Does she have any thoughts on being in the pages of VERANDA's July/August 2014 issue? Yes, she's very happy to be in VERANDA, however, she did let us know she was expecting to be on the cover.

What's next for Lily? Lily was very sick when she was little, we believe the LA sunshine, exercise, good food and lots of love have made her happy and healthy… she is in talks to do a children's book about it!
