouqs Company has their very own flower farm, growing fresh flowers in the rich soil of an active volcano. All their bouquets are cut to order and are sent directly to your doorstep. The Bouqs take the pain and confusion out of choosing which flowers to get. Their pricing is set at a flat fee of $40 for all original size bouquets plus FREE shipping. This allows you to choose the bouquet you love without thinking of the price! The Bouqs have been seen on Shark Tank, The Today Show and Popsugar. They have also been featured in a few magazines such as O! Oprah and Forbes too. They are changing the flower industry one bouquet at a time!
With Fourth of July right around the corner, The Bouqs are bringing back their Red, White and Bouq (red, white and blue roses) Check them out HERE! This fun bouquet is the perfect gift to bring with you to that Fourth of July party you might be attending. Hosting a party on the Fourth? How great would these look on your counter or table for your guests to see?!?! I want to host a party now, just so I can order this gorgeous bouquet for my counter!
Check out their other flower selections HERE.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY & SOME UNEXPECTED PICTURES

Sunglasses: Jessica Simpson // Red Jewelry: F21 // Watch: Gift //

Shirt: Thrifted // Capris: Thrifted// Shoe: Victoria's Secret // Button: Dollar Tree

For those of you that saw our silly picture from yesterday's post

you are probably wondering what the story is behind that funny picture huh?!?

Tuesday when I got home from work, I changed and walked over to Paola's house

(her house is literally right in my backyard) to take some fashion pictures for the 4th of July.

We had planned on getting some fun 4th of July balloons from the Dollar Tree for pictures,

but when we got there, they told us that they were out of helium! Really?!? Are you kidding me!?!?

So we ended up getting some 4th of July buttons, leis, and flags instead for our pictures which

as you will see below worked out great. This was all totally unplanned but we love how it turned out!

First...let me just tell you that Arizona is known

for having dust storms.. and when they hit it is windy!

On our way back, we noticed that the sky was

starting to get dark. Please don't rain..please don't rain!!

We first starting taking pictures of each other and then I thought, why not take some pictures

together with our fun 4th of July stuff?!?! So we did!! We were able to take some great pictures

together while hoping and praying that it wouldn't rain or the dust storm wouldn't come our way.

Well.....we spoke way too soon!!!

Just as Paola was getting the leis separated for one last picture
(and as the timer on my camera was counting down)
10....9....8...7...6....5....4...3...2....1......

WOOOOOOOSSHHHHHH!!

The wind hit and this is the picture that we ended up with.....
