Gettin' Ready for Mother's Day - Gift Suggestions For You

 Hi ya Gorgeous!
Happy Monday!
I think I've said it before, but just in case, I love Mondays!  I get so much accomplished!

Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 13 - which is also my birthday! Every couple of years as the calendar cycles, my birthday and Mother's Day fall on the same day.  I get double the celebration!

I must say that as a proud mother of a son, I find my most favorite Mother's Day gifts are the ones he makes for me. He is an excellent technical artist and draws the most intricate ships, tanks, planes and aircraft carriers.  I love receiving his artwork!

Though some wine, chocolate and perfume is good too with the help of Grandma and Grandpa who take him shopping for me.

So, while those are some of my favorite gifts - I have some great choices for you to get on Amazon Prime with free shipping that if you order in the next day or two, there is still plenty of time to receive it and wrap it for the person who was a Mom to you.

A great Spring'y / Summery handbag!  This is a Zac Posen bag - though anything light colored would make for a great Mom handbag!

Classic Fragrance! This Marc Jacobs scent is fresh and modern for Moms!

A lovely piece of jewelery! Pearls are always a great choice!

And for fun, here is a video of a great gift set from Borghese! Their skincare products are amazing! Enjoy!

How to fix dry winter skin: 2 steps with Tree Hut Shea Butter

Hi ya Gorgeous!

Who else has dry itchy skin now that the season has finally changed and it's winter. Well, almost winter. I was recently in Southern California and it was as hot there as it is here in the desert!

We got a winter like storm the past few days and it has made it a lovely shade of grey and blue with rain even!

So the weather change has some itchy skin symptoms and if you too have this, try some Tree Hut. The brand is made in the USA, easily available at Walmart stores nationwide and has a commitment to natural ingredients and practices.

This Shea Sugar Scrub with Brazilian Nut has a light grit to it and easy slip on the skin so no harsh dragging on sensitive parts.

The Tree Hut Shea Body Butter is thick and rich and moisturizing and on me, lasts through a hand wash. You can even get this on Amazon in a 3 pack at a sale price here http://amzn.to/2galN4p

I think these products make a great Christmas gift for a teacher, service industry professional or co-worker.

Get yours today!

One Week to Happy Healthy Nails with Sally Hansen 18K Gold

Hi ya Gorgeous!

It has been a whirlwind of traveling and it feels so good to be home! There is so much going on with everything in every which way!

I've completely blown and gotten off track from my Weight Watchers plan- traveling and staying on my points was really hard and there were too many temptations that I gave into!  So, back to square one tomorrow for me!

The Makeup University Holiday Gift Guide starts today on Youtube and there will be a second post today to launch! 

Now, it's "Mani Monday" and I'm wearing the new Sally Hansen 18K Gold Hardener and cuticle eraser. 

I painted my nails and used the cuticle tool before I left for the American Film Market, and then wore it for ten days straight and it still looks good! I love the light gold flecks and plan to re-do my nails this week and wear it over the top of a color.

On me, I have cuticles that are like callouses due to my Hashimotos. So, the first few applications did not dazzle but then again, there is a lot for it to work with! I'm going to start using it again today!

You can find these at mass retailers and drug stores nationwide as well as online for under $10!
Which makes these a perfect stocking stuffer!
