How To Whitelist Lily and Thistle Emails
Taking about 2 minutes to get Lily and Thistle on your email “whitelist” will ensure that you don’t miss the free resources and special offers I send your way!
Also, if you find an email from hannah@lilyandthistle.com in your spam or junk folder, please hit the “not spam”, “not junk” or similar button, as that will train your program to whitelist it.
