There's nothing like receiving flowers from a loved one. It's a wonderful visual reminder that someone thinks your special and wanted you to know it.

Note: I received "The Best of Me" ProFlowers prize also. No other compensation was received. Any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

This month The Best of Me and ProFlowers wants to help you give a loved one that special feeling with "The Best of Me" bouquet, inspired by the film and brought to you by acclaimed author Nicholas Sparks.

"The Best of Me" bouquet draws from the film's picturesque garden scene, where the two main characters unite to give their love a second chance.


About the Film – In Theaters October 17, 2014

Based on the bestselling novel by acclaimed author Nicholas Sparks, The Best of Me tells the story of Dawson and Amanda, two former high school sweethearts who find themselves reunited after 20 years apart, when they return to their small town for the funeral of a beloved friend. Their bittersweet reunion reignites the love they've never forgotten, but soon they discover the forces that drove them apart twenty years ago live on, posing even more serious threats today.



Spanning decades, this epic love story captures the enduring power of our first true love, and the wrenching choices we face when confronted with elusive second chances.

The Best of Me stars James Marsden, Michelle Monaghan, Luke Bracey and Liana Liberato.

Thanksgiving will be here soon. This year go beyond helping around the house and show your holiday host appreciation with a thoughtful gift from Rabbit, Glow-ology or Diamond Candles.

• A go-to for a hostess gift is often a candle, but you don’t need to clean out your piggy bank for an eco-friendly option. Diamond Candles are 100% soy wax candles that come in plenty of holiday and autumn inspired scents, like Caramel Apple Cider, that have a surprise inside! Giving a nice candle that reveals a ring valued at $10, $100, $500, $1,000 or $5,000 is a gift that gives twice. Bonus points: the candle is made right here in the USA, continuing the patriotic tradition of Thanksgiving!

• Whether you’re going to a smaller dinner or are gearing up for a big Thanksgiving feast, making sure the drinks are cold is key and is something you can help your hostess with. Keep wine, cider and other drinks chilled stylishly without messy icy buckets with the Rabbit Wine Chilling Carafe. The naturally BPA-free carafe keeps wine cold for 90 minutes, and can be repurposed for orange juice during Friday’s breakfast.

• Give her a hand with glow-ology’s Hand Wash and Hand Balm. The hand wash uses natural, coconut-derived cleansers to cleanse and moisturize skin, and has delightful scents like jasmine, orange blossom and water-lily in their renew.thrive.flourish. scent. And their fragrant hand balm will help pamper and renew her over-washed hands from preparing for the big day with pure shea butter balm with natural alpha-hydroxy acids.

• With a group that always brings the party? Bring your favorite bottle of wine with Rabbit Wine Charms and Rabbit Non-Slip Coasters that way guests will always know whose wine is whose. The wine charms come in six different colors, and their concise clip style makes them easy to pop on a glass and forget about, without worrying about losing your glass.
